    My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it’s a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

    This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.

    The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

      Hit me up if you want a job where you’ll be forced to learn about inter-satellite laser links (free space optics)!

          unfortunately definitely not.

          my team has a strong emphasis on working with hardware. remote work doesn’t really make sense
