I love you man, and Im glad you’re here to set me straight! Also - my comms are even less useful as a software engineer. Hogbutcher is where Im from, not my vocation.
Thankfully, I diverted my path from coding and computing as a profession. I spent way too many hours tracing assembly code back in the 80s, and pouring over the 68000 technical manuals. Was a close call there, but I successfully escaped.
But jumping into years of studying the human OS at the same level might have been worse, in the sense of knowing how the sausage is made leaving one feeling a bit queasy. The ease of 'hacking' humans is why everything is the way it is, with marketing and advertising just being the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, hope you enjoy your software engineering. Cheers.
22 years ago I loved it. Now I despise the industry as a whole and looking for a good way out. I literally cannot muster the constitution to do it anymore. I painted cars for a living for 15 years which was much more rewarding on a daily basis.
It can be done. Good luck!
