Oh wow this was from 2 years ago. I have moved on to a full time back end, getting paid much more than when I was a no-stack. Learn as much as you can, then find a better company where you don't have to do four roles in one salary. Should be thankful I guess.

thanks for giving QA guys appreciation, always nice to hear!

You sir, not only analyzed and presented "types of software developers" rationally, but in a sophisticated and truthful way! 8. Algorithm - From "Coding" to "Programming" to "Developing" to "Engineering". Software Developing incorporates not only knowledge of physics and chemistry for the hardwares, but MATHEMATICS! Math is the logic and reasoning for ALL SOFTWARE CONCEPTS!!! 9. Embedded - Low level Languages are SOOOO IMPORTANT. ALL YOUR HARDWARES's software are hard coded to function, or else high level software will not function. 13. Language/Compiler - Many people only know how to use a pre-defined language to create software, but not understanding that these languages are already programmed and compiled in machine languages for the hardwares! 0s n 1s!

yep. difference between high-level programming and low-level programming. There is a science to surgery. And simultaneously, there is a science to even just making the surgical scalpel

Thank you Mr. Xiang for a well thought out and presented list. I've been an application and back-end developer for, let's just say, since "megabytes" were considered BIG. The only category I would add is the database programmer. Similar to a database administrator, in that he/she lays out the different databases and tables so they can be best used by various languages and applications. But more importantly, some databases such as Oracle's SQL have their own embedded languages used for "triggers", "stored procedures" and the like that help keep the database clean, useful, and responsive. These folks do things similar to embedded programmers only with databases. Again, good job on the information.

@DaveXiang

Thank you sir for your kind words. Yes, that's a great category. I know that some people do dedicate themselves to designing a database as well as using it. I've heard of pure-SQL developers(everything runs in < 25ms), and also the people implementing mongodb/postgres are definitely specialized!

A good developer knows all that was mentioned in your video.

This is exactly what I need as I pick my classes and apply for internships. Thank you!

Nice :D actually thank u very much, I was honestly searching for some kind of a explenation of all these terms!

David, I am a power consumer of KZread Video of the highest order. I’ve been asked by KZread several times a month to prove that I’m not a robot...which, to be honest, I might be... Once or twice a week I come across someone or something that just gets it spot on... This video and your chill energy are the perfect way to break down this info. Thank you, sir, for being awesome.

That was super helpful, been looking for a summary of the latest terms used to describe Software Engineers.

As someone majoring in Computer Science, this has been extremely informative. Thank you!

this is sick!! I love things to do with programing and front end software developers. I like being creative with digital interfaces

I like it. It's a very nice and comprehensive classification so far. Btw, I am a guy number 9 - Embedded / Firmware engineer.

Thank you so much for breaking this down! Very informative! I'm thinking I'll start as a Full Stack to get a thorough understanding of all levels, then specialize in whichever I enjoy the most!

I'm not even past the intro - and already love it...

Thank you for the video and your hard work on making it.

Thanks for making these videos bro, they're helpful.

Yo, love these videos man, keep it coming :D

Well done! You covered a good range and gave good explanations. I wish I had seen this when I was studying for my undergrad. It felt like my choices were basically back end java/c++, front end, databases, AI/research. Now I help make network cards :)

that was quite amazing, i never really knew all these classifications.

now I know I am an application dev :D thanks man . . . keep up good work

I like the way you explain Engineer: Xiang. good job keep on going.

This is great insight. I really appreciate your video.

awesome video dude! keep putting stuff out

Thank you for the break down of software developers....BIG help for the next level to enter into.

Nice vid, cleared up some of my misconceptions

Like the vids. Keep em coming.

This is super useful, your channel is awesome

I have done 10 of them I believe.

Thanks a lot for this video Dave

Cool! I'm a "full stack" developer! (I'd like to be mobile developer, but my mind is so vague and I'm always switching from one thing to another).

this video is just amazing!

Awesome!!! is the only word to describe this video. Thank you for making such great content!

Fantastic Job Man! Congrats!

Dave you make great videos. Thank you!

Excellent Video. Keep up the great work !

You are awesome man!

Thank you for this video! I've just grown interest in programming and this just cleared few things what differences there are.. I did not know what you said about embedded even though I knew some an where interested in it. Now I know a littel more and maybe can find the way I want to go.

I'm an indie dev who wrote my own game engine and does all the coding for my own games and I found your break down really solid :)

Great list! Shoutout to QA/Test Engineers! :) Also, I'm glad you pointed out the usual meaning of full-stack. I refer to myself as full-stack, but I mean that I'm comfortable all the way up the stack. So dealing with low level networking on up to being able to work with a ton of technologies well, on up to building an OS (not all coding, just can compile, tweak installation, and get it to boot.) Because of the way it was used with trendy startups it's been watered down, but in my opine, if someone hasn't had years working with many of the technologies up the stack (soft devel+networking+admin experience), I would hardly consider them full-stack.

Another wonderful video Dave.

Thanks a lot, I feel very misguided because half of my major has been end-user-facing development of applications (and backend for these apps) and I've really disliked it, and since it's been basically half of my major I've been worrying a lot that these were the only career choices and that I may have fucked up the past few years of life with my decision. Your video gives me lots of hope on finding a fulfilling job in the future as I really like the low-level more techinical side of computers, thank you!

Thanks Alot Dave....It was Soo healpfull

This is very helpful video. From here i have gained knowledge on software engineering.

Really helpful, well explained.

thanks for the information it was very useful

THE POINTS ARE ON POINT

I thought you would miss the "9.Embedded" but thumbs up.

i realised just how boxed up i actually am, i thought being a back end, front end and gaming engineer. i thought i could do basic anything... boy was i heavily mistaken

This is literally the first software video I have watched, my initial impression is that being a software developer is/can be a job where you take a look at what a company has in place and developing something to make the company/general business run more efficiently, would you say that is accurate? Thank you

Well resumed, i personally also don't like the fullstack name, but it works as the swiss knife developer for startups, do a little of everything without being an expert on all that.

I too agree that number 12 *Full Stack* is just a slick-sounding term for a *Jack of All Trades, Master Of None* mythical developer. One that is used to do all things barely good just enough to get the wheels moving; specially in small or underappreciating companies that love to hire the bare minimum of staff. To add insult, also at the lowest cost possible "for the experience." Better call it a Unicorn or a good salesman of him(her)self just to get the foot inside the company. Back in the 80s you could pull it off, because there were only three things to know: A single-thread, single user, console-oriented procedural language, a filesystem or local (diskette) database, and the hardware (TSRs, CR byte, serial ports and the like) it will work on. Today "Full Stack" means front-end (JS), middleware (Django), language (python), presentation (CSS, HTML5), DBMS, QA, Version Control, Use Case documenter, analyst, user support, network admin, hardware installer, OS administrator, security expert, router configurator.... Impossible to be very good at all that, much less with technology paradigms changing on a monthly basis! P.S. I'm expecting response from several loud-mouth Full Stack evangelists, all graduates of DevCons and Google searches.

@evhwolfgang2003

Totally agree. Learn Linux, HTML and CSS (most nerds already know these) and a couple of frameworks (front end and back end), and you're a full stack dev. Boom. All it really takes is a certain personality type to spend the countless hours to actually sit and read the documentation of whatever framework you're in. Its not even about intelligence (which I think a lot of people get butt hurt when they're told that 99% of programming these days isn't rocket science). Hell, understanding AGILE and GIT/Subversion are probably harder than the actual coding and query writing needed to work in the field.

Very helpful! I'm a recent college grad with some programming background (CS minor) and recently decided I want to become a developer, and needed to understand the different types. I realize that I prefer back-end development. Compiler development also sounds really cool! Can you tell me about the outlook of the job market for this, as well as some resources to learn more about it?

@DaveXiang

7 жыл бұрын

Compiler developer is really niche and there isn't really a job market for it. There aren't that many developers in the world working on this. If you truly want to do that... you will have to study really hard and find out exactly how to contribute which will be very specialized. This also requires high level of skill. If you are just starting, I would continue with some application development until you get really comfortable with that.
