What Do You Do

So What Do You Do?

Obviously, people ask one another this question all the time, and usually my answer is “Oh I’m a software engineer” and that’s the end of it. But of course it’s not the end of it at all. If it’s asked in the presence of, or by, a software engineer, then the conversation will likely continue with “Oh, what sort of thing?” and comparisons of tech stacks ensue. The words “Open Banking” or “Oh, digital identity stuff” get bandied about. Et cetera.
