在Web开发行业混迹多年的我已经决定转行了,是转行的时候了。对我来说,做《魔兽世界》金农是件既能够赚钱又很充实的工作。不信,请看看下面的事实吧:
做Web开发员那么久,连一个级别都没有。玩《魔兽世界》一个月,已经有30级了。做网页的时候,请问你能够杀多少鱼人魔拉克(Murloc)呢?在Web开发中,你不得不面对爱钻牛角尖的客户(你可以把这个象素往左移动5个点吗?现在,再往右移动2个点)。在《魔兽世界》里,做好自己的事情就行了。
也许ColdFusion这个是个十分方便和快捷工具,却比不过战士的一些技能和武器(怒吼,顺势斩和槌)。最后,在不沉迷的情况下,我可以随时终止工作。
事实就是如此。我不再愚蠢地“问杰迪(Jedi)”。现在,“我是一名战士”。我不再需要向客户展示Spry和ColdFusion Ajax这些新技术。现在,我要展示的是自己的升级是如何地快。
如果你需要我的帮助的话,就来Alexstrasza找我吧。我叫Romana,一个性感的暗夜精灵战士。

原文如下,
Forget web development, Im becoming a gold farmer
After many years in the web development business, Ive decided its time to move on. Why? Because I think life as a World of Warcraft gold farmer will be much more lucrative and fufilling. I mean just look at the facts:
In all my life as a web developer, Ive not gained one level. After a month of WoW, Im level 30。
How many murlocs do you get to kill when working on web pages?
In web development, I have to deal with difficult clients (Can you move this 5 pixels left? Now 2 pixels right). In WoW I just kill my problems.
ColdFusion may be rapid, but nothing is as quick as a few warrior skills (shouting and cleaving) and a good mace.
And lastly - its not like World of Warcraft is addictive. I can stop playing any time I want to. Really.
So thats it. No more silly Ask a Jedi. Now its Ask a Warrior. No more presentations on Spry or ColdFusion Ajax support. Now Ill present on how quickly I rose through my first 20 levels. If you want personal support, just meet me on Alexstrasza. Im Romana, the hot warrior night elf!
