Forgive the hastily made meme. All too common with us engineers.

Forgive the hastily made meme. All too common with us engineers.
ah yes, the famously bullshit-free career of software engineering
Exactly. Why add on?
I mean I’m kidding around, but really, most of the time we’re making a product to sell, and then selling the product to make more of it (or a new/better version of it) so that we can sell it more… so we can make it more… to sell more…
Its just all part of the same cycle. The OP meme could equally be:
Sales/Marketing: I made this sale
[…]
Product: I made this sale.
its bullshit all the way down.
I understand there’s some jest in this expression but I strongly object. I work tuning queries and doing that awful database shit yall dread and I find a lot of fulfillment in supporting devs and providing a better user experience.
I can guarantee you I’d be stuck in the deepest depths of depression if I tried a career in sales. Job satisfaction is high enough a priority for me that I’m currently wrestling with my dumbass PE overlords to stop trying to bankrupt our company even as they underpay me by an embarrassing amount.
