It’s also easier to be a software developer now than 10 years ago. Modern languages do a lot more of the work for you.

Well, the barrier to entry is lower anyway.

Software also seems to be more complex than it was 10 years ago

[–] DeadlineX@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah software is definitely more complex. But modern languages are easier and have more syntactic sugar. And being a junior dev is mostly boiler plating or copy and pasting. A lot of devs don’t even get into the real complicated stuff. I’m a mediocre dev with no degree and I’m constantly surprised at the terminology people who’ve been doing for years don’t understand.
