Is the developer life for you?

Some people often wonder if they can become good developers or if this job suits them. In this article will make it quick and easy for you to decide whether it’s the right choice or not. Well, here are some things you should know:

• Most of developers are satisfied with their job and when we say most we’re talking 75%of them which is quite a number.
• Developers earn a good sum of money and that’s why they don’t feel the need to become a manager in order to earn more, and on top of that they are confident in their managers which is something you don’t hear a lot.
• Developers work inside or outside of teams. In large companies they are responsible for small parts of huge projects which make them part of even larger groups and teams.
• Developers can sometimes work from home and don’t need to always be stuck to their desks.
• The majority of developers contribute to opensource projects This means they can get the recognition they deserve and their work is published for everyone to see.
• Although not all developers contribute to opensource but all professional developers use opensource projects to build their own.
• Being a developer means that you’ll spend most of your time learning. Almost 90% of all developers say they have taught themselves a new language, framework, or tool, outside of their formal education.
• It’s important to get along with others, learn to appreciate critiques, and also be willing to help improve the work of others. Working in web development might be the biggest team sport you’ll ever participate in.

Overall, if you enjoy programming and if you love to learn new skills, and you have no problem with continuous learning then you’re on the right path. The programming world is growing so fast that each month and each week there’s something new to learn. Which then it’s not meant for you.
