Programmers of the world unite
We asked last week: where have all the computer programmers gone?
‘In my experience you either get more money or a better sounding job title at each annual review,’ says former computer programmer Paul Reeve, who would prefer we didn’t say who employs him, because now he has a fancy job title which includes the phrase ‘new media’, but no more money.
‘I’m a computer programmer,’ says Richard Quadling, a lone voice in our postbag this week. How can this be? We thought they had been eliminated.
‘I’ve only had two jobs,’ he continues. ‘The other one was for 15 years at Carval Computing. There I was a trainee computer programmer. For 15 years! In the next 15 years, I hope to make it to the heady heights of senior developer.’
Remember: we warned that if you are still a computer programmer, maybe everyone forgot about you.
