Half Sigma: Why a career in computer programming sucks

As you get older, you're skills and interest for learning decreases.
Just a heads up for things that can come.

Yes it will suck if you're still a programmer 15-20 years from now.

Programmers have excellent career ladder opportunities. You can start from being Junior, then you become Senior, then Lead Developer, then if you want you can venture on Project Management, or Software Architect. Ascending this ladder also means ascending on your software development responsibilities.

Lead Developers down to the Junior level are more particular about the low-level aspects and responsibilities of software development. They have to be updated all the time and they should know how to use them and be familiar enough for a number of reasons.

While Project Managers, Software Architect, IT Directors, and onwards are more particular with the high-level aspects and responsibilities. They're more focused on the business requirements and software design rather than what's the latest hottest framework or technology. Although they still need to be updated but they don't really need to learn how to use them! They just need to know what they can do and have some of the developers to try them out. And experience also helps a lot. Original thoughts in software development are still worth keeping.

Sa bata pa ta ganahan kaayo ta mo learn new things and develop nato ang skills sa programming bisan unsa language, pero nig maidad idaran na malahi na gud ang hilig, magka anam ug kawala to learn to tungod sa kadaghan na nga variation sa programming language, mao na ako concentrate lng gyud ug usa ka programming language bahala na ug oldies but goodies. anyway pangwarta man ni atong profession dli man pasikat.

yes agree ko nimo sa last statement nimo bro.....pareha ta focus pod ko ug usa but now 2 na ako gi focus which is Visual Studio 2010 (VB.net and C#.net)

The point of this thread was never about the feasibility of a tech related career. Technology is more important now than ever. The topic, however, was about how long you can hold on to a programming position. You said it yourself, ang mga bata karon grabeh na ka tech savvy. Sa ako mga nabasahan 14 year-olds, kamao na kaayo mu program. Dako kaayo chansa ma apsan ka sa mga bata karon. Or if bata pa ka karon, dako kaayo chansa ma apsan ka sa next generation. Mao ang point sa thread. Pero, dli kaayo ko sang-ayon ana. Ni post nmn tingai ko sa ako thoughts dri. Hehe.

Partly also my reason. Other part is, I love it. Algorithm, Maths, Logic. Way sama ka lingaw.
