  • I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

    I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.



  • There are usually many layers before your application actually gets to someone who understands the job and can actually evaluate how valuable you are to the role. There are an insane number of applications that are just gone before someone useful can actually read it.

    I know personally I would never have gotten my last 3 jobs were it not for networking and knowing people.

    Networking really is the way forward. I understand for some people that socialising is insanely difficult, but knowing the right people can get you jobs that you aren’t even qualified for.
