I’ve always been curious as to what “normal” people think programming is like. The wildest theory I’ve heard is “typing ones and zeroes” (I’m a software engineer)

    When I was an associate level all I did was grind out tickets and write code. Now I run from meeting to meeting as a senior.

      That’s no fucking joke. Please just send me an email about this meeting because it’s not really worthwhile and I just want to crank out code.

      As a principal, I default ignore all meetings that’s more then 2 people, review other people’s terrible code, then refactor large swaths of the code base when I get bored.
