What is a special mindset.
Perhaps this is the most common myth. They say different things: that programmers have a different brain structure, that they are alienated and withdrawn. And without this you cannot become a successful professional.
Is it true? Partly. But a successful programmer doesn’t always have to be a snob. What is important and you need to know in order to learn to be a programmer:
- Be able to work in a team. Regardless of where to start: web programming, creating mobile applications, layout and much more – this is a team work. Therefore, without it – nowhere.
- Understand what priority is and how to set it correctly. Even in the most prestigious company, programmers are often faced with tasks in the style of “Do it now, but it was necessary yesterday, but here – quickly and only to correct it.” Structuring tasks is one of the most important skills of a tough progger.
- Possess phenomenal perseverance. No, you won’t have to sit in the office from ringing to ringing, but spending a lot of time at a laptop or computer is sure. That is why IT people are considered unsociable: just while everyone is resting, most of them prefer to work.
- Do not be afraid to improve and learn new things. Programming languages become outdated, new ones need to be learned, mobile applications are created on new platforms, dozens of services appear every day. If you want to become a good programmer, you need to be flexible and ready to upgrade your skills.
- Love your computer. There is nothing more to add here. Your machine is your primary work tool.
Already these skills can bring a stable and good income. What if we add professional skills and education to this?
