Landon Prewitt thanks !!

I feel like more of us is gravitating towards full stack, I am a software dev and data science engineer, but I have been working in different roles for so many projects, it's all about continuous learning and development
gd luck >> but i think if you focus on one major you will be better and you will keep good time :)
thanks for sharing. this information was very enlightening. I actually learn t something
I do front end, back end, dev ops, and testing, but I suck in all of them.
I guess I'm a no-stack developer.
😆
Same, especially dev ops. Hate that shit XD
You are not alone ;)
Same here bud.
Oh wow this was from 2 years ago.
I have moved on to a full time back end, getting paid much more than when I was a no-stack.
Learn as much as you can, then find a better company where you don't have to do four roles in one salary.
Should be thankful I guess.
thanks for giving QA guys appreciation, always nice to hear!
=) :thumbs_up:
Thank you Mr. Xiang for a well thought out and presented list. I've been an application and back-end developer for, let's just say, since "megabytes" were considered BIG.
The only category I would add is the database programmer. Similar to a database administrator, in that he/she lays out the different databases and tables so they can be best used by various languages and applications. But more importantly, some databases such as Oracle's SQL have their own embedded languages used for "triggers", "stored procedures" and the like that help keep the database clean, useful, and responsive. These folks do things similar to embedded programmers only with databases.
Again, good job on the information.
Thank you sir for your kind words. Yes, that's a great category. I know that some people do dedicate themselves to designing a database as well as using it. I've heard of pure-SQL developers(everything runs in < 25ms), and also the people implementing mongodb/postgres are definitely specialized!
This is exactly what I need as I pick my classes and apply for internships. Thank you!
it's someone used "C" to create python not c++
Yes, someone commented on that already and that's my bad. It's C. Up-vote so more people see this.
sorry i didn't see it, keep going like that you're doing a great job i like what you do and there are few people that admit doing mistakes and try to correct them wish you good luck in your way of helping people
Also, doesn't mean that you have to use C to create a programming language. In case someone misunderstands.
Also PHP ( for back-end web application) is created using C
Hamza Eljaouhari Is PHP really backend? Wut
this is sick!! I love things to do with programing and front end software developers. I like being creative with digital interfaces
That was super helpful, been looking for a summary of the latest terms used to describe Software Engineers.
As someone majoring in Computer Science, this has been extremely informative. Thank you!
Well done! You covered a good range and gave good explanations.
I wish I had seen this when I was studying for my undergrad. It felt like my choices were basically back end java/c++, front end, databases, AI/research.
Now I help make network cards :)
Excellent list! I have learned quite a bit with your clear explanations of the differences and existence of each engineer. Thank you.
Nice :D
actually thank u very much, I was honestly searching for some kind of a explenation of all these terms!
Thank you so much for breaking this down! Very informative! I'm thinking I'll start as a Full Stack to get a thorough understanding of all levels, then specialize in whichever I enjoy the most!
Yo, love these videos man, keep it coming :D
I'm an indie dev who wrote my own game engine and does all the coding for my own games and I found your break down really solid :)
Thank you for the break down of software developers....BIG help for the next level to enter into.
I'm not even past the intro - and already love it...
=) Thanks sir!
Cool! I'm a "full stack" developer! (I'd like to be mobile developer, but my mind is so vague and I'm always switching from one thing to another).
full stack= jack of all trades master of none
Sure sounded like it in his description!
That's how I describe it when someone asks.
full stack = underpaid one man orchestra, cause we don't wanna hire a team of developers.
@Schrodinger's Cat if you are self employed full stack might be the best option for you. I still don't like full stack, cause I'd prefer to stick to one thing
Thanks a lot, I feel very misguided because half of my major has been end-user-facing development of applications (and backend for these apps) and I've really disliked it, and since it's been basically half of my major I've been worrying a lot that these were the only career choices and that I may have fucked up the past few years of life with my decision. Your video gives me lots of hope on finding a fulfilling job in the future as I really like the low-level more techinical side of computers, thank you!
I like it. It's a very nice and comprehensive classification so far. Btw, I am a guy number 9 - Embedded / Firmware engineer.
David,
I am a power consumer of TH-cam Video of the highest order.
I’ve been asked by TH-cam several times a month to prove that I’m not a robot...which, to be honest, I might be...
Once or twice a week I come across someone or something that just gets it spot on...
This video and your chill energy are the perfect way to break down this info.
Thank you, sir, for being awesome.
The cool thing about being a Computer Engineer is that you get to be all the 13 types at the same time.
Thanks for making these videos bro, they're helpful.
Excellent video. I am a Structural Engineer (Bridge) looking for career change. You summarized it very well. Many thanks.
awesome video dude! keep putting stuff out
I like the way you explain Engineer: Xiang. good job keep on going.
Nice vid, cleared up some of my misconceptions
Thank you for this video I really needed a good break down
A good developer knows all that was mentioned in your video.
You sir, not only analyzed and presented "types of software developers" rationally, but in a sophisticated and truthful way!
8. Algorithm - From "Coding" to "Programming" to "Developing" to "Engineering". Software Developing incorporates not only knowledge of physics and chemistry for the hardwares, but MATHEMATICS! Math is the logic and reasoning for ALL SOFTWARE CONCEPTS!!!
9. Embedded - Low level Languages are SOOOO IMPORTANT. ALL YOUR HARDWARES's software are hard coded to function, or else high level software will not function.
13. Language/Compiler - Many people only know how to use a pre-defined language to create software, but not understanding that these languages are already programmed and compiled in machine languages for the hardwares! 0s n 1s!
yep. difference between high-level programming and low-level programming. There is a science to surgery. And simultaneously, there is a science to even just making the surgical scalpel
Awesome!!! is the only word to describe this video. Thank you for making such great content!
that was quite amazing, i never really knew all these classifications.
Excellent Video. Keep up the great work !
Thank you for the video and your hard work on making it.
now I know I am an application dev :D thanks man . . . keep up good work
Great list! Shoutout to QA/Test Engineers! :) Also, I'm glad you pointed out the usual meaning of full-stack. I refer to myself as full-stack, but I mean that I'm comfortable all the way up the stack. So dealing with low level networking on up to being able to work with a ton of technologies well, on up to building an OS (not all coding, just can compile, tweak installation, and get it to boot.) Because of the way it was used with trendy startups it's been watered down, but in my opine, if someone hasn't had years working with many of the technologies up the stack (soft devel+networking+admin experience), I would hardly consider them full-stack.
Brother whats is ur insta id name , need to talk about full stack , because i want to start as fresher , just suggest
Like the vids. Keep em coming.
Awesome generalization you have done!👍
I love watching your video about software engineering. Useful information
This is super useful, your channel is awesome
Thanks for the explanation. And thanks for the intro addressed to trolls and haters.
Impressive breakdown of this complex industry.
Thx man. I really appreciate the information.
Hi Dave, does automation process in the Supply Chain Management relate to development...??
I'm a human compiler. Feed me some C and 6 hours later I'll shit out some x86
Hahahahahahah
This is great insight. I really appreciate your video.
Thank you for this video! I've just grown interest in programming and this just cleared few things what differences there are.. I did not know what you said about embedded even though I knew some an where interested in it. Now I know a littel more and maybe can find the way I want to go.
Thank you so much for posting this video :)
Fantastic Job Man! Congrats!
Hi Dave, can you update this video with AI/ML Engineers, Cloud Engineers, Big Data Engineers, etc. for 2018/2019?
Dave you make great videos. Thank you!
What about job postings that just have "Software Engineer" as a job title what do they do
Another wonderful video Dave.
Thank you very much for the video. Good job!
Helpful facts that should benefit students intending to step into this industry
hey! i need ur help, i was confused in my interest n got that i m more computer oriented then java so i started c# n im currently doing it so aftr it should i directly stcik 2 UNITY 2 devlop games or any other language i must learn. plz reply ASAP.
Thanks Alot Dave....It was Soo healpfull
great explanation! thanks very much!
This really opened my eyes. I got through my first semester of college and did pretty well in programming class (C++). Then I got to thinking, what am I going to do. Should I do applications,games,or websites? Algorithms and all the abstract stuff really pulls me in honestly. Who knows maybe I will eventually get into the other stuff but right now I feel I lack creativity to even approach applications,games,or websites.
Same 💔. How is it going now ?
Awesome vid! Keep it up.
Well resumed, i personally also don't like the fullstack name, but it works as the swiss knife developer for startups, do a little of everything without being an expert on all that.
Thank you Mr Xiang for your time you spend to teach us all this, very informative video. What is your opinion about crm development (salesforce etc) is it good sector to specialise?
super exciting info ! Thanks alot
Amazing. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks a lot for this video Dave
Awesome info. Right to the point. Didn't all the different branches of software developer. I'm heading to one of "those" bootcamps next week. I don't know what branch of developer I'm interested in. I guess I figure that when I get there. GREAT VIDEO. THX
Spot on mate, good job :)
nice dave...you have explained very well...in elaborated way....thank you
Nice.. It educated me a lot. Thanks!
This is very helpful video.
From here i have gained knowledge on software engineering.
I too agree that number 12 *Full Stack* is just a slick-sounding term for a *Jack of All Trades, Master Of None* mythical developer.
One that is used to do all things barely good just enough to get the wheels moving; specially in small or underappreciating companies that love to hire the bare minimum of staff. To add insult, also at the lowest cost possible "for the experience." Better call it a Unicorn or a good salesman of him(her)self just to get the foot inside the company.
Back in the 80s you could pull it off, because there were only three things to know: A single-thread, single user, console-oriented procedural language, a filesystem or local (diskette) database, and the hardware (TSRs, CR byte, serial ports and the like) it will work on.
Today "Full Stack" means front-end (JS), middleware (Django), language (python), presentation (CSS, HTML5), DBMS, QA, Version Control, Use Case documenter, analyst, user support, network admin, hardware installer, OS administrator, security expert, router configurator....
Impossible to be very good at all that, much less with technology paradigms changing on a monthly basis!
P.S. I'm expecting response from several loud-mouth Full Stack evangelists, all graduates of DevCons and Google searches.
Totally agree. Learn Linux, HTML and CSS (most nerds already know these) and a couple of frameworks (front end and back end), and you're a full stack dev. Boom. All it really takes is a certain personality type to spend the countless hours to actually sit and read the documentation of whatever framework you're in. Its not even about intelligence (which I think a lot of people get butt hurt when they're told that 99% of programming these days isn't rocket science). Hell, understanding AGILE and GIT/Subversion are probably harder than the actual coding and query writing needed to work in the field.
PS Google is a proper education, damnit.
Dude that’s hilarious but spot on. We are all google experts!
"Master of none" isn't mythical; "Jack of All Trades, Master Of All" would be mythical in the sense that it does not exist.
Could you post you lists in the link area? Either by a word doc or just listing it out. it would really help.
Thanks for adding test/qa to the list
Really loved this! Info + Music 💰
I am IT recruiter..this vedio helps me to understand the basic of IT engineer's work... thank you for making this vedio..👍 God bless you..
I am a Control SW Engineer. Most of the time I used Visual Studio (C#, VB.net, ASP.net, WPF/VMMV). But for the systems that I work on, I have to be fluent in Ladder Logic, PLC programming, and LabView as well. Where do I fit in all these? To make it as a software engineer these days, you have to master at least 3 out of those 13+. Unlike other engineer disciplines, software engineering is very wide. No software engineer masters everything in software. There are more jobs in software than almost anything else, but it's still very hard to find software job. Because you have to find something that fit you or they won't hire you without that specific experience. When I was in college, there were only a few things to study to be an electronics & computer science engineer; C/C++, Pascal, FORTRAN, and Assembly. I graduated in the same year as MS Windows 3.1 release. I had never got to see MS Windows 1.0 or 2.0 while in college, only DOS.
that's help a lot ,, thank Dave
Glad it was helpful, thank you.
Does the OS engineering also include the designing the user interface
Full-stack encompasses a bit of everything because someone has to have the practical skills of most of the disciplines to put an application ecosystem together. If you need someone to tell the Devops engineers what infrastructure to deploy, tell the front-end devs which framework to use and which api it will point at, tell the database developers which data models to develop, you can say its an architect, but that role is typically dealing in abstracts. The full stack developer is the person who gets stuff done, because they know how it all fits together - and which pieces are needed to make it scalable.
What Camera is being used to film this video ? It's very well made :)
Sweet descriptions!
Very helpful! I'm a recent college grad with some programming background (CS minor) and recently decided I want to become a developer, and needed to understand the different types. I realize that I prefer back-end development.
Compiler development also sounds really cool! Can you tell me about the outlook of the job market for this, as well as some resources to learn more about it?
Compiler developer is really niche and there isn't really a job market for it. There aren't that many developers in the world working on this. If you truly want to do that... you will have to study really hard and find out exactly how to contribute which will be very specialized. This also requires high level of skill. If you are just starting, I would continue with some application development until you get really comfortable with that.
Excellent video, informational and well written.
very good man....wish i had a teacher like you
hey dave , the tech stack is destroyed how do you rebuild it?
lol what do you mean destroyed ? i hate the word stack, it's so overloaded
do we learn all these in software engineering ? or are there different courses for each of them
Really nice. Great English, broad understanding of IT things and interesting speaking. Subscribing.
What category do the developers who develop Photoshop or commercial-product-type-of-aplications for the PC fit in?
I think that falls under the broad category of Application development within a specific platform. So for example, if you're developing Photoshop for Mac you'd be a mac OSX application developer.

who makes voice recognitionon programs
Very clear explanation. Thanks!
I was intrigued by Algorithms in college. Are there software jobs that mainly deal with Algorithms on a daily basis? I see algorithms being used only for coding interviews. After that its mostly about config, logging, debugging, documenting, etc. I want to be an algorithms engineer. Can you tell me how?
I really like this youtuber , when he speaks about programming he doesn't make it sound like open heart surgery or quantum physics, simple , cool, down to earth.
hai bro for 3D game development which os best...??
Quick question: You mentioned Backend developers and OS developers but I'm confused about Systems Developers. If I heard correctly, you kinda said they were synonymous to Backend developers, but aren't OS developers a type of System Developers? Also, I thought system developers work on anything under an application. So does that include Database?
I guess Im just confused on the difference between Backend vs. System vs. OS developers
What degree do u need for a front end or back end developer ?
Bro, if you could do some classes on a specific language like python I would DEFINITELY watch them. Your videos are amazing by the way. :)
I have to go through all phases for an application when ever there is need of customization. Also have to take care of errors in existing programs... M I full stack or application developer....??
I ur doing very good job bro ur uploading such a great information to the floks great job bro
THE POINTS ARE ON POINT
