Ukuthola ikhono lami ngokusebenzisa umphakathi

Liviki eledlule benginethuba lokuhambela umcimbi i-Umbraco Spark e-We the Curious e-Bristol. Lona bekungumcimbi wami wokuqala we-Spark, futhi umcimbi wesibili kuphela we-Umbraco engike ngawuhambela. Okulandelayo akusona isifinqo somcimbi. Kungokomuntu siqu kakhulu.

Ngaphambi kokubuyekeza okwenzeke ngalolo suku, bengifuna ukukhuluma ngebubble (isigaxa). Sonke sinazo, kungaba ngabangane bethu, imibutho yethu yomsebenzi, imindeni yethu, noma umphakathi wakithi lapho sihlala khona. Ngihlala futhi ngisebenze edolobheni elincane e-Lincolnshire, okusho ukuthi ibubble yami incane. Bengilokhu ngithanda amakhompyutha. Inkumbulo yami yokuqala ukudlala i-Space Cadet Pinball ezinsukwini ezimbalwa emva kukaKhisimusi ngonyaka ka-1996. Bekukhona okuthile ngakho okungigxilile. Umcabango wokuthi umshini ungenza lokho, ungenza into exhumanayo futhi ephilayo esikrinini, wangena ekhanda lami futhi awuzange uphume. Lokho kukhulu-kulu (curiosity) yikho okwangiholela ekuthuthukisweni kwesoftware. Kwabonakala kungekona ukukhetha umsebenzi, kodwa kwaba sengathi yinto ebimane ifanele ukwenzeka.

Into okungekho muntu okutshela yona ngomsebenzi wukuthi into leyo eyakudonsela kuwona ingaqala kancane kancane ukushabalala. Kimina akuzange kwenzeke ngobusuku obubodwa. Kwakuhamba kancane. Lokho kukhulu-kulu okwakungidonsela enkingeni kwaqala ukuzwakala njengomsebenzi othile ophoqelekile. Bengisenza umsebenzi omuhle, ngisavela, kodwa amandla angemuva kwalokho ayashintshile. Lokhu bekungewona umuzwa wokukhathala ngokweqile (burnout). Bekuzwakala njengokugqwala kunokukhathala. Intshisekelo yami ekuthuthukisweni kwesoftware yayiphela kancane kancane.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthuthela e-Lincolnshire ukuze ngihlale futhi ngisebenze ukude kungenze ibubble encane. Ayikho inkulumo yasehhovisi kimina, akukho hlangana nomsebenzi engisebenza naye okhuluma ngento ethembisayo emusha. Akukho ukuphazamiseka kwesimiso.

Ngakhoke, lapho isimemo se-Spark sifika, ngavuma, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yomsebenzi, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yento ethulile eyayisafuna ukwazi.

Bengazi ukuthi bengiphuma kububble yami ngisho nangaphambi kokuthi umcimbi uqale. Ngemuva kokuqhuba imoto amahora amathathu ngibheke e-Bristol, bengimi esitobhini sebhasi ngo-11 ebusuku, ngilinde i-Park and Ride ukuthi ingiyise ehhotela lami. Bengizibuza ngokweqiniso ikhono lami lokuba umuntu omdala osebenzayo. Kwase kudlule isikhathi eside kakhulu kusukela ngisebenzise izinto zokuhamba zomphakathi kangangokuthi konke kwakuzwakala kukhathaza kancane. Kodwa lowo mzuzu wahlala nami, ukungakhululeki kuvame ukuba uphawu lokuthi ushintsho luyenzeka, okungenani kimina kunjalo.

Ngenkathi ngingena kwa-We the Curious ngakusasa ekuseni, ngangazi kahle ukuthi yini okufanele ngiyilindele. E-CodeGarden 2025, nganginosebenza naye njengosekelo lokuziphatha. Njengoba ngivuka ekuseni, ngafika ngaphambi kokuba igumbi liqale ukugcwala. Ngakhumbula umphathi wami ephinda kimi ekuqaleni kwesonto lapho ngibuza ukuthi yini okwakulindelwe yibhizinisi kimi emcimbini, futhi kwakuwukuthi “Vele uye lapho uyozijabulisa nje”.

Umcimbi uchazwa kanje: “I-Umbraco Spark igxile ezindabeni zobuchwepheshe, ezintsha kanye nezithinta onjiniyela, futhi izibophezele ekuhlanganiseni onjiniyela ukuze bachithe usuku lokufunda nokuthola ugqozi”.

Kodwa kwazizwa kungaphezu kwalokho.

Ngenkathi ngiphethe isikhwama sezipho, ngabuka indawo igcwala abantu nezingxoxo. Ngenkathi ngicashile ngizwa inkulumo yabo, ngathola igumbi eligcwele abantu ababakhathalela izinto engangivame ukuzikhathalela ngaphandle kokungabaza. Onjiniyela, abakhi bemiklamo, kanye nabantu abasezigabeni ezahlukene zemisebenzi yabo, bonke bebeyilapho ngoba befisa ngempela ukuba lapho.

Isakhiwo sosuku besiphrintwe kahle kuma-lanyards ethu njengesikhumbuzo esilusizo. Bekukhona inkulumo yemizuzu engu-45 phakathi kwekhefu ngalinye nezinye izinkulumo zemizuzu engu-10 ukuze siqhubeke kwekhefu elilandelayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi inkulumo ibingemizuzu engu-45 noma engu-10, ngithole ukuthi zonke bezifundisa futhi zithakazelisa.

Yiyiphi indlela engcono yokuheha izinhliziyo zonjiniyela kunokuqala usuku ngekhodi. Lokho kwabeka isimo sami ngempela. Ngikujabulele kakhulu futhi ngangibambe iqhaza enkulumweni ka-Kenn Jacobsen mayelana ne-Umbraco Search nezindlela ezahlukene ezingasetshenziswa ngayo. I-Umbraco Search akuyona into enganginalwazi oluningi ngayo, ngakho-ke bekuyisivivinyo esihle sokufunda ukubona amandla ayo.

Inkulumo elandelayo ibivela ku-Rachel Breeze MBCS mayelana nokuthi ngabe kuhlale, uthuthukise, noma ubhale kabusha iwebhusayithi. Ngokwethulwa kwamuva kwe-Umbraco 17 ngonyaka odlule, izinguquko ze-Backoffice ezethulwe ku-Umbraco 14 namakhasayithi amaningi kumasayithi asebenzisa i-13 noma amadala, bekungeke kufike ngesikhathi esingcono. Muva nje bengisebenza esiphakamisweni emsebenzini esibandakanya lesi sinqumo, futhi ngifisa sengathi ngabe ngiyibonile le nkulumo. Kwesinye isikhathi udinga ukuthatha isinyathelo emuva uhlole isithombe esiphelele nokuthi ukukhetha ukungathuthukisi kuyisinqumo esifanele njengokukhetha ukubhala kabusha noma ukwakha kabusha. Isifundo esibalulekile wukuziphendulela nokwamukela ubungozi.

Kungashiwo ukuthi enye yezinkulumo ezahlala nami usuku lonke nogqozi ngemuva kwalokhu okuthunyelwe kwebhulogi elibonayo kwakungu-Joe Glombek. Le ibingenye yezinkulumo ezincane zemizuzu eyi-10 kodwa umthelela wayo ubulukhulu. Inkulumo yakhe mayelana nomphakathi kanye nezinzuzo zokuhambela noma ukuzibandakanya nawo ibambelele ekutheni ngazizwa kanjani ngaphambi nangemva komcimbi. Labo abahambela izingqungquthela, imihlangano, ama-hackathons - kungaba kwi-inthanethi noma mathupha - kuphazamisa ngempela ukucindezelwa kwansuku zonke. Kungakunika umuzwa wenjongo, kungakufundisa. Kunikeza ngempela isikhala sokuthi ungakhuli nje kuphela amakhono akho obungcweti kodwa nawakho siqu futhi.

Uma unemizuzu engu-20 ongayisebenzisa, zizwe ukhululekile ukubuka inguqulo enwetshiwe yenkulumo yakhe: https://joe.gl/ombek/talks/developers-assemble/

Izinkulumo ezisemthethweni ziphele ngo-Niels Lyngsø ovela e-Umbraco ekhombisa ezinye zezici ezizayo ku-Backoffice. Kukhona isexwayiso lapha ukuthi izinto zisathuthukiswa futhi okunye okwethulwe bekungama-wireframes futhi kungashintsha. Ngikuthande kakhulu umcabango wokuqukethwe okwabelwanayo kusetshenziswa ama-Elements nokuthi kusho ukuthini lokho hhayi kubahleli bokuqukethwe kuphela kodwa konjiniyela futhi. Ngiyawubuka lo mkhakha futhi ngijabulile ukubona ukuthi yini elandelayo.

Phinde ngakuthanda ukuthi kukhona ukukhetha ngamabomu yiqembu ukudala ulimi olubonakalayo ukugcina izinto zicacile ukuthi yini okuqukethwe okwabelwanayo / okuxhunyiwe nokuthi yini okungewona kusetshenziswa imibala nezithonjana ezihlukahlukene. U-Niels nami sibe nengxoxo emnandi ngemuva kwalokho mayelana namandla esici kanye nengxoxo jikelele mayelana nokuxazulula izinkinga ekuthuthukisweni nokuthi abantu bacabanga ukuthi bafunani uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho okuxazulula inkinga. Lokho kuhlale nami ngempela.

Kwakulapha lapho ngangicabanga ukuthi usuku seluphelile (khumbula ukuthi lokhu kwakuwumcimbi wami wokuqala i-Spark), kwakuzoba nomcimbi omfushane wokuklomelisa bese siqhubeka nezindlela zethu. Bengingazi ukuthi lokhu kwakuzoba yingxenye evelele nakakhulu kulokho engikuzuzile. Kuze kube yilesi sikhathi, ngangingenalo uzwelo lokuzibandakanya kumcimbi wokwakha izinhlelo (hackathon / package jam). Bengihlale ngicabanga ukuthi “Akunakwenzeka ukuba ngikwazi ukwakha okuthile ngosuku olulodwa”.

Ukubona zonke izinhlelo ezahlukahlukene ezingakhiwa yiqembu lonke labathuthukisi bosizo (developers) ngosuku olulodwa ngokwabelana ngemibono nolwazi esimweni esinobungane, kwangimangalisa kakhulu. Okungihlabe umxhwele kakhulu kukho konke lokho wukuthi abantu babelana kanjani ngokukhululeka. Hhayi ngolwazi kuphela, kodwa nangentshiseko. Akekho owayenza sengathi unentshiseko. Babenayo nje impela.

benginesikhathi esincane ngaphambi kokuba isikhathi sami sokupaka siphele. Ngizizwa ngivuselelwe usuku nengxenye yami engafuni ukuthi luphele, ngaphuma endaweni yami yokunethezeka futhi ngahamba phakathi kwendawo yomphakathi ngaya e-Ritorno Lounge. Kulapho lapho ngahlangana khona nabanye abantu emkhakheni. Ikakhulukazi u-Ravi Motha, engike ngaba nesethulo esifushane naye ku-CodeGarden 2025. Bekuhle ukukhuluma naye mayelana ne-London Meetup nokuthi ngingazibandakanya kanjani.

Phinde ngaba nengxoxo ethokozisayo no-Kas. I. ovela e-Cogworks mayelana ne-AI, ukuphepha komsebenzi, amandla nokuthi ikusasa libukeka kanjani ngokomuntu siqu nangobungcweti. Ngeshwa, benginesikhathi esilinganiselwe futhi bengingafuni ngempela ukuthi kuphele kodwa ngibe nebhasi okufanele ngiliwubambe, kulokhu ngizizwa nginethemba elikhulu.

Inkulumo ngayinye yayakhela phezu kwaleyo eyayiyandulela. Ingxoxo ngayinye yayingeza okuthile. Kwakungesona isikhathi esisodwa esikhulu, kodwa kwakuwukuqongelela kancane kancane, njengosuku olukhanya kancane kancane ngaphandle kokuba ukwazi ukubona ngqo ukuthi kwakuyisiphi isikhathi lapho ubumnyama buphela khona.

Noma kunjalo, kwakunesikhathi esisodwa esihlale kumina. Ukuba sekamelweni eligcwele abantu abebazana kakade, ababenemibuthano yabo, amahlaya abo angaphakathi, kanye nemininingwane yabo edlule, kwakwesabisa kakhulu kunalokho engangikulindele. Ngangizungeza emaphethelweni amaqembu ambalwa, ngenza leyo nto lapho ubuka ifoni yakho ngenhloso ukuze ubukeke umatasa esikhundleni sokubukeka ulahlekile. Ngabe sengibona othile ehlezi ebhentshini enesikhala esanele eduze kwakhe nokumamatheka okwakusho ngokucacile ukuthi leso sikhala sisekhona ngempela. Kwakuyilokho kuphela okwakudingeka. Ngahlala phansi, ngathi sawubona, futhi saba nengxenye yezingxoxo ezinhle kakhulu zosuku mayelana nempilo, umsebenzi kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho.

Kuzwakala kulula ngendlela engamahloni. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi uphawu oluncane kakhulu lokuvuleleka yinto kuphela emi phakathi komuntu ohlala ehlalwe emakhasini akhe kanye nokuxhumana nabanye.

Ukukhuluma nabantu abaluthandayo lolu mphakathi kungikhumbuze ukuthi kungani ngaqala ukungena kwezokuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe okokuqala. Lowo mfana wango-1996 owayehlezi phambi kwesikrini ecabanga ukuthi "lokhu kusebenza kanjani" wayengayanga ndawo. Wayevele ethule kakhulu isikhathi eside.

Uhambo lwebhasi lokubuyela emuva lwaluhlukile kunalolo lwangobusuku obudlule. Nganginamaphuzu efonini yami, ukuxhumana okusha okumbalwa, futhi okokuqala ngqa esikhathini eside kunalokho engingathanda ukukuvuma, ngangicabanga ngekhodi ngoba ngifuna, hhayi ngoba kudingeka.

Uma nawe uzizwa ngendlela efanayo...

Angikwazi ukuphinda ngigcizelele ukuthi ukuya emicimbini nokuba phakathi komphakathi kubaluleke kangakanani.

Uma kuneseluleko esisodwa samabhizinisi noma abaphathi, wukuthi ningabeki imibandela noma ingcindezi konjiniyela abaya kule micimbi. Mabawujabulele usuku! Noma ngamazwi omphathi wami, “Vele uye lapho uyojabula”.

Uma noma yikuphi kwalokhu kuzwakala kujwayelekile, ngingasho lokhu nje: phuma ebhokisini lakho, ngisho kancane. Akudingeki kube yingqungquthela. Kungaba yihlangano, inkundla yezingxoxo, ingxoxo, noma ukubamba iqhaza esiteshini se-Discord. Ukuzihlukanisa okudalwa umhlaba wanamuhla kuyiqiniso futhi kuqongelela kancane.

Umphakathi awusona isixazululo sokukhathala ngokweqile, kodwa uyisikhumbuzo sokuthi intshiseko yakho yayingakaze ilahleke ngempela.

Ngezinye izikhathi idinga nje indawo yokufika.

Ngiyajabula ukuthi ngagibela lelo bhasi.
