Talked to a lot of engineers who are in the profession not because they actually like the work, but because it pays $$$. Wanted to open it up to the community to see where people stand.
How the fuck software engineering and doing leetcode for fun fit into one category?
Can you truly call yourself a devout engineer if you dont leetcode all day erryday (and enjoy it too)? /s
Yeah I’d rather solve real problems
I love it but don’t leetcode
Yeah I selected the first answer but I’ve never once “leet coded”
I really do like software engineering but no I don’t like leetcode
Missing option: like/love it, but spend enough time doing it at work, so not going to do leetcode as a hobby.
I love it when it mostly works - I hate it when I’m banging my head against the wall over something stupid.
Hmm.. try this next time: Code.FuckedUp And do something like maybe //Code.FuckedUp So far so good
That code looks like crushed up animal feet. This is shit.
Not that passionate about it. It's ok.
@uncle_rich most engineers we work with are bad and aren’t representative of good engineers
But I thought we’re a real tech company and we only hire top talent. JKJK. In all seriousness though, I have met a good number of talented (and passionate) engineers at C1, they just aren’t the norm. And...most of them choose to exit the company at some point.
They aren’t the norm and I pray for the day I can join them on the way out some day soon . Tired of working with mediocre people
Solving problems you care about it fun. Dealing with people who don't share your passion starts taking a toll on you over time.
Sitting at a computer looking at code all day is not my favorite. But I’m not nearly as good at anything else that pays so well
Yes. But SOME people don't appreciate that passion and teamwork and will prevent you from making software
