Technician, not a Programmer


Many of you may not be aware, but I'm actually a technician. I studied Information Technology in college which majored in Programming. Needless to say, I sucked at coding(which is the heart of the programming) to be exact. In college when we're making projects, I always volunteer to do the non-coding stuff (i.e.: flowcharts, some database designing, documentation, printing, buying food, making coffee and other errands) which didn't help to improve my coding skills at all. So even before we graduated, I already knew that I wasn't destined to be a programmer. Lucky for me, on my first job, I got to work for one of the biggest software giants. I started with the non-technical department but I got a glimpse of how huge the company is and how I only knew a tenth of the products and services that they have. Then another lucky opportunity came, I was accepted to the technical part and the best part? NO CODING!!! *thumbs up* I still struggled since I’ve never really been technical, I started with virtually zero technical knowledge, I was your average 20-something who knows stuff because I tinker around them. Fast forward four years later, I’m still here (on my first job, technically) and I learned a thing or two and I'd like to think I'm no longer your average computer user. 

I’ll be sharing a few stuff and hopefully, it’ll be useful. If you happen to read by, drop some comments or suggestions, maybe I can make a blog about that.
