# The old generation of programmers, you are doing #

Read the news, then to the "today" show. Today's topic from the true stories of several of the older generation of programmers, and in these more than 10 or 20 years see wind and rain they had; what programming languages used; do what products as well as their views on the job.

Ten years are like a day, always adhere to the first line. While in iterated in the wave of new technology, they remain full of enthusiasm from zero to study hard. Facing these people, feeling half, half of admiration.

When we are immersed in AI, VR and other new things, prolonged immersion in the chicken soup for the technical people that changed the world when it should focus on those closer to the life of people, where are they now, they are still writing code?

30 technology faith

I am 52 years old, more than 30 years of programming work. Since 1984 with the Fortran programming language, then went through Basic, c, C++, c #. Do is related to graphics, CAD, nesting, body surface measurements and processing, CNC machining passes.

In 2012 and his friends started a company, CNC system. Company size is very small, has experienced all kinds of afflictions, is fortunate, the company is growing rapidly.

CNC system development work is divided into 3 blocks: hardware, firmware, and software. Firmware is hardware MCU, DSP or ARM of the program, we used c programming. Software refers to computer Dot Net and Win32 applications with C++ and c # programming, graphics capabilities, and are implemented in the software. Development of firmware and software are managed by me, hit the hard stuff and personally fencing.

Because the obsession with technology, so focus on technology more than 30 years and there is no change management, accumulated experience in this area and increase capacity in this field. Due to his experience, so the company made at the institutional level technical positions special safeguards, not allowed to treat staff, hope that they can stick with for a long time technology.

Always stand on the front line

Is 50 years old, yet in line as a senior programmer to write code and test automation, also responsible for the testing and development of a new project of the company.

Just think of it as enjoying

I work in the programmer from 1988-present, basically all Programmer jobs are done, grew up to the architects, to the Chief Engineer Officer. And worked in enterprises of all sizes, from small companies to the Fortune 500. Now write the code best, and is currently a smaller companies smaller code workers who enjoy the happiness of programming.

Living museum

Our team of four people, one of 63 years old continues to write code,56 and 48 years old, two are the backbone of the team. I'm a 34 year old, the youngest. Front two are from the drilling machine began programming, PowerShell now slip away with the special.

This job has nothing to do with sex

As a female engineer, back in 2003, I was in charge of a model of a software system. Multiple software systems, including hardware (mechanical, electrical, core unit) transport control and data acquisition program, image display handler, data query system, user external data exchange program.

I am the project leader, is also responsible for controlling this part of the code, on the WINDOWS platform, C++, mainly write TCP/IP communications program and the serial communications, at the time the largest difficulty is a lot of real time data acquisition and display refresh, to run for a long time without losing data, handle the exception.

In addition to overall programme and module code, and is also responsible for the whole management work on the project, including testing, System testing, documentation and arrangements do not work I do.

And management, for the several departments, company's products are almost over, now in new business development, is looking for the next meal.

Pretty much like business, but good point, spending the company's money, using the company's name, the entrepreneurial team out and don't know how much more comfortable than that times and product departments within the company than to have a strong sense of good may be dissolved at any time.

With me, Director of the Division, until now in the core code, because I believe that good products need the best engineers, who is not in your capable.

When I visit the site last year, around 02 systems still in operation, happily grinning.

"The work won't let me write, I write from work"

Although a lot of people don't want me to write a program, but I never give up. Work to write, I write from work. Lead to dig a lot of holes to fill up, such as a recent mobile apps, meet their needs after it grounded indefinitely. Stronger than a decade ago is now doing language, at least three Japanese and English languages need not intervene independently of others. When only the Chinese version.

I have a senior, now is my administrative supervisor. In a large project known as the head of the three Musketeers, do not know have written procedures for how many years now. Hello Kitty iPad case

Naughty old hacker

My dad is in database, use the Fox Pro, a Fox's head, is said to have once had a old national road toll system is something he did. Later, he is always sleeping, along with regular Office let her daughters to origami airplane in the sky, so he was transferred to another Office, code is not in the computer center.

He is a civil servant, had not retired, drank tea, newspaper, asked me to make up beauty play Chase Chase, got a Twitter from the five hair with dry food (it is his own words ... ... ), And inmates were busy playing two three killed, three killed by their units are still in the League right now.

Well, to supplement his majestic feat hahaha when I was young.

Had and led fight black off has wage system, factory in half sent not out wage, I dad said is staff himself make bad has Lai to he head Shang, adjustable gang of when remote black back put important data by deleting off, received bit of people make indefinite has back find he, he attitude old high said you himself redundant data backup didn't do, that people asked redundant data backup is God horse things, he answered "cut, this are not know, to to to, units outside make a site, make Taiwan projector (that era good rare of) to you class. "

All units are known to have such a number, then the core data or return, saying it was restored.

A habit, an accomplishment

More than 10 years later, I'm still a programmer, should also be for another 20 years. I believe that, in time, writing program and not just a career, will also become an accomplishment, just like chess.
