SDE is software development engineer. CS is usually considered a field of mathematics that can take many routes. SDE as a learning path generally focuses on programming languages and frameworks to build useful applications, if CS is theory focused then SDE is the application focus. IT generally focuses on already built frameworks and tools for managing corporate networks and data security.

Also, it’s preventative, too. Why resort to a life of crime when you can do something that you are interested in and can get paid for it! I wish we ditched the “need to go to college” for expanded trade programs. I would have loved to go to a Junior College or CC or even a trade school if they offered CS courses. The problem with most local colleges is they think IT/SDE/ and CS are all the same, but they are getting better about distinguishing them

You are banned from the People’s Republic of China and all Huawei networks.
Finance departments been going full throttle since trump won trying to determine if virtue signaling the left or right will make more money.
This was my understanding, too. Dude created his own hardware and software and then hand rolled an AI so he had more time to spend saving the world instead of hunched over a laptop. Anything he tells his own AI to do would probably be trivial to him to write himself but would take us months.

But Seattle doesn’t do cocaine Remember Microsoft is on the east side
Okay…. Cocaine probably played a large part
Best cocaine in Puget Sound comes from Bellevue, prove me wrong

A professor once told me “don’t trust ‘free software’ from a megacorp”, most important thing I learned in college.
But I want to be angry at you about something that is out of both of our control. Let me have my moment!
If we don’t have meetings then how am I going to not get any work done this sprint?
It actually makes me complain more. At first I thought it was a magical black box of wizardry only Einstein level geniuses could make and now I realize it’s a crapload of bad architecture piled on garbage frameworks.

I can give you a shit take if you want one, but I don’t have shiitake mushrooms.

looks at job board
WTF this article talking about
Found the PM/TPM. The best software was written without Agile and PMs/TPMs. It’s only after software becomes successful that the need is felt for that stuff.
The world runs on open source software and I don’t know of a single open source project that uses Agile or PMs/TPMs.

I really believe the future is going to be Zig + Rust. They both have very promising futures. Production and safety critical software will benefit from Rusts increased memory safety and Zig will be great for bleeding edge performance and drop-in C replacement.
Interesting comment on the Mac. At my workplace we can choose between Mac or Windows (no Linux option unfortunately, my personal computer runs Debian). Pretty much all the principle and senior devs go for Mac, install vim, and live in the command line, and I do the same. All the windows people seem over reliant on VSCode, AI apps, and a bunch of other apps Unix people just have cli aliases for and vim shortcuts. I had to get a loaner laptop from work for a week and it was windows. Tried using powershell and installing some other CLI tools and after the first day just shut the laptop and didn’t work until I got back from travel and started using my Mac again.
I was going to say this. I hate Java as much as the next dev, but everything runs on Java. If it’s web -> Spring, DevOps -> Jenkins, Event Streams -> Kafka, Big Data -> Spark, Logging & SRE -> Flink. All of these are built on JVM based languages. I am fortunate enough to program Rust daily at my job, but my options for getting another Rust job are severely limited. Everybody always wants Java or Go. They always ask for C++ , but I’m convinced that day 1 they would have you switch to Java.

What apps only work for straight white guys?
