> There may be many "engineers", but they are not really dedicated to their field.
What qualifies you to decide someone isn’t “dedicated” enough?
What qualifies you to decide someone isn’t “dedicated” enough?
All the top devs I know have had to put the hours in. Same as all the top lawyers and all the top engineers.
If you can be in the top 5-10% of your field while never working more than a 40 hour week and no side projects or out of hours study then more power to you.
But that's rare.
When I was, arguably, in the top 5% I was working 45-50 hours a week at a great job and doing 2 hours a day self study on top.
It takes a lot of sacrifice to make it to the top.
Should I be allowed to study while you enjoy your Valentines Day? Then I might just get ahead of you.
Luckily for us in tech you can make good money without being in the top 5-10%.
