I have a theory most people have very low opinion of coding as a profession. To them, it must look like the most dry and boring kind of work, even worse than accounting. That's why they don't flood our field by the millions, even after hearing hear how much we make and how cushy our jobs are.
- dmbche 3y agoI'm not a dumb person - I like to think at least - and am able to work complex software, run linux (arch) and use powershell quite often. I have no idea how to work in programming, and the environnement that is shown (non stop meetings, pointless hours of work wasted, weeks of crunch) is very very unattractive to me. I think it's just too weird still - unless you had an oportunity fall onto your lap to learn it, or went into CS in school, I doubt most see a way in or are not interested in the work environnement.
