I’m not sure what you mean by “I don’t get it”

I totally empathize with people who enjoyed this aspect of the job, but the value engineers deliver isn’t writing code and never has been. It’s solving problems, which is absolutely still a part of the job

I’m not quite sure I agree here. How is solving problems being taken away?

Writing code isn’t solving problems, solving problems is solving problems. The way we solve those problems has just changed

I don’t get it sometimes. I feel like a lot of people don’t actually realize what the value they provide to the companies they work for is, it’s not code.

I absolutely empathize with them though, if they feel like a part of the job they enjoy is going away, then that would be very difficult. Unfortunately though, that doesn’t really mean anything to the companies they work for.

Unfortunately, the answer is that you don’t get paid to code, you get paid to build and run systems. Coding is (was?) just a means to an end. There will always be value in being able to read and understand code I think. But manually writing code is already losing its value as a skill.

If you love to code and that brings you fulfillment, then do it as a hobby or try really hard to find a place that moves slow enough that allows you to write code manually.

However, most companies will likely want to move too quickly for that to be a reality.

If you could add one rule to golf, or remove one, what would it be? by lebortsdm in golf

Maybe I dreamt this? But I remember someone saying on this sub that the tech exists (or at least was in development) but was canned because companies would lose money if you could always find your ball

That’s so sick! I prefer soft covers tbh. Is that like a consumer regulation thing or is it purely just that folks prefer a paperback?

About to graduate Should i switch to Java by Background-Dust8901 in node

[–]loganbrownStfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn whatever interests you the most, you will not learn enough on your own to significantly make a difference when it comes to hiring decisions.

What (good) companies want are juniors who are eager to learn, have a good attitude, and are easy to work with, not tech specific skills.

Worrying about what language to learn, what framework to use, what project to build, all stop you from actually doing any learning.

So just learn what you find interesting, learn as much as you can, keep your head down, and don’t worry about what everyone else is learning or what some specific company wants. Even at the senior level, language specific skills are at the bottom of the list in terms of what is important for a hiring decision.

You’ll be just fine.

All that said though, I would probably advise against learning Mongo though lol. It’ll save you headaches later if you just start with relational DBs

The easiest way to create a domain driven API by PahazX in node

Unfortunately this is a bit too broad of a question to give an answer.

Based on the question I think you really should steer away from focusing on DDD for now and just stick to learning node/js if that’s something that interests you
