I'm tired of developing web applications and of browsing through a whole bunch of job postings which all boil down to some combination of required language(s), some web framework, REST API, and one of the clouds.
Is that where most of writing code is now? Is there any hope for something else?
I kinda daydream in laterally switching to working on Security and cryptography, maybe one day I'll pull some strings and try that. Or do some programming that helps Physics people better understand the universe. But I don't want a salary downgrade.
Data engineering. I do backend/web things in my free time which I find more more but I would hate to do it for a job full time. DE lets me play around with large datasets with massive machines I normally wouldn't be able to.
It's a lot of C++ on Linux these days. Harder-real-time stuff is more likely C or C++ on vxWorks or some similar RTOS.
