What is like being a programmer ?
In fact is really hard describing it , but who here is a programmer he/she really gets me . Programming gets on my nerves when it does not work the way i want it to, but on the other side it is my passion . And when i discovered that i actually was pretty good at it , it became my lifegoal . I've been learning to program since i was 17 and i am now 23 . So it's been some years . I've been trying different programming languages by far , starting with the junior package : Python , C , C++ and then i learnt the HTML , PHP and .Net . I really like how programming has been developed since the very first language until now , and i think it is still on progress , since we programmers are changing the versions of languages like the versions of androids . Joking !
So i work as a Project Engineer and i have my own team of programmers and together we develop different types of projects starting from little requests by clients like programming web services or video-games or mobile apps and we have worked also in some big campaigns here in my country . Now currently we are working on a web-service for the government about paying bills and taxes online . In your countries I believe this is already available but in ours not . We are planning to compete this year for the electronic voting that is going to happen this summer but i am not really sure about participating because it really is a big responsibility and i don't want a bug to put me to jail . Still joking .
The importance that technology and the way it works has an tremendous effect in me , and somehow i really want to share that with all the youth of my country because they are not really aware of how it works or how it is made .And i feel very sorry for that . They just login on Facebook or other social media accounts and they just click a button without realizing what they are doing . And i know that this happens in lots of countries , mostly undeveloped well . But i really want them to know that in the backstage of that interface , are hiding millions of coding lines just to make that interface runs well . But they don't see it , they don't understand and this is what angers me the most , because they are young , they are supposed to get stuff and to understand better of their surroundings . I adore the culture of the third aged or the middle aged people that at least try to understand technology and express their curiosity .
Dear young people now we are living on the tech age , we are building our future on this period of time , and we should be prepared for what comes next , because technology evolves fast . It does not wait for you to keep up with it .
