programmer, photographer, writer

finally got a promotion to a “technical leader”. Not that it counts… but heck what., thats the consolation you get to stay in a company.

I wonder how much value these 44 months have been in my technical life … geee.Honestly I think the best days of my programming were still my college days where I discovered design patterns and how OO can change the way you can write code. No matter how many frameworks I learnt, the creativity that has been imbibed sicne then cannot be replaced. As for working for a consultant company has its pros and cons., you can learn a lot about how a business functions from a higher up, if you know how to play the cards. While at the other end you know you’ve been taken for a ride and given 1/100th of the dues what you have contributed overall. But hey. isnt this suppose to ring a bell sooner or later?

I know its all a biscuit at the end of the day from the company’s CEO saying

“Ok dude, you’ve been slogging your arse off so I gave you a 4.8/5 rating, here you go take some change and some titles and keep your mouth shut for the next one year atleast. Afterall dont forget you’re a damn employee in this company and you will always be begging for more to go higher up the ladder. You are not a boss no matter how high up the ladder you are, remember I OWN THE LADDER”

I think I finally decided what’s next No more climbing ladders.
