Random Programming Problems (Part 0): Introduction
This is the introduction to my Random Programming Problems series. I will be talking about the reason and motivation behind this, maybe I will be whining a little bit about my life, maybe not a little bit. But well, this is my story and I can do whatever I want. Plus, who cares?
To start of, I need to tell you about my previous life. Before writing this, I was just living in some helpless state of mind. I had ideas in my brain but they vanished away after couple of hours, and I always feel like I did not accomplish anything out of the things I have done. Life can be meaningless sometimes. You spent 7 hours working a day, then after that you go home, eat something, have some rest, just to start it all over again the next morning. It’s a cycle of repetition with no escape.
I wonder if this is what growing up feel like. I worked to make a living, yet failing to make a life.
I decided that I have to get out of this state by doing something more meaningful, that gives me energy and purpose for my life. I like learning new things, but I offend forget them after a while. Maybe I can start fixing this.
How about I write down some kind of diary, but for programming?
So here I am thinking about writing a dedicated article about my experience as a software developer, the issues and struggles that I have been through, and how did I manage to get over it. It would be a nice series. Although I find that there are simply too many of them topic to cover, I can still see myself having fun with writing this, so I am going start a series now. I hope to keep it monthly, or at least as regularly as I can.
These stories will cover a wide range of topics. They can be long, can be short; can be about C++, can be about Python; can be really significant, can be trivial or can be absolutely random. They are just fragments of my daily life as a programmer.
I have a long journey ahead, and so now it begins.
