Starting to near the end of the project that originally brought me to The Netherlands. Some of the original goals proved impossible due to some severely legacy systems, but those hurdles led to the development of more creative solutions. 2020 has definitely shown me that I am in fact capable of developing useful software. Perhaps it's time to drop the claim that I'm "not a developer" just because my degree happens to be in mechanical engineering.
@ajmartinez So far in my career I haven't found that a computer science degree has any bearing of the quality of software development, systems administration, or security work someone does. I *have* found that people who transfer from other disciplines tend to be better at learning *new* things, which IMO is the more important skill for these fields.
@kyle yeah, a willingness to learn goes a long way.
