To be a programmer, you have to be an expert in math, have above-average intelligence, and memorize a lot of data... If you start believing all the myths circulating on the internet related to programming, you'll probably have a hard time deciding to start learning programming.

As with any profession, misconceptions related to programming and software development are usually perpetuated by those who are completely unfamiliar with the field. Let's hope that all those who want to become programmers in the future will take these claims with a grain of salt and thoroughly check the sources before making a decision.

That's why we asked the two professors from Brainster Next College , Petar Jolakoski and Gorjan Popovski, to solve at least some of our dilemmas and answer the five most famous myths related to programming.



These are their answers:

Myth #1: Programmers will soon be out of a job!

It is true that automation in all fields related to software has a great impact on the type and quantity of certain positions. But guess who is creating these automation tools? That's right, the same programmers rcs data romania are afraid of being out of a job! One way or another, for a long time to come, programmers will have a permanent and stable job market.


Myth #2: There is so much to remember!

This can be said for any field: law, medicine, chemistry… Regardless, “remembering” things is only part of what further creates knowledge and experience. Nowadays, factual information can be found incredibly quickly, and with little effort – “Google”. When was the last time you didn’t have access to the Internet? But the real value of an expert in any field lies in experience, knowledge and critical thinking skills.


Myth #3: If you are a programmer, you will be a millionaire!

While IT careers are always above average paying in most markets, the absolute claim that “I’ll get rich” by entering a new career is always a myth. If one’s goal is to get rich through professional growth, it requires a lot of effort, a lot of work, and most importantly, luck in being in the right place at the right time where one’s knowledge can be used to seize the opportunity.
