When the programmer is old

Many years later, on the morning of my 60th birthday, I just got up and got up. I went to the park for morning exercise, then came back to breakfast, and sent my grandson to school, just 8 o'clock. Since Beijing has been restricted from one to two months in 2020, this month is a single month, so it can only be squeezed by MRT. As many people as before, a young man will give me a seat, look at his small body, I said no, you are also doing IT, today we are all programmers.

When I came to the company, the glare on the wall always made me very uncomfortable: all server-side languages ​​must use Come, mobile-side languages ​​use Swallow, and still write in Java, C, Go, and Swift. Program, fine 500 yuan. I don't know that I can learn a few new languages. I have worked for forty years. I have used more than one hundred programming languages...

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after 00, the Team Leader came over and told me that the pool is big. Is the new watch on the smart watch control UI do you do it? It seems that something went wrong. I said that Pharaoh did it last week. He shouldn't have done UI for a long time. He didn't come this week. It is said that the arteries have hardened. Hey, then you helped him change it...

This morning, the boss received two applications for home work, including Lao Feng, the reason for the application is: bad waist. Sitting and standing can not solve the problem, only the screen can be installed on the ceiling, lying down programming. I am still okay, I have been playing badminton, my waist is good, my body is good, I am eating it. However, at noon today, there was no appetite. Because of the toothache, all kinds of teeth began to loosen, so I had to pick some soft food in the cafeteria.

The afternoon department met. I found that the only memory after the 70s had a lot of memory loss. After the implementation of the 8th function point, I suddenly came up with a sentence: Well, the above is the first point, now the second point. Until the end of work, we have been talking about the second point. After the meeting, the main course blamed me for not reminding him. In fact, I reminded him 13 times. I don't care about him. He is 65 years old next year and is going to retire.

After the assignment to the demand, the afternoon job is to draw the interface to fill out the form. This work I have done for decades, has been very skilled, the coding time is always the happiest, unconsciously at 10 o'clock in the evening. Go home, you can take a taxi after 9 o'clock.

I returned home at 11 o'clock in the evening, the food was cold, and the children were asleep. I lay on a cold bed and started a book called "Come Language Programming". The programmer is a lifelong learning industry...

------------------------------

Seeing that this is estimated that most programmers' readers are broken... Don't worry, don't read MacTalk, the evening scene is bleak, and everything is fine!

The topic of "programmers are old" is from the time I started writing the first line of code. At that time, I was twenty years old, and I was young and young. My middle-aged man and old man seemed to be the next century. It was far away. I sometimes write code in the Alps, and sometimes go to the grass along the road to debug the program, I think the world is doing nothing. Only the old programmers who are nearly 30 years old will hear the topic and will not blink, as if they saw the boundless falling wood and rolling the Yangtze River.

Soon, I stood at the crossroads of thirty years old and looked around. There were no roads in the other three directions. I could only move forward. So I moved very reluctantly to the 35-year-old golden dividing line, or the program. The lifeline of the designer. I don't know which god has painted such a line for our programmers, three hundred and sixty lines, and the top line. Why is it only for programmers to have this line? Use Google Baidu to "programmer 35 years old" "Think of not being a 35-year-old programmer", "Technical Ageing Phobia", "Going to Management after the age of 35", "The X-year-old programmer wants to plan a good X thing", think of himself I haven't planned "these things". I am desperate. What might happen on the 35th birthday, such as programming, speech, writing, design, etc. I will probably follow Not the development of the times? I may be fired, I think.

The 35th birthday has passed. Apart from receiving a birthday present, nothing has happened. I am still alive and kicking programming, speaking, writing and designing products, and everything is getting better.

No longer believe in age...

Looking back on the past, I found that those who were passionate about programming and full of ideals for life, some became technology giants in a certain field, busy doing evangelistic speeches while writing products; some operators or large Or small companies, while still writing programs; some design software products used by thousands of people; others turned into a pure manager, operating thousands of people. They are all programmers.

The programmers who are really likely to have a bad night scene are those who are not interested in technology and products. They are people who only use programming as a tool for life, and those who cannot learn for life. The opening text will be given to these people, I hope they can see this article before the age of 40.

The question about the programmer's transition is also a false proposition. No one's career is static. Today, you are considering whether LVS should use IP tunneling technology or direct routing. Load scheduling uses weighted rounds or least links. What you can do in ten years may be to increase product features and read user consumption. psychological. Time will drive you to choose your own path.

If you continue to program to maximize your value, then go to programming, too much sophisticated and complex technology requires long-term accumulation and practice to make things go awkward, please go all the way on the road of technology gods.

If designing products can maximize your value, then designing products, the modern world is no longer the era when "aesthetics, art" and "electronics, software" are unrelated. People pay more and more attention to product experience and art. Aesthetics, if you know the beauty of the product, you can estimate how long the product can be developed, and understand some development details. I don't know how many programmers can be abused. Think about how beautiful this scene is.

If you run a company that maximizes your value, start a business, recruit comrades, service partners, and provide products to create your own sky.

If the speech... If you consult... If the market..., obviously, the programmers I see will have unlimited possibilities in the future, and our biggest advantage is that these guys can even write code, which is really cool!

Of course, our programmers should not be too complacent. When you work hard in a certain field, don't forget to broaden your knowledge. If a person's field is too specialized, after a while, you may find that your major is old. If a person's knowledge is very broad, with the help of lifelong education, your profession can change with the times.

In addition, programmers should avoid these whispers when there is a problem with the debugger or program:

Nonsense, this is impossible!

I am fine on my machine!

Shouldn't...

Must be the problem of the old Feng next door!

Why didn't you have a problem?

Every time you say it, you can make a big step forward!

Finally, let's say a few words to readers who are not programmers. If you have a programmer around you, be sure to be good to them. Don't know the technology. Don't tell the programmer that it is easy to achieve. Usually send some small gifts. If you are not happy, please eat sea fishing. If you don't work overtime, you should give them a raise. If you don't have a girlfriend to introduce your girlfriend, you haven't subscribed to MacTalk and let them subscribe quickly...you will pay off.

After the year, when you accidentally turn to this article again, you may say, hey, this old guy said something else!
