Seeing a lot of topics that everyone discussed, the old programmer has no development. I think, I may talk about how foreign programmers survive, maybe it will be inspired by everyone.
There are many older programmers, more than forty, more than 50, and generally occupy technical leadership. The old programmer is slow, this is sure. But they don't worry, the company is not anxious, because the emergence of new technologies is just a summary of old technologies, people who really master the old technologies are not difficult to survive abroad.
Domestic friends encountered what Java appeared, C programmers were labeled by Layoff, in fact, is not the sorrow of programmers, but the company's sorrow. Because this shows that this company has no core competitiveness at all, things should be changed, and it is a rooted grass with wind. A very important feature of foreign company systems is big. Just like a project on my hand (in our company is not very big), an engineering 8000 files, an average of 1000-2000 lines of files per file. The largest file 25000 line code, all C . Of course, the file is so big, it is not a glorious thing, but to maintain this procedure, you will rely on the old program, who dares to sin them? I have been doing two years in this system, just dare to do a little RESTRUCTURE in the small module, and the whole system does not dare to change. How can I replace those old guys? This system is impossible to use Java to do, is an image-related, C is too slow, and Java? A local cache database, there are 4 g, this massive transmission, really test level. And the database is not the core of the system.
The programmer is layoff, indicating that you have no core competitiveness. You will everyone will. You think, if you have participated in Windows development, will you have a living crisis? The maximum salary is a little lower. The real old program is not Layoff, and the strawman is quite impetuous, or yourself is more impetuous.
