Why writing code is so important all the time - how not to become a catfish

    Sometimes, when consciousness becomes foggy and fatigue builds up, fragile and stronger can become nauseous from deadlines, constant programming, risks on battle servers, sleep on the road, an endless creative stream of ideas and a complete lack of working time, even if you work 24 hours a day.



    But, as the ancients said, this is a temptation!

    After all, nothing can ever professionally develop a developer so hotly re-melt the brain, focus grip, build up convolutions and turn your fingers - how to work in a limited time, with incompletely understood technologies, the presence of a “slightly” blurry detailed plan and hard deadlines that cannot be moved and premiere tickets have already been sold.

    After all, having found yourself in ideal conditions, when there’s a lot of time and you can read books most of it (immediately becoming obsolete after going to print), you will begin to degrade very quickly, lose your skills, be lazy, relax, drink a cup of tea in a day and turn into a trembling ghost from any ghost responsibility and risk of swamp catfish :-)

    And the first sign of such “poisoning” is the fear of writing code with pleasure, thinking with your fingertips and joyfully managing risks. After a while - after a while you will feel that, despite working in a bank, plate, Gazprom, administration and other bullshit - you're not the same one, you are already writing the code with pain and the brain begins to crunch with convolutions. And all dude, you fell out of the creative creative stream and you have one way out - to play open air at night or again to look for a life-affirming comet and cling to its tail.

    Or maybe you console yourself with a vision of a clerk in a white shirt, an expensive tie and ... two convolutions in the head? Do not think that it is easy for him - there are a lot of people like him, they have high competition, and not always the most worthy: it is one thing to implement an algorithm or write a group of classes beautifully, but quite another thing, brother, to be able to smile and suck.

    Therefore, it is so important to learn to value companies full of life, work in startups, deadlines, full of risks and all-night vigils. The result and the joy of achieving the result here will bring much more pleasure from work and life! Much. Than the planned slow birth of an obviously dead creature - stretched out for many months and sometimes years in large corporate swamps - in which projects are often thought of immediately to die.

    Glory to startups!
