This is SO true. I’m hiring for a software engineer position right now. We’ve been looking for MONTHS. Recently, we’ve finally managed to fill the first head.
So many applicants just can’t even code. My company is not a place where you learn how to code, it’s a place where you learn all the stuff which you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.
We still have a qualified applicants shortage.

This to me is actually the “secret” of software engineering: it’s frequently doing the stuff you didn’t think you’d have to do as a software engineer.
The hard part is often finding someone who can do both while also wanting to work at your company.

Hit me up if you want a job where you’ll be forced to learn about inter-satellite laser links (free space optics)!

unfortunately definitely not.
my team has a strong emphasis on working with hardware. remote work doesn’t really make sense
