I believe that in the experience of every technical personnel, will hear or say such a word technology is service business
I have been thinking about this sentence for a long time, and finally understand a bit of it, take this opportunity to share their own thinking content
What is a business
At the beginning of my career, I understood that business was the demand for products
I believe that the vast majority of people think so, and then want to jump out of the business category to do infrastructure and so on, thinking that doing this jump out of the normal product needs of the demand is not doing business
too young too simple
The real business is all the things that make money in the company
From this point of view, infrastructure should also be a form of business
From the most fundamentally speaking, the source of infrastructure is the service to do the product requirements and technical personnel, in order to be able to faster and more efficient iterative demand, that is to say, he is actually the technical personnel of saving development time, so the resulting is under the same demand faster response, reduce the cost of the company, disguised can let the company earned more money
The business that follows is the business that we talk about on a daily basis
Why do more people want to do infrastructure instead of business
It may have to be told from a different Angle
- When just entered the line, I was drawing pages. I felt those who did infrastructure were so fierce that I yearned for it
- The technology used in infrastructure may be more advanced, and there is historical baggage when doing business
- When changing jobs, highlight some infrastructure on your resume instead of just iterating on business requirements
As time goes on, the idea that the people who build the infrastructure are going to be a little bit more technically competent becomes a way of differentiating technical competence
But back to basics, isn’t infrastructure a business solution? If your infrastructure doesn’t help the business developers and becomes a burden, then the infrastructure is negative equity. Not only does it consume development time, but it doesn’t bring in any revenue, resulting in a loss for the company
Isn’t it then difficult to identify the flaws in the business and provide a complete solution?
How do you spot the problem?
From business to business, only to constantly think about whether some of the current business practices are reasonable, whether there are some things troubling our work, the whole work process is correct
Only in this way can we have a deeper understanding of what we are doing in the continuous precipitation business. Why do we want to do such a thing and what benefits do we have
It may be a little empty to say this simply, but let me give a simple example to prove how to do this layer of thinking, which is also what happened in Ding Dong recently
Buried point
At the beginning, the burying point was purely manual, without any systematic things, and even the data of the warehouse was almost chaotic
We found this problem. At the beginning, it was caused by the need to issue the version at every burial point. Especially, it was troublesome to issue the version of APP, and the existence of the old version led to serious lag in data collection, and even worse, it might lead to the delay of decision making
So in order to solve this problem, we are thinking about whether there is a way to modify the embedded point without issuing a version, so we did a dynamic embedded point demo
Later, it was found that after this problem was solved, the data on the other side of the warehouse also had some problems. Since we wanted to transform the buried point, it was better to change the data warehouse together
Finally, we built a complete system of dynamic burial points, forming a solution
Of course, all these are provided by my boss. I am just a chicken with small dishes. I have learned a lot in Ding Dong, which can make me make a lot of progress
At the end
Technology is really used to serve the business. In addition to normal demand development, we should always think about how to save manpower consumption and bring benefits in disguise
If technology does not have a positive impact on the business, it will reduce the impact of technology at the company level and reduce the opportunity for growth
