. That first job gave me a ton of opportunities in many career fields in IT.

    Hello TechLead. I enjoyed your description of all the job roles in the software industry. However, you missed out two important areas.
    1. Embedded Systems Software Developer
    This job is done by Electrical / Mechatronic engineers.
    2. Scientific Software / Numerical Simulation Software Developer
    This is done by scientists, applied mathematicians, and research engineers. It is a highly scientific area, and comparable to Machine Learning and Data Science jobs and requires tons of applied math. The area is also called Scientific Computing.

    This is one of the few channels on youtube that is actual tech content. This is something people actually working in the field understand and can relate to. All the other youtubers are great but cast thier content across the wider audiance of people who aren't YET in tech, or for those just getting thier feet wet. Thats why the title is so fitting, Ex Google Tech Lead - its legitimate content. This is EXACTLY like the conversations of two experience programmers or what "coffee is like" with your actual tech lead.

    Hi TechLead, I really like your videos and I've learned so much from you. I'm about to finish my BS degree in software development with emphasis on developing apps for Android. I would really like to hear your thoughts on not just mobile engineers, but especially those who pursue the Android route, and explain more why the industry is so much sought after and highly paid, and tips on what we can do to hone our skills/success in this field and your overall recommendations in general. Thank you, and I wish you all the best!

    If you can learn one language you can learn pretty much anything especially with notes public information or even real simple meetings with people where you can ask a few questions. I remember changing the "Slide to unlock" on old iPod Touch 3s. All depends what you do with it.

    One major area you didn't mention is embedded engineering. I think it's great fun! I'm happiest when I have an oscilloscope and power supply on my desk, hooked up to a $2000 board with very small chips on it. FPGAs, DSPs, all kinds of inter-chip and inter-board buses and protocols. It's not for everyone, of course.

    Nice video. I have always found backend development to be much easier than front end development 🙊. There are few reasons to why I say that. 1. You have no control over the execution environment as a front end engineer but you do have control in the back end. You have no idea what browser the user will select to run your app but you can always use a specific runtime in the backend with a specific OS. 2. Aside from persistence, batching, and orchestration, most of the backend concerns have shifted to the front end these days. Concerns such as state management, session hydration, security are now every days concerns due to the fact we are in a Javascript heavy front end era. There is very little difference between mobile dev and front-end dev. Actually all the concepts are now interchangeable. I think it's beyond just a "rendering layer". This is of course, just an opinion.
