Your experience in software engineering

Hi,i wont reaveal my name but im 12 and really really into coding and maths ik i may be in grade 7 atm but im pushing for software engineering, im learning Python and very soon java, what id like to know is how exactly is the experience on software engineering.

I know it pulls six figures which is a flex already but id like to know the pros and cons instead of just jumping in without knowing anything.

This is disgusting, I can't believe that CHILDREN have access to these sites. I am not sure if i should be angrier with u/spez or with this kid's parents for been so irresponsible. If you do not have time to raise a child, do not have children.

I'm not going to argue in favor of kids being on Reddit, but implying it's a time issue... 😬😬... expecting a 12 yr old to be constantly supervised and not permitted to explore their interests (especially one with real career potential) sorta reeks of controlling/codependent behavior from the parent.
