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

  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.
