w-what!

Are you saying sheer volume, or supply/demand?
I've only seen Comp Sci as an industry growing and growing and growing.

Well that's what everyone else is doing. So if you want to compete against them then you have to go above and beyond. Doing the bare minimum at your 9-5 is just not enough.

You sound like you don't have professional credentials or any defining features.

>You're expected to put in extra work in an incredibly flooded field
Flooded with mediocrity. It's hard to find someone that's actually reasonably good.

My hobby code is higher quality than the company code. Multiple authors, egos, competing decisions, bit rot and all. Having a nice 20k loc project with 1 author is easy. Having a nice 1 mil loc project with 15? Hahaha.

Hobby code is almost always higher quality than "professional" code because "professional" means "Crap something out as fast as possible until you have a semi-working iteration, then we'll just release some patches and slowly build more and more technical debt because being FAST means making money!"
I literally can't think of a single piece of software that is objectively extremely well written that is a fundamental part of a company.
I don't even think Google or Facebooks main "application" codebases (search engine/wall feed) are well written, they're probably sprawling hells of legacy C++ code

If you don't enjoy it enough to do it as a hobby then find something you love and find a way to get paid for it

No you aren't. In fact, not having such things is a great way to avoid shitty companies.

>dude just do what you love and get paid lmao
Nice meme.

>not programming in your spare time
you're like a painter who only paints at school. find a new career plan.

>You are expected to take professional-quality photographs and do industry-quality projects as a """hobby""" in order to be taken seriously as a professional.

delet this

if only they accepted "hobby experience" as valid. i've applied for like 80 remote positions on different websites and i've gotten only 2 interviews, which ended in nothing.

Get the fuck out Cory. Go to bed like a normal person.

Despite the increasing demand, the supply of labor is still oversaturated.

Most programmers are trash and a trash one is worse than no one.

Prove you aren't trash or I'll just not hire anyone.

so just write as shitty code as you can
