It is said that the Internet world is composed of program ape, product Wang, design lion, operation meow of the total shovel class food chain, and the protagonist Guo Xiaomiao is silently working in the chain of animals on the ground in the program ape.

Guo students used to be a don’t know what the seeds was rare, line kind of love the chrysanthemum, in an accidental opportunity, he exposed to the single chip microcomputer, looking at that a 2 yuan tao treasure water lights such as flashing up in textbooks, he began the evolutionary journey of life, the prevalence of lee when the world is different because of you.

The university was in a trance and flourishing. At the beginning of his senior year, Xiao Guo, who majored in communication engineering, applied for an internship in a medical equipment start-up company. At that time, with scholarship and several certificates, he looked at his friend playing computer in the dormitory and smiled, thinking that this was heaven and earth.




At that time, Guo ran to the distant city with awe, thinking of Lao-tzu said, after learning C and Linux for so long, he could finally show his ambition. Wearing a white gown as in the TV, he patted the table and said, “As a scientific researcher, I am a person who insists, and I cannot take off you.”




Life is like this, xiao Guo thought he would be like Wong Kar-wai, but in front of him looks like how Wang Baoqiang lost road? It was a ten-story old building in the 1980s. The walls were covered with rust. The branding of the years on the tables and chairs reminded him all the time. Thinking of his high-speed train ticket, Guo felt that a newborn calf is not afraid of big cats, let alone apes.

In fact, Xiao Guo’s cost is 1000 yuan, but also can learn things, than the dormitory building Shouting every day Peking University some bird and some training institutions, often tens of thousands of training fees. There’s money to be had. $1,000 for a bike ride, that’s no consolation.

All said that people in the lost journey, Guo just started the daily life is to see the code and… Manual welding circuit board, yes, at that time, Xiao Guo is the life of the hand tin fell the most convenient time, vision picked up 5.1, the hand is not shaking, after all, patch capacitor and processor can be hand welding. Guo looked at the blisters on his left hand with a little pride.

In terms of code, Guo found that he could not really shoot the table, pure C writing miniGUI, directly in the thread operation view, cross-compile log, draw a box on the interface to locate and then draw the characters, pointer out of bounds, program deadlock, memory overflow, IO conflict…

Yeah, that’s what you see in the o.R., where a straight line means the guy’s dying, and the beeps, that’s where the machine comes from. In fact, Guo has been afraid of the program running away after the screen is moving, but people are straight line how to do? But Guo worry is redundant, he is only responsible for a small piece of interface, because there is a good brother, there is a good boss.




Let’s go. Sweep tonight, play PHP

Guo’s boss is general Electric medical and ADI out of the work technology did sales, originally to TI, and finally broke his wrist with the boss to start a business, and Guo is the boss’s number one general, Guo’s brother recommended to join the group, at that time Guo also began to go to the Internet pit.

That day, Guo just returned to the company from the operating room of the hospital to repair the machine with ease. He heard that the boss and the boss wanted to make the decision of Internet products. This decision had been held back for a long time by the boss. C++ and Qt were put into the cold house by guo, and have never appeared again.

At that time, Guo lived in the same staff dormitory with his senior and colleagues from the Marketing Department. After leaving the university, Guo naturally blended into the peaceful atmosphere and began to know what seeds are, how to analyze the map species and discuss the biological characteristics of the human body, but this was not important.

At that time, the boss attacked ios, guo guerrilla Android, several months of cobbled together, from crazy Android lectures, from getting started to give up series, and then to Android bus and CSDN blog, 1.0 finally online after several twists and turns. With no product manager, no operations director, and no QA team, Guo started a trial run with a hit product, and after three or four minor releases, one afternoon, the boss asked Guo to think about the future.

After a month, the eldest brother saw off Xiao Guo, the last technician in the company besides him.

Small guo also falls into Internet formally from this. At that time, financing was hot, as if PPT made beautiful candy to eat, at this time, Guo chose to go to an e-commerce enterprise, because the new boss said to him, we are going to change the world. Guo thought, wow, can you beat the table again? Anyway, wages also went up, although there is no double day off, but I heard that the high frequency of e-commerce and close to users, dry!




Guo takes a one-hour bus to work every day, because it’s called an Internet startup, and flexible hours and overtime are essential. According to the boss, Ali’s building is lit up in the wee hours, and people who are better than you work harder than you. Guo feel this is very reasonable unexpectedly have no words to say right, play play, no wonder don’t call shrink sex work time, language didn’t learn is so, so began the life of electric business dog.

This is the first time that Guo has officially used GIT and GITHUB. He has only known about it before, which makes guo feel that the way of compressed baidu Cloud should be eaten by the dog. It was also here that Guo began to get in touch with the process of team development and the way of cooperating with design lion, Product Wang and backstage monkey. At that time xiao Guo always thought the world is so big, coach, I want to learn this.




At that time, Guo began to understand that the Internet company is the habit of meeting before lunch and meeting before work, which is when most people have time. Changed the product manager code can be reconstructed, Guo think is rewrite. And continuously revision of the next guo students began a journey of silent evolution, also at this time, he began to contact the spirit of open source.

Version one by one iteration, open source projects one by one are connected to it, after the normal shopping process, personal community, post comments, OOM pictures, video playback, customer service functions, interface optimization, mixed programming, confounding decompression, participation in product design… At that time, there are takeout, afternoon tea, enthusiastic colleagues, there are gentlemen resources refreshing, but also the dream of changing the world, the dream of beating the table must have, Guo felt that this is the program ape.




Guo finally left, with eight consecutive months of total attendance award and table flipping skills, he believed that the broken pot can be broken, uphold the spirit of a gentleman, Guo thought there must be another piece of sky for him.

Leaving was intuitive, because Guo always felt something was wrong, and he refused the boss’s entreaty. A year later, at a party of former colleagues, Guo found that all his former colleagues had left successively, including technical director, operation director and product manager.

Now the original company, is it still dreaming? Comrade Guo still thinks of this question from time to time.

Today, Guo is also the head of a team, and occasionally moonlights as the company’s network administrator, as well as the legendary computer programmer.

In addition to googling, he also started sharing his stories and skills. Learning about people he liked was one of his many interests, and he thought it would help newcomers to the Internet, because that’s how he got there.

The Internet, connect do not know you and I, help each other, at least can less fall somersault less hit the wall, small guo now head is very big. And the program ape circle of the Internet and a forum under the peaceful atmosphere, full is the building Lord good life peace.
