CODER LEE YONGHO – CHAPTER 42: BASICS OF CODING (1)

 

A big company differred starting from the ID card.

YongHo, who had put the ID card around his neck, was bothered about the watchful gazes around him, but he didn’t really hate it.

The luxuriousness inside seem to speak as to why people go on and on about big companies.

‘Good.’

YongHo, who was sitting on his seat, was called by Jeong DanBi.
“Mr. YongHo, come to the conference room for a bit.”

In the conference room were sitting the people who YongHo saw at the interview.

Son SeokHo.

Heo JiHoon had the expression of not being convinced but he didn’t say anything.

“Oh, the person who solved the transaction error.”

“Please take care of me in the future.”

After a little introduction, Son SeokHo called YongHo alone.

“Nice to meet you. My name… you know already, there are high expectations on you Mr. YongHo.”

Son SeokHo was honestly surprised.

He didn’t say it out loud but he had even thought that perhaps he was a genius.

Moreover YongHo didn’t even have 1 year of developing experience.

“Oh, yes.”

Son SeokHo asked with a sweet bean bread in his mouth. The figure of him eating bread while moving his mouth made him look no better than a elementary school student.

One of arch foundation’s projects, maut’s, committer.

YongHo was curious about the skills of an open source committer. He also had a program that he had a hard time on, and didn’t manage to finish. It was source related to an indroid customized view.

YongHo calmly finished explaining about the view he was making. Son SeokHo, who heard it, showed interest.

Looking at that figure, YongHo went into more detail.

“This is a view where the screen will shatter like glass and disappear, but the thing I have a problem with is the part where the effect should be a little different according to the surface area touched but it isn’t easy.”

Just one thing.

He didn’t solve that part so he didn’t upload it on gethub.

YongHo downloaded the source from his own SVN account and showed it to Son SeokHo. And he started explaining one by one. The source started with a comment.

/**

*

* @version 1.0, 2015.3.1 method for effect intensity added

*/

The majority of the programs didn’t have comments due to being chased by time. Son SeokHo being surprised after looking at YongHo’s code wasn’t out of the blue.

“If I am disappointed in anything, it’s the fact that the comments are not detailed enough. What kind of functions are in the view which shatters like glass when touched and how each method uses what kind of parameter, etc. But I think you followed the basic principle.”

Avoid repetition and don’t include special characters.

Son SeokHo mentioned the parts that YongHo didn’t consider.

The work which, he thought, started with just a few advices was turning into a code review.
An open source committer was clearly different from others.

“The name for this method is windowWidth but what does this method do?”

“Hmm… Do you know the rules for naming methods?”

The custom was to start with a noun for a variable and a verb for a method to differentiate between them.

“Yes……”

Son SeokHo spoke without holding back. YongHo couldn’t say anything because it was all true.

And YongHo had the right attitude.

“Haha, that honest attitude is good. The stuff I just said now are mistakes that people starting coding make a lot. Developing new programs is good but you also need to remember the basics. If not, then even if you upload a revolutionary program onto gethub, nobody will look at it. After all, who would want to read a novel with incorrect grammar? Solid basics are a must.”

The meticulousness was a level different from An ByungHoon.

Son SeokHo seemed to treat the code as if he was treating a piece of artwork.

It was to the point that YongHo’s teeth started clattering even though he liked programming.

“What? He can’t come to our company because he went to Shinseki?”

“*Sigh*… The contract won’t be affected just because of some fresh graduate right?”

Perhaps that gaze was too unbearable, but the man quickly replied.

“Ok. You may leave.”

Shinseki vice-president Park KiChun.
After confirming the name, Kim ManHo called.

Perhaps they knew each other already but there was a simple greeting before they went to the main topic.

-That matter has already been mostly transferred to team leader Jeong DanBi. So I think it’s difficult for us to leave the development to Mirae IT.

Kiosk.

Mirae IT had the precondition that they had to analyze the information from the kiosks to develop the service.

The sensitivity to private information was one of the reasons but there was not much methods to gather such data.

The world was now where data had value.

Shinseki vice-president Park KiChun had no knowledge regarding technology so he seemed surprised at Kim ManHo’s words and asked back.

“Yes. As you know already, don’t we have the know-how from providing the recommendation service to KO Telecom? Add to that, the contract for KO Telecom’s next generation recommendation system, the K-Recommendation is as good as ours. Team leader Jeong DanBi’s ability will definitely be top-notch but she would have to spend effort in doing other things too, doesn’t she?”

“According to what I heard, team leader Jeong DanBi employed a problem child a while back. Even we didn’t hire him because he had some problems… he’s called Lee YongHo……”

“Yes. Well, he’s just an ordinary employee but I’m only saying this because he may perhaps harm team leader Jeong’s top-notch ability.”

“Please relay it to president Jeong JinHoon.”

He was Jeong DanBi’s older brother and Shinseki Group CEO Jeong JinYong’s second son.

-I understand for now.

Kim ManHo opened his notebook after ending the call.

Kim ManHo, who started as an ordinary employee and became a director while aiming for the president position, was looking at his notepad where this was written.
