Excellent post. Your point on remote work really resonated with me. A lot of people with disabilities and mothers that wish to be more present in their young children's life really benefit from being able to work remotely.
The job market still hasn't adjusted from a small group of related professions in technology (software developer, system administrator, information technologist, etc.) to our modern employment landscape where technology intersects with other fields of work. My official job title is Software Engineer which is great news for my grandparents (who are really proud of their boy) but I went to Business School not Engineering. I share my job title with actual computer engineers but I would rather describe myself a programming enthusiast who is employed.
We learn a lot on the job. We can invest in ourselves by going to formal studies or alternative methods like online courses but the lessons that will make us software developers are those that we learn when facing real-life code. Linear algebra is all nice for very interesting algorithms but the day to day isn't quite as simple as picking the right sorting algorithm.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
