Project: Programmer Life
There maybe 2 ways to think about life and work as a programmer … especially living in the West ??? Especially as a person who is coloured born in the West …
- In the West, you have to be technical and also think Western which is high integrated thinking which includes thinking like a programmer in everyday daily life. This will enable you to work and reach and grow.
- You dedicate life to improving your programming skills everyday. Do this like an art form in the Western sense. You dedicate time everyday or every so often to practice doing programming to hone your skill. Then overtime you are known as a programmer/hobbyist programmer who honed his craft for half a century or ‘life’.
These ways of thinking allow you to live very well in the West.
Adopting this thinking will be so productive and healthy as you grow and be more every single day.
The amount of layers and complexity you grow will be so incredible by the time you are done. After 50+ years programming you basically are a bible of ways and solutions.
…
The key takeaway?
If you hone your skills enough, for example, create a project (framework, language, platform, better alternatives) that takes 30+ years to do (gradually of course), you will leave a lasting legacy after you are gone.
Isn’t that life in the West? Leave something behind ??? Don’t you want you name somewhere? You realize this once you get 40+ years old.
This will surely make you busy and healthy for your entire life without any drawbacks.
I don’t see any drawbacks living this way regardless of living in East or West or North or South.
…
When you are born in the West especially as a coloured person, life is tough from day 1.
The only way to survive the best is maybe this way to get away from all the awkwardness of growing up in the West ???
All the name calling and push back of yesteryears is gone if you go this route really.
This route is 99.9999% feel good everyday I think ???
Your uniqueness will show. The product you have made will reach.
…
Basically, you are trying to build a wholesome message built upon great fine engineering.
