The Harsh Truth About Software Industry

The Harsh Truth about Software Industry.


For all of you folks out there  who are about to join or dreaming of joining the

software industry need to check the following points before you go on becoming

a hedgehog of this industry. So let’s go from negative points of this so-called software

industry.


Software Industry is No Normal Job.


As in the case of other industries the knowledge that you have learnt once or might

be a couple of years ago would be sufficient here it won't. Every Software in the

market comes with a newer version every year. The technology industry is booming

with competition and  competition brings the ever changing world of software.

Hence you need to study every moment of your technology you are working on.


Flexible Timings are a Myth.

  

If a firm says you have flexible timings believe me that just means if the company

needs you, you’ll be working weekends, sure the perks will be there for some firms.

If you think flexible timings just means that you can go in-out of the company anytime

that’s not true at all, every company mandates the employee to complete a certain hours

of work and no firm is fool enough to make you work for 3-4 hours of the day. For

most firms these hours would be 45 hours a week, for some 9-10 hours a day.


Project Deliveries Would Be Tough Times.


    What is a project delivery?. Most People think it's just a time where you submit what you

have worked for a year. So let me clear this out first. Project Delivery is that time/phase of 

your career which would occur every year or even twice a year when you are in this Industry.

You would be required to finish all the tasks required with a deadline. And remember this is

the time where all your past mistakes will haunt you. All that you did in the past for this day

will be coming with some bugs which once resolved will create another problem going into

an endless loop for a couple of months. You will be required to work in immense pressure

and time wherein the management would be monitoring you every second of your work.



Management Sometimes can be a Mess.

    Yes this is in fact a harsh truth of the Software Industry. Management / Manager for some

might be a mess and may cause a lot of trouble for the developers. Why ?? Well first of all,

most managers in the software industry are an MBA without experience of how the product

is designed or developed. And since these so called MBA manager’s go ahead as the face of

the product you developed they are the one’s to get suggestions for your product’s improvements

which in turn might be a headache for a software developer. 



So is it all that you need to check? Surely no Software Industry has a lot to offer than these

above points if you have the right attitude towards it.

Python: Creational Design Patterns.

Creational Design Patterns. Creational Design Patterns are one of the simplest sets of Design Patterns. Advantages Object creation can be independent of class implementation. Adding support to a new type of object is very easy The logic of object creation is hidden . Creational Design Patterns Include 1) Singleton Design Pattern This Pattern states that at a given time there should be only one `instance` of any given object. Thus reusing the object over and over again. Singleton Object creation has only 2 sets of rules to be followed. 1) Object Must have only Single Instance Created. 2) There should be global access to the object created. In Python Singleton is easiest to create for any given class. Since the `__new__` is always a class method in python (until version 3.8). You can always modify this method to make your object as a Singleton Object. Advantages Only a single instance is created hence low memory usage. Faster Execution Since the Class is Not instantiated multiple times. ...

Caching Algorithms (LRU Cache).

Implementation of LRU Cache Using Python What is a Cache? A cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.   What Is An LRU Cache? So an LRU Cache is storage of items so that future access to those items can be serviced quickly and an LRU policy is used for cache eviction. The Constraints/Operations      Lookup of cache items must be O(1)      Addition to the cache must be O(1) Our Structures Doubly Linked List: This will hold the items that our cache has. We will have n items in the cache. This structure satisfies the constraint for fast addition since any doubly linked list item can be added or removed in O(1) time with proper references. Hashtable: The hashtable will give us fast access to any item in the doubly linked list items to avoid O(n) search for items...

Python 4.0.0 Will it be released ??

Python 4.0.0 As of July 28, 2021, Python version 2.9.6 has been released.  One of the biggest tasks for most of the python community was when the last major shift happened i.e. Python 2 Projects were to be migrated to Python 3. Most of us found the whole new change in the python package's way of writing, and at most of the places, the handling of Unicode was a mess. So the big picture stands when will Python Version 4.0 be released? Will the next major version of python bring any major changes in old codes? And at last, will it create a mess again for migrations of our Old Projects? Well as per the latest guidelines on Python.org unlike Python 2.9 and then Python3 the shift to Python 4 won't be so early. As per  Guido van Rossum, creator of the popular programming language, Python 4 is still far away. Python-Dev Community would be working on the Python 3.11.0a0 version of Python which is expected to be released by the end of the year 2021. So no all the major fuss about Pytho...
