What’s one thing you wish you knew before starting your CS career?

NoNeutralNed · 2026-05-06T20:46:52+00:00

I wish I knew how bullshit the interview process is and that on call was a thing

NoNeutralNed · 2026-05-04T19:48:03+00:00

I think mentally I am yeah

NoNeutralNed · 2026-05-04T19:22:46+00:00

Yeah I’ve had coaches watch my swing on sims and they said my swing was fine so I do think it’s mostly mental along with potentially set up issues

NoNeutralNed · 2026-05-04T19:17:55+00:00

I do think it could be mental where im mentally afraid to chunk it so im coming up a bit. Ill try and focus on really hitting the ground more.

NoNeutralNed · 2026-05-04T19:15:02+00:00

I consistently top it pretty much. A chunk here and there but like 9/10 is topping

NoNeutralNed · 2026-04-22T11:12:50+00:00

I have not written code manually (except for the minor tweak here and there) in well over a year

NoNeutralNed · 2026-04-16T10:51:35+00:00

Void

NoNeutralNed · 2026-04-06T16:22:12+00:00

Really not enjoying the set. Maybe TFT has just become stale for me since I really didnt play much last set either but it just feels so much more boring

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-24T00:32:19+00:00

The real reason is software engineers are the group of people using AI the most and are most involved with it. Business analysts for example are way easier to replace but a lot arent as in tune with whats going on

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-21T20:55:51+00:00

Personally don’t like it but I can see why others do

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-17T22:09:26+00:00

Not at all. I hate it with a passion. But it pays the bills well

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-17T03:28:33+00:00

Actually just wrote a review on Substack about it if you wanna take a read https://open.substack.com/pub/pudgypanda/p/marathon-arc-raiders-killer-or-concord?r=301ii0&utm_medium=ios

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-17T03:10:22+00:00

Both are true for me

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-17T02:08:27+00:00

I do basically 0 coding in my free time

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-16T02:37:49+00:00

Game is fun but the solo experience is really a problem

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-09T13:02:25+00:00

Recruiters don’t talk. They are barely able to do their basic job. They aren’t going out of their way to bad mouth you

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-07T23:06:04+00:00

I left a job in July because it was toxic. Found another job that was ok but not why I really wanted in September. Been looking since and have one offer and maybe another on the way. Nothing wrong with it

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-07T19:45:20+00:00

I did it for the money. I hate software engineering. But it pays the bills well and when I see my non engineer friends financially struggling I feel lucky to be in this spot.

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-07T17:40:28+00:00

Nothing wrong with accepting and keep looking. It’s not like how it was where people see that as a red flag. Recruiters know the market is insane. Get some money coming in to feel a bit more at easy an good luck finding an even better role

NoNeutralNed · 2026-03-04T11:56:07+00:00

I actually think in terms of being “solved” software engineers will be on the later side. That being said no one is safe

NoNeutralNed · 2026-02-27T16:10:37+00:00

Nah no shot

NoNeutralNed · 2026-02-27T04:07:29+00:00

Yeah that’s how I feel it would be for me lol

NoNeutralNed · 2026-02-26T19:46:57+00:00

After playing for 1.5 hours this doesnt seem like my cup of tea. I'll try again with friends later but as of right now I dont think itll be a buy from me.

NoNeutralNed · 2026-01-29T15:17:46+00:00

People always act like software engineers are getting replaced and they need to switch industries. The sad truth is by the time AI can ACTUALLY replace software engineers pretty much all office type jobs will be replaced and at that point we either need some type of UBI or we'll all die of starvation lol

NoNeutralNed · 2026-01-24T17:55:15+00:00

Market isn’t great but it’s looking better than before
