What do you do for a living? many people used to ask me this kind of question, and I always answer with two words “Software Engineer”. and there’s multitudes of people reaction that comes from that answer.
Some people give the the looks of “as-if-I-can-crash-a-plane-by-using-my-laptop” and the other just give me the typical “Oh”. Some people give me the looks “that-is-a-green-occupation” and some other just give me the typical “Oh” 
Software Engineering itself is a harsh field, that consists of computers, cubicles, lines of codes and many sad overwork nights.. that the harsh part that many of this blog reader could relate to, and bout the good parts.. many of you would just close this page if I start to explain the magic of suddenly dissapearing variables, the horror of bugs, the exciting feelings related to line of codes that can solve many people problems, the orgasmic feeling of finding O(1) algorithm for a searching function. (see.. I only mention the outlines, but the thing you can think of are “Close.. close.. close damnit!”).
OK I’ll give you something you can relate to about this good part of being Software Engineer. It is the feeling of a father (or mother) when they see their child graduated and become someone good. Yup exactly that kind of feeling! How you ask? well Software Engineering is a combination of product and service industry, we dwelve alot in the making of a Software that we hope it can help people, easing their life, relieve them from problems and give them a good night sleep (I know that is a very idealist point of view) but have you ever trapped with hundreds of data and how Excel can give you a good night sleep? or how you want to manage an online store without the hassle of creating static contents and track many of Invoices and POs? or do you can imagine how celebrities without Photoshop?
I don’t write Excel nor Photoshop, but some of Softwares that I wrote has grown somewhere and help people from their problems (or still give them the same problem with at least a better User-Interface ) that one of the good feeling of being a software engineer.
Yeah.. that’s what exactly what I do.
I am a Software Engineer infact, a good looking one
Trying to write in English, and I think I did not makes any sense at all
yes, you can crash the plane using your laptop. just hit the pilot with it
eventhough I’ll never understand your job, om, I do understand the part of “the feeling of a father (or mother) when they see their child graduated and become someone good”
and it feels good when you see someone use/read/talk about your work… =D
I understand your feeling…
It’s really hard become a good looking software engineer….
Erm…
