They Lied: The Truth About Software Engineering

🤬 THEY LIED TO YOU

Six-figure income with just passion. Become a digital nomad after one bootcamp. Financial freedom through coding!

You hear these promises every day. And I'm here to tell you the truth that those marketing machines don't want you to know.

🥇 PROGRAMMING IS NOT EASY

And that's good news. If you accept this truth, you'll stop wasting money and time on empty promises, and start walking the right path.

🥤 WHAT DOES A PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER ACTUALLY DO

80% of the time: Thinking, analyzing, drawing on paper, and debating with HUMANS to find the BEST solution.

20% remaining: Actually writing code and waiting for builds.

Vibe Coding encourages you to type frantically and prompt endlessly because it creates the illusion of productivity while generating revenue for AI companies. But that's a sweet trap. The real work happens in your head, not on your fingertips.

💡 THE SAME SCRIPT 100 TIMES WITH VIBE CODING

You use an AI tool like Claude and bUiLd an expense tracking app in 60 seconds. Sleek interface, smooth CSS. You immediately think: "I've got it made! Solopreneur, financial freedom, here I come!"

You want to add one small custom feature, like selling a Theme Icon pack.

Your prompts start torturing Claude. It fixes one thing, breaks another. Fix the colors, break the layout. Install new icons, app becomes slow as a turtle. Install new library, forget to remove the old one. A mess in your localhost:3000 project and you just forgot to commit your code.

A painfully familiar scenario.

The illusion that AI will handle everything has crushed the preparation that should have been there. Frustration sets in. You give up, despite spending money on VibE CoDiNg courses for beginners, buying NextJS templates, and consoling yourself that this knowledge is somehow useful anyway.

But the truth is, there's no such thing as nutritious junk food.

✅ WHAT'S NEXT

Accept the truth to walk the right path.

Throw away the map they sold you. The treasure was never there.

Programming is very HARD, and that's exactly why it's valuable. The difficulty is a natural filter that keeps only those who are truly serious and persistent.

The feeling of conquering each challenge, one by one, on a path where you build every brick with your own hands - that's what brings real success and genuine security.
