Yeah what I've heard I've heard about it is that recruiters hate it and have moved away from cold applications. Networking and working with recruiters is way nicer and a lot less work in my experience.

And I of course think they're an ass hole, I just think I'm general there's a pattern of scammy behavior in software that I don't really perceive in other industries. My education was not in computer science originally and one of the books I read was To Engineer is Human by Petroski. The professional standards are just higher in fields like aerospace and civil engineering. You might say that software doesn't kill people when it fails but I think that's underselling the powerful role software plays in our society. I think it's completely reasonable to push for higher ethical standards in the field even if it means some undergrads are annoyed they have to take a humanities course.
