What’s your favorite part of being a software engineer? I love that it keeps my brain and logical thinking muscles toned and it provides me a comfortable life both in compensation and flexibility.

I love that most SE jobs I find are remote. Which allows me to work two jobs at a time and double my income.

Being able to juggle two successfully isn’t easy, especially when meeting blocks collide

I enjoy how fast things change. I can't imagine a job where I am using the same tools and doing the exact same things over and over again for 50 years. I need to feel like there is always something to learn.

That’s an awesome reason to love it!

I love having Claude code do all my work

Not gonna lie I have been able to get more done and offload busy work to AI is super clutch

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).
