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:

1. These jobs are competitive to get
2. Even after getting the job, you are evaluated frequently.
3. 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,
