I see myself as a Full Stack Developer and plan to stick with this career path for now as I enjoy working on the frontend, backend and on mobile.

My current job title is "Co-CEO", and there are a lot of perks to this situation, but it's hard not to be envious of folks who get to contribute to software development with slightly lower stakes.
I have no plans to change any time soon, but in the future if I ever find myself moved on from this role, I could see myself seeking out something along the lines of "Principle Software Engineer" and try to organize myself to mostly deal with technical problems throughout my day.
I feel passion and determination towards the code in this.
That probably explains your competency in the field best and justify the career success as the result of it. I assume the business knowledge is completely different field and obviously, when paired with solid coding knowledge, can do wonders as you and Jess have shown. Thanks for the platform! β€π
Currently, I am an Android Software Engineer, I want to improve my Android knowledge as much as possible and get iOS knowledge more than just a few tutorials. So I aspire to be a Mobile Software Engineer, that can efficiently develop natively on both platforms.
Cool and would do you think would be the most ideal tech stack for creating mobile apps in the future? Native like Kotlin and Swift. Or using something like Dart and Flutter?
I have tried Flutter, but I didn't have time to dive deeper into it. But in my opinion, native will always be the way to go at least in the next 3-5 years, because I have talked with a couple of senior mobile engineers who actually worked with cross-platform, React Native in particular, and they said it works fine in 90% of the time, and for the rest 10% you are losing a lot of time and resources and in some particular case, there might not even be a solution.
My actual job title is "Full-Stack Developer." However, you always tend to stick to one side never working true full-stack, and I tend to stick towards the backend side. It is basically like I am a backend developer that will occasionally pick up a small frontend task.
Role says Analyst Programmer, but pretty much code whatever is needed except for DB management. In short term I aspire to be a proper software engineer i.e design plan document and execute solutions. In the long run, become a CTO may be!!
Thats unfortunate I don't know how some companies can give you a sales pitch about "career progression" but then give you no option for training to meet that goal.
Right now I am a React Native Developer, and I want to be a back-end or full-stack developer, I mean RN is good but I feel myself in another stack, I hope I can do this shift early in my life, I am studying and learning every day a new thing.
What is it like developing mobile apps using React Native? Would you prefer to use native programming languages like Swift and Java/Kotlin instead?
Ok, after +2 years of experience using RN to develop mobile apps and working on multiple apps from different domains and with a different scale, I can tell you RN is a very reliable framework and RN team at Facebook is doing a great job making it more reliable and efficient to carry much larger scale projects.
The community behind it is amazing, and there are huge contributions from so many devs.
But I need to shift to back-end as it was my passion, I worked as RN developer as a temporary job and I knew that It will be hard to back to learn and continue my career as back-end dev, I know it seems a little bit a lost, but I am trying my best!
Thank you for giving me the time to say that :)
My current title is CSO / CISO at my company it sounds fancy but we are a startup and i'm the one with security background.
I do try to get more into my role by writing documents for security best practices, action plans in case of breaches and more.
However I would aspire to be in a red team.
What is a "red team" for you?
Having a team where we can focus on pen-testing and security research and building security tools as a full time work.
My current position is UI Engineer/Dev Lead. I really enjoy coding, but after almost 15 years coding, tbh I don't think I can do it all the time. I'd like to move a little bit away from the programming part (still build things as a hobby) and focus on leading/managing.
I did the management route for a few years after being in technical positions for many years, I found I'd much rather deal with technical issues than managing people issues. Just something to think about, depending if you like people drama or not.
At least we have that "backup": the technical path will be there, and I love it... But I'd like to try something different and, after having some bad managers in the past, try to "do better". Maybe I'm too idealistic.
Greetings, I am a data science / data engineering. I use programming language like python, C#, C++, vuejs and Nuxt.js for UI testing. I like processing data and getting insights although sometimes you just need to observe the data and that's it. I want to be a researcher on audio processing and ML applied on multidisciplinary research like psychology, music and geoinformatics.
"Senior Software Developer Fullstack/Frontend, After-Sales Care" Lots of words to say I mostly do React for a customer area and occasionally help out with the Java backend.
Beats "Lead Developer IT-Operations", which was an 80%-management role with glorified DevOps duties on a bunch of messy PHP applications. It was basically "do everything at once but also delegate".
What I'd like to do? What the Lead Developer role was pitched to me as: Fullstack Software Architecture and Project Management.
