이 개발자되는 최고 이유

닌자.

그 컴퓨터 프로그래머가 오늘날 자신을 전화거야. 직업 (당신은 심지어 그 전화를 할 수 있는지) 없음 - 너무 멋진 이름의 장황한 설명으로갑니다, 같은 개발자로, 프로그램 제작자, 기사, 기술자, 그리고 더 많은 물건을 아주 방에서 가장 인기있는 남자하지 않습니다. 금후, 많이, 그, 프로그래머 (더 나은 단어의 부족에 대한) 닌자 또는로 가다. 나는 약간 성가신 찾으십시오 – 당신은 코드를 작성하는, 황제의 원수를 죽이는 없습니다. 하지만 빗나가 다.

So what do a chef, musician, 예술가, teacher, and inventor have in common with a lowly programmer? They don’t quite have glorious jobs either… But I’ll tell you what. Anyone who’s in one of these fields will tell you they love their job. Most anyone, anyway. It sure isn’t because of the pay.

It’s because of the reward. Not material. It’s that feeling that you’ve reached out to someone, directly improved their life with something you’ve made or done.

Chefs and musicians and artists ply their craft to provide quality enjoyment.

Teachers (보통) see their students learn and improve, moving forward in life – because of them.

And inventors – they are directly improving the lives of thousands or millions with their creations – lightbulbs, 컴퓨터, 무엇이든.

And that’s the kind of reward that we computer programmers get. To know that something you have made is being used and enjoyed by others. There’s nothing quote like that feeling.

As great as making a game is, it’a not totally rewarding because you know people aren’t really doing that much with it save for, 당신은 알고있다, wasting their time.

아니, what’s really rewarding is making software people can actually use to work or learn. Programming languages, education software, heck even a camera app are all useful to millions. And that’s why I love developing 염소, a flashcard and arising tool which can help anyone improve their learning. It’s like being a teacher, inventor, and chef all rolled into one.

So when I check my email I may not find a statement telling me I earned a few thousand today, but I may find an email from a user relating a personal experience or personal comments on my software. And that’s the most rewarding part of what I do. Knowing that I’m helping someone, with personal, individual proof. Those emails are priceless.

Emails like those are the reason I release all my software free of charge. I want to help people, not my wallet. People – your users – should always come first, whether you’re a chef, inventor, 또는, 예, developer.

People first. That’s why software should be free. Free software is a boon to the community 과 – dare I say it – the world.

Sure, you can say being a developer/coder/programmer/whatever isn’t too glamorous, but with a few lines of code you can touch the world. Not bad for a day’s work.
