What do programmers do when they get old?

Many years later, on the morning of my 60-year-old day, I got up and went to the park for morning exercises. Then I came back to cook breakfast (I learned how to cook at the age of 50 ), after sending the grandson to school, it's just. Because the monthly ticket is limited since January 1, 2020, this month is a single month, so you can only squeeze the subway. There are as many people as ever. A young man wants to give me his seat and look at his body. I said no, you do it too. Today we are all programmers.

When I came to the company, the new eye-catching rule on the wall always made me uncomfortable: All server-side languages must use come, and mobile-side languages use swallow, if programs are still written in Java, C, go, and swift languages, a fine of 500 yuan will be imposed. I don't know how many new languages I can learn. after 40 years of work, I have used more than one hundred programming languages ......
At ten o'clock A.M., after 00, the Team Leader ran over and told me that the pool was huge. Did you use the new smart watch UI? It seems that something went wrong. I said that old Wang did this last week. He shouldn't have done the UI for a long time. He didn't come this week. It is said that he has atherosclerosis. Well, you can change it for him ......
This morning, the boss received two home office applications, including Lao Feng. The reason for application is: Poor waist. Sitting and standing can not solve the problem, you can only install the screen on the ceiling, lay programming. I am okay. I have been playing badminton. I have a good waist and good health. But at noon today, there was no appetite. Because of a toothache, all kinds of teeth began to loosen, so I had to pick some soft food in the canteen.
Department meetings in the afternoon. I found that the only 70-Year-Old Master Program (the main programmer) has much lower memory. After talking about the implementation of the 8th feature points, I suddenly came up with a sentence: Well, the above is 1st points. Now we can say 2nd points. We have been talking about till work. Why did I not remind him of it? In fact, I reminded him 13 times in total. Don't worry about him. He will retire when he is 65 years old next year.
After the assignment to the demand, my job in the afternoon is to draw the interface and fill in the Form. I have been very skilled in this job for decades and the coding time is always the happiest, without knowing it, it will be 10 o'clock in the evening. Go home. You can take a taxi after.
When I got home at, the Food went cold and the children fell asleep. I am lying in a cold bed, opening a book "Come programming practices" to start reading. Programmers are a lifelong learning industry ......

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing this, it is estimated that most of the programmer's readers are broken ...... Don't worry. If you don't read mactalk, the night scene is miserable. Everything you read is okay!
I started to write the first line of code on the topic "programmers are getting older. At that time, when I was a young man, I was so young that the middle-aged and old people seemed to be in the next century. I sometimes write code in the Alps, and sometimes Debug programs along the path of heaven. Only the programmers who have been nearly thirty years old will talk about this topic, as if they have seen the boundless and rolling over the Yangtze River.
Soon, I stood at the Thirty-Year-Old crossroads and looked around. There was no road in the other three directions and I had to move forward, so I reluctantly moved to the gold separation line, the age of 35, or the lifeline of a programmer. I don't know which of the following experts drew such a line for our programmers: Three hundred and sixty rows, and the rows are the highest. Why is this line available only to programmers? Google Baidu: "Programmer 35 years old 」, it's all about the sensational words "not a 35-Year-Old programmer", "technology-old Phobia", "turning to management after 35-Year-Old programmers should plan X things, when I think that I have not planned these things, I am desperate. what may happen on the day of my 35-year-old birthday, for example, programming, presentation, writing, and design skills will all disappear from cloud computing? May I be unable to keep up with the development of the times? I may be fired, I guess.
My 35-year-old birthday has passed. Apart from receiving a birthday gift, nothing has happened. I am still living on programming, speaking, writing, and designing products, and everything has become better.
I don't believe in my age anymore ......
Looking back, I found that some of my friends who were passionate about programming and full of life turned into technical experts in a certain field. While doing products, I was busy preaching and writing books; some operators or large or small companies are still writing programs; some have designed software products used by tens of millions of people; some have become pure managers, it operates institutions with thousands of people. They are all programmers.
Programmers who are not interested in technology and products, who are simply using programming as a tool for life, are those who cannot learn for life. Let's send the opening text to these people. I hope they can see this article before the age of 40.
It is also a pseudo proposition about the programmer's transfer. No one's occupation remains unchanged. Today, you are considering whether to use IP tunneling or direct routing for LVS, and whether to use Weighted Round Robin or least link for load scheduling, in ten years, you may want to add product features and read users' consumption psychology. Time will drive you to constantly choose your own path.
If continuous programming can maximize your value, it will be programming. Too many profound and complex technologies require long-term accumulation and practice to become complex and simple, please go all the way to the tech giants.
If the design product can maximize your value, design the product. The modern world is no longer an age in which aesthetics, art, and electronic products and software are irrelevant, people are paying more and more attention to product experience and artistic aesthetics. If you know the beauty of the product, you can estimate how long the product can be developed, understand some development details, and do not know how many programmers can be abused, think about how beautiful this scenario is.
If a company can maximize your value, start a business, recruit comrades, serve partners, provide products, and create your own sky.
If you give a speech ...... If you consult ...... If the market ......, Obviously, the programmers I see have unlimited possibilities in the future, and our biggest advantage is that these guys can even write code, which is really cool!
Of course, we programmers should not be too complacent. while working in a certain field, do not forget to broaden their knowledge. If a person's field is too professional, after a while, you may find that your profession is outdated. If a person has a wide range of knowledge, with the cooperation of lifelong education, your major can change with the changes of the times.
In addition, when debugging a program or program, the programmer should avoid these whispers:
　　This is impossible!
It's okay on my machine!
No ......
It must be the question of old Feng next door!
Why?

Every time you say less, you can make a big step forward!
Finally, let's say a few words to a reader who is not a programmer. If you have a programmer around, you must be nice to them. If you do not know the technology, don't say it is easy to implement to the programmer, I usually give them more gifts. If they are not happy, please eat haidilao. If they do not work overtime, they will be given a raise. If they do not have a girlfriend, they will introduce them to their girlfriends, they haven't subscribed to mactalk yet, so they can subscribe quickly ...... You will be rewarded.
After a year, when you flip this article again by chance, you may say, well, there is still some truth this old guy says!
