My Story #9 - Focus on theory, Losing out in coding


I haven't focused much on coding and I was more on theory. I was amazed by some of my co-students who were good at debugging, developing games. I am more like code up, understand and rewrite it. This was my pattern. While looking at software engineering by pressman I was a bit curious about models of software development. I combined both waterfall and agile and proposed him as a new model. The reply from Pressman was it looks similar maybe could be finetuned. I don't have an exact reply but he mentioned he goes gets a lot more similar queries on proposals for new models.

This took me to clouds oh I did something new. Then I started looking at different models and writing articles. I wrote articles like note-taking. This was during 2002. Summary of models. It was similar to the original content and wasn't novel. I was in cloud 9 until later someone told me this is nothing but a cut down version of the article. Later down the line the more I thought I will climb up to become a project manager, I actually got closer to code. I am a slow learner but I never walk back. There were many key people in my life who re-engineered me to be good in the database, performance tuning etc.

I have been more of a domain - tech specialist balancing both. The initial years If I would have continued I would have ended up becoming a copywriter :). Yes, coding need to be taken up more as experimenting with your ideas than trying out as Hello World scripts.

Happy Learning!!!
