Episode 135: Growing Up Comes with Pain

“This is crazy!”

bang.

Manager Chae slammed the table with his palm and at the same time jumped up from his seat.

A couple drinking at the next table turned their heads and looked at us.

“First of all… please… sit down…”

I also stood up awkwardly and tried to calm Manager Chae down. At my actions, Manager Chae looked around and sat back down on his chair.

“How can you do all that coding by yourself? There’s less than a year left until the deadline! Just say you can’t do it. No. It’s physically impossible.”

“What in the world is impossible? If you put your mind to it, anything will work out.”

Manager Chae, who was nagging while tilting a bottle of alcohol.

He answered nonchalantly and held up his glass with one hand.

“There are thirty apps. Thirty. Even if you are Director Jeong, it is impossible.”

“These days, AI is also good at coding. You can work with that friend.”

“··· Lies. You’ve never even used AI before, sir.”

“I’m going to try writing from now on. It’s a trend these days. Well, that’s not important. How do you make people who say they can’t do it work? I don’t have that kind of talent.”

What can’t be done is what can’t be done. There is nothing more foolish than ordering someone to do something if they have no will.

“No. But this isn’t it.”

I let Manager Chae’s disgruntled voice go in one ear and focused on the blues coming out of the speakers. I nodded and occasionally sang along whenever I heard a familiar phrase.

“We have to somehow get the developers to develop it. That’s their job.”

Manager Chae raised his small fist and swung it in the air. His fist passed through the pop music. The music scattered in all directions at Manager Chae’s punch.

“Okay. It’s easier for me to just do it by myself.”

As I was answering, the song changed to hard rock. My voice tone naturally went up a little bit.

So, Manager Chae and I’s voices got louder and louder.

We were talking to each other more and more, almost like shouting at each other.

at that time.

“Huh? What is it? You two were fighting?”

The director has arrived.

I pulled back my chair and sat down. Then I threw my bag on the empty seat.

“Okay. I’ll be the judge.”

Hurry up and finish the fight. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the glass in his hand. There was a playful expression on his lips.

Manager Chae and I looked at Director Lee with expressions of bewilderment.

“Are you a judge? No matter how I look at it, you look like a spectator.”

“Well, it’s the same thing. But really, why did you fight?”

When I saw this manager reaching for the bottle of alcohol, I grabbed it first.

“What is it? It’s because of the director’s brother.”

How did you manage your brother? As I joked and tilted my glass, the director tilted his head as well.

**

“That kid has always been like that. He doesn’t listen to what other people say.”

The harsh words came out of the director’s mouth. He had only had one glass of soju. That was 100% sincerity, not mixed with alcohol at all.

It looks like Director Lee is angry, while Manager Chae is being cautious with his words.

This time, I became an audience member.

“Manager Chae, you must have accumulated a lot during your time at the company, right? Would you like to take this opportunity to say something?”

“Me? Not at all. I always thought you were a good person. I always respected you from the bottom of my heart.”

“What! Manager Chae! Don’t you trust me?”

“How can I curse the representative in front of his younger brother? I still can’t get fired.”

Manager Chae waved his hands left and right and acted coquettish.

“It’s really disappointing. At times like this, you have to curse along with me to enjoy the drink. Then, Youngjun, what about you? Are you not dissatisfied? You’re making ridiculous and unreasonable demands like this.”

“Huh? No. This time, it wasn’t the CEO who asked me to do it. I raised my hand and said I would do it. Honestly, I don’t really have any complaints.”

“No. Why am I the only one who is angry? That person is weird. He is so self-righteous. He thinks he is better than everyone else. Just him.”

When we didn’t accept it, he beat his chest in frustration.

The siblings really get along well.

As I turned my head slightly with that thought, Manager Chae was smiling with the same expression as me.

“Hey, boss. Why are you so angry? Have a drink.”

Manager Chae raised his glass to appease Director Lee. As they toasted, the drops of alcohol scattered in the air.

After pouring all the soju into my mouth, I put the glass down on the table.

I checked that the oden soup was boiling and turned the gas range lever.

“But Youngjun? Is it really possible to develop something by yourself? Isn’t development usually done by hundreds of people? Can one person do that? Then why are several people doing it?”

“It’s hard at first. But that one person is me.”

I shook my head, deliberately exaggerating, and shrugged my shoulders to the sides.

“Was Youngjun originally like that? It seems like he’s changed a bit.”

“The director was already a bit strange, but he seems to have gotten even slicker recently.”

“You say it tastes good? There’s nothing I can’t say in front of people.”

I filled my glass again with a smile. It was a conversation that was not very nutritious. When today is over, I won’t even remember what we talked about.

Still, I liked this light atmosphere.

I guess I won’t be able to make such lame jokes for a while.

Because I have to do some pegging coding in my sister’s room to keep up with the schedule.

So that’s why.

Today, too.

“Why? Are you leaving already? Would you like one more drink?”

The chair wouldn’t come off my butt. My pants were stuck to me like they were glued to my butt.

**

Software developed by domestic companies has failed to gain traction in the global market.

There are only a handful of cases where success has been achieved in the Asian market, let alone the global market.

In that sense, Ive’s fan community app was an unusual case in Korea.

They took the lead in the software market by leveraging the soft power of an idol group.

By domestic standards, it was an unprecedented success story.

This is probably why this representative firmly believes in his own way to success.

The entertainment company operated applications on a much larger scale than any other domestic IT company.

“Still, that’s true. What kind of entertainment company has so many apps? This won’t work. I need to organize them first.”

I started checking off the list of apps I needed to switch to while muttering.

Shopping mall series that sells albums, tickets, and goods. And fan platform series.

The apps serviced by Ive are largely divided into two types.

Among them, we started to crack the source code of platform-type applications.

As a sample, the app you are most familiar with would be better.

Because I have made similar apps before and have gone through the code several times.

I was somewhat confident though.

As expected, I ran into a problem while typing on the keyboard.

Well, that was to be expected.

Even though they are similar, they are not all the same apps.

Because I wasn’t someone who could write code with just one stroke of a pen.

“There’s too much data floating around? I guess I’ll have to look into some Chinese cases.”

I don’t have much experience with applications that support this level of data.

so.

I plan to use it later when the donation app becomes a global service.

I referred to the bug report posted by Chinese engineers.

For performance optimization work, the materials provided by Chinese engineers were the most helpful.

Because it’s a town where there are millions of concurrent users, it’s ridiculous.

So I started writing code while looking through manuals and bug reports.

Find the manual, fix it, test it, and fix it again.

If you’re bored, repeat boring, simple tasks.

I write programs by checking each and every line of code, like a blind man touching an elephant.

As always, it was a time-consuming and ignorant way.

If this representative’s formula for success was tight organizational management.

‘I’m going to force the results by putting in the time.’

Because this was my formula for success.

Like this representative, I also firmly believed that this method was right.

**

After finishing coding the sample app.

I went outside to get some fresh air.

I don’t even know how long it’s been since I last went out.

I took a deep breath, feeling glad for the fresh air.

I walked to the facility next to my house.

Neverland.

You have entered a dreamland where you never age.

As I opened the door to the facility and entered, the first thing that greeted me was the laughter of the residents.

I went to the facility to tell the center director because I didn’t think I would be able to pay any attention to the facility for a while.

“Sir, please. Our views have been dropping again recently.”

An uninvited guest has appeared in the wild.

Sohyun grabbed my collar and hung on. I lightly pushed her away with my arm and took a step forward.

“No, I can’t. I’m really busy.”

“You’re unemployed, aren’t you? I hear there are a lot of viewers looking for you these days.”

“I’m not unemployed anymore. Please save me. Seriously. I don’t have time. Later. We can do a broadcast together later.”

After arguing like that for a long time,

“Hey, hello? What’s going on?”

As soon as the center director appeared, So-Hyeon released her tightly clenched hand.

Then he took a step back.

He really is a nerd only to me.

After glancing at So-Hyeon with a disgusted look on his face, he explained the whole story to the center director.

Let’s say I ask you to take good care of the facility, as I don’t think I will be able to take care of it in the future.

“It’s okay. Just trust me.”

The center director smiled and nodded slightly.

If it were like before, I wouldn’t have been able to trust it at all.

Now, the atmosphere of the center director has changed a lot.

It seemed like he had come to a realization on his own after the Mr. Jang incident.

People always grow after going through trials.

“Sir! I just crossed my fingers. I promised. Now, this is what I promised!”

So I didn’t want to go through any ordeals.

Without ever growing up.

I just wanted to act stubborn like Sohyun.

**

A sample app that was created with much effort.

I went back to Ive to do a performance check.

I passed through the main gate of Ive with great confidence.

He had such an imposing demeanor that I even considered kicking the door open like Sohyun.

As I carefully push open the door and enter the office, tension seeps through the partitions.

The employees’ expressions are filled with venom.

‘It’s been shaved. It’s been shaved.’

After I visited last time, it seems like the representative danced the sword dance really well.

The employees’ expressions were haunted, as if they were possessed by ghosts, as they were so excited about the good.

Employees who wear patches instead of amulets around their necks and type on their keyboards,

Blood is flowing to the eyes.

With such an anxious mind, I opened the conference room door.

The representative was sitting with his arms crossed, while other employees were standing with their hands behind their backs.

“Are you here? This way. Please sit here.”

As soon as the representative saw me, he stood up from his seat.

“Yes. I just made one as a sample. I’ll just check the performance and if there are no issues, I’ll continue like this.”

“Is this the Red Blue fan community?”

“Because it’s the app I use the most.”

Even though I was only a user.

However, since it is the easiest app, I decided to use RedBlue’s fan platform as my first choice.

Unlike the way the representative looked at me and smiled brightly.

“You fixed the app in just two weeks?”

The employees’ expressions were stiff.

“No, I said that doesn’t make sense. Sir, that’s physically impossible.”

“There can’t be no problem. We can only know for sure after checking the performance. I’ll prepare the test right away.”

There was a note of hostility in the voices of the staff.

How on earth did that gentleman, Representative, do the sword dance?

I wonder if the employees who were innocently scratching their heads two weeks ago are glaring at me with fierce eyes today.

Oh my.

That’s why I said I felt more comfortable doing it alone.

This representative and I have very different ways of achieving success.

“Okay. Let’s see. How long have our employees been holding on to something that an outsider was doing alone?”

So I felt even more uncomfortable.
