Software profession

Hi all,
I was not blogging for more than 3 months coz i was busy with my work and did not find a computer to put my thoughts.
Coming to my Topic, “Software profession". I would like ask one question to all those highly talented/intelligent people out there in software profession.
Can super Intelligent with excellent academic track record opt Software profession as a career?
I would say in today's world, he should actually not opt it, coz he will finally end up in mid of all those under achievers, no brainers and dummies. And that highly talented guy would get faded away by accepting easier challenges throughout his career.

Look earlier there was no calculators at all and all those NO Brainers would go to intellectuals any calculations, but now things are different, even a corner shop vendor has a calculator which enables him to calculate at finger tips. And the value for those individual who used to do calculations with his finger tips has lost all importance.

So that smart guy decided to pick up a bigger challenge and invented a computer and also programmed in C, C++ and UNIX. Wrote compliers, Editors, Operating Systems and also created complex products.
All those under achievers in s/w industry are now working on different applications like development/enhancements, Testing, Coding, Support etc.
If you want above jobs compared to the calculator then it would be like creating a sine graph for a NO Brainer with the help of scientific function in the calculator.

Do you really want to do it? I am sure most of super intelligent people out there would say NO. But the driving factor in all our lives is the Money It would take higher precedence many times.
I feel sorry for those guys who are really smart out there doing all that crap work.
My suggestion to those people would be.
1. Make right decision before you enter into any industry
2. Set your expectations and plan you career accordingly
3. Always look out for more challenging work

As of now I can think only this much..do give me your comments..

Snow Storm

Snow Storm People don't show, in-spite of no snow. Working from home, is the new word to go. I don't intend to clean my drive way. I know the roads will be slippery on highway My car ran out of gas and all 5 tires went flat. I locked my doors and have no keys to my flat. Kids did not get up, my wife was mad on me. I skipped my breakfast, now don't blame me. I keep giving you the cut and make up the stories. You have free lunch and wine with no worries.

Current Trends

How it all started In the year 2000, Y2K created fear among many companies. Lots of companies had to spend millions of dollars to correct this issue. IBM which created this code did not provide any root cause solution. But asked companies and clients to fix the code at the application level. And at the same time internet was a new phenomenon with lots of people wanting to have a web page on the Internet. But since the internet was still in its infancy, it could not provide any monetary returns. So there was a dot com collapse. When this was happening in the year 2001, 9/11 happened and shocked the entire world and all the markets collapsed.   Later, then the US government wanted to send a message to other countries, that the US market is very stable and incidents like this would not impact them. So radical approach was used to kick start the economy and also they went after the countries which were involved in attacks, which in turn required billions of dollars. But this inorga...

Convivial Camping

“Camping man” was the man of the camp. Be it a forest or land, he moved like a champ. Made pancakes and took us everywhere. He walked brisk and was there to care. Brad Pitt made a great move from his husk. He was happy & content in a camp at dusk. Forgot that he worked at Deloitte. He got the title “log man” which is just rite. We talked and made up the stories of love. Making others laugh was the behove. With all kinds of names, nobody ever knew. It was all fake, did anybody have any clue? The first camping experience was full of fun! I licked my fingers, eating the bun Snacks, drinks and mouthwatering food. Finally, I like to say it was too good!!
