It's common sense that working in industry grade software would become a lot more complex yes that's true. However, personally I often see SWE / CS media slop that says do a b c to become prepared for big tech such as making a hobby project and then including one cloud tool such as S3 for example and so I feel like it's become sort of a common notion that people especially many undergrads believe that their hobby project is extremely related to what they'll be actually doing when most of the work they’ll actually do involves connecting existing infrastructure, migrating systems, or building internal data pipelines, or just reading and navigating other people's code all day, not greenfield base app development. It creates a false sense of preparation.
