Forget about marketing and stuff! Let us all be developers!
This time I just could not help myself overhearing a conversation among some pretty much passionate freelancers. It turns out that one developer was trying to convince us that the future and more importantly the source of safe and regular income is in development. One of the guys pointed out that we could not be all programmers. Someone has to do the writing, marketing, presentation, sales, design, and other types of work. If we all develop, then who is going to be left to do all these necessary jobs? Right?
Yet, this developer superstar was restless and persistent. Anyone can learn how to build apps and websites. I agree. We can all learn how to write codes, but are we going to be happy? I have dozens of friends who work as freelance developers. What is the catch? You still work from 9 to 5. Maybe in a different time zone, but it is all the same. That is not my thing.
At one point I decided that enough is enough, so I said what I think about it. Unless you develop some life changing mega popular app, you are going to write some boring codes and who knows what for a very long time. At the same time, in order for your app to be successful, you need to have a little bit of everything. You have to be an entrepreneur, a marketer, copywriter, leader, a true Superman. So, we are back where we started our discussion. You need a team. They cannot be all developers, can they?
It turns out that I hit the right or the wrong nerve. It depends obviously. This developer asked me a question about my car. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I drive a used 12-year-old car. He said that compared to my car he drives a space ship. I did not know that this was a Fast and Furious competition. Luckily for us we had to go back inside because the next presentation was about to begin.
On my way back home, I thought about my work and my car. Nowadays, even the kids learn how to develop basic programs. Yet, that is simply not my thing. I am happy with what I do. I am not happy with my car and so many other things in my life. Yet, I work hard and hope for things to change and improve at some point in my life. The last thing I would recommend to anyone is that we should all become writers and copywriters. I respect all people and all professions. We are all pieces of one gigantic puzzle. Or, maybe it is about time for me to learn some things about development. I really do not know. How about you?
