While perusing mine undergraduate degree in CS majors, I used to opine "what’s the life of a software guy, working in a big MNC!!!". Really had very high hopes over that image. But all expectations finally shattered in quagmire, when i myself got the designation of a" Software Engineer". Really someone has said the truth "don’t ever make the house of cards, it takes hell lots of patience to construct and takes seconds for demolition and finally leaves you in predicaments "Huhhh.. I am going through same phase, which is inexplicable..... As never thought that what ever scheduling algorithms i have studied in my Operating systems course , does First Come First Served, Round Robin, Shortest job first, with time stamp, ever strike me before coding, never... Those combinational and sequential circuits seem to be very exciting on bread board... But till date i have not seen those gates any where other than digital electronics lab. Many times i used to ransack my cpu interiors with a thought that at least I would recognize one IC on which I had worked, but sorry to say not even one... Then whom I should blame mine curriculum or myself. What ever courses I read in mine engineering will it really help me in mine professional life? I don’t have any idea.... Mine college time was a golden period, as I used to do only those assignments which I liked... How cool it used to be naah.. Previously it was #include"stdio.h" but now the headers have changed drastically the string length of mine headers are only 80 characters... Now imagine the situation... Ahem Ahem.. Oh Jesus please save me..... It has been long since i have declared int i, in mine professional coding.... The identifiers length are quite enough to scare a fresh graduate.. Fresh graduate will die for help after seeing those unending braces of loops and nesting of structures... Huhh...... Uff check out the plight I used once #define GANGULY O so that i could remember where i was getting the zero value in the code. (huhhh )...
Here I keep on jumping from one tree to other tree, with a thought of trying to reduce the time for others to traverse. But it never happened, in code reviews I have to use all those CS jargons especially Compiler walle to speak not high volume of my self but to prove how strong is mine college curriculum… That compiler monster that ruined not only me but also some of mine very close friends (their identity I won’t disclose here). Those finite state machines where I used to revolve in mine College now have gone into thin air… Those big endian and little endian methods have almost evaporated from mine brain cells, and suddenly those endian brothers stroke me once, i was constantly gazing at mine desktop where and how does these make any difference, why these brothers share the same surname but behave so drastically. I gave it for search in Google but unfortunately drained my entire day in searching. And had to stay in office to meet mine deadline…Many times I thought of developing something from the scratch, but it already has developed by some one. Oh Poor me, I opine that all the what ever development has done so far it came only from Tanenbaum, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Linus Trovold, Donald Knuth, Denis Ritchie, Jeff Bezos, Bhatia,Keval and many more. Some times I think am I really in development!!!!! Now days , its not development but Software maintenance, it’s not only with me but with almost every Software Guy in his respective company. Level of frustration is increasing day by day, as in this profession I feel no one is happy despite the fact where ever he is… Software guy is beset by insatiable appetite, and this can be varied from one MNC to other MNC. Some brooks money, some claims I don’t like to work on database and Java, some demands attention which cant be gained in big organizations, some needs onsite opportunities, Some says I need name, some says I cant travel so much every day, some claims that mine PL squeezes mine blood, some says I have no work, some have legitimate and some have illegitimate hazar reasons. And the list of excuses goes on and on…. One has said very truly, we get swayed away by the crowd very easily, and those who go against them are thrown against the wall, and our world is the witness that only they have created the history………
