Being a Programmer means constantly coding, learning, reading, planning, mapping out a new creation, and thinking about how to solve a current problem or writing solutions.
As a programmer, I am constantly immersed in a world of code. Whether I am learning a new language, reading up on the latest techniques, or planning out my next project, I am always in pursuit of new knowledge and inspiration. I find immense joy in the process of creating, problem-solving, and writing solutions, and I am constantly amazed by the boundless possibilities of code. Yes, coding can be challenging at times, but for me, it is a source of endless fun and fulfillment.
Being a programmer can be both rewarding and challenging. It involves using complex languages and algorithms to create software, apps, and systems that solve problems or perform specific tasks. It can require long hours of focused work and problem-solving, as well as continuous learning to keep up with the latest technologies and techniques. Despite the challenges, many people enjoy the sense of accomplishment and creativity that comes with programming, and the field offers a wide range of career opportunities.
“Every person that you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.” — H. Jackson Brown Jr.
This is an attitude I always see in the best senior developers. Because a senior developer knows that a beginner dev or junior dev is learning all the new shortcuts a senior has missed through its first stages of learning. I find it funny to see that there’s often much competition between junior developers. There are always a few with the “I know it all” attitude in the group. Not willing to learn/share from/with others. But I can assure you, you’ll come much further if you take the attitude of “we can know it all”. One thing which makes the tech industry grow so rapidly is that we share so much. Collecting feedback is what brings us further and speeds up productivity a lot. So don’t think a beginner developer or someone who started later than you knows less than you. Stay open for a conversation, when you try to teach them something, they will teach you something in return. That’s the ingredient of rapidly growing. If you have the possibility, observe a senior developer. Adapt on how they treat others because 9/10 times they are willing to listen to any developer no matter their skill. Because they know the world of tech, no one knows it all. And everyone has learned something unique and/or has his own unique vision of things. So, don’t be an “I know it all”, be a “we know it all”. Because as cliché as it is, together we are much stronger!
