Career warning in programming IT

[jacoblabares]

---

If programming is how you make for living so you have to keep learning. But if you think its not worth it anymore, you can change route or change your career path but warning, its not easy to start from zero because I tried it.

what career have you tried bro?

I am one of those you consider old, but i still code, why? because i love what i do, it doesn't mean that i am not progressing in my career, it is just i am happy at what i am doing. I have been a project manager, an architect, a DBA, but i still fall back to the one that i love most, coding. so what is wrong with that?

If you are older, and still need to program to make some money, then you would have better learned to bake bread
If you are good in young age, you wont need to program anymore when you are older

The only time you stop learning is when you are 6 feet below the ground. so, keep on learning!

yup.. need japun to keep learning but not necessarily on technical or coding stuffs basta naa na sa managerial level.. ky most managers ang ila ana is idea nalang on how to implement and what it needs to get implemented..

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.

I don't believe your statement TS. I am now at old age already, late 40's but still learning a new programming language to keep abreast of the new trends. Your statement is in plateau and in danger zone as in dead.

As we get older, the more learned we are and experienced. Never stop learning...

kung manager ka and wla nka kblo sa latest technologies and trends, if naay escalation or serious issue and ni surrender na imo mga sakop, imo na ang next move. if wla ka kalibotan unsay nahitabo, yabo gyd na ang project.

or, if naa kay developer nga tapulan kaau and naay issue mang gawas and kblo xa nga dli nka updated, mag dawat rna sweldo ug ilad ilaron rka

mga manager ron bro ky dili nmn jud na maau kaau into coding but kahibaw na sila unsaon pag-implement sa project og unsa nay dagan sa project. it doesn't mean nga maglevel up ka into managerial level para wala nakay angay kat-onan! what is mean here is dili naka into coding but more on planning and implementations na sd ka.. dili nka knahanglan og mkahibaw unsa pag-code anang mga bag-ong language ron.. dili ka matawag nga manager ana bro kun wa ka khibaw unsay dagan sa imong project..
