Is the end goal for software engineers the food industry? In the summer of 1999, I worked part-time at a software company near Tsinghua University, developing software alongside their engineering team. Over lunch one day, I asked a young software engineer about his long-term life plans. He said that once he saved enough money, he would return to his hometown in Shandong, open a restaurant, get married, and start a family. More than twenty years later, many Chinese software engineers, after leaving the tech industry, also choose to enter the food business. Is the ultimate destination for software engineers really the food industry—low barriers to entry, fierce competition, and slim profits? Why is this the case?
