Today has been one such day, nothing much special, but just wanted to write about an incident which happened today.
I have been working in the IT industry for close to 6 years and all these years I have seen lots of code. Coding, debugging is nothing new to me. Today, something different happened.
I was interacting with this so called person at office, suddenly I was on the look out for a piece of code, which I had written sometime back. I did not remember exactly where the code was, I mean which file. So I started doing a generic search based on keyword. Then I managed to locate the code.
After a while when I was having coffee with this colleague of mine, I told him, sometimes, I end up forgetting things, where exactly I have coded certain things. He listened to me patiently and replied :
" If you dont remember where the things are, where the code is, what the flow is, your experience is ZERO, knowing API's and answering technical questions is of no use "
This is what, he precisely said.
Frankly speaking, at that very moment I felt embarrassed, very very embarrassed. All kinds of thoughts were running in my mind, as to how to prove, what he said and what he thought about me was absolutely wrong.
But yes, I did not, I simply kept quiet. I just cannot describe how I felt at that particular minute.
I decided, I have nothing to prove to anyone. If someone tells me even after working for 6 years, my experience is as good as ZERO, I absolutely have nothing to lose.
I will play my game, and enough of listening to this so called SOCIETY or JUNTA. Why should I react if someone tells me something...
This is how I feel at this very moment. Reading tons of inspirational blogs got the better out of me today.
And if your wondering, I am waiting for a day to prove my worth to that colleague of mine, your are absolutely wrong.
So till then Cheers,
Sandeep
PS:: I wanted to write this whole episode as a poem. Unfortunately I do not have that much poetic skill set.
Sometimes, i regret not having studied literature or something which would have enhanced my writing ability. I regret it badly, very badly...
