The job of a programmer (Developer or Dev)
Talking about programmers, many of you will immediately think of web programming, game programming, software programming, etc. They are simply people who use codes (commands, code snippets, ...) to create a complete program. With a project (web, game, software) there will be a group of programmers involved and a leader (team leader) who is responsible for assigning work to each person and supervising the implementation of that project. After completing the work, there is a person called Tester who is responsible for running the program and "picking up" the errors of the programmer. Not only that, the people involved in the programmer's error-catching process are also countless: Leaders, webmasters, product users, SEOers, even colleagues. If it's good, it's okay, but if you can't find out what's wrong, if you can't fix it, everything will be more tense than the strings.

That's all the most basic things that programmers have to do, face during a project. There is also a point to note that each project is different in nature, uses different code and has different priorities. And there are countless other problems that  programmers  will experience during their working years.

What do programmers need?
It can be seen that programming is a profession that requires a huge amount of gray matter. Not only that, the requirements for a real programmer are much stricter than you can imagine. Here are the qualities and skills you should practice if you want to stick with this profession for a long time and be successful:

Logical thinking: As mentioned, each programmer will take on a part of the work in the project. So why do you need to think so much? You need to think about what product users need, how to make that program most convenient. Besides, it is necessary to have an open mind to know if what you do will affect the work of others and if it goes against what the Leader proposes. This is why the two subjects math - believe always go together. The more logical you are, the more successful you are.
Approach the problem: This is also part of logical thinking. In the life of every  programmer  will go through many projects, with each new project you need to have a reasonable approach to grasp the common work as well as your part. Approaching the problem is an extremely important skill if you want to make a really cool show.
Teamwork and Independent Work: There's no contradiction here. Work in groups when you need to exchange and compare each other's work. And independent work is needed when you focus on your work. There will be times when you sit alone for a very long time, do not want to get up because the work is still very messy. That's why instant noodles, beef jerky, and coffee are close friends of many programmers.
Self-study and persistence: Learn online, learn through Leader, learn from colleagues, etc. A programmer can never make the most of what he has learned, but try to use them to the fullest. Not only that, persistence is always needed. Persevere in learning, persevering in practice and fixing errors, persevering in work, etc. There are many words of perseverance that you need to know and do.
Design skills: In fact, sometimes programmers will be assigned to design for their website or software when the company does not have a designer. Your programs must be easy to use, highly applicable and attractive to viewers and users. Capturing trends in the market and customer habits is essential. The more research you do, the more successful your product will be.

Purpose of a programmer
In Vietnam, to find a satisfactory job in programming is not easy even though there are many businesses with recruitment needs. What I want to emphasize here is a satisfactory job. You can know many different programming languages, have many skills and experience, but you need a good environment to fulfill your purpose.

People who like to make money need a business that pays well after every project, every year of work. They tend to work against the clock to get as much money as possible. There are also people who want to stick with the programming profession but still enjoy the freedom of time, without having to run projects, without having to fix bugs (these people have no economic burden). In fact, programming projects always require a very urgent deadline, so no matter what your purpose is, you are easily caught up in the flow of work. One project after another, piling up on top of each other leaves you with no time to rest.

So think twice before pursuing this career. You can work in Japanese, Korean, ... or domestic companies. Wherever you are, passion is indispensable. It will help you get through the most difficult times and realize your dreams. Programming is a difficult profession, but it is indispensable in the development of the country's information technology industry. If you want the country to go up, don't hesitate to contribute. Finally, I want those of you who have become  programmers and have been successful in your career to share your experiences for the next generation. It is the best medicine to help children be consistent with their choices.
