Miserable programmers and miserable programmers

I try to tell you something about programmers in a peaceful tone.

1.

I have worked in a company called Motorola, where 50% of people are doing things all day, urging another 25% of people to endlessly solve the bugs caused by the remaining 25%. I am a programmer. I break down my computer every day and you will find that I have never left anything in my life. Most people don't even think about how we use cell phones, including whether we have a Lego family kit.

When my lovely mother-in-law introduced me to her relatives and friends, she always said with pride, he works at Motorola (after I leave Motorola, they will say, hePreviousWorking at Motorola ). Then those bad-luck relatives and friends will speak in an expert and close-to-mouth tone. How many times can you tell me ?... Can you fix the problem if the screen in novogene is not salty?

Similar things happen frequently when I just graduated. People will sigh with sorrow when they hear the University of Posts and Telecommunications: The post office is not doing well, and express delivery is also a physical work...

My colleague met the customer this afternoon. It took us more than an hour to explain why our client received a complete picture (although it timed out) then the same request occurs again, and after receiving the response in 3 seconds, it still cannot be displayed. "Related departments" can be "not explained", but programmers cannot be vague at all.

Then another colleague sent me a link about a miserable reminder on the other side of the ocean.Programmer Ashton's storyHttp://www.zhuoqun.net/html/y2010/1565.html ). "No line of code he wrote has been run. Nothing he has done in the past two years has had any impact on the world ."

Although I understand from my heart that there are still more people living in this world than me, I still can't help but feel sad, almost against the flow.

I try to write code every day. I will relax at the joke version of shuimu Tsinghua, or look at the beautiful pictures that don't show off. I also read some news from the industry. Those dogs talk about "Innovation, user experience, and agile development" every day, but never contribute even one line of code to the world. I also use free online translation software to give every variable in the Code an authentic English name, at least to make Indian colleagues look more readable.

I have a younger brother who had to program at night because of his work. On the night of his fall in love, we were drinking together. He burst into tears and said to me, in fact, he felt that the most sad thing was that he was not even as good as the lady sitting on the desk. They could make extra money, but this is my life.

I had a dinner with several alumni last month. One of the 26-year-olds had never had much to eat. At last, he said very heavily, fearing that he would have to be a programmer in his life... we looked at each other in the form of traversal with shame at the longest 12 years of programming. The air in the compartment was filled with grief and despair.

I tried to recall every piece of film that had appeared as a programmer and found that these people were not prospects or backgrounds, and they were always out of focus. Sometimes they will have a lucky face when they get rid of some systems, but soon they will die in a bad way (such as being dragged by a mouse or a computer that slides down, not even shot or exploded like the protagonist. They don't have a name car, no female and sex, and they have up to one pet lizard that looks like me.

That night I had a dream that there was a general power switch in the world. The evil octopus doctor grabbed the switch with his hand (he had eight hands, then I did nothing for a lifetime.

My wife tells me about the fun things in their office every day after work. For example, if a and B are in conflict, then B sends the annual payroll of A to all colleagues... I also told her about our interesting thing: the code written by a confuses mutex and semaphores, And the execution result is always correct and wrong, B gave him a code review and removed the mutex and semaphores, and found that the correct results can be obtained even if they are not needed at all, because everything is running in the same thread...

As you know, there are two types of people in this world that can never understand the humor and smile of programmers. One is a programmer who can't program, and the other is a person without a sense of humor. As kJ of a dog's day said, there are two types of people in the world: programmers and programmers.

Non-programmers can require programmers to improve their cultural quality and manners, but programmers cannot require non-programmers to have a more rational attitude and objective and scientific spirit when discussing things and things. This is also the family life principle of my wife and I.

I know some of my friends who are screenwriters and painters. The work of these two unlucky guys has never been seen in this world in a public way. But it's okay for all people to comfort them with patience and love. One day you'll be in Hollywood or at Christie's auction. However, every time these Snoop eyes see me, they will use an unexpected mentality. in a tone of concern and regret, how are you still programming? They will never comfort me and say that one day you will become Bill Gates, even if it is Wang Jiangmin, even though he has died young.

Zhe people said that you cater to the world, not the world. In order to cater to this world, I had to do something in addition to programming, just to make myself a programmer who is not so common. The world may be yours or yours, but it is not a programmer. Even though all the power-in tasks in this world basically run the code written by anonymous programmers in one line.

I have to look at some big headlines, not ghost blowing, but at least those things of the Ming Dynasty so that they can at least talk about things in the 15th year of the calendar, occasionally, you can also have fun. I recently read a book titled advanced superstition. I bet you may not understand it whether you are a programmer or not.

I have bought slrs and cameras. Although they are all used-handed, I believe that what matters is not the camera but the head behind the camera, just like all people who cannot afford the equipment.

I am still listening to rock, although most of their iPod's stuff is just a little petty. At least I have my own taste.

Some of my programmers, colleagues and friends, went hiking, some learned to adjust their drinks (because they could not learn to adjust their girls), and others played SM with themselves. Because programmers belong to a simple enough person in this complicated world, with simple personality, simple hobbies, and even simple behavior. Sometimes they just want to attract people around them to pay enough attention to their own programmer friends or programmer's family, just like your puppy.

Sometimes I write out some programming experiences, insert some nonsense and post it to my blog. I never know when and where the code I wrote was running, but I can clearly see how many people visited my blog (although some people were just mistaken ), how many others leave a message (although most of them are "top" or "shit ). But thanks to them, in the middle of the night I stroked these inexplicable visitor records on the screen, and felt like my gray binary programmer's life turned into an 8-digit light: red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white.

For programmers, the best world is the world where we can program without any worries. We can be proud to say that "I want to compile a journey for a lifetime, those who are not programmers serve as programmers and instructors in the world like iPad.
