Are programmers only young people able to make a living? What are their career options after age 35?

It's the middle of the year, and basically everyone who has changed jobs has done so. Those who haven't left are still hanging on. I wonder if you occasionally feel dazed during the day-to-day coding, and wonder if what you do every day really brings you improvement?
In today's seriously involutionary society, getting by means of mediocrity means stagnation, so the only way to resolve anxiety is to take action.
But taking action does not mean that you need to be more self-disciplined right from the start. You can also start by developing a micro-habit. Recently, I saw a learning check-in activity (abbreviated as "ARTS") that is not bad, and I recommend it to you.
The initiator is a hardcore programmer
Chen Hao
.
His online name is
Left Ear Mouse
, and many people like to call him "Uncle Mouse". He is a senior technical expert with 20 years of R&D and management experience. He has worked in companies such as Alibaba and Amazon. He is proficient in architecture and has a unique set of insights and methods for programmers' personal growth. Those problems that have troubled others for a long time are immediately clear after he explains them. This is his skill.
I think our generation is very lucky. We can get in touch with the thoughts and opinions of various industry experts through the Internet, and even communicate with them closely on some platforms. These opinions and insights are hard to come by in any book or in the workplace. Often, a word from them can really inadvertently affect a person's life.
Take Uncle Haozi for example. For more than a decade, he has been sharing his technical insights and has been followed by hundreds of thousands of developers. His guidance and directional suggestions to young people have had a great impact on my later development.
As a technical person who is willing to share, Chen Hao wrote a year-round column
"Left Ear Listening to the Wind"
in 2017.
The current number of subscriptions has reached
55,000
. The content covers most technical fields: distribution, programming paradigms, container technology, AI, blockchain, programmer leveling, etc. It can be said to be a must-have book for programmers. His 20 years of technical experience and learning summary are all here.
A few years ago, I read this column and it woke me up from my CRUD work. At that time, I had no direction or plan for my career and felt that I was doing repetitive work every day. Uncle Haozi's "Programmer Leveling Guide" made me realize that technical people should pursue a solid professional foundation and master the methods to efficiently improve professional skills. Until now, I feel that I have benefited a lot from it.

This is one of the earliest technical columns of GeekTime, and it has been updated for a year, but the truly valuable content can stand the test of time. A few years later, when I picked up this column and reread it, I found that although various technical concepts have risen and fallen, Uncle Haozi's course content, whether it is the interpretation of technology or the career advice for programmers, has never been outdated.
For example, there are two articles in the column, both of which mentioned "technical leadership". Before, I always thought that this was equivalent to management, so I focused most of my energy on recruitment, process management and other things, but did not leave myself time to improve my technology.
Uncle Haozi's article enlightened me. He said that "technical leadership" not only includes leadership and management, but technology is equally important. We must thoroughly understand basic technology, improve learning ability, and set high standards for ourselves. This will not only improve business skills in an all-round way, but also exercise thinking, cultivate technical foresight and decision-making ability, and then form technical leadership.
Of course, technology alone is not enough. Leadership also requires various soft skills such as communication skills, organizational skills, drive, and teamwork, which are all explained in the column.
The content of leadership is only a small part of "The Left Ear Listens to the Wind", but the inspiration it gave me is "worth the money". The entire column covers a wide range of content. Due to limited space, there are
more than 100
articles. It is impossible to list all the dry goods one by one, but as long as you calm down and read carefully, you will definitely gain a lot. Here is a summary of the content I sorted out before:
There are many values in the world. Only if you firmly believe in the value of technology, you will eventually realize your own value. Therefore, I have always regarded Uncle Haozi as a role model and think that technology should develop in the direction of Uncle Haozi.
In fact, it’s not just me. Everyone else has great comments on the column. I’ve captured some of the comments for your reference:
The “ ARTS Check-in
”
that I mentioned at the beginning
was initiated by Uncle Haozi among the readers of his column “Left Ear Listening to the Wind”. It is essentially a method of deliberate practice to improve oneself, and it is very effective.
Chen Hao has previously organized
7
groups with
more than
3,500
members, including programmers from various fields such as front-end, back-end, big data, and artificial intelligence, as well as students and entrepreneurs. They often discuss practical matters, exchange technology, supervise each other, and learn and grow. In the group, everyone is asked to do ARTS check-ins, which is a regular output and summary every week.
Recently, the ARTS check-in activity has been launched again. All subscribers of "Left Ear Listening to the Wind" can
apply to join for free
. I think this activity is very meaningful and recommend you to join.
But one thing to note is that if you only want to stock up on courses to relieve your worries, it is recommended that you do not buy them. You must really learn and practice, and complete the course tasks. In this way, the course will be valuable to you. It is recommended that you apply to join the ARTS check-in group for free after subscribing.
Don't underestimate this challenge. Try it for a month, half a year, or a year? It's definitely worth it to buy "Left Ear Listening to the Wind" now. It can be said to be my most recommended "financial product of the year" in 2021.
