I must be really lucky. I work at a smaller engineering company, working for engineering clients, making software that analyses engineering data, and I get to use the languages and tools I want. I must be a unicorn at this point given how miserable most programmers seem to be.
- rockemsockem 3y agoI don't think hacker news is the best way to see how miserable most folks are.

- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoNope, you're not alone. I've spent most of my 30-year career writing embedded software for generally pretty interesting systems. Miserable people love bitching about it.
- albrewer 3y agoI have a mechanical engineering degree and work as a software developer. I tried for a long time to find a company like this but they all seem to only want people who very narrowly fit a senior engineer role in either specialization, never someone who can do both.
