A programmer's messy life

Maybe life is like this. You can make others happy.ProgramAnd inadvertently make your life messy.

Recently, an image was posted on the Internet. On the screen, two programmers were standing on the street, shouting and falling asleep. They set up a brand: Jingle web service, starting with Java and C ++ 5. It is like recruiting migrant workers from employers. It is not ruled out that a photo may have a gimmick, but it does reflect the current status of the IT industry from a certain angle. With emotion.

I am also a programmer, IT people. I first entered this line, and I was interested in it. I envy the cleanliness. I don't feel confused, and I don't have to pretend in front of my boss. I can relax freely, after the task is completed, click OK. However, even a better wish cannot go out of the "No Scenery near" Strange Circle, probably, there is a flower that is only suitable for the fog to see, and the IT industry is such a flower.

My work is mainly for power systems and database development. In the past five years, I have been immersed in it. During these years, I have fully experienced a fast and exciting speed. The operating system has been upgraded many times and the tools are constantly updated. The rapid development of technology has put everyone in the IT industry under unprecedented pressure. Some people are overwhelmed and have been turning around. Sina technology has made a survey on the status of IT personnel, the content covers ten items, including work pressure, inner feelings, income satisfaction, current most confusing things, and what we want to do most. The online voting results of more than 0.13 million people show that only nearly 6% of them are relatively satisfied with their work, and 31.77% of them feel that their future is slim; 93.60% of people think they are facing major or minor life pressure. More than half of them say they are engaged in the IT industry, which affects their normal interaction with Friends of the opposite sex. And so on. In short, "the survival status is worrying ". We can retain doubts about the above data. However, as the industry gradually matures, practitioners surge, and profits are balanced, it is true that the aura of it is obviously fading from the previous.

It is reported that there is a new national policy, and the software industry will not evaluate the title, so it will be used for evaluation. In this case, if you don't have any qualifications or knowledge, you will soon return to zero. It's cruel to think about the future. If you have worked hard for more than ten years and cannot climb a leadership position, you will have to be dismissed. Xiao Huang sulfur ammonia feeding the penalty Jing Xi AO ar huang qiang shake! How can it be solved when the xiqiao Xianzhi block Huigu? The whip is drawn on the back, complaining that it is useless. You have to stick to it on your own, but earn more money while you are young and buy insurance for the future. The employee's throat is in his own hand.

Stress is one aspect. However, in many cases, the most difficult thing is the unspeakable loneliness. When a person is sitting on a cold computer, it takes a long time. There is no working atmosphere, no joke from colleagues, no one faces failure together, And no one shares the joy of success. Dull and depressing. The vast majority of external contacts are also carried out through netmeeting, OICQ, and other network tools. Perhaps, to some extent, we are isolated from the rest of the world.

In the morning, I went to a University near my company to "charge ". When I had a hard time thinking about a software problem, a cute girl walked by me, and I felt that she had come and gone several times, and every time she looked at me. This stirred me up with a crush and subconsciously wiped the rubber on the paper. I simply put away my pen and paper, and thought with a single mind, why do I think about what I mean when I look at my eyes? The answer is: lonely. Since I became a programmer, I have been involved in many topics, but I have never been able to figure out a beautiful marriage for myself. So far, I have been alone. Old Students always like to describe this. When your programmers are tapping on the keyboard in the dark, it's like a ghost tapping the midnight door. Isn't that a ghost?

I don't know how far I can go in this "ghost" Life. Once I had dinner with a senior brother, I told him about the idea of "software factory. In my opinion, in the near future, with the maturity of software component standardization, many software factories will emerge, like the manual workshops in the feudal society, which will be replaced by the steam engine workshops of capitalism. I also mentioned communication between major online game platforms. I think every game is like a virtual tribe, similar to the primitive human society tribe. With the development, communication between them is necessary for "cultural" communication ". Maybe my idea is naive, but this kind of passion still makes me feel at the neck of my career prospects. If possible, I want to continue working as a programmer, use enthusiasm and wisdom to create a future. I like this kind of Chivalrous knight life. However, the change in the status quo is quite distressing. A very good programmer, how to do it has become the current bear-like ??? Is the IT industry suffering us, or is it suffering?

Tomorrow, I will still get up early, walk for ten minutes to the station to drive the car; still want to look at the unchanged scenery outside the window, to a fixed place. Maybe life is like this. You can build a happy program for others, but inadvertently make your own life messy. I don't have much luxury. I just hope that one day I will not lie on the street like the two programmers on the picture and sell the program of "5 yuan a line.
