An under-discussed topic: how the hottest software engineering job of the early 2010s is seeing a steady but ongoing decline the last few years.I'm talking about the native iOS and Android positions. Outside of Big Tech, few startups/scaleups hire for this. Since ~2022? pic.twitter.com/SjDcaD2yEs— Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz) November 3, 2025
Are We Really Engineers?
This is part one of the Crossover Project. Part two is here and part three is here. A conference talk based on this work is now available here. I sat in front of Mat, idly chatting about tech and cuisine. Before now, I had known him mostly for his cooking pictures on Twitter, the kind that made me envious of suburbanites and their 75,000 BTU woks. But now he was the test subject for my new project, to see if it was going to be fruitful or a waste of time.
