Coder Lee Yongho Chapter 28

CODER LEE YONGHO – CHAPTER 28: POINTS MANAGEMENT (3)

 

There were about 3 pages of A4 worth of calculation conditions of the customers’ points. The conditions needed to be turned into mathematical formulae on the source for it to be run on the computer.

After he finished calculating, the business manager didn’t have a good expression. The system manager for the AS-IS system from the KO DS (KO Telecom’s subsidiary company); and An ByungHoon and YongHo who were developing the TO-BE (Next-gen system) had nervous expressions.

The business manager sighed after he looked at the calculation result. Perhaps No JunWoo who was next to him was curious but he asked about the result.

“This is bad.”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

At the business manager’s words, YongHo slightly smiled and nodded. An ByungHoon turned his head around and looked at YongHo.

At the business manager’s words, the people from KO DS had dark expressions. Perhaps they didn’t believe it but they got the customer’s profiles and did the calculation themselves.

After the people from KO DS finished calculating, they sighed heavily without being able to speak. They were dreading as to how to fix the system. The business manager who sighed, spoke up.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“It’s these people here.”

“Thank you. I’m Kwak DongHwan, manager of customer points.”

“Then I’ll leave first. A bomb just dropped on me so… It’s overtime work.”
The business manager left the office with loose shoulders. The people from KO DS followed him in a line as if they were criminals.

“Mr. YongHo, I heard you took care of something big!”

“An intern that’s not like an intern.”

“He’s better than manager An. Shouldn’t you give him a manager’s salary?”

“Then have a wonderful Friday night.”

“Let us leave early today too. Also, you don’t need to come tomorrow. You should stay at home and do the laundry, spend time with your family, and rest, since it’s been a while.

“Sunbae.”

“SungGyu sunbae told me we should meet up sometime. Did you get anything?”

It’s already been many months since they agreed to meet up. At this rate, they wouldn’t see each other until the intern period ends.

“Let’s do that.”

It was the season when sharp winds brushed past them.

“SuMin!”

HyeJin called SuMin, and YongHo called Sunggyu. They haven’t seen each other in a while.

It was the common reaction of SungGyu and SuMin. Perhaps due to the two’s expressions, the SungGyu and SuMin looked at YongHo and HyeJin with pity.

“Us, well… It was doable?”

“Did Kim WonHo bully you or anything?”

It had been a while since YongHo saw SuMin. Unlike HyeJin, SuMin was still pretty.

But it wasn’t like that now. SuMin overflowed with vitality while HyeJin wilted. HyeJin spoke enviously as she looked at SuMin.

“You’re alright too, HyeJin.”

“It’s not alright…… Ugh, don’t even mention it.”
Like HyeJin said, SuMin’s skin glowed with luster while HyeJin’s skin looked weary. YongHo was the same. He looked older by a few years. And so, they finished greeting and asking how they did at work.

SungGyu who was drinking alcohol, started speaking.

“It’s hard.”

“……”

The drinking instantly turned into a future counselling. Everyone listened to SungGyu’s words.

“R, really?”

“In my opinion, it’s better if you set your aim early.”

“So, think about it carefully, everyone.”
The drinking continued late into the night.

HyeJin’s house was in Bundang, and SungGyu’s was in Sillim. YongHo, who lived in Gangnam, the same as SuMin, had to take her home. Her swaying told him that he couldn’t let her go alone.

“There……”

YongHo had to first find out where she lived. So he sat her down and took out her ID card.

It wasn’t that far. He supported SuMin to walk when SuMin had signs of vomiting.

“How much did you drink?”

He remembered about SuMin’s cold shoulder and had the urge to knuckle her on the head.

“Yeah.”

“Good.”

SuMin ran like mad after shaking YongHo’s arm off. What he was relieved about, though, was that she was running towards her house. It wasn’t that far, so it was enough to walk. YongHo only had to look whether she arrived safely from behind.

Even after he arrived at home, SungGyu’s words didn’t leave his mind.

Until now, he just found fun in programming. And he blindly aimed at becoming the best programmer.

The majority of what YongHo felt was about the bug window. The ability to see bugs that he got after getting struck by lightning. It didn’t only catch errors that were shown, but it also showed logic errors or the program’s efficiency problems.

It wasn’t something he had to decide now. YongHo decided to ask manager An after the project ended and ended his thought there.

It was a place where YongHo’s ability can be infinitely stretched out. Everyday, new and novel questions came up. It could even be considered studying, looking at those questions.

And before he knew it, solving bugs that came up in stack overfly became his hobby. Anyone would have fun with something if they were good at it. He also found it exciting that his ranking was going up. YongHo’s ID which was at the bottom, was steadily rising.

YongHo’s ability had a crucial problem. If the program doesn’t run in front of him, he cannot find the bugs, much less solve them. He had to have an example source and YongHo had to personally fix the errors while testing them. But only a few of the questions that came up in stack overfly had example sources.

YongHo used internet translators and wrote on his profile.

–Please leave your test code. We solve all the bugs..

YongHo slept early to enjoy his rest after fixing a few bugs that came up in stack overfly.
