Either microcontrollers, operating systems, or something else involving RISC-V. That's still a ways off though.

I'm currently taking the very last CS class my major requires. I can't wait to leave OOP behind and focus on hardware completely.

"Dear floss4life,

Our developers have encountered an issue while using the open source framework you published on github. We have lost as many as 400 user accounts. The estimated cost of this error is $6800.

This is unacceptable. Be a professional and fix it immediately.

Memory safety is a skill, not a feature.

The face of a man desperately trying to convince the world that c++ has made c obsolete, so that more people may share in his misery.

They had a good thing going. YouTube was far from unprofitable. But the skyrocketing density and plummeting quality of ads drove people to adblockers.

I suspect though, the day will soon come when ad-space is no longer quite so valuable.

"I need you to tell me how we can incorporate ai in our product."

"Ai? How could ai possibly benefit our product?"

"Don't ask me that. you're the engineer, you should know."

"Well, then I'm telling you the product has nothing to gain from incorporating ai."

"Fine, I'll keep looking until I can find someone with actual vision. See you at your performance review."

People make fun of me for preferring C above any other language, but I think I'm the one having the last laugh.

What is it about python users just refusing to adapt to other languages?

its the things I hear from real software developers that concern me:

• You will spend your entire career chasing trends.
• The market is volatile. People are constantly getting abruptly laid off. SD has never been very stable, so you should plan on getting a new job every few years.
• Software companies are constantly looking for ways to make SD easier. As a result, your value will decrease over time, in preference for bootcampers and 2 year degree graduates.
• Nobody listens to developers. Your manager's beliefs about SD come entirely from consultants, magazines, and Elon Musk tweets.
• Nobody cares about quality software. If you take the time to make your code efficient and lightweight, all your manager sees is you taking longer to make something than your peers. After all, we can just raise hardware requirements if the software is slow.

the more i learn about software development, the more i feel I've dodged a bullet by changing my major to electrical engineering.

You know, when I typically ask a question on SO, its because I want to learn how that thing works, or how to write it myself. I usually say as much, but the SO folks are too focused on the ends, they completely neglect the means. Chances are I'm already aware of that no-code solution, but that's not what I'm asking for.
