5 Myths About Being a Software Developer

If you’ve been watching my channel for a while, you know that I’ve been working as a software engineer for about 2 years now. I graduated in May of 2018 and been working since that summer. Before starting this job, there were a lot of misconceptions and myths of software engineering that I would read or hear about through the grapevine that I believed but now since I’ve been working, I can use some of my personal experience to put a couple of those myths to rest so here are the 5 myths about being a software developer. Enjoy!
••••••••••••••••••••••••
About me:
I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley. I'm about a year out from college where I graduated with a degree in Computer Science. This channel is all about helping people who want to know more about software engineering or computer science and for me to be a helping hand in any way I can.

Hey hey! What would you recommend for someone who wants to transition from Software Automation Testing with 2 years of experience to DevOPs. Thanks Gurl

[@raba650]

How long did it take you to realize you wanted to pursue a masters? And for the video that you made about your salary and how you allocate it, was that salary your starting salary? Thanks.

[@heysosathedev]

I knew a couple months after graduating from undergrad. I moved to the Bay and became friends with someone who was doing their Masters in CS. Then I started to do some research on my own and kinda started to miss the academic structure of being in school. I also knew that I had a lot of knowledge gaps from undergrad that I wanted to fill. And the salary that I mentioned in that video was not my starting salary. I recieved 2 raises in my first year.

[@kolaguns1152]

Hi really enjoyed ur videos and the information by sharing am new to devops pls can u assist me with video for newcomers in the devops field

[@heavenbaheru3682]

am a high school student and i wanna study cs mainly software developing but am really scared because they all say dat its hard and the money that u get paid isn't ENOUGH

[@heysosathedev]

Programming/Computer Science can be hard for some people but you should try it out and see if you like it. Also, software engineering is one of the highest paid careers. I talk about how much I make (from last year) in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXXIdmmDnq9qr5o

[@tamalchatterjee8404]

[@tamalchatterjee8404]

Thanks for crating that Video, much thanks

[@26327]

Hello, I’m only 15 and I was wondering where I should start to learn more about software engineering because I am interested in it. Maybe I will find that I really enjoy it or maybe not but I wanted to know what I should do to start learning more about it. When did you start to become interested in software engineering and when did you start learning? Thank you.

[@heysosathedev]

Hi! I actually didn't learn about software engineering until my 2nd year in college. Luckily there are a bunch of online resources to learn and you don't need a college degree. I'd recommend FreeCodeCamp and CodeAcademy

[@hughflucas7075]

Wassup man, I actually turned l5 about a month ago, do you like coding?

[@benedictabaah2734]

How did you learn how to code?

[@heysosathedev]

Mainly through school. I got my degree in CS
