What is Software Engineering? 

We break this down into: 

Software, and it&#39;s constituent science - computer science, and 
Engineering, which we define as the practice of applying science to solve problems.

If you&#39;ve ever wondered whether you&#39;d enjoy a career in software or tech, this is the episode for you. 
We dive into common activities and not so commonly discussed paths that a prospective student might be able to look forward to.

A Life Of Learning Stuff - ft. Patrick Isaac

Software Engineering is a confusing trade.
You code all day and speak the language of 1's and 0's to the machines that power our modern world.
...At least that's what you were told.  
In reality, engineering is a people practice and with that comes all the joys and frustrations of interacting with real people.
Join two experienced software engineers as they share all the ups and downs that come with coding for a living.
At the end of the day software often resembles the authors that write them, they're works in progress.
