Software Engineer

One major difference I found is form job descriptions pov, "engineer" in title gets paid more than "developer" in title.

Backend engineer

What do you think, does they both mean the same?

"What's the difference between a programmer and a software engineer? One writes code, the other writes code that works."

Software engineer

I am an engineer, what I enjoy is solving technically challenging problems. I don't really want to spend my time bothering with non-code solutions to your business problem, and I don't care how much money my code makes you. Just have a tech lead give me a challenging tech problem to solve or build for(WITH the necessary requirements) and I'll get it done. Simple. 


Personally I'm saddened to see how chasing impact has taken over all good tech companies, and how you basically HAVE to create value and take ownership in other ways if you want to be SDE-3 or higher. I would rather be a more technically competent, deliverer SDE (think someone who's extremely good at being an SDE-1). Climbing the SDE ladder is boring.

Any other engineers find it boring and frustrating to chase impact?

Which is good operations engineer or software developer in the long run and why?

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Software architect

Can anyone tell the basic difference between consultant and SDE

Analyst

Hi, just reaching out to people working in core technology and engineering (Not IT, Consulting, PM, UI/UX People) for general discussion on the state of R&D in India, your pay, comparisons to IT folks by your family friends etc.
You may be working in R&D as an engineer or building some deep tech product as an entrepreneur
Non exclusive list
Mechanical/Chemical/Material engineers
People working on Drones/Robots/Transportation/Defense Tech

I am missing a lot of fields here, but I believe there are lot of communities out there of software engineers, design folks, MBAs, not much of the hands on engineers in India

Shoutout to Core/Deep Tech People

How many of you are using it in your company?

Are design systems overrated?

Product Designer

This a genuine question and I'm honestly curious and don't know whom to ask this. I'm here to get educated on this topic pls don't get me wrong

Why is diversity needed in software development role?

I know it's an apple-to-orange comparison but which of these two, according to you, leads to a better career*?

By a better career I mean a role that pays better, has better chances to increase that pay, better opportunities to have an impact, better WLB, better peer group, etc

*Let's assume we're talking about a respectable level of competency in either of these fields (a good engineer vs a good MBA)

Guys can someone tell me what is "Developer Advocate" saw many profiles on Twitter and how are these people especially girls are able to get remote jobs even after being from Tier 2-3 colleges???

Developer Advocate

I am unemployed since 1 year,did not do anything for 1 year coz of some reason , earlier I was in QA but now want to get into development. Already 1 year is gone which is big enough career gap and I am panicking. Now I am not able to understand whether I should join any software development course like Crio or shall I join any Data science/ML course. Whatever I have to do it will take 6 months more , but I guess I have no choice. I know basic nodejs and all but no knowledge of Data science however DS will be more in demand in future so that is why I am thinking about that. But I am not sure which one shall I take ?

I just wanted to know from folks that can anyone learn Data science in 6 months good enough to get a job or shall I opt for software development course. Also , if I shall go for data science course , please suggest me some good training institute for it.
