yeah the real money is always in regular tech and support stuff, too much demand in gaming drives down wages

2019-03-01 20:57:51 UTC  

Data structures is where the real important stuff is.

2019-03-01 20:58:05 UTC  

learning a programming language after your first is trivial

2019-03-01 20:58:26 UTC  

especially if its the same programming paradigm

2019-03-01 20:58:41 UTC  

I learned Actionscript back in the day....

2019-03-01 20:58:46 UTC  

really thought that'd pay off

2019-03-01 20:58:47 UTC  

SE work depends heavily on where you are and who you're working for. It does feel somewhat undervalued though

2019-03-01 20:58:50 UTC  

😄

2019-03-01 20:59:03 UTC

I did love Flash though, such a shame it died out

2019-03-01 20:59:51 UTC  

thats why its important to network beemann

2019-03-01 20:59:59 UTC  

yeah, there were some crazy talented people in my program that actually went into game development. The rest of us went elsewhere in the tech industry

2019-03-01 21:00:19 UTC  

like, I know one guy that ended up being an assistant producer at bungie. He's still there, afaik

2019-03-01 21:01:33 UTC  

i have friends who want to get into it that are working on transfering. imo the money is garbage and not worth it

2019-03-01 21:01:42 UTC  

i'm right in that middle ground art/programming side of things strictly design basically useless outside of that specific sphere

2019-03-01 21:01:49 UTC  

lowest paid software devs

2019-03-01 21:02:06 UTC  

right next to lower end web devs

2019-03-01 21:02:15 UTC  

there are still web devs?

2019-03-01 21:02:19 UTC  

yup

2019-03-01 21:02:24 UTC  

I thought they all got outsourced to pakistan

2019-03-01 21:02:28 UTC  

they call them "full stack" now

2019-03-01 21:02:39 UTC  

aka they do EVERYTHING now for the same pay

2019-03-01 21:02:56 UTC  

customer facing and backend

2019-03-01 21:03:08 UTC  

i dont want to get into that either lol, for the same reasons

2019-03-01 21:03:14 UTC  

yeah pretty much how it was when I was learning you HAD to know HTML, Javascript, asp, CSS,PHP...

2019-03-01 21:03:17 UTC  

systems/applications is where its at

2019-03-01 21:03:21 UTC

2019-03-01 21:03:32 UTC  

oh and photoshop

2019-03-01 21:03:41 UTC  

yup yup

2019-03-01 21:04:05 UTC

2019-03-01 21:04:16 UTC  

oh hey, speaking of Captain Marvel and stupidity

2019-03-01 21:04:25 UTC  

NEVER ENOUGH FOR THEM

2019-03-01 21:04:29 UTC

2019-03-01 21:04:29 UTC

2019-03-01 21:04:45 UTC  

I think I'm onto something with the #CaptainUbermench idea

2019-03-01 21:04:46 UTC  

(daily dot's left leaning, correct?)

2019-03-01 21:04:57 UTC
