Writing to tomorrow's software engineers-insights

Write to all my students ......

I'm glad that you have chosen the software industry, an industry that is full of opportunities and challenges, and an industry that allows you to achieve your ideals but has frustrated you countless times, an industry that allows you to show your talents but often doubt your abilities from curiosity to liking to dislike to your favorite, an industry that makes you more mature and brave.

As a developer of software development, we should first love our own business. Programming for beginners is a very hard but happy thing. I still remember that when I first came into contact with software development many years ago, I was familiar with a group of friends who had a common hobby, stay up late for a project and discuss all kinds of problems encountered during development. Besides technology and friendship; finally, we can see that the system we developed can run smoothly, be accessed by countless people, and bring convenience to everyone's learning and work. We are only excited and excited. Although those days were hard, they were full of happiness. Sometimes it was a time that I missed most in college years.

Some people say that a software developer who has experienced thousands of debugging errors has a more mature attitude towards life, because he can stand up and solve the problems one by one in the face of thousands of failures, finally, the software is successfully developed. This is not the case in your life. It is filled with all sorts of difficulties and doubts, and you need to face them and solve them one by one. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As a beginner, you may not feel so much at the moment, but what I need to tell you is that the fun and annoyance of Software Development coexist.

Software development is full of fun. This happiness comes from the constant creation of new things. When you discover a software from nothing, and when you see a good desire to become a software that can be operated, you will find that software development is full of fun, which must be realized by yourself. Such happiness comes from what development is useful to others, when you see tens of millions of people using your software and accessing your designed website, you will find that your efforts are so worthwhile, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment leaves all the fatigue and fatigue behind. This happiness comes from the powerful charm of the software itself. When you see the code in the segment that is assembled like a pair of parts, when you run it in a subtle way that you cannot imagine and produce the expected results, you feel that the cold code on the display screen is so vivid at the moment that they are implementing your thoughts, work for you. This joy comes from a group of people working together to achieve a common goal. The Joy of teamwork lies in that you are not fighting alone, when you understand the tacit understanding between yourself and your companions, you gain more than just technology, including friendship and spirit. This happiness comes from continuous learning, when you find that you have mastered a new skill and integrated it into your development Software is an exciting thing in itself. This happiness also comes from the media you control. You are working on a computer and you are no longer simply a computer user, it has gradually become a person who uses computers to realize his own ideas, from a person who "knows computers" to a person who understands computers.

Of course, in addition to being happy in the software development process, there will also be a variety of troubles. These troubles come from your pursuit of perfection. You are tired of debugging the code all night and trying to find out all the bugs. Some bugs are playing with you, and you get nothing when you try to find them, looking back, the bug is in the dark; these troubles come from setting goals, providing resources, and providing information for others. Even better software engineers also need to face customers and the market, as a result, you have to hide some beautiful but unrealistic ideas in your heart and develop software that is more suitable and economically valuable under some external environment restrictions. Maybe you don't like it, but this is your job. These troubles come from countless repetitive jobs. When you find yourself repeating similar jobs, you may feel bored and bored, especially when you find a bug again and forget how it was solved. These troubles come from the rapid development of the software industry, when you forget and study a technology, you will find that it is slowly outdated. When you finish a software program all night long, several twists and turns, you will find that others have completed it before you.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Since we have chosen the software industry, we should do our best to learn it well. Select what you love and what you love. We should believe that the software industry is a vibrant, dynamic, and promising industry, with perseverance and patience in the near future, you must be an outstanding software engineer.

I suddenly think of a sentence that has been circulating on the Internet a long time ago: If you hate a person, let him learn software. If you love someone, let him learn software!
