It&#x27;s times like these when I think to myself why I&#x27;m bothering to enter this field? I mean, I really wanna go into the tech feel to make awesome stuff, but hearing how hard it is for people who look like me (black African college student in the mid west) just gets me down.<p>Then again, software engineering has only been a thing for about 40-50 odd years and is young as compared to other professions, so I guess things will change.
