REAL software engineering is THIS👇
Many people think software engineers are becoming irrelevant - especially with all the talk about AI writing code. But the truth is, there’s so much more to software engineering than just typing lines of code.

As a Software Engineering major, I’d always learned about the “before coding” process in class - things like planning, user research, and stakeholder engagement. But through the ZICTA Development Workshop and the Technical Development Workshop, I finally got to experience it all first-hand.

Before a single line of code is written, there’s a whole journey that happens:
🔹 Stakeholder engagement – understanding the needs of those who’ll use or benefit from the solution.
🔹 User journey mapping - seeing how users interact and move through a product.
🔹 Market and target user research - learning what problems exist and what people are willing to pay for.
🔹 Problem definition & requirement gathering - clarifying what to build and why.
🔹 Wireframing & prototyping - shaping the idea before touching the code.
🔹 Team collaboration & feedback - improving ideas together before ex*****on.

These experiences reminded me that software development isn’t just about coding, it’s about understanding people, their needs, and creating real solutions that make an impact.

Once you learn the rules of coding... Don't hesitate to break them and make your own.
U are an engineer!!!

most SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS won’t admit this, but it is quietly shaping everything in our industry.

It’s not about talent.
It’s not even about hard work.
It’s about access.

A friend once told me, “Some of us didn’t start with code. We started with disadvantage.”
That line has left a hole in me.

See, a rich kid probably had a computer before they turn 13. They learned to type, explore the internet, maybe even build small projects for fun.
Meanwhile, some of us saw our first laptop in the university lab , and had to share it with ten other people.

When a privileged kid wants to learn programming, they buy a premium course, attend a quality coding bootcamp, or fly out for tech conferences.
The rest of us? We depend on free YouTube tutorials, cracked software, and shaky internet that cuts off right before the lesson gets interesting ,not to talk of unsteady electricity.

By the time one is learning React with a mentor, the other is still trying to make Node.js run on a system that freezes every few minutes.

And let’s not even talk about networking.
For some, it’s a single phone call ,“Hey, can my son intern at your company?”
For others, it’s endless cold emails, rejections, and unpaid gigs just to build a portfolio that gets noticed.

So the next time someone says, “We all have the same 24 hours,” remember , some started with a head start, others started with a broken system and borrowed data.

Hard work matters, yes.
But opportunity often decides who gets seen first.

May we build enough wealth to make sure our children’s starting line isn’t as far back as ours.

In this age, the best way to find opportunities isn’t by just having a CV. It’s by building things and putting them out there! When you attempt to solve real problems, build stuff, share your work, write about it, and post your process, that becomes your digital footprint.
And unlike me, if you have the energy to setup a tripod and talk infront of a camera, then creating content about your work/development process is a huge visibility boost.
People discover you through what you create, not what you say you can do.
And with AI handling more of the technical work, the real value is in creativity and taste. It’s about coming up with ideas that stand out and using AI in a way that builds things people actually love to use or play with not AI slop software
