I believe, you have got the multipliers switched. Most 1x engineers/developers care deeply about users and the end product, and also likes to keep the code well maintained and performant, so they can do their peaceful work and go home,

Erm no, coding happens at genesis of the product. The improvement, adjustments, maintenance is 99% of the lifetime. If you are a professional, please tell me about how much new code you write vs perform other stuff(meetings, alignment, feat

From university, I vaguely recall that, I had to implement a lot of feedback and correction calculations when working on industrial robotic arms. Usually too much speed causes overshooting(going the wrong trajectory or away from target). Th

When I see pro-AI promoters giving weird analogies that do not fit, I get a feeling that they are either management class(aka MBA types) or are not serious professionals. One key point we must first understand, coding is NOT software engine

Hey, this is not new. For me these are akin to a web dev building an ERP system vs another creative coder building beautiful motion graphics using same tech. While the ERP is boring as hell compared the the creative coding results, the latt

There is a saying we all know but often ignore. One needs money to make money. Large volumes of money/wealth can magnify one’s chances of success(or careless failure) faster than any other apporoach.

Agreed, after a year or two, blogs become your experience logs to prove experience and credibility once the landscape is killed by GenAI slops and SEO scams. Anyone can generate a big portfolio of projects these days(be it graphics, video,

Lay off is great if economy is booming(some 2012-2018 and then 2021) but nightmare if economy is screwed(2024-present). I recall commenting few days back that, the job market is so screwed now that even senior engineers with decades of expe
