Who am I and why am I struggling?

An IT guy who’s struggling, for real? Aren’t all IT guys super smart, writing smart algorithms and aren’t guys in IT just generally coming up with really smart ideas and getting really well payed for it?

I’m happy to tell you that that’s not the case.

Is my pay check showing a higher $ amount than the effort I put in my work? Yes

Am I writing smart algorithms? No

Do I sometime come up with great ideas? Yes

Do I sometime come up with really poor ideas? Yes

Do I get payed for the shitty mistake I do? Yes

Some of my friends tell me that I get way, way over payed for just staring at a computer screen and I can partly agree to that assumption. Actually, big part of my job involves staring at a computer screen. Staring into code. It actually involves a whole lot of staring.

But my friends don’t see the whole picture.. they don’t see that by staring at my computer screen I’m trying to solve a problem that my client has. I’m solving it so that my client can solve his client’s problems and make money. In the end we’re all making money.

But wait.. you said you’re struggling but you’re still making a lot of money and you’re also solving problems for you client? That’s right. I’m solving my client’s problem but not my own.

You see.. I have my own problems. And I want spend my time solving my own problems rather than my clients’. I want to make myself more efficient, I want to make me more satisfied and I want to help myself to make more money.

That’s what this blog is about.
