Full Stack JS developer with a good understanding of embedded devices. I'm a polyglot developer with huge appreciation of clean code and solid principles. Interests are web tech, cloud and embedded.
When asked the following in a meeting you have just joined:
"So what is the solution for X"
I think this adequately applied to when I was a developer as well as solutions architect. I dislike listing the many options available and sounding like I can't decide which is best like that.
Picking the right solution needs an understanding of multiple views/facets and randomly being asked in meetings is cringe.
That they are supposed to be coding monkeys. There's a whole non-technical side of software development that is usually forgotten (ex. understanding the impact of the work on the business or product's users)
The biggest misconception I have come across is that — software development is easy.
This is especially said and implied by seniors in our industry who have 10000+ hours under their belt. They keep forgetting their origins...
He/Him; Senior Software Developer, IT Swiss-army-knife.
Lots of coding, some hardware, some devops & sysops, some micro-controller electronics.
I used Arch BTW :)
That we don't know or care much about hardware, network, infrastructure or security concerns. (This coming mostly from people just focused on those areas)

Or, worse yet, diagnosing printer driver problems anywhere. It involves a lot of dark magic that I prefer not to defile myself with, haha.
(Props to anyone who CAN do this!)
That the job is "paid to google things". Sadly from an opinion coming from "senior engineers" too
Those who know JavaScript know Java
This ^ lol

that people don't believe that after working I'm tired because software development is not a physical work ;------;
I'm constantly exercising my brain! It gets tired DX
