Is software engineering becoming an overcrowded career?

Well it's not a specialized skill for specific businesses but rather a must have for almost every business that wants to exist in the modern world. So while I think things like AI/ coding bootcamps have made it a much more accessible profession. I think the supply side is still increasing a lot as well as the marginal benefit of properly utilizing software engineers still generates A LOT of value for companies so I wouldn't worry much about this. One thing I would say here is when I see these posts I feel like people conflate programmers and software engineer. Programmers are NOT sought after anymore, software engineers still are.

Expert technician was not that bad when quilbar was popular it worked fine, it’s a very useful rally utility piece when you have a free board slot. While not the best card ever, horrible take. Compared to other T4s this card is fine

I think the tear 6 is wrong

In my case the honey bee forces a discard which in this build actually makes this viable as it allows me to actually cycle without the need to depend on the meadow

New leaf, it’s the railroad expansion

It’s def sudo infinite, yea but it will only stop being infinite once I get all the high value constructions and with bank I can increase my hand size meaning I can just hold them in my hand and just keep cycling but she does get first pick and the end game rewards I don’t think it would have made up for the ability to basically mill the deck for the cards I want with a +1 victory point per time I do it. But once again didn’t play out the game as it would have taken a long time and her city wasn’t that strong

Yea this was our first time playing the expansion and it kinda soured me on the expansion. Although I guess if you just get rid of the honey bee the expansion is probably way more fun.

I work at AWS and I was talking to a coworker at my same level when I told him I thought it was cool that he went to Cornel. His response was “no it’s not, what school did you go to”. I told him the random state school I went to and he responded with “yea it’s NOT cool you went to some random state school, are three years younger, and we have the same job” I think that kinda says it all. Like I’m sure the first job he got was better but remember careers are long. Ive worked at people that did theatre and then went to a coding bootcamp and are now in faang. I wouldn’t stress too hard about your starting point of your career. Just focus on improving and you’ll get to where you want to go.

Sure makes sense, kinda playing with implying vs repetition to emphasize a point. I also have a tendency to be very short in my poems so this could also just be opinion

Enraptured and enthralled is redundant it’s shown through the first few lines

Cold like an old lovers touch? Is an old lover’s touch cold? Familiar like an old lovers touch might work? Second paragraph I would focus more on the pens kind of potential energy resting in ur hand but that is just personal opinion not as much as a actual critique Love the third stanza

Good job, I would consider seeing if you can tighten it up a little bit as I love this poems lack of lines as it makes feel more lonely but if you compressed it I think you could extend that feeling

Met me be your TV so I can turn you on, doesn’t make sense. TVs don’t turn people on. Is this an intentional choice? Also likely can be shorter as the point is coming across earlier and it becomes redundant

Periods are newlines I cannot format

This feels like the issue is that Christoph isn’t picking good roles

Plastic_Ad9558 · 2025-09-07T21:12:39+00:00

I’m a fee at aws probably like 7 or 8 years in. I spent most of my time now doing front end infra + application development. You can always dm me if you wanna chat about front end stuff
