This is a very frequent experience for me when I think about writing any computer program. Passed all my algorithms and data structures with flying colours. Did some projects that were easy to start back when I knew fewer languages. Did some projects that had to be done in certain platforms for compatibility with existing software. Now new projects are hard to start. Maybe I should learn to use AI to transliterate programs and it wouldn't feel like it mattered as much?
replyAnd now I'm in the real world where you can do almost anything. It's not just software platforms that are the problem. Should I apply for jobs? Definitely. Which jobs? And what about the other paths? Should I also write some SaaS and hope I get acquihired? Which one? In which platform? Should I learn how government contracts work? Probably can't get one as an individual, but should I learn about them anyway? Should I pay the fees to found a company, even though it's just me and doesn't have a business plan, to look more legitimate to potential customers for the thing I don't even know yet?
I never thought about this and now I see that I had all these questions too. Thanks for making that clear.
replyThe useful question when evaluating a developer service is not what it claims but what evidence exists that an ordinary caller completed the job.
