What is something that surprised you about working as a software engineer?

That it is all people, all the way down. They are as cute as turtles, but don’t have hard shells.

That working in IT is just this: Solving algorithmic problems is by far easier than solving people problems. While you learn the first in shool, you have to learn the latter at work - the hard way.
