UnverifiedThe old software engineer growth path was: learn a programming language, grind data structures and algorithms, build a few projects, then land an offer.80% similarUnverifiedDevelopers at different stages have different sources of motivation for sticking with writing code: beginners often need external incentives, developers with some experience tend more toward intrinsic drive, and professional developers may maintain their pace through project deadlines and team collaboration.79% similarVerifiedThe core value of software engineers will shift from writing code to upstream decision-making work such as requirements understanding, architecture design, and system trade-off analysis.78% similarUnverifiedSenior engineers can explain systems because they once implemented them by hand, whereas junior engineers are expected to generate code rather than write it themselves, making it difficult for them to truly understand system architecture77% similarUnverifiedThis developer participated in the discussion as a junior full-stack developer, illustrating a trend: the new generation of developers faces the boundary issues of human-machine collaboration from early in their careers.76% similar
