- FpUser 2y agoYou've found "the pretentious CS undergrad/junior dev" and I've found somebody who has no fucking clue what they're talking about. So we are even. I design and implement software products from scratch for various clients. Some I own and it brings me some extra money. Been doing it since 80s. Products range - various middleware, enterprise backends, desktop multimedia applications, deep sea scanning, firmware for microcontrollers, device control and real time data processing etc. etc.
