Programmer's Choice-the real story

Choose to be a programmer this road has been nearly 7 years, which has faced a variety of direction choices, there is no right and wrong, can happy life is good.

Story One:

Last year, I met a technical director of another company, a, graduated in 06, has been doing Linux kernel driver development since graduation. Because of an Android app project, their company has had some cooperation with our company. At that time I was responsible for the application and hardware socket Communication module development, he is responsible for the hardware part of the communication module. In this way two people drank a couple of times and began to become familiar. He said he hated the Linux kernel development, the boring code, the boring projects, and the difficulty of seeing their own artifacts. He particularly wants to do the development of upper-level applications such as Android, from the bottom-up transformation is his dream. A year after the project was over, I contacted him a few days ago and asked him what he was doing now, saying he had read a post-graduate student and had now transformed into a project manager.

He was happy to hear about his change. From chatting with him, I've felt his loss, as well as the frustration of not seeing visual results. May everything be all right with him.

Story two: my classmates

My classmates are basically driven by me to be a programmer. 08 College graduation, should be to do the teacher we do not want to do the slightest idea of teachers, so I bought this ASP book read two months later, to find an ASP work. And my classmates have been thinking to do sales, so sold insurance also sold a ballpoint pen, also sold eggs. Sell eggs also did not succeed, I bought a bottle of 4.5 yuan money a bottle of Erguotou (at that time really very poor, we are relatively independent, even if the body of a penny is not, will not find home to money, once because there is no money to do the bus, I walked two hours after work to rent the house inside), two people don't know the cardinal points He decided to be a programmer too. , first ASP, then he was very interested in net, and then turned to the ASP, now dedicated to their company to do the front-end, do HTML5, write JavaScript. The day is very easy, also never has not worked overtime, usually drinks the drink to play the game, also is this. It's a question that I've never found a girlfriend.

Story three: my colleague

My colleague is also a wonderful work, since 07 graduation so far has not changed jobs, so I always open his jokes when to break the place, like to now still no girlfriend. Our company size can be, about 1000 programmers, has been doing on-day outsourcing. So he just into the division is to learn Japanese, do NET development, to Japan, do net development, after returning home or do net development, so now even CSS will not. Once drunk he drank too much, speaking of his sore spot after tears straight. He wants to change jobs, but he doesn't know what else he can do out of the company, he will. All of them are based on the Japanese-written framework revision. Some days ago, his department was cut, they either voluntarily left, or diverted to other departments, he talked to me many times, asked me what to do, I really want to persuade him to leave, but also try to persuade him to change a fresh environment to try. But he finally chose to split the pay cut to other departments, two years ago he had been reduced to a salary. Maybe he hasn't really come out of the campus that kind of life feeling.

Story four: my colleague

This colleague graduated in 13 with good development skills and some ideas, so I did some C + + projects with me. A few days ago, I saw him learning PHP, I asked him how he would think to learn PHP? His answer made me a little surprised, he just likes PHP, and feel that after the opening of the year immediately leave to specifically do PHP. In fact, I think this is also very good, like good, like change is good. Bless him to succeed, perhaps next year can help him to recommend to my colleague's company, it is basically to do PHP for many years of colleagues.

Story five: My Own

My choice in fact should be considered worse, never willing to do the teacher to do ASP programmer, and then learn PHP, and then even completely give up BS self-taught automatic control and PLC programming (there is a successful actual project OH), Because I was shocked by the 380V once and witnessed because the steel cable is broken to make a crew lose a leg, I scare back to do PHP, but because can not forget all kinds of hardware equipment to run the spectacular scene, and did not have the courage to do equipment automation control, and then learn C + +. There are several C + + projects that have actually been applied to it. During this time, I did several Android projects (interests). My choice is disorganized, so now I am still a variety of confusion how to transform, even I have tried to go to TCM University, asked if they are willing to recruit students like me. They asked me to start with the college entrance examination, but I was 30. The company leader asked me if I was willing to do the project manager or something, I chose to refuse, at least now I choose to do the project manager is not suitable for me, because I am still looking around for what I want to do.

Programmer's Choice seems to be a lot of, at least from one language to another language, you can choose to do management and so on. Outsourcing is also irrelevant, at least from a variety of messy projects to find their favorite. But choose to do it and try it once. Of course, the most important thing is to find the other half, more home to see Mom and dad, but also for their own better.
