Hello! I'm CoderCollie🐶!
Coder Collie, why are you called Coder Collie?🐾
I am a developer who endures a four-hour daily round-trip commute with the determination that "I will raise a Border Collie in the future."
Until I can create courses and finally bring a Border Collie home! I will work even harder🚀 Coder Collie, what has your life been like?🤔 1) Mid-2000s ~ 2010
I will work even harder until I can create enough courses to finally bring a Border Collie home!🚀
CoderCollie, what is your story?🤔
1) Mid-2000s – Early 2010s: Programming💻 is fun, but I don't think I can do it
I entered a certain engineering college and learned programming (C language) for the first time. At first, I struggled because it was unfamiliar, but the process of creating something by typing away on the keyboard was fun. It suited my aptitude, and my grades were pretty good too.
However, the atmosphere at the time was not like today, where developers are treated well. Computer science was always at the bottom of the list of preferred majors. Also, I once interned at a consulting firm during my undergraduate years, and it didn't feel like developers were the ones proactively leading the projects (to put it politely, haha).
I enjoyed programming, but I compromised with myself and decided to go to graduate school, thinking it wasn't the right choice.
2) Early 2010s – Late 2010s: It's late, but I need to go back now🔄
Immediately after entering graduate school, the academic paradigm began to shift gradually toward Data and AI, and after AlphaGo, it underwent a complete transformation.
During the research process, I had constant arguments with my advisor, who failed to adapt to the new paradigm (of course, the professor was wrong and I was right). My research remained stagnant for a long time, and feeling physically and mentally exhausted, I decided to put my degree on hold and spend some time at home.
During my time resting at home, I started creating and running a Python-related development blog. About a year after launching it, I began receiving around 2,000 daily visitors. Influenced positively by the blog (it truly saved me), I was fortunate enough to graduate.
From that point on, I even had about 2,000 visitors a day. Influenced positively by the blog (it truly saved me), I luckily managed to graduate.
3) Early 2020s ~: What decisions should be made in the ChatGPT paradigm?🤖
I joined a major domestic semiconductor company and am continuing my career there. I'm physically comfortable and well-fed, but I don't feel mentally fulfilled. Is it because my ego is unnecessarily bloated?
Working as a software developer in a place where the final product is not software, I am experiencing various interesting situations. Just as flowers bloom even in the mud, I am experiencing many things that can only be encountered here.
I am living in a state of constant inner turmoil amidst a new paradigm—perhaps even greater than those of the past—epitomized by ChatGPT. With predictions of mass layoffs for developers due to ChatGPT, I am stuck in a dilemma: should I commit even harder to my corporate life, or should I pursue life as a solopreneur, given that I can now more rapidly bring the ideas in my head to life thanks to ChatGPT?
Anyway, I will do my best.
Consistency is the one thing I'm truly confident in🔥
