When and why did you start programming?
My first real introduction to programming happened while I was at university in 1998. I studied math and accounting, but I completed four more programming courses in C ++ and Java, and I liked it.
A few years later, in 2003, I worked in a technical support service, and one of the managers asked me to start supporting an office site. It was a static site created in Dreamweaver, and there were quite a few problems with it. So my first task as a professional programmer was to create a new site that looked exactly like the old one, but would be written in PHP.
It was a study of which I enjoyed.
A few years later in 2003, I would like to be able to take care of our office’s website. Previously it was a static site developed in Dreamweaver with
quite a few issues. It was written in PHP.
What are you working on right now?
The last five years, my main priority in the open source has been the development of the Sequel.
5 years has been the development of the sequel.
What is the best and what is the worst in your work?
At work, I administer the network and program (without a command). The best: I work with a wide range of projects, I completely control the process of their creation, and I have free time to work on the open source.
The worst thing in my work is that since I am writing code alone, I don’t have the opportunity to discuss this or that idea with my colleagues. Personal communication with other programmers occurs only at meetings or conferences.
At work. I get to know how to do it.
I’m the one who is on the top of my job program. My only in-person interactions with other programmers are during meetups
and conferences.
What do you consider your main achievement in life / career at the moment?
My main professional achievement, perhaps, is that I brought the Sequel from that “raw” state in which it was in 2008 to the current polished one.
It is not true that it has been a state of the art.
What is the purpose of your career and professional development?
I try to master new programming tools and techniques to make the development process even easier in the future. I hope the more time I spend on it, the easier it will be in the end and everything will be (here it is, the power of laziness).
My goal is to make future development easier. Hopefully I willn’t spend the rest of my life.
What helps a programmer to grow professionally ?
Practice. You can learn how to write programs only by doing it directly. There are two expressions that seem very relevant to me here:
“The right decisions come with experience. The experience comes from the wrong decisions. ”
“An expert is a person who has made all conceivable mistakes in a very narrow field.”
Practice Time to do it. There are two sayings that resonate with me here:
“Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. ”
"An expert is a person who has made a very narrow field."
What book would you recommend to read to any programmer?
I do not think that I am competent enough to recommend such a book.
I don't feel qualified to recommend such a book.
What do you like to do when you don't write code?
Spending time with your family, playing hockey, listening to music and playing video games.
Listening to your music, playing and playing video games.
Thanks for the interview and see you in Moscow!
