プログラム言語を扱う業界に「KISS」という有名なスローガンがあります。好きな言葉のひとつです。
「Keep It Short & Simple」もしくは「Keep It Simple, Stupid」
コーディングは短く読みやすく、共有しやすいようにしよう、の意味です。（後者は言葉荒いけどノリ良き）Stupid（バカ、愚か） は、silly（ばかな、不合理） や idiot（馬鹿、白痴） より強めらしい。by 英会話の先生
またこれらと別に「未来の自分は他人と思え」という格言もあります。昔自分が書いたコードなんて、数日後でも解読できなかったりします。おー皆そうなんですね。ヲタ先輩方を尊敬する心持ち。
どんな分野であっても、勉強していると、つい初心を忘れがちになる。初心者を脱せそうだと驕りが出て、慣れが失敗を誘発して、ちょっと世間が見えてきて見上げると、到底先が見えない難易度にうなだれて、自己中が恥ずかしくなって、結果の見えない基礎練を繰り返して。
どの段階が心穏やかなんだろう。きっといつまでも満足できないのだ。勉強している今が一番幸せなのだと、後で振り返れば思うかもしれない。未熟でも、成長したい一心で亀の歩みを積み重ねてる自分をもうちょっと素直に褒めてあげたい←できてない。これは性格かー。甘やかすと何もしないんだもん。だからって焦ると考えすぎて動けない。数十年定着してきた考え癖は矯正に時間がかかる…。
何においても自己満足しかない
焦るのはやるべきことをやってないから。階段飛ばして成功したいとか、自分はもっとできるのに、なんて過大評価して調子乗ってるから。自己満足が過ぎる。でも自己満足がないと生きていけない。人生の半分にきてやっと、他人の評価より自分の評価を優先しようと決められたので、自己肯定と折り合いつけてやっていきます。永遠の中２病な気がしてきた。
20年の会社勤めは意味があった！これは間違いない。夜勤とワンオペで最頻値よりは飲み遊びもせず、健康診断はオールA、なかなかルーティンな時代だったな。
プライベートの英文メールの最後に書く「XOXO」は「hugs and kisses」の略でした。最初友人からのメールを読んだときは意味不明で調べました。こちらは「Sincerely」とか書いてました。硬すぎ！英文メールって日本ほど改行しませんね。昔は英文複数行見ただけで気後れしたものだ…すこしは成長したかな。
*********
There is a famous slogan in the programming language industry called "KISS". It's one of my favorite words.
"Keep It Short & Simple" or "Keep It Simple, Stupid"
This means making your coding short, easy to read, and easy to share. (The latter is a rough word.) Stupid (idiot, stupid) seems to be stronger than silly (stupid, irrational) and idiot (idiot). by my English conversation teacher
Apart from these, there is also a saying that says, ``Think of your future self as someone else.'' Codes that you wrote a least time ago may not be able to be deciphered after a few days. Oh, everyone is like that. Feelings of respect for Otaku seniors.
No matter what field I'm in, it's easy to forget my original intentions when I'm studying. If I think I can escape being a beginner, I become arrogant, my familiarity leads to failure, and when I start to see the world a little more and look up, I hang my head down at the level of difficulty I can't see beyond, and I feel ashamed of my own selfishness, and I can't see the results. Repeat the basic training.
At what stage do I feel calm? I'm sure I'll never be satisfied. Looking back, I may think that you were happiest when all you did was study.
Even though I'm immature, I honestly want to praise myself for taking the steps of a tortoise with a single-minded desire to grow.←I can't. Is this my personality? If I spoil me, nothing will happen. However that's why if I rush, I think too much and can't move. It takes time to correct habits of thought that have been ingrained for decades.
Nothing but self-satisfaction
The reason I'm in a hurry is because I'm not doing what I should be doing. It's because we overestimate ourselves and get carried away, thinking we're going to succeed by flying up the stairs, or that we can do better. Too complacent. But I can't live without complacency. Halfway through my life, I finally decided to prioritise my own evaluation over that of others, so I have come to terms with self-affirmation. I feel like I'll be thinking like a secondary school pupil forever.
Working for a company for 20 years has been meaningful. There's no mistake about it. It was a time when I worked night shifts, didn't drink, didn't gamble, got all A's in health exams and lived a routine life.
The "XOXO" at the end of private English emails was an abbreviation for "hugs and kisses". When I first read my friend's email, I looked it up because it didn't make sense.
At first, my reply wrote "Sincerely". Too formal! English emails don't use line breaks as much as they do in Japan. I used to be intimidated by a few lines of English... I guess I've grown up a bit.
