I just graduated with my bachelor's in computer science at 26. I had a good GPA, but it took me a few extra years to get through the program for various personal reasons. My main concern right now is the age gap. Since I'm starting my career a few years behind the typical age group, I'm worried I might never catch up financially or professionally. Will companies view my age as a red flag for entry-level roles, and does starting later cap my ultimate career trajectory?

I've just been made redundant with 15 years experience in web development & software engineering. I've had a pretty bumpy ride - I've never been given a promotion and I have done everything from bug fixes to line management and architecting & infrastructure so my CV is not looking great. Mostly due to being in the wrong place for too long (small companies, failing companies). Any advice on what I can do to beat the market, from people who have experienced this recently?

Currently working as a Front-End Developer and looking to transition into a Full-Stack Developer role. I have knowledge of the MERN stack and have been actively building projects to improve my backend development skills. I'd love to hear from professionals who have made a similar career move. What skills, certifications, or project experiences helped you successfully switch to a full-stack role? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any software teams adopt coderabbit.ai or similar tools to their team workflow after adopting agentic assisted coding? I’m genuinely curious because I’ve noticed that agentic coding only gets you to the next bottleneck which is reviewing code.

My current full-time job is a total dead end and I'm miserable, but it's stable. A recruiter reached out about a contract-to-hire position that's exactly what I want to be doing, but I'm wondering if it's just going to be a glorified temp job. Would it be crazy to leave a permanent position for this?
