People still acting like we all live in silicon valley and the dot com bubble hasn't bursted twice, software engineering is over as a high impact career, the meta has shifted from solving problems to finding problems.
There are too many smart people in this industry who won't/can't code but act as gatekeeper to valuable problems. My advice is to search out these problems yourself, its a much more challenging problem then any programming.
Or spend two weeks preparing for your technical interview to learn stuff you won't ever use again and then do the bitch work of someones over-engineered vanity project while the plebs are doing "research", "marketing", "design", and "business development".
