Where Are All the Fun Software Engineer Jobs?

My take is that it's your job as a developer / software engineer to find the the best jobs. Most jobs may be boring, but we are lucky to be in demand as developers so it's relatively easier to find fulfilling jobs (compared to other sectors). For example, I left my semi-boring job as an web+data engineer to create an ML-based crypto trader. Is it easy? No. And I happy with that choice? Hell yeah

Also, most of my relatives / family don't quite understand or approve of that choice, and that's fine. Sometimes you have to be a little daring

That's a good way of looking at it.

I’ve had fun building software for 30+ years. My advice would be to:

1. Find a small place, 2-3 developers. 2. Who make critical software for the business. 3. Frankly, not web software.

I know,this sounds like “Eat what I eat and you’ll be as tall as I am.” but think about it.

I feel like that would be an ideal situation.

I would add: "Ask" to to the title .
