…But why software?
You might think that buying a computer might guarantee you “the experience”, after all - you have all the nuts and bolts under the bonnet, the IT-horsepower that everyone claims to be so powerful.
But a computer itself is indeed just like a car - you have to buy a World for him to drive in. The world itself determines what you can do in your car, where you can get, how fast, its parameters define your speed, range and comfort of your ride.
And sometimes, these worlds simply don’t have everything you dream about - like a Loop of Death or 5-lane motorway with no speed limit.
What’s the point of having a modern car if you can’t use it in the ways you like?
That’s exactly the role of software in Today’s world - to enable us to do things quicker, smarter and provide us with a level of automation of mundane everyday’s tasks.
But do you really need a custom built software?
Not always.
Sometimes it’s enough to have your typical Windows XP machine with Office XP installed and you don’t need much more to do what you have to do - all of these machines have the web browser included which allows them to use the biggest network in the world.
But that biggest network is also a separate world in a sense - and web software gives him a shape. This world seems to gradually take over other worlds, abstracting physical operations and giving them abstract, digital form.
Do you remember your last visit to your bank? I bet you know your last 3 operations on your account though.
Developing software then - is a good opportunity to unleash the creativity in order to make people’s lifes easier and more enjoyable.
It is an art.
Without which we wouldn’t be able to live anymore, being used to our standard of living.
I’m currently in the phase of looking for interesting problems to solve, or new products to develop, so if you have any problems that need tackling - just give me a shout
