    To all developers here: have you noticed that there is literally no interesting blogs/ write-ups about software? It always bugged me. So much for “professional network” lol

    Pretty all technical conversation are on “python for dummies” level

      I’ve found deeper conversations but they tend to be on super niche topics, and if it’s anything you’re actually familiar with you’ll discover that 90% of the comments are people who don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about but enjoy presenting as knowledgable.

      HackerNews might have more of what you’re looking for, but be warned: nearly everyone on that site is in love with the idea that they are intelligent enough to speak authoratatively on all topics (they are definitively not), and the general culture is that the crazy reality distortion zone of the San Francisco Bay Area/working for startups/working for bug names like Google is an accurate reflection of general reality (it is not).

      That’s a large part of the reason why I got my degree yet work in a completely different industry. There’s nothing to captivate my interest except my own work or other people’s projects.

      That and “fuck computers.”

        What, there’s loads of interesting blogs. Of course you may not find them interesting but that’s kind of on you.

        I actually got my degree in business and work as a developer … for almost a decade now. I always find something interesting somewhere, the whole field is infinitely large. I think, if you wanted to captivate your interest, you would be able to!
