Is Software Engineering a Good Job in 2023?
2025.01.19 14:01 aznpersuazion Is Software Engineering a Good Job in 2023?
To preface this post, I want to give the disclaimer that like many things, there is not a black and white answer the question. I'm writing this as an experienced tech professional, and the information provided is based on opinion.
To start with. A little bit of history..
The golden age of software engineering(and similar jobs) is over. At least for the next 5 - 10 years. I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. The reason why between the years of 2010 - 2022, these jobs exploded, was because of the boom of the internet for commercial and personal use.
This is different from the dotcom boom of 2000s, where the internet was just starting and most of the products being created were for basic things like: putting banking on the internet, putting videos on the internet, etc.
The boom in the 2010s was related to the widespread popularity of commercial and personal products. Things like Uber, Spotify, and Salesforce. With the sudden increased usage of the digital world, there were MILLIONS of companies rushing to create digital products.
However, we're starting to see the rise and fall of some of these products, millions of startups failings, and less VC funding. In case you don't know, VC stands for Venture Capital, which are basically investment companies that give money to other companies to help them grow and develop, in return for partial ownership of the company.
As the industry began to mature, successful companies started to emerge, and many more started to fail.
The present day..
Software engineering and like jobs will continue to be important, and there will be a high demands for these engineers. Nearly every company will still need a website, a place to manage their data, and people to manage their hardware. BUT.. the basic technologies they need to run their company will become more efficient. AND there will be less research and innovation because the a lot of the trial and error already occurred.
We're in a weird spot where the demand for workers is now decreasing from it's recent peaks, and the supply of workers is now increasing because of how all the benefits of being a software engineer in the past decade.
This has really unfortunate consequences for any recent graduates or others trying to break into the tech field. There are WAY more beginning career people than jobs available. Which is made even worse with the amount of layoffs there are, where mid-level employees are now having to settle for entry level jobs.
What can we do?
I have two pieces of advice for people interested in the topic, or wanting to break into the field but can't. Try breaking in from a adjacent field, where you can get some exposure to tech. Things that data entry, analytics(this can be finance, supply chain etc). Then try to learn as much as you can from the tech people at your company.
The second piece of advice. Go into a different field. Software engineering is not for everyone. You have to learn and understand some relatively complex topics, and it's becoming harder and harder to be competitive in the industry. Healthcare, supply chain, and many other industries are booming right now.
Understanding history, you can see that certain industries will rise and fall. For the near future, technology might be one of the harder careers to break into. Something like healthcare would be that's expected to grow exponentially. The average population of the world is getting older, as less and less people are wanting to have kids. There will be higher demand for healthcare professionals and healthcare technology.
Do your best to review and understand these trends, and hopefully you can create a good life and career. Best of luck!

2025.01.19 14:01 aznpersuazion My Top 5 Restaurants in South Florida/Miami Area..
Wanted to share my top 5 recommendation list. Having lived here for about 30 years, here are the best spots to visit, whether you're traveling or a local. I've included a range of options from cheap eats to fine dining.
- Chef Tally's - I've binge eaten at least 50+ jamaican restaurants, and while this isn't your typical traditional jamaican spot, this is hands down one of my favorite places in south Florida. I dream about the chicken here. It's always a candidate for my "what should I eat this weekend" thoughts.
- Mila Sunday Brunch - $95 for all you can eat cinco jota jamon iberico, black caviar, and a ton of other creatively prepared dishes. I've had a few of the other brunchs in south florida, like edge, novikov, etc. but this one gets the thumbs up because they actually have more unique spreads and appetizers. Pro tip, they have a cheese wheel pasta and mojito station outside. Did I mention the price includes unlimited champagne and rose?
- Palacio de los Jugos - this is a staple of south florida cuisine. I might get some flack for having this on my list, but amongst all the cuban and latin spots I've been to across Hialeah and Miami, I always find myself back here grabbing a meal for like $7 and juice for $3!
- Stubborn Seed - I haven't gone since they've gotten their Michelin Star, but I used to frequent this place. What sets the tasting menu at stubborn seed apart in my opinion is the almagamation of dish pacing, food sourcing/creativity, and lineup of ingredients. I don't think there's a singular dish that really sets this restaurant apart from the rest of the modern fine dining options, but more so a extremely well presented and curated dining experience.
- Anita Gelato. This spot recently opened in Aventura coming from NYC. It's not a super traditional italian/argentiniam gelato, but the flavor combinations are the best I've ever had. And it's not too sweet. My favorite ice cream/froyo/gelato spot amongst the hundreds I've been to in SoFlo.

2025.01.19 14:01 ginosapiens Why dudes try to stay in contact?
I don't know why but I identified a behaviour in some guys who passed in my life and is the same with men in my friends lifes... I explain: I dated with a man, all started just having funny (sex and share time) but I started feeling more then I told him what I was feeling, I changed my mind and I ask him for the possibility to have a relationship and he rejected me, that was painful but I guess I understood (cause I "broke" the pact that we did at the beginning, although we were conscious that thing would can change) . But six months later he try to still in contact again for what? It's not a sincere contact, he wants to have me as an eternal option and that bothers me a lot. Why do they do that? And it's the same with woman? Why just not leave in peace the other person?? Is so annoying

2025.01.19 14:01 HavSomLov4YoBrothr The flamethrower is fkn sick
Finally unlocked the flamethrower class. The range is ass, and it screams “HERE I AM” just like an MG42, but damn is it fun to use.
The range is close but it’s not meant to be more than that. I just got up to a wall outside a building on Foy with an enemy machine gunner on the 2nd floor spraying my guys down.
I lit up the windows then pushed into the house and killed EVERYBODY with haste. It was wild. Never done that in this game without a PPSH drum mag or an MG hip firing in my hand. This flamethrower is something else when used as intended

2025.01.19 14:01 sgrantham12345 Back-up physical key or NFC card outside Santa Fe.
I am now the proud owner of a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid FWD (wow that's a lot to type each time) thanks to our friendly broker and helpful advice giver on this channel u/jfronte (appreciate your assist, James - you were awesome to work with!). I've had it for 600 miles now and still trying to work out "new owner" avalanche of new gidgets/gadgets and knobs who's functions I'm still unsure of. The user manual is ~700 pages but it IS very helpful in PDF to search! :-) OK - so here's my question - I've been leaving my physical key at home this week (I don't like it's size coming from a Honda Odyssey key that was much smallecompact). Plan to continue this for simple/local trips and only bring the physical key on long trips. LOVE LOVE the iPhone digital key and it's been working flawlessly so far. I plan to pick-up a NFC key card as well (local dealer has it for $45+10% off coupon) next week so use with PIN for valet/wife as needed. All this digital tech makes me a bit nervous that I'll get stranded someday/sometime when I least expect it so was thinking about stashing the NFC card and/or the mechanical key (that little silveflat doodad that will open driver's side door through the hidden cover). Has anyone already done this and do you have suggestions on WHERE to hide? I can buy one of those magnetic hide-a-key boxes, I guess?
And any/all suggestions/ideas on using digital key 2 are welcome - I'm new to all this car tech coming from DadVan Life for 11 years. :-)

2025.01.19 14:01 No_Transportation353 How do I prevent ink bleeding?
Hi all, relatively new to the hobby. I've had neat fountain pen that I love for few years when I tried to get into fountain pens but the ink always bleeds and my lines get thick and ugly when I try to draw. I know there's like three factors that go into ink bleed, like the ink itself, paper, and pen nibs. Out of those three things I just want to know what stuff I need to make lines that will barely bleed and get all blotty. Thank you all.

2025.01.19 14:01 b0nkk we need new political parties and new political parties regulations
political parties must include members from different sects, it should be based on political views for the whole nation and truly reflect that. political parties must elect their leadership in a democratic way and be transparent. i think the 1st step toward eliminating sectarianism is forming a new generation of political parties that brings people from different sects that share the same goals and not the way other way around. whats your thoughts ?
