Just curious, what does your software engineering career look like? Length, education, etc.
- noduerme 3y agoI've written code for profit for about 25 years, although I started learning to code in Perl and BASIC when I was 8 years old, so, 35 years total. I have a high school degree. I dropped out of art school. I'm self-taught. I've worked on some larger teams but generally in a role where I was responsible for a final module or piece of code from start to finish. Most of my career has been working alone, planning and building full stack custom software for midsized businesses and startups that need particular functionality in their workflows that they can't find off the shelf. Much of it is designing the business logic. Most of my codebase now is TS, NodeJS and PHP, (and SQL) although up until 2016 or so I did a huge amount of work, including games, in Actionscript 3.
