So I want to learn Coding

[Malik1time]

Can anyone speak to a typical day to day as a developer/engineer? I don't want to get into a field that grinds you out. I've also heard that job security in the field is iffy, any opinions on that?

Good question

I can't speak to day-to-day as I'm nowhere near being a developer, but these are still useful skills for building your own stuff or doing freelance projects. Good base for a side hustle or an entrepreneurial venture.

I can tell you a little bit. I've worked as an engineer writing software for brakes in passenger vehicles; meaning that I did not just sit at a desk all day.

I spent about 10% of my time in a vehicle, 10% in meetings, and 30% of my time in the lab, and the remaining half at my desk working my simulator/test-bench.

I typically get requirements from the architect or the scientists to either make software feature updates, or to add new or different parts to a vehicle.

I make sure I understand what they want and then go about my business making the software to adequately respond or control the input.
