Water Blowater on Nostr: How are all other developers able to ship features so quickly while I can’t even ...
How are all other developers able to ship features so quickly while I can’t even ship a simple feature for 2 weeks? I reflect on this a lot recently. Silicon Valley is overrated. Most of us find a job in the valley not because we are good engineers, but because we are gold diggers. The fiat game of the past few decades have made the valley so rich that a new grad can earn 150K a year. Now with the global economy slowing down in terms of fiat, massive layoffs are taking places. Many fake software engineers will never find a job with such high paying for the rest of their life, which might actually be a good thing for the world. We don’t need so many fake engineers to build products to pollute people anymore. Enough is enough. I have learned more about software engineering in the 4 months of Nostr development than the past 4 years of my so called Silicon Valley big tech career. Ironic! I might just be another fake engineer! But no, I refuse to be a fake engineer. I’m going to solve real problems and get shit done. I am here to have fun and have freedom of engineering!
