Difference in Coding at student and professional life

In college we used to code. We still code today.

But there is a huge difference in the process behind it .

This I believe requires a different view to the work we do.

In college the focus or the emphasis is on the work ( say Coding ) has to be done by you .

Now and now onwards (mostly) the focus is that the work has to be done.

What I mean is in college the assignments have to be done by you .

Exams are given by you and marks have to be scored by you .

But now the work just has to be done, not necessarily by you .

You might be responsible for a piece of work. That is the work is completed or no is you responsibility but not necessarily done by you.

It can be done by you , by you sub – ordinate , by your colleague, by your senior or by your friend .

Infact you are more appreciated if you are capable of getting work out of other people than doing it well yourself.

In college you can survive working in isolation. What I mean I can do my work like finish my assignments, my studies, give my exams. I don’t have to depend on others

to finish my work and do well.

But now I can’t work in isolation. I have to depend on other people to finish their work so that I can start mine if there is dependency.

So I can do everything correct but end up on the wrong side if someone else did do his work in the correct manner. And same could happen to other.

We get a glimpse of these things when we do a project at college level with other people .

But there we atleast have an option of people who we will work with.

Now we might not even have that.

These are the changes in the way we look at work which are required after college .

Have a great day J
