A survey featuring only 40ish people from around the world, from completely different cultures, with completely different backgrounds is quite frankely impossible for me to trust as a reprisentation of an entire generation of people. You would need thousands of respondents MINIMUM for me to even start to take this seriously

@CottidaeSEA

In order to get a good idea you'd need at least a thousand from each represented country, because the risk of statistical error is just too great. You'd also get a lot more insight into what the opinion is in different countries which would also give a more clear picture of the situation. If one country overwhelmingly responds negatively it can skew everything and you might make the wrong conclusion as a result, because that is likely to be a country-related issue and not actually the subject at hand. For the sake of learning it would also reveal another subject to look into, why one country would have that negative opinion. There's so much to learn from statistics if used correctly, so it's sad when it's not.

Yeah, this is definitely not a definitive answer about what a generation thinks. But no survey would be. It's impossible to get a complete understanding without perfect sampling and perfect response rates, both impossible at this scale. Having a sample of thousands would probably just give false confidence in your results (aka high statistical power), when that sample is unlikely to be representative of every potential respondent out there. So for a survey as informal as this one, the small sample size should be fine. Just take it with a grain of salt.

I'm a Gen Z data platform engineer that's been building a large data lakehouse for the last 5 years. My largest frustration at my organization is the clear lack of requirements from product and management. I've had to design our entire architecture from scratch with no requirements after begging for them and getting nothing. Then after things are deployed, products comes and cries that it doesn't meet our customer expectations and we need to refactor. Having to redo work constantly from poor requirements makes me want to rip my hair out, and had driven me to extreme burnout to meet the deadlines. I always question if I'm in the right industry, everyone I've talked to makes it seem like this is just a continuous problem everywhere.

I would say, you are never going to have the exact requirements for anything, and that its good that you voice your concerns upfront. As crappy as the situation is, take a step back and look at the tremendous amount of insight and experience you have gained. Insight, experience and understanding that you will take to your next role. Don't give up keep trucking, no job is perfect no situation is ever really a straight line. Best thing I've learned after all these years is don't beat your self up don't over stress. If things get too bad, all that experience you have gained from this position will help you in landing your next big role.

In my +20 years of working software engineering, I have had hit and miss with team leaders and CTOs, but with only one exception, middle management has been filled with utterly terrible toxic persons who have mastered the 48 laws of power. And they thoroughly enjoy flexing that power muscle.

Anyway, a lot of us still embrace the physical world and only have minimal involvement in any social media. We didn't grow up in chat rooms, we grew up in arcades. And if you were a gen x who ultimately found a career in software engineering, the social circles were always rather small. We were outskirts then, and we are still on the outskirts.

The senior engineers don't push for it because they've tried and failed and given up already. What was said in the video is pretty much true, docs get out of date immediately. It's good to push for process improvements and to try to make things better. But you also have to realize that sometimes the idealized versions of your processes just won't work. Even if the outcome would be beneficial, if the engineers don't want to do it and don't like doing it, it's hard to gain traction. Like, let's say for the docs example, maybe you think you can get this to work if you set a standard that any feature or infrastructure changes to Service X require updating your docs for new hires. That sounds great, but what might happen is the engineers are on top of all that for a few months and then interest drops off. Then you're back where you started. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try - you should. But only a few people are motivated to keep trying that stuff 5 years down the line, and that's why you may not see senior engineers pushing for process improvements as much.

Lol at the comment about about conversations being about family, kids and houses. Sure some of the chats I have at work about about house/family/adulting things. But I've sat on deployment calls where we chatted about diablo, or had calls turn into chats on star wars movies vs comics, or just personally interesting tech topics.

"Work with purpose" probably means something like doing work not because someone decided you will, but rather because it is necessary. IMO it happens too often that someone makes stupid unreasonable decisions that they don't (or better yet can't) explain. It is really unfulfilling to do meaningless labor that cannot even be rationalized. So it's probably not that they want purpose as much as they want to avoid meaningless work.

I agree with this. I think he misunderstood what was meant by "work with purpose." Not some grand purpose in life etc. But that the work being done has a point and reason to be done. Instead of doing some random busy work that your boss assigned to you because they couldn't come up with anything else for you to actually do, and they can't have an employee doing nothing.

Probably one massive part of GenZ: Very few want to be The Primegen. Most don't want to live and breathe programming. They just want a job where they can do interesting stuff and then come home and do NOTHING like that. I personally like that too. I come home, I do not touch a damn terminal, no IDE, no script file, nothing. I keep home and work separated completely so I can switch and nothing bleeds into the other. I don't care about the "never work a day in your life" bull as that just leads to burnout on the thing you love.

I am curious, based on the perspective you give, what you think I should do when I actually do programming for work and my hobby? Seems like you'd recommend me doing something totally different. But for me, you'd be killing me. Id be miserable only programming 40hrs a week. You only really do 10-20 decent hours of programming during the work week. And you don't get the chance to build something fascinating and beautiful. Just doing work tasks. Of course I'd never listen to you. But I think both sides of this argument need to be more open to the other. You would be miserable living my way (programming an extra 20-30 hours a week after work), and id be miserable living your ideal. The world and culture must be accepting of both. I think it is. But its also completely natural for employers, looking to find the best value programmers, to prize the programmers who grind harder than others. Were all just people trying to live free or die fighting for it.

On this 1:00:56 . I work at a company with a flat organizational hierarchy, and I agree it’s easier to talk to those who are more senior (sometimes it’s hard to even tell they’re senior because they’re younger) and engage in environments that typical organization hierarchies wouldn’t allow. This is one anecdote, but i believe it helps the company progress because engineers don’t shy away from learning opportunities because someone is senior.

1:16:55 I worked in a project in which the documentation was a required piece of the product. As in - client required to have documentation in order to integrate with the product properly. Having said that, the product was a piece in a workflow defined in a public spec. So out documentation was a mix of repeating parts of the spec with added sprinkles of implementation details, product-specific behaviors, and custom functions, that were not specified by the base document, but still useful.

Still, it all feels hopeless because I’m so behind, and the industry looks very difficult to break into. I’m willing to put in *a lot* of work, but I don’t know if it’ll ever pay off. I originally wanted to do EE, but my college didn’t let me because I wouldn’t graduate in time. There’s just a lot of uncertainty in general. I really appreciate the honest insight into what a software engineer does in their jobs. I would really like to have purpose in my job, but I understand that sometimes that’s unrealistic.

I think that work with purpose is probably a misinterpretation from avoiding work against values. The values of the market lag quite a bit behind the values of the youth. You don't need to have complete purpose from your work, but if your values directly conflict with the type of work that is available it is demoralizing. The diversity of values people carry has been increasing in the information age. Before the information age college was typically the first opportunity to explore a value system that wasn't given to you, now it is a persistent activity of life.

I had a conversation with my superior yesterday. It was very frustating to understand that my work doesnt matter thqt much. And because of that my skills dont either, and without that I can negotiate my conditions. Anyone could do my work or not but it doesnt matter, even if i can do much more

You need to make your own extensive survey prime.

My advice for young programmers is to look at their few year old code, and wonder at how far you moved on. Now imagine this happens your whole career. That should give you an estimate of how much you probably still don't know. Seeing your old code is the best way to humble yourself.

The purpose is gained by living your life in service to others. Leaving this place better than when you got here.

It's funny. I see a lot of things attributed to one generation or the next when really it seems to be personalities. I know plenty of people who started their tech careers at an age younger then me who have stalled out because they don't learn anything new. I know plenty of people older than me who keep learning new things and keep progressing. I think it gets easier to fall into a rut when you are older but some of these traits are just the way some people are.

When it comes to things like IDE settings ect. One thing I think more people understand is that you should understand WHY people like it that way, be it older or younger and then take the pieces you like about it and make it yours. That's what I did in welding, and it's what I've done in programming. You should never blindly just do what others have told you, but you should also never blindly not do it. Learn why they do it and then once you understand the purpose tweak it to fit your needs.

I felt more joy in completing something cool than winning a round. So, slowly, i just became someone who loves to program at work, and at home. Im just doing what i love day and night.

Technics for me. Bikes choppers. Planes. 4x4s. Love it

Technics for me were too expensive so I could only get the smaller sets

i find luck a very difficult thing to discuss because someone might think it's some power but luck itself is more the precievers observation rather than an actual thing. Take covid for example if you don't like hanging out with people you might consider yourself lucky but if you hate being alone then you might think you have bad luck.

Well I'm pretty young but I work in embedded this forms one's character. Most younger guys are going with JS and Frontend/Backend stuff.

When you are young you are shocked by how horrible the work world is. After you've been in it a while you just get used to it and beat down by it, and then you are like "whatever".

Prime misunderstanding "work having a purpose" and "work giving you a purpose" is such a classic Prime misunderstanding. I'm pretty sure "work having purpose" here means "work doesn't feel pointless." Pointless work being, for example, that time blizzard QA was instructed to "get ahead of development."

Wait Zod is out? what is in in validation?

Woah, 2 hours

.... Having had a discussion this week with my coworkers about legos and what we had as a kid, I feel personally targeted.

I'm only 11 minutes into the video... Gen X here and flexible schedule is very important to me: I prefer working at night.

Brazil mentioned!!!
