I find solace in the fact that most of these people will not "succeed"(by that I mean becoming respectable, competent engineers who will have good opportunities readily available to them). CS is hard; quite a large chunk of these sorts of people who enroll in bootcamps or try to major in CS end up dropping out or not pursuing a CS related job. Who knew that being genuinely interested in a subject helps in becoming good at it too.
- alephnerd 4y agoEhn maybe. I know some legitimately brilliant engineers who absolutely fucking hate code and once they grind up to staff, will nope to Engineering Management or Product Management. I liked code but at some point, I got pissed off at ego driven "10x" engineers who couldn't be bother to explain in a non-combative manner how they architected their code base even though I was directly impacted by it. I realized weilding the mallet of "Profit and Loss responsibility" could get the assholes to shut up and let the rest of the engineers get unblocked.
- wadd1e 4y agoYeah I see your point, but is that a product of an unideal work environment or a lack of passion? Mabye even both to be honest.
