Hello my dear readers. I am now writing again on this blog of mine that I have "neglected" due to my recent duties as a techpreneur. Today is an important day for me because its my birthday. I figured out it would be best to write on my blog again on this special day.
From now on, everyday, I will be writing some short posts on this blog about my insights on information technology and the sciences. I will now start talking about the current state of information technology affairs.
Information technology and computer science nowadays are high-demand industries in the world nowadays. It is interesting to note that this was not so in the early 2000s. We didn't predict this demand before. In the early 2000s, I started out as a content writer and people said it was not a lucrative job. Some programmers from the dot.com bubble told me that they picked up programming for some IT giants like Apple and IBM because there was "no one else to do it" but the nerds.
Because there was no one else to do the dirty job of information technology, as an IT worker, you were expected to know a lot of things in the early 2000s. Like, if you provide content, you should not only provide words but also graphics. search engine optimization and layout or web design. If you do web design you are also expected to know how to do backend code. But now, this is not the case nowadays.
When you enter IT companies nowadays, it is interesting to note that they have somehow evolved into different departments. There are web designers, developers, writers, SEO sepcialists. The problem with these young people is that they are too specific in their tasks like they only know SEO, they only know writing. What has happened to the full-stack developer of the early 2000s?
I am not saying this in a negative way, its just that I find it amusing. Of course we must all welcome change. Its just that I think that if we focus too much on a single function, the full-stack developer in us might die. Just saying.
