Today I found out that 2020 minus 1024 today is 996? Is this a coincidence? Or does it represent something?
“2019 May be the worst year of the past decade, but the best year of the next decade,” Wang said. Who knew the prophecy was about to come true?
In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic swept across the country, plunging many small and medium enterprises into a crisis of business difficulties. In the face of this situation, some units began to suspend salaries, disguised layoffs, pulse received the news that an apartment rental enterprise directly laid off 80% of the staff, so that more employees fell into a tense situation again.
Today is October 24, 2020, and this year’s Programmer’s Day is coming again, so what does this mean for us programmers?
How exactly should we look at our careers in 2020? Are you going to have a hard time?
Everyday is too hard!
In addition to the impact of this year’s epidemic environment, do you still remember a true version of the news of “killing a programmer to worship heaven” in the United States last year?
A programmer opened fire on four colleagues in his office. For the motive of his gun killing, some people speculated: “colleagues do not write comments, do not follow the name of the camel, brackets, the most important day git push — f and other factors.”
Because the code is not standard was killed, programmers have said, our programmer’s work is really too bitter, too dangerous, too difficult!
1. This generation of programmers, hard work
There is news that a leader asked his subordinates to reply within 10 minutes in a wechat group at 10 PM, and an employee was fired because he didn’t reply in time due to early rest.
For programmers, there are still a lot of people in the office at 10 p.m. to catch up on the release. Even in the middle of the night, when the phone rings, programmers have to be up within 10 minutes to check processing, after all, if the system is down, a minute later processing loss of several more zeros.
Choosing a career as a programmer means choosing a 7 * 24 * 365 standby mode, leaving the house without a wallet but carrying a VPN with you, and stopping to work on bugs on your computer on your wedding day.
Can’t work and life be separated? It doesn’t exist in this business.
2. There is a lot of competition among programmers this year
Programming technology is no longer lofty, the entry threshold is no longer high. Ordinary people can get jobs within four months of training in training schools, and their monthly salary is easily over 10,000 yuan. Senior students don’t like this major, take a book to learn their own can also find a good company to start as an intern; 00 after the kindergarten began to learn programming software, understand the Olympic number is no longer fierce, programming is a bonus, primary school students will make software to operate robots everywhere…
Where once anyone was a product manager, now anyone can be a programmer.
There is also a widespread theory that programmers are retired at the age of 35, and that programmers are listed in the “ten high-risk industries”… Being a programmer is a tough job.
3. It’s hard for programmers to start a business
It’s so hard to do a part-time job that you might as well start your own business. Lei jun said that standing in the tuyere, pigs can fly. From a few years ago, mutual finance, short video, sharing economy to the present blockchain, artificial intelligence… These days, the limelight is on the move, small companies are on the move, entrepreneurs’ hair is on the move, money is on the move.
I have seen excellent programmers out of business, less than a year gray hair clearly visible. Rush around all day to pull investment pull personnel, pressure is huge, the company’s survival is difficult.
All startups are fully successful only when they go public or are acquired, and there’s only a 1% chance of that happening. Many Internet start-ups have not yet figured out the profit model, will only be crazy to throw money in.
4. It’s hard for programmers to get rich
As a first-line programmer born in the 1970s, Hui ge owns four houses in The Imperial Capital. His family history is simple: As one of the earliest programmers to catch the Internet wave, he targeted a start-up company and worked hard for several years. After the company was listed, he used the option to buy a house. After that, he moved to a small company and spent several years bringing his team from a few people to a hundred and then left. This is the origin of Huige’s fourth house.
Hui ge said that he had no big dreams and did not like to be a manager. Instead, he only liked programming with young people in front-line positions. He would stay in a company for six or seven years to see the gradual development and expansion of the company and then get what he deserved.
Hui ge said that this generation of programmers were too impetuous and anxious. He had farewell parties and welcome dinners almost every week, and everyone was jumping about like lice. Programmers who jump four times in five years and three times in three years are everywhere.
But young programmers have no way, wages do not rise housing prices swish, and the company’s feelings of growth than the cruel reality: the leadership of the cake is not cash, has not yet arrived at the age of 30 liangbin began to white, back also boil disease, wages or so. The same starting line of the students job-hopping already realized the salary over, this person why in a tree hanging dead?
Some programmers mockingly say that programmers are workers at the bottom of the construction of an information society, just like migrant workers in the real society. The building went up, but I could only pass by.
This class of programmers, look at it this way!
1. Career Choice: Stay if you like it, leave if you don’t
Xiao Guang, a programmer born in the 1990s, disagrees with the idea that older workers will settle down in one company and grow old after two years. Small Canton not only change job-hopping frequently, change the city is also frequent, from Beijing to Hangzhou drift, and then to Chengdu drift.
Small wide itself university major is to learn programming, naturally engaged in programmers. The salary of this job is higher than that of students who study other majors at the same time. Although they often work overtime, they have a simple and harmonious relationship with colleagues.
There are many black programmers on the Internet, and he thinks that programmers are the same as other professions, just an ordinary occupation. He does not have a burden, work happy to stay, not happy to leave, the company so many can stay in the city is not many, not toss and toss again how to know which city is more suitable for their own, their preferred company?
2. Same sense of accomplishment in different occupations
I once participated in a project to develop a system for a large-scale program. Although I played a minor role, I could happily tell people when watching the program that I had participated in that system! It feels like a builder walking past a building he built himself: you feel proud to see people using the software you developed.
Even if I leave the company later and no longer take charge of it, I will occasionally open it and see how it is changed later. I will laugh and miss the time when I struggled with my colleagues: Why is this product not as good as it was when I was in the company?
Afraid of what bugs endless? There is joy in destroying one. Even if the development of a small system, as long as users use well, it is good, occasional bonus, is happiness.
3. They are always screws in a business, but they can grow into independent individuals
In the book “Ali Entrepreneurial Corps”, it is said that in the enterprise, at most, we can change from steel screws to gold-plated screws or pure gold screws, but we can never become independent machines. Once the machine does not want us, we may not be able to screw in other places.
Lin, a former colleague, failed in his first venture and became an ordinary programmer. If he did not say so, no one would know that he had started a business for two years. After working in the company for two years, he went off to start his own business with his savings. What if he fails again? At the age of 30, he was indifferent to the way, to find a company to earn money, and then try to start a business.
On the road to entrepreneurship, some people fall and never get up, and some people stumble, but always move forward. So many people are obsessed with starting a business. It may be because we can only work like a screw in an enterprise, but starting a business can grow into an independent individual.
No matter which road you are on, all we do every day is to try to survive when the wind blows, as described in the French poem “Seashore Graveyard”.
What do you think about that? Welcome to comment!
