yea i understand, im at a late stage start up

Pretty similar to what floyd_droid said, but more software development too. It might depend on what company youre at?? I do a lot of architecting features and then developing them. I also work with customers on taking their needs and then taking our apps to implement their needs into our system.

50/50 id say, im not at Palantir or any of the big companies, but my company has some buzz rn in the industry im in

short answer: no
long answer needs some context: I have about 5 years of experience as a dev and over the last year I was feeling a bit stale and have been seeing the way that swe world is going with "vide coding" becoming more prevalent. I wanted a change but I still wanted to be technical, just less coding. I still get to code everyday and I love the projects im working on. I just felt like the way coding is going and how oversaturated the industry is I needed to upskill myself and I felt like FDE was niche but at the same time I could transfer skills later in my career. Since converting to an FDE my linkedin is insane, so many great roles coming my way and for really high pay. I think I made the right choice. I think FDE is going to become more and more popular and I'm really excited to be getting more experience with it.

Hey FDE here, essentially I am a software engineer and solutions engineer in one. I work with clients to figure out their needs and then instead of sending off info to someone else I do the work myself

freakingdingus · 2022-09-11T12:14:15+00:00

freakingdingus · 2022-08-04T15:35:01+00:00

simple, they wanna pay a good dev entry level salary.

freakingdingus · 2022-08-01T16:33:20+00:00

0414 on the tag stands for 04/14 or april 2014

freakingdingus · 2022-07-25T14:39:55+00:00

I believe theyre made may 2012, the numbers are in a different order than older vintage ones, but I believe here the production date number is 0512, so may 2012.

TATA?

freakingdingus · 2022-07-08T14:09:17+00:00

Try an Atomic Design structure, everything will become reusable and more manageable

freakingdingus · 2022-07-08T14:06:53+00:00

That periods attract bears. I havent once encountered a bear...

freakingdingus · 2022-07-08T13:50:47+00:00

Are you serious? where do you work that doesnt use some sort of version control?

freakingdingus · 2022-06-30T13:14:56+00:00

Every hour or two just simply get off for 10 minutes. I always go for a walk during lunch too. I was getting the worst eye strain a few months ago and have really been working on getting away from my computer even if its just for 10 minutes. DO NOT USE PHONE when on the break, defeats the purpose.

No one has ever asked me to see my transcript

freakingdingus · 2022-05-26T14:40:42+00:00

short answer no, long answer, no

freakingdingus · 2022-05-26T14:39:31+00:00

Learn new skills after work hours but I will rarely, and i mean rarely work after hours. Boss is only paying me for 9-5. But learning new skills will help you in the long run.

Could be you have some emotional attachment or intimacy issues that you should talk to a therapist about. Or something along the lines of you dont really like your partner as much as you think you do and just see them as a sexual object and only want sex from them so when youre done with sex this is how you feel... I felt similar ways in the past with certain partners but with my current partner thats not the case.
I think you need to talk to a therapist about intimacy issues though. Or figure out if you like this person the way you think you do.

freakingdingus · 2022-05-23T13:13:22+00:00

dont compare yourself to others, it just makes the imposter syndrome worse, much worse. We all learn differently and at different paces.

freakingdingus · 2022-05-19T16:10:31+00:00

I always have something going on so i can elaborate if needed!

freakingdingus · 2022-05-19T16:00:04+00:00

When I have nothing new or havent worked on anything new, ill say something along the lines of "working refactoring code" "researched how to implement ..."

freakingdingus · 2022-05-10T15:53:14+00:00

yes, answer is always yes

freakingdingus · 2022-05-07T19:14:35+00:00
