It seems almost everyone here is a web or mobile developer of some sort. Am I the only non-student, desktop developer? I occasionally do some backend web stuff, but I just do a lot of desktop stuff (mostly C++)

I couldnt find work doing desktop apps so moved to servers. Originally wanted to do (desktop) computational science. But my early years were gui and mvc with visual c++. Last desktop i did was for researchers in python actually.

You have steady desktop program work? For Windows? Or for Linux? I couldn't do it now, whatever i knew is ancient now. Unless clients ok with tkinter lol

@plumbus Windows. I work for a very big undisclosed desktop software company.

Bioinformatician here, I write for desktops and compute clusters. All of my works is in Python, R, or C++ and mainly targets macOS or Linux. If it works on Windows as well, then yay.

We do web and desktop applications, but mostly web.

Web is easier to manage releases and support so unless we're building something for a device that won't have internet connectivity or another obvious reason, we go for web.

Im creating GUI's, mostly for myself, if I need some small thing done. Because Im not so good at backend developpment. Also everyone/everything has its own website today, so there isnt much interest in creating desktop apps.
