The programmer and The Eagle

Programmers should be as agile as eagles, with a long-term vision to see the future and development of it.

But what I'm going to say here is another legend about the eagle-a legend that represents the brave.

The Eagle is the world's longest-lived bird, with a life expectancy of up to 70 years. But the eagle who can live so long life is less than half the proportion, although the eagle eye sharp, very fierce, vigorous, but at the age of 40, but it faced a painful metamorphosis, it must make a painful and very crucial decision. Because when the eagle lived to the age of 40, its claws began to age, unable to effectively catch the prey, its beak gradually became long and curved, almost hit the chest, and its wings because the feathers are thick and thicker, so it becomes very heavy, also makes the flight more difficult.

This time the eagle has only two options: death, or a very painful metamorphosis: it must build a special nest on the cliff, and stop there, not fly, for a 150-day hard transition process. The Eagle first taps the rock with its beak until it completely falls off, then silently waits for the new beak to grow. Then, with a new beak, he pulled out the original paw, one at a time. Then, when the new claws grow out, the thick and dense feathers of the body are pulled out of a root. Five months later, the new feathers grow out, the eagle will be reborn and can soar in the sky, it can be more than 30 years to spread the wings of the years.

Now domestic programmers are puzzled by a 30-year-old problem, the problem does exist in the domestic and very serious, I think this problem and the Eagle's legendary story is similar, if the programmer to 30 years of age, not after the painful metamorphosis, it is difficult to mix up in the IT industry. Of course not generalize, most programmers to 30 years old, or continue to write common code, this time, the company generally like to use young new or fresh graduates, then if the programmer can continue to improve themselves, study hard, to achieve management, or beyond the stage of writing code, For example, to become a system analyst or project manager, specifically to do the module division, software architecture, and so on, after a difficult transition process, once again become the elite of the IT industry.

The above purely personal point of view, I would like to invite you to the IT industry elite, prawns, shrimp criticism.
