Trading companies do pay well, but that's a pretty boring and not value-adding industry to pigeonhole oneself into, and the corporate culture is beyond terrible. There aren't a plethora of interesting jobs sw devs can jump from an

The point is that it's not entirely useful for employers, which seems to be what you're concerned about. If 80% of people are committing to private corporate source control, and 20% are committing to private github accounts, it&#x

In my experience, any sub-reddits in my interests are filled with incredibly shallow or meme-filled posts. Never have I once thought to myself 'This subreddit is way better than [established forum/community] for this'. Maybe
