ut don\u2019t lose sight of reality while being charmed by our culture\u2019s Silicon Valley romance. This field is not a get-out-of-debt-free card. You have to take the time to build your understanding of the field. You have to become comfortable with the fact that you are a problem-solver and not simply a \u201cfill-in-framework-here\u201d developer. You also must get used to the idea that at any moment you might need to learn a new framework or language, and that you will have to fight for a job if you don\u2019t have formalized credentials.<\/p>\n
Software engineering is a lucrative field, but the transformation from \u201ccoder\u201d to \u201cengineer\u201d is challenging.<\/p>\n
If you stick to it, you can not only change your life, but change your entire way of thinking”<\/p>\n
