If you're a programmer in Top1% of class people of God, then you can certainly work very decent old, all programmers worried about the future prospects for you do not exist, the following content can be ignored.
If you are not gifted program in this area, then for you, it is very necessary to keep abreast of the most scarce technical follow-up, lack of embedded development on the market to upgrade their embedded development, market needs IOS IOS development on learning and development, and constantly refresh their knowledge storage, "code farmers," the word is very good, tomato farmer is able to sell at high prices not to plant cabbage, missing what code to write what code went on the market, advancing with the times, this can greatly extend the life of your programmer.
Looking for long-term work unit can do a very important, some units effective, personnel, raising a number of over-age programmers do not care, the role of mentoring the starting point for this type of company can not spend much money, cut old people also need to give a large sum of compensation ....... I think, Microsoft, Google BAT so that domestic companies will be some older programmers, outsiders think they are cattle, a long time they have to see themselves not think cattle in fact they may just find a smack too much trouble to open out their work only, not really cattle, of course, there will be cattle, but where all are scarce, and what age do the job do not necessarily related. You see those big state-owned enterprises, organizations and institutions, a group of senior engineer Zhang Gong Wang Gong Li's what 50-year-old still doing programming, technology does not mean they are necessarily bad, but they would not let the unit programmed not know how to house them.
30 years old, I would like to clear up this point, so expect to hit 20% of the remuneration to the state-owned enterprises, they only can be long, but the next thing is not fun, that state-owned enterprises in Shenzhen have a piece of land, is a "multi-management" of foreign fancy, it acquired state-owned company in Shenzhen, aim at foreign real estate, these IT professionals to the pen we all severance compensation. I have wanted to come, which I later degenerated into a programmer project manager fuse.
If neither is programmed Daniel, they do not want to pin their hopes on the old-age, want to have control, you can simply rely on their programming skills over a lifetime?
It can be said of today's programmers and 20, 30 years ago, programmers essentially different, programmers today is increasingly becoming part of a system, a process complicated work, the end of the century, the more I felt programmer job to the more boring, as a programmer, I wrote at that time was still grumbling text, is one of the following segments:
"programmer new era ..... when they enter trance in the so-called information age, but found himself no longer dominate the whole system they have been unable to complete the entire system alone, not even as a developer of systems play a decisive role they can only work to a certain part of the system: a part or less important part of the more important .. .... it is a painful fact, iT industry and the development of all mature industries, celebrated its technological era of individualism prevailed. as the machinery industry will not have watt, predicted that people will not be out of physics Einstein and Newton as information technology world of personal hero will become increasingly scarce. personal inspiration, like its own way concept necessarily be divided , Collaboration, systems analysis replace. Computer company may not need abstract computer wizard, they might need a more careful consideration of professionals and systems analysts several menus, reports, data storage or communications. Programmers also have to spend getting plenty of time to read the program description and function of others, you have to consider the interface, black box, like the stereotypical naming problem. in this world, flexibility and creativity will be less and less, and empirical an increasing number of regulations. "
From" lonely master -------- era of personal computer technology hero "(author: MO too)
Programmers want to really control their own destiny, they should return to the original essence of fun and programmers, independently and deliver results, not just meet as a process or a type of work exists, but exists as a craftsman , like the leather shoemaker made of leather, piano violin maker will be made of wood, like, on their own rather than a factory. Two decades ago, WPS1.0 almost a complete independent programmers, Microsoft has won the favor of DOS1.0 IBM also small workshops by very few programmers to complete, this is the year of glory programmer, today's program increasingly the more complex, but also in the development of programming tools, this traditional craftsmen still be seen in earlier versions of some open source projects; in the mobile Internet business projects, but also occasionally to see a continuation of this spirit.
Said earlier, "employed persons" around me, over 40 years old still mainly worked as a programmer's almost a no, but in the "self-employed", even over 45 years old are still frequently programmed, in the peer in the year they probably are not enough big cow, but the programming work with love and perseverance, rely on their own hands to complete the project each year one or two others commissioned, it is enough to feed themselves and their families, who wins in a comprehensive and integrated, like programming specializes in programming, there are some software programs and capacity superficial interaction design, do not require complex communication and coordination, without the help of professional testers, himself like a true craftsman polished and finished to the same control software.
Such a programmer, even at the age of 70, as long as the move can write the code, should also someone knocks on your door, right?
