When we are no longer young

In this age, there are many young people who carry graduation certificates of various majors and are not waiting to lose textbooks that are not fully understood, with the great ideals of Jiangshan and the vision of fame and fortune, it is a "high-tech" industry. A few years ago, I was surrounded by various advocates: the voices of public opinion are all talking about young and wealthy it celebrities. For a young man who has a sense of accomplishment and is eager to be recognized by others, this is an irresistible temptation, so I believe that the IT industry, like the legend above, can work hard for a few years to coder, turn to the next line for management, and earn a full purse, then kick off these hard work, to be a "successful person" who enjoys his life ".

Funny, at least today I look back: our so-called high-tech industry is full of short-term behaviors. Too many people want to eat their youth meals, get rich overnight, and get a vote. This is definitely a disaster for an industry. In addition, the so-called high-tech industry itself ignores the value of old technical personnel and uses human and sea tactics to solve the problem. As a result, the industry falls into a strange circle: because of the lack of experienced procedures, we can only do low-level physical labor, so we are more dependent on personal physical strength rather than wisdom ?? It should have been a development industry that represents wisdom and honor and has become a labor-intensive small workshop. How absurd this is!

Fortunately, this old guy saves me a lot of moisture. Every time he sees a guy sitting next to me, he will make a naive and cute look, so that we can "cheat" Some other technologies from our predecessors. When asked about future career choices, I will tell them seriously that I want to write a program, and I hope I can keep working as a code-writing programmer, do not leave my beloved keyboard and development tools. Even if the financial return is not as attractive as my peers, it doesn't matter. Maybe I have no management talent. if I focus on project management and market business, I may be able to earn much more money than I do now. But can I still enjoy this smart experience?

The passage of time took away my blind energy, but I was still passionate and did not feel powerless. It seems to me that a technological transformation that is full of pain and hardship can already be faced with a smile. In my several years of employment, I have to learn a new language almost every year. Every two years, my understanding of development technology will undergo great progress and transformation. Now I understand that various languages are just familiar with algorithms and data structures. I just changed my vest. Is there at most a little tension ?? Well, just like a strange beauty sitting around me, I still don't know how to say hello to others. Of course, every programming technology and every development field has its own ideas, problems, methods, and confusions. However, these problems can be solved through learning. Pascal's rigor, the beauty of C ++, the pragmatism of Java, the flexibility of Python, the beauty of SQL, and the cost of familiarity with memory can help us understand the beauty of another side of the world, why not? Of course, this requires time, experience, and polishing. If you have not prepared for it for more years, you should choose a path that suits you better.

There are always some people in this world who can make up for the lack of experience with their own genius and inspiration. In the widely spread it stories, there are many such geniuses, their ages and wealth, it is a media record. However, no matter how close a genius is to us, it does not mean that we are also a genius. I understand this truth for a long time. No matter how many days I read a biography, it cannot make me feel nervous and confused when I first face SQL scripts. When I write SQL statements and repeat the select, delete, insert, and update statements hundreds of times, I would not think of writing SQL technical articles to others one day, we can also get everyone's confirmation.

Wisdom is unfair. Some of us cannot achieve the success of ordinary people all their lives. But it is also the most fair. The more efforts you make, the more you will return. Although, you may not find it. Discovering Your Own Wisdom is also a kind of wisdom. Program Development is a profession that relies on wisdom. It requires us to accumulate experience with time, boring exercises, and hard work, in exchange for being calm in the face of problems.

Don't expect to be favored by the goddess overnight. We should insist on offering her a sincere smile every day. One day, she will return on the time you have contributed. Don't worry that she doesn't abandon your youth any longer. She appreciates your maturity more. The insights accumulated through hard work are more valuable than the talents of the sky. In the past, when we were young and shining on the entire computer scientific community, how did Gartner not write the art of computer programming?

Maturity is not equal to aging, and youth is not equal to flexibility. We cannot see enough height before we accumulate enough knowledge. When a certain program is accumulated, the learning speed or creativity is not necessarily inferior to that of young people. In another way, experience and technology will not be abandoned, and their overall capabilities will surprise you. With a young heart, you will be able to constantly appreciate the joy of discovering wisdom.

I believe that more and more people will recognize the value of experience for programmers, not only ourselves, but also our smart industry.
