Hello!<p>I have been out of University and working for about a year now. However, recently I have been feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed on what I want to do.<p>I'd like to ask<p>1. What sub-field are you working in?<p>2. How did you end up in your niche?<p>3. Is there any advice you have for Junior programmers trying to find their way in tech?<p>Thanks for your attention.
When I first learned how to program, I hated how languages made it hard to write seemingly basic apps with issues like null-pointer-exceptions, manual memory management, and complicated abstractions. I figured I could make a better programming language, so I went into the field of compilers.<p>Today I know it's not so easy, but I also know a lot more about compilers, and effective software development in general (so I don't get sidetracked with bugs/over-abstractions as often). I don't expect to make an entire new language, but I can expect to make it easier to develop with an existing language in some way.
