all of these posts make me feel grateful that i've been able to pick up work. it also makes me wonder what i'm doing right and what all of these bloggers are doing wrong. bloggers are clearly good at marketing and communicating what they can do for a company, which is what a lot of software developers struggle with.

yep. saying, "data engineer who can turn your messy data into a data visualization or interactive map" is so much more powerful than saying "data engineer with 10 years of experience leading projects with python, aws, kubernetes"
