The one who fixes laptops and iphones
"ohh, you can get a job everywhere, they are looking everywhere for programmers".
because they can not understand how deversly different these joblistings are.
i don't know ML, i dont know java, i don't know ...
i wonder how difficult companies make it for themselfes, using too many tools and expecting candidates to know all of them.
They do know I do software development on different projects and that it's complicated, but otherwise they don't understand. When they ask about what I do, I mainly explai what kind of project I work on which is mostly work for various startups. I have friends that are software engineer, computer engineer and robotics engineer that do understand what I do and it's always a pleasure to finally have people to talk about it with.
They think that I’m hacking something especially when I’m working on a new project and there is an old project new project and few windows of vs code 😂
They think that I'm getting paid for sitting there and listening to other people at endless meetings.
Back a few years ago, my father asked me if my job was "just pushing buttons all day". You know he isn't wrong lol.
This is a good question! When I explain what I do I usually say something like "I do coding, sometimes, but mostly I talk to people".
This is of course different depending on what role, type of company and seniority you have. I say code is merely a tool to solve real life problems but that seldom converts into an actual understanding on their side.
Usually they quickly change the subject after this 😂 and I don't blame them!
Almost every phone call with my mom: "your job requires you sitting there all day - so you'll have reading problem & back problem - poor you".
Me: these can happen to literally every office job. lol
hahahahaha! great stuff.. felt super identified when he was watching the video
😆😆😂
They think I'm an entire IT department and can fix all of their IT related problems.
I mean, I do fix their problems, but most of the time, I just do what I always do (aside from moving rectangles around to make a coherent UI of them): I professionally Google the answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They think that it is accomplished using a graphic editor (like figma). Even if some of them know the existence of programming languages (from a past time they graduated from a university) they think that this is no longer necessary, nowadays you just need an app builder.
Wizardry
typing on keyboard
I guess, they understand what I do!
They think it's magic!
