Hey , there's something I've got to get off my chest.
We've got to change the way we talk about computer science!
Lots of videos make it seem like being a software engineer is an easy job.
These unrealistic expectations might be setting you up for failure.
And that's exactly what inspired this video:
👀 Here's the truth:
- These jobs are competitive to get
- Even after getting the job, you are evaluated frequently.
- Getting promoted requires you to continually add new skills.
My goal with the Coding for Zoomers newsletter is to always keep it 💯, and provide a realistic look at software engineering.
BTW, in case you didn't know, I have a Discord server where I discuss tech and answer coding questions: https://discord.gg/KdvEr8N7yM
See you next week,
Tobe Osakwe
