Yeah, I work in cyber forensics where everything I do is confidential, so yeah, I can’t actually explain my job which makes it difficult to explain my job
Describing my job? Yeah, sure. I do science.
Explaining my job? Hell no. Nobody is willing to read a 20 page lit review to start to understand the background of what I do
I’m working on making robots do useful things. I think that’s fairly easy for most people to understand.
Yes, I do. I’m a devops engineer and even “coding camp devs” have problems understanding what I do for a living.
I think most devs even only have worked in software companies that sell software where devops isn’t as critical and complex since there’s not “production” environments. When you work for a company who makes software for themselves and/or hosts software from other companies themselves, devops is a much bigger deal. Even moreso if it’s a heavily regulated industry like healthcare. Most other companies don’t spend much on devops or even often make the developers do that work themselves.
