The reality of being a software developer in Singapore: NOT GLAMOROUS!!
Anybody else had the misconception that being a techie was gonna be cool? My friends think.. I'm building the next billion-dollar app or hacking into top-secret systems. In reality, I spend half my time Googling error messages. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but it’s not all startup glory and tech fame. Just wanna put it out there for anybody who think we have the coolest jobs

Yesss! People think I’m doing cyber espionage, but all I do is debug and pray my code doesn’t break in production. Also, why does everyone assume all devs can build an app overnight? 😭 I barely have time to finish my sprint tasks!
