Why geeks should write? Wow, in most people's mind, geeks are staying in front of
computers day and night. However, why are they spending so much time writing
and working on computers?First of all. Obviously, they write programs. However,
not only programs are one of the most important things that geeks are writing,
but also journals. Nowadays, many good programmers have the habit of writing
journals every day for debugging, designing, or just recording. A fabulous
program is never done in one time. Programmers have to debug many times before
the program is perfect unless they have a Super Brain. If a programmer does not
write journal about what they've done so far, he may forget what he is doing at
the next day. With a journal, he can quickly remind himself where he has been
so far. Besides journal, geeks should write something to explain
what their programs are. Codes are not only written for the programmer to read,
but also for others programmers or users. If only the programmers can
understand the code, the code is rubbish. Codes are written for every user to
use or edit. Therefore, geeks must learn how to make everybody understand their
codes in whatever language. I believe a good programmer is often a good writer
and speaker. This is also a good factor of making a 'geek' become successful 'geek' !
