Interesting that’s partially why I thought going lower end would be better. More no code / AI tools seem to be taking the higher end applications by storm. Lower end is more complex and critical so I figured the jobs there would be better. Also with the addition of new chip architecture I figured the industry would have their work cut out for them

    Hello everyone,

    I am a developer with 3+ years of experience with full stack technology so mostly .Net and React along with some side projects in other languages. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck moving from high-end projects, to lower end projects(C++). I've become extremely interested in lower level projects like, embedded programming, firmware, drivers, compatibility layers but I don't have any professional experience in those fields.

    I understand that projects like these are high priority so they are less interested in taking a risk for a Dev without professional experience in C, C++, or Rust, even if they liked the candidate. I just wanted some insight

    My parents were shit but he always made sure I was taken care of. Did his best to protect me from adult issues and even though his son, my dad, has screwed home over a lot, he has never talked poorly about my dad to me. He’s just a man’s man and I try to let him know he’s the one who made me what I am today.

    I am but I think they are not as open to change as they want to be because the only technical person on this team is an ex developer who works as a contractor. He admitted to me that he hates coding and I think hes just there for a 9-5 which is cool, but he's not open to improvements it seems.

    Will taking a job in one sector set my career path

    Hey I’ve been pretty luck last week and I managed to get 2 job offers.

    One is a good gig at a massive, old school financial group. I’m talking I have to wear a suit and tie. My biggest worry though is the tech is old and my coworkers and higher ups don’t seem bleeding edge so I doubt I’ll be flexing my developer muscles. Plus they have a volleyball intramural league

    The other company is contracted for 6 months with a really cool tech IoT company. Job through Insight Global, Full remote, Has amazing Glassdoor reviews, cool projects, I crushed their technical interview so I feel like I can actually contribute.

    I’m leaning towards the financial group because money matters and I want to feel secure.

    What I’m worried about is after 2 years I’ll be 27 and I’m scared that working as a SWE for a financial group won’t look as good so I’ll never be able to work on a project that I’m passionate about again

    Any advice?

    FPS gripe (lemmy.world)
     

    I used to be a console gamer. Bo2 on the Xbox 360 was my favorite game of all time. I moved to csgo, once I got a pc.

    My gripe with fps games on the deck is it doesn’t feel like a console fps, it feels like a pc game. I obviously understand why but I wish I could think of a way to change that. The controls just feel awful to me
