Professional Technology Switch Question - Lemmy.World
Hello everyone, I am a developer with 3+ years of experience with full stack
technology so mostly .Net and React along with some side projects in other
languages. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any luck moving from high-end
projects, to lower end projects(C++). I’ve become extremely interested in lower
level projects like, embedded programming, firmware, drivers, compatibility
layers but I don’t have any professional experience in those fields. I
understand that projects like these are high priority so they are less
interested in taking a risk for a Dev without professional experience in C, C++,
or Rust, even if they liked the candidate. I just wanted some insight
I am once again asking for SWE Career advice

I am once again asking for SWE Career advice - Lemmy.World
Long story short. Im a SWE with 2 years of experience, I quit my last job and
during my search, I was given 3 job offers. I picked the largest, most safe
company, which happens to be a financial institute. Just wanted to be here to
ride out this tech storm and use some giant corp resources. I was expecting it
to be slow and not a tech company that I’m used to. I was honestly looking
forward to it because in my experience, friends who work for companies like that
are given a lot of time and resources to grow their technical knowledge. I was
looking forward to being given time to learn some DevOps, maybe getting a cert
in machine learning, but this isn’t the case. Turns out this is the RPA
department, which I thought was just the automation department, but is actually
just a UiPath fan club. The work is dumb easy, and I know I can do this with my
eyes closed, but it’s so boring, and I’m not really getting the technical growth
that I was hoping for. Not to mention, this company is way less flexible than I
thought. Full on site, business formal, not many people my age are working
there, and I hardly get holidays off. Im asking for advice on how to handle
this, I admit I may be trying to rock the boat too early but some of these
processes involve going through Excel files which can take these bots 10s of
minutes, which can be done instantly in any scripting language. I just feel like
I’m betraying myself a bit working like that. If I stick around here for 6
months, will it negatively affect my getting a new job in software with equal or
more pay?
MW3(new) doesn’t seem as bad as people say

MW3(new) doesn’t seem as bad as people say - Lemmy.World
I’m a pc guy but came from console, so I haven’t play cod in years. I’m way
more excited for CS2 but I got the new COD to play with some friends. I know
people talk about how awful it is but I’m actually enjoying the gameplay. My
biggest gripe rn is the UI. I can’t figure out how anything works but sitting
down and getting a kill every 2 min is classic COD and pretty fun
Software devs, I need advice - Lemmy.World
Will taking a job in one sector set my career path Hey I’ve been pretty luck
last week and I managed to get 2 job offers. One is a good gig at a massive, old
school financial group. I’m talking I have to wear a suit and tie. My biggest
worry though is the tech is old and my coworkers and higher ups don’t seem
bleeding edge so I doubt I’ll be flexing my developer muscles. Plus they have a
volleyball intramural league The other company is contracted for 6 months with a
really cool tech IoT company. Job through Insight Global, Full remote, Has
amazing Glassdoor reviews, cool projects, I crushed their technical interview so
I feel like I can actually contribute. I’m leaning towards the financial group
because money matters and I want to feel secure. What I’m worried about is after
2 years I’ll be 27 and I’m scared that working as a SWE for a financial group
won’t look as good so I’ll never be able to work on a project that I’m
passionate about again Any advice?

Is it actually possible to change your personality

Is it actually possible to change your personality - Lemmy.World
This isn’t meant to be a negative post. I wanted to tweak how I handle some
things and have gotten better but I it made me think. Could you turn someone 360
completely? Like from a freak to a mighty, a chad to a chud, a person to a
stealers fan?
FPS gripe - Lemmy.world
I used to be a console gamer. Bo2 on the Xbox 360 was my favorite game of all
time. I moved to csgo, once I got a pc. My gripe with fps games on the deck is
it doesn’t feel like a console fps, it feels like a pc game. I obviously
understand why but I wish I could think of a way to change that. The controls
just feel awful to me
M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof - Lemmy.world
Left my swe job to finish my degree and other reasons. I was using a company M1
MBP 16Gb and loved it, I was wondering if I buy a used one or get a m2
equivalent. Is the M1 dull future proof?
