    What’s professional tech work when it’s at home?

    I don’t know what that term actually is supposed to mean do they mean programming, do they mean system architecture, systems management, cyber security, what?

    The term is so broad as to be meaningless, so I don’t think you can necessarily say that it’s any harder than baking, because we don’t know what an earth we’re talking about.

      Professional tech work at home is professional tech work. I think to anyone who actually have careers in technology wouldn’t see a distinction here. Programming is not the same as systems architecture, systems management etc. Programming is simply one of the tools you use as a software engineer. I do not think it’s too broad to be meaningless and I think comparing learning to bake to software engineering is reductive and shows a lack of understanding about the requirements of the field.
