We've gone from "IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY NOR THE JOB OF THE SOFTWARE ENGINEER TO DELIVER OR PRODUCE VALUE" to "As a software engineer I like/prefer/value other things". I'm not going to challenge your preferences as long as you don't enforce them on the whole industry.
- rrgok 4y agoI knew that phrase in caps would bite me at the end. I studied comp sci because I liked the field and expected that in my job I would learn and expand my knowledge about it. But the reality was completely opposite of all my expectation. The whole industry wanted me to provide service for things I was not prepared nor have an innate attitude/willingness/mindset to grasp and formulate a valuable opinion that other people can use without disappointment. It is hard for me to see disappointment from clients when they expected something I don't have the competency to provide. As software engineer I like to build things independently from their value in the market.
