I have been in Software industry for 2 years now, and this is what I feel. If you are “Talented” no one needs you. If you know how to solve problems and can do stuff that really doesn’t matter, atleast this is what I feel. As employeer only need his company grow, no matter what way it grows.

I have joined my company as “Web Developer” in PHP, But in last one year of so with my company, now I have been given a designation of “Project Manager”. infact quite a while ago I was promoted to this designation. I have develop sites in ASP.Net on windows 2003 server, configure this server for few .Net related stuff, Configure IIS to host web services used in my ASP.Net application.

Also, I am responsible for handling our In house Linux server, its configurations, installation etc.

PHP, Perl ,ASP, ASP.Net are few languages I am currently working, not to mention HTML, Javascript , XML , CSS are basic for web development. A Web developer is nothing without these four things.

Still, I am not the best in my company, Still I lack behind to many who are only able to develop application using other’s code or Open Source Code, which i am not capable of logic.

My biggest weakness is I am not able to find codes other can find on “Google”. I only thing and write logics for them, only few time I get codes from google or yahoo or forums. To become a Successfully Developer this is very weak point that you cannot search free codes.
Well I guess I should Start using open sources code, and become a Member of Proud Association called CAPPA ( Copy And Paste Programmer Association), because this is what Matter at the end.

Sad story ends here..:o)
