文章讲述了佩德罗·大卫·加西亚·洛佩斯(Pedro David Garcia Lopez)的故事,他38岁时从卡车司机转行成为Ruby on Rails开发者。佩德罗最初对计算机的兴趣始于12岁时参加的一个打字课程,当时他们从更先进的设置转移到计算机,有时在MS-DOS或Windows 3.1上工作。尽管来自一个条件有限的家庭,但他对计算机的热爱从未消失。18岁时,他买了自己的第一台电脑,开始感受到学习编程的必要性。然而,由于生活压力,他并没有真正进入编程领域,直到多年后,他决定追求成为开发者的童年梦想。 佩德罗在LinkedIn上看到了关于Flatiron School的广告,这是一个提供编程训练营的教育机构。他决定参加这个训练营,学习了Ruby和Rails。完成课程后,他在一家公司找到了工作,尽管薪水比做卡车司机时低,但他非常珍惜这个机会。佩德罗喜欢Ruby和Rails的原因是它们的社区和不断发展的生态系统。他还推荐了一些编程书籍,并强调学习如何学习的重要性。 佩德罗的故事强调了追求梦想永远不会太晚,特别是开始学习编程。他鼓励新程序员努力工作,大胆提问,并学习Ruby和Rails。他还建议找到一个导师或愿意帮助你的人。总的来说,佩德罗的经历表明,通过努力和热情,任何人都可以实现职业转变。

kgf1980: I went the opposite way (in the UK) and moved from development (mainly C#) to lorry driving (everything from 12T rigids to 44T artics) however in my free time I’m enjoying developing (some RoR, some Golang) more than when I was paid to do it.<p>Although I’m working more hours (average 50-52 hours a week compared to 38-40), I’m also much better compensated doing HGV driving than I ever was as a developer (although that may reflect more on my skills/level as a developer than anything else)
kgf1980: 我走了相反的路(在英国),从开发(主要是C#)转向了卡车驾驶(从12T刚度到44T articles,无所不包)。然而,在我的空闲时间里,我比获得报酬时更喜欢开发(一些RoR,一些Golang)。<p>尽管我工作的时间更长(平均每周50-52小时,而不是38-40小时),但我驾驶重型货车的报酬也比作为开发人员时高得多(尽管这可能比其他任何事情都更能反映我作为开发人员的技能水平)
skort: It's great to see people being able to pivot their careers later in life. That said,<p>> folks overcoming challenges just to be on the same playground as everyone else<p>This has the same energy as "Kids raise money to buy classmate a wheelchair" news articles, where sure it makes you feel good to see people doing good in the world, but completely ignores that the system we live in keeps certain people down on purpose.
skort: 它;很高兴看到人们能够在以后的生活中调整自己的事业。也就是说,<p>>;人们克服挑战只是为了和其他人在同一个操场上<p>这与“;孩子们筹钱给同学买轮椅";新闻文章,当然,看到人们在这个世界上做好事会让你感觉很好,但完全忽略了我们生活的制度会故意压制某些人。
Havoc: Wouldn’t mind a crack at programming but coming from finance world the salary math isn’t quite as easy as lorry driver. I’d need to land something pretty senior which isn’t credible
Havoc: 我不介意尝试编程,但来自金融界的薪资数学并不像卡车司机那么简单。我需要找到一些不可信的高级职位
rekoros: Sometimes I wonder what kind of a world we'd be living in if places like Flatiron School and the various bootcamps taught Elixir instead of Ruby.<p>Also, "lorry" is such a great word, too bad there's no use for it in the US.
rekoros: 有时我想知道我们所处的世界是什么样的;如果像熨斗学校和各种训练营这样的地方教Elixir而不是Ruby,我会住在那里<p> 此外,“;卡车”;是一个如此伟大的词,太糟糕了;it’在美国没有用。
koinedad: Are Ruby on Rails positions still pretty popular?
koinedad: RubyonRails的位置还很流行吗?
