Comments on: My first month at Hex-Rays https://ntcore.com/my-first-month-at-hex-rays/ Tue, 25 May 2010 10:47:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Daniel Pistelli https://ntcore.com/my-first-month-at-hex-rays/#comment-204 Tue, 25 May 2010 10:47:08 +0000 http://rcecafe.net/?p=136#comment-204 Thanks Jeremy. Sorry for the late reply, but your comment ended up in the spam box (strange).

I _totally_ understand what you mean.
It’s true that I needed a job and that’s mostly why I’m here, but the experience is also useful.
To me the biggest problem is that I like to work at home at my own pace, rather than in an office, where I am usually unhappy.
Now, my apartment here in Belgium is rented for one year, after that time I will think about my situation again. Also, I was hired by Hex-Rays when I was 23 and turned 24 3 months ago. So, it wasn’t too late to try something new.

It is a shame you are no longer independent, though I certainly understand the reasoning. I failed at coping with the corporate/managed world a couple times, so have remaining independent. I have always struggled, but I find it the best way for a programmer to keep his passion and creativity. If you are lucky, you may just strike gold.. but its hard for that to happen confined in a ‘day to day job’.

The flip-side is that a ‘job’ offers security, something being independent doesn’t. Having to worry if I’ll be able to pay my rent each month is frustrating, needless to say ;(. However, there is also contract work you could do for short periods.

Just beware.. don’t have a breakdown. If you like it there, great. If you find it stifles you, then leave.. but don’t do either on my advice. Also, if you leave, there’s no reason to self-destruct or burn bridges, lol.

Congrats!
Going to work every day and working with people vs. Working from home is a big change 🙂
Especially after you have worked from home for some time…

No more ‘today I don’t feel like coding’ 😀

There are significant advantages however when working with others, especially those sharing the same level of passion.

Good luck!

Atanas: thanks! Well, I don’t know, but for this particular task I had some specific knowledge. Maybe in the future Ilfak decides to hire more people. One never knows…
