See discussion in full swing, I have to gossip about the issue "older programmer". Of course, the so-called older, of course, is more than 30-year-old software developer, their future is how to choose? It is an interesting thing.
The future of older programmers, the main choice is these kind: to continue farming code, do management, entrepreneurship, and career change. First is about the situation of farming code in a large country like China's population, graduates each year millions of students, and therefore implies the need to continue farming code physical fight with the young people, to work overtime to fight, fight 997, this kind of work environment below, it is too much for a great alternative. If you enter the code to senior farmers, it would need to see whether companies have the resources to support it? Throughout Chinese companies, the basic is C2C (copy to china), should not many operating systems, compilers, software, or mobile operating system, can support any kind of senior programmer, unlike MS as the operating system has been deeply demand, unlike this has in-depth research into GOOGLE, GOOGLE browser such as JS virtual machine on the possessor of a person that specializes in the development, development has been more than 30 years, there will continue to optimize but Chinese companies will be few leaders such money invested, because there are more places makes it easier to make money.
Choose to do management is the main way out, but managers in all business together, it is not much, according to general corporate standard is 10-20 developer was equipped with a manager. That said, this is a knockout 10 to 1, and the other nine older programmers to where it?
If not for the family, who wants to wander
Entrepreneurship, but also older programmers a way out. This should be the main way older programmers, as long as you innovation, can result in good company. Of course not let you start, become Ma, but a work for themselves, enough money to eat. Now is the Internet, the mobile Internet era, more demand came out, everyone can be from the media, since the release of the software, and so on.
The last one, is to switch to using older software programmers thinking to transform all walks of life. For example, to train children playing robot, training, etc. to business entities, or by using software automation thinking to grow vegetables.
This article is just talk, do not recognize can be ignored too. Anyway that man's physical strength is always limited, is also a peak, after over 30, that decline, even if the preparation and audit continues yard farming, but also local codes, key codes, so that older programmers the future is worrying, to make enough money until after the age of 30, otherwise unsustainable. Because you are to take life-time and 997 to change money, the body in super overdraft, even if, like cattle Kai-fu Lee teacher, will be difficult to sustain. Cherish what you have at the moment!
This community is willing to treat programmers, because they are to make the world more beautiful by their own code!
In this regard, the junior partner What do you think of it?
Programmers still find a way to try to be ahead of career planning and preparation, what do not say: "step, step count," the words. In this era of open eyes is the competition, you can relax, but others will continue to move forward, we will not wait for you.
There is a good old saying: "than you are the best opponents in learning, your enemy in sharpening your girlfriends on a diet, the next Pharaoh in practice waist, we must continue to learn, or we'll be beyond the learner." Of course a people learning is boring, but also a good learning atmosphere, so I set up a community learning exchanges to explore, welcomed everyone will work together to explore exchanges and common progress. There are a number of data collected, the interest can be added to group "571 617 441" to learn together and progress together!
