How to painlessly change the field of activity?

Question

Programming

There is 1 programmer available. I have been sick with computers since childhood. He wrote in assembler and BASIC for the Spectrum, in Pascal and Cubase at school, in Delphi, C, Lisp and Prologue at the institute. On php and html from hunger. But, that's not the issue. I accidentally got into franchising and connected my professional activity with 1C.
Now I am a good 1C specialist, with a good salary, but my soul does not lie with him.
Actually, the question is:
Is it possible to somehow painlessly tie up with 1C and become a C ++ developer?

Answer 1

painlessly, in no way
, a coordinated change of activity can pass painlessly in twenty years, and if you are over 30 it is always very stressful
, so I have a good friend sergey, he read my blog at the age of 35 and decided to leave Moscow and change jobs, before that he worked like you are a 1C programmer, learned js + node in two years, started working on upwork and moved to live in Thailand with his wife and child from Moscow.

Answer 2

It all depends on you, with your knowledge of 1C and experience in programming, you can easily integrate programs, applications with 1C, and customers often need this. For example, connecting an online store with 1C, or a program for calculating "something there" with the function of entering the results into the 1C database.
I think you can do it, the main thing is not to be afraid and try.
Good luck to you =)

Answer 3

A programming language is just a tool to move, you need to know the specifics of the direction, you need a theory, learning the language is not a problem. And theory is a great pain, it's a lot of time, the only thing I can advise is to understand yourself, understand what you want and do your home project for a year, think about it, live for it, learn the zen of architecture, and then it will be seen , to which everything will lead.
And if you really want to become a C ++ programmer, then keep in mind that this is all too niche a programming language and every year more and more companies refuse it. And it takes a long time to learn. What is worth only the reduction of the brain to understand the template metaprogramming. I would advise you to choose something else. Look better towards C#/Java.

Answer 4

LOW painlessly change the field of activity.
I became a prof. a programmer and worked for 10 years in 3 foreign companies, without a programmer education.

Answer 5

Painlessly you can only put to sleep.
You need to take and do what you need in spite of the pain .

Answer 6

Just try to start writing in C ++, there and evaluate how "painful", it is quite possible that you studied all of the above for good reason, and developed knowledge common to all areas, then it will not "hurt", gain experience in parallel with the main work, and go ahead.

Answer 7

It is possible, but perhaps unnecessary.
Work, it is such, it always "does not lie to the soul." Soul, she is such that she strives to lie down away from any work. If you are satisfied with the salary, then there is no point in changing jobs, if you are not satisfied, find a similar job with a higher salary.
Purely theoretically, no one forbids you to write in C ++. First for free, then for money, and if there comes a moment when the potential income from writing in C ++ exceeds the real one, then this is the very moment when it is worth changing the field of activity.

Answer 8

That is, you want to leave the very profitable 1C segment and go to the shrinking C++ segment and want to do it painlessly.
NO WAY.

Answer 9

C++?
Where does the money come from, especially after 1C?
You can write external components...
