As a software engineer I often think about how laughably useless my skillset would be in any kind of survival or societal reset sort of situation.

You're a software engineer. You at least know the very basics of digital electronics, and can probably work your way backward to rudimentary power supplies.

You are far from fucked.

Mathematicians though? Oof I worry about them, if they did anything too practical they'd be physicists.

That's where you're wrong bucko!

I'm a software engineer skilled in devops, Linux and web applications! I spent much of today making Jira tickets and drawing diagrams!

I'm so fucked
