I discovered the world of medical devices by accident and it’s great. When the bosses are nice, it’s pure heaven. I write code in C# or C++ (but also Python, pipelines, scripts, JS, etc.) and it needs to be somewhat efficient. We all follow the same rules (62304 especially), we must write unit tests, and make sure that my features are properly integrated at all steps of the development up to the release, and even aft…
I've never minded working with old legacy code and tangly messes, and there's a lot less (definitely not zero!) bullshit at a FAANG.
My jobs are my jobs…day jobs. No matter how much I love them.
I am lucky to have work and jobs that enable me to pursue it.
Good luck.

How did you find a job doing this? This sounds interesting.
That’s all actually. There’s a few months ramp up where you have to learn and adapt to the process, but it’s a regular coding job. Nothing special actually.
I went from software engineering to navigating people through German bureaucracy. It started as a simple blog, but applied a lot of software engineering knowledge to the problems I face. Simple things like using calculated variables in my content, monitoring German legal texts for changes, and building calculators and letter generators for my readers. I also implement more complex things like a custom static site gen…
Really cool, but as a foreigner in Germany it also saddens me that there is a need for so many apps and softwares to deal with bureaucracy.

One of the most interesting periods of my work was when my cross-border e-commerce business grew too fast, and we started to outgrow our warehouse. We designed so many ideas to save space and optimize work, it almost doubled our efficiency. I remember drawing some sliding rows and robotic shelves, though it didn't come to that. I was tired but happy, and the work was one of the most interesting in my life. Now, if I say, "I have an interesting job, it's in Warehouse Automation", you'd think I'm crazy, right?
