“A coder who only does the implementing according to the specifications given by advanced technicians.”
“Aren’t they programmers all the same?”
“You’ll know if you get in society.”
After finishing the conversation quickly, Sung Kyu sat down in front of the computer. And YongHo sat next to him.
“Hyung, I can just put it over Tomcat(a type of server), right?”
“Yeah, no problem.”
“Are you going to create the DB(database) too?”
“Yeah, I’ll need about 5 tables.”
“What’s the address and account for the DB?”
“Give me a sec.”
It wasn’t the first time they cooperated, so their rhythms matched. They were like two gears that meshed well.
“I can just rearrange and put the API(Application programming interface, a kind of agreement between the server and the client) on the existing document, right?”
“Yeah, let’s do it that way.”
If Sung Kyu surpassed an ordinary college student’s ability, YongHo had no ordinary ability either for a college student. Although it was only a small scale project, He understood well the process of how the finished programs came out. It was all thanks to working with Sung Kyu.
‘Let’s look at the bug window.’
After getting the tasks sorted out, YongHo looked at the bug window. It was only at the starting phase but one or two bugs could be seen.
***
The work went smoothly.
“Hyung, it’s going well, isn’t it?”
“I don’t see a problem with it.”
“Then I’ll test it on the scalaphone.”
– Program ending due to unexpected error.
“What the hell? ANR(Application Not Responding)?”
“Why is this happening?”
“Yeah, it’s strange. On other phones it just works fine.”
YongHo pretended he didn’t know the reason for the ANR but he already knew through the bug window.
OS version clash.
The problem was with the Indroid’s OS version. The version of OS of scalaphone was too outdated to support the newest UI(User interface: basically, program screen).
YongHo pretended to search the internet for a while and asked Sung Kyu as if he just remembered something.
“Hyung, Did you perhaps use the latest UI? Apparently, it says that sometimes if the version of the Indroid OS is too low, it won’t support the latest UI and will cause errors.”
“Really?”
Sung Kyu was searching the internet with the error log from the connection between Eclipse and the scalaphone. After listening to YongHo’s words, he stopped searching, commentized the latest version of Action Bar UI and ran the program again.
“It really works… wow, it seems like I would have wasted a few hours again if not for you.”
“If it was Hyung, you would have solved it quickly.”
“But how did you know without even looking at it?”
“I seem to remember a similar thing happened a while ago.”
“Oh, you are really more capable now, Aren’t you?”
“You would be surprised more and more.”
Even YongHo was surprised that it was actually fixed. At first he thought it was a coincidence. Second time, he lifted the doubt from his heart. The third time, He was starting to be assured. He got rid of the thought to visit the psychologist.
‘I’ve hit it big this time.’
The Bug window.
Sung Kyu and YongHo were standing in an office in Gasan Digital Complex.
*Ding Dong*
After pressing the bell, a female employee opened the door and greeted them.
“What is your business here?”
“Oh, we are the programmers for the chatting app.:’
“Come in.”
Sung Kyu got his part time work from an outsourcing website even though he could find work through his connections. As he was only a college student, he didn’t put a high bottom line for his pay, and perhaps because of that, he could find work easily. The work this time was from an outsourcing website as well. After entering, they could see an office around 20 Pyung(≈66m2) with around 5 people working.
“This way.”
Following the lady, they could see a man in his middle 40s sitting on a place surrounded by screen dividers. It was the president who requested the work this time.
“Good day to you, Mr. president.”
“Oh, nice to meet you, the one next to you is……”
“My junior from the same department.”
The president’s words were short. YongHo’s face stiffened. At Sung Kyu’s introduction of him, he bowed his head.
“Good day to you, sir.”
While they were conversing, the lady brought two chairs.
“Oh, nice to meet you, please sit.”
The president went into the main point as soon as they sat down.
“I’ve checked the APK(Application Package: The download file for the android program) that you set me.”
After posing himself, he continued.”
“It errors on my phone.”
“Error? Sir?”
“Yes, it doesn’t even run.”
