Why not, I'm curious? You seem to know a fuckton more than me and a lot of actual software engineers that I know.

Though outside of interviews, knowing stuff that mostly amounts to trivia isn't all that useful. If you ever did try for a job I would even say that having that strong of opinions about these things could be a potential turnoff for an employer. The reality IME is that outside of a few companies doing true high tech stuff, a bunch of it is just web app shit and computers and even phones are so efficient now that performance shit really matters less and less.
I know, I'm going to be more opinionated on a forum of course. Argument is just fun sometimes for shooting the shit, even if people think I'm toxic.

Idk why I don't have a software job, I've got bad ADD that keeps me from focusing on anything, and I don't have a degree. I just obsess over learning whatever I feel like in my free time, so I work 8 hours and go home to code for 11. I have no control over my brain, but I am working on a start up.

I do know SQL, C#, C++, HTML, Python, assembly, the fundamentals of emulation and hardware (I obsessed with emulation for a couple months until I was able to write an NES emulator). I even took the goofy little exams on Linkedin and got a 10th percentile score on some of them. Sadly I have nothing to show for it. Most employers won't look twice at me.

I think in my upcoming 1 week vacation I will have to dedicate myself to finally finding a development job.
