The idea of becoming a ‘Software Engineer’ is so cool and amazing, well for me I think.

It is alluring.

What is the vision of what a software engineer does?

Does it mean working for an established big software company?

The problem I have right now for me as a middle-aged man is working on projects within a company’s mission/boundaries.

Does personal projects with your own GitHub repo matter at middle-aged?

How much of your personal projects matter?

When does your personal projects materialize into profits?
