If I say Newbies, is because it’s a starter and is willing to learn about new things. I can’t explain a lot of events that happen in recent times, but listening to them is quite confusing and less encouraging.
For me that I aim to be a software developer, we have to face several situations in life, at work, the struggle and pressure of having the programs done at a certain time, and struggling with the user interface and user requirements. We need to be capable of learn the things we do and the effects of the user that test and buys the programs we do. It’s a hard work.
Of course, we make programs, we make web pages, and we make applications (and we make games!), people use it and people pressure to be the best way they wanted to be. But in this fast-growing world, programs and applications are more likely to be focused on communication and user interaction. In fact there are a lot of social networking pages and blogs that remark the user interaction part. We can’t know the management of the content of users, maybe it’s not our business to do so, but of course content management is important to be measured, but that too isn’t as great, there is a thing call report of content, based on what users see. Rating of users is also another issue, and like/dislike is another one. But still our duty is development; the content is part of the user.
Recently there has been a lot of interaction with the people. Practically a lot of people are inside the Facebook social networking, and before that it was the e-mail/chat. The progress of the social networking is that it was two things: you have your most beloved ones as contacts, and you don’t have to go another place to look the entertainment you want. Thinking of social networking is kind of extense, their range is wide: computers, mobiles, tablets, and it has become a very common thing to do if you want to surf the internet: Having a social network account and see others that post likely the same. It’s very common.
And because of that, other pages make relation to that social network and make other pages. Making this short, they invite Facebok users to see their pages and make them easy to share them to their dashboard. And then, the impact of ideas becomes into a revolution of ideas. Everyone seems to be open-minded, but their trolling of the post becomes a harsh thing view.
Because of the impact of the social networking, programmers tend to go into making pages that interact with users, and of course lots of programmers go into the web and mobile side. I like mobile programming; it has been a more common thing to do. But of certainly desktop programs have a lot of importance.
What I really get worried about is our future in our lives. It’s difficult to tell how our programs will make an effect on people, so we have to be careful and maintain calm; also the influence of the networking and the growing relation to the stealing of content, especially on very private things. Impressing how they can force into getting the information from a vulnerable site, and then use it against it....
We have a great responsibility, and that’s what worries. Having to care about the information of users is a great duty. I don’t think that in past times they would have an idea on the events that happen because of the communication of users with their posts. Today is more noticeable. And the fact that higher positions of a country organization are getting worried and want to do something is concerning.
But that compared on having a short life is very depressing..., so my Base Position wouldn’t want to do that despite of the popularity I can get on my programs. That would be unthinkable, or maybe they resemble popular artists that do the same..., but putting ALL of this beside, I’ll maintain my calm and face whatever thing. Of course support is important, but then if not we need our own.
So in the programming world, don’t be afraid of things, and don’t do things you’ll regret a lot. You’ll maintain calmness and you’ll live longer. And live controlling pressure and with balance.
