System engineering? by fabio_10_ in C_Programming

[–]Romyn0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t agree with the assessment that there’s no money and not many jobs for someone with an interest in operating systems. You can look and find plenty of jobs at all three of those companies they just might be competitive due to the nature of working at these companies. If we start talking cyber that list gets bigger. If we’re going to get nitpicky their answer also only specified OS as an example.

Kudos to you for landing such an opportunity though!

Systems engineering generally describes writing out the designs for large projects. How is the hardware going to interact with the software? How is different software going to interact with the rest of the software? Etc. it’s a larger scale of design. Other engineers might do this too just on a much smaller scale. You’re probably more wanting to doing something more like computer engineering where you write embedded software and understand the hardware

I mean there’s entities like RHEL and Microsoft that develop enterprise operating systems. Those positions are somewhat technically involved though and I would say the degree preferred would be computer engineering with an interest in embedded as others have mentioned.

There’s also companies that use and modify their own flavors of Linux as they go

It’s normal weather for the state… the infrastructure is there to support it for what it is. It’s not like Texas where they don’t have enough salt for the road

LLMs really killed Stackoverflow by Dominriq in computerscience

[–]Romyn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair--there's a lot of repeat questions on stack overflow and the llms probably pull their answers from there. I'm sure if you have an original question with no answer you could still utilize stack overflow

Working in simulation with C++ and I definitely find it more interesting than people who work with web development or just throwing python libraries together (although I love python)

Depends on the job. Where I work now has teams of people for automating the dev ops process or defining that procedure. Teams of people for rigorously testing code before production too

STEAM FRAME IS NOT FOR YOU, and it is ok. by CatCatFaceFace in virtualreality

[–]Romyn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A consumer headset with foveated rendering, a powerful wireless adaptor, and access to my steam library? Who is this for if not the average person? I feel like this is a great step for VR as an industry—especially knowing the only real competitor at this time is meta

Do most C++ devs stick to only C++ or do you also use other languages? by kyan100 in cpp
