Gary Han - A Nerd Who Tries To Be Cool And Failed Thus Far

Just a fun note,

I was having a discussion with a group of programmers from different backgrounds.

And I was asked the question whats a better language and why do you prefer Java.

So my answer is, I like to build using Lego not PlayDoh.

When I program in Java, I feel my program is very safe and consistent.

when I program in PHP, Python or Ruby, I feel my program is very squishy.

A simply example is:

    Recently, I started taking on multiple projects, both from management perspective and programming perspective.

    First time ever, I felt overwhelmed with all the work and actually want to jump on my bed and sleep. (Especially on a Friday night, I can sleep for over 16 hours)

    I am here to state what I learned for the last couple months from all this work and perhaps help myself or fellow programmers out there who takes on multiple projects at the same time.

    Notice the title is not “How to manage software development teams.” but “How to manage software projects.”

    This is so because developers manage themselves; with agile development approach, developers are no longer the code monkeys of the system, but software designers, taking on tasks in every aspect of the program.

    Remember the good old waterfall development days?

    So I have been a programmer for quite awhile now. From school intern to university newbie freshman to architect role, the idea of better software design never left my head.

    I started playing with programming languages with a couple of my nerdy childhood friends since grade school. (I am still a nerd!)  The good old days of procedural programming lol!
