Whenever I get in conversation with junior undergrads, they often ask if it is monotonous and boring working on web technologies. I used to think the same way 3-4 years ago, however, after having the first hand experience, I think otherwise.

We, the new generation of software engineers, love to talk about creating an impact. We attend overnight hackathons to build the next big thing. Good that we can build an app in 24 hours, but is it really a production ready codebase? Are we carried away with the agility brought in by our generation?

When we talk about developing a software product, we often overlook what goes on in the life of an engineer. The software is not just about code, much like how a journey is not about destination.
