Critical moment, the first time to arrive!

All living things are born fresh and become greasy as the years go by. Those who indulge themselves become more and more greasy and more and more like monsters.

Today, October 31, is an ordinary day for us, for Europe and the United States and other countries, is a grand festival – Halloween eve, in the circle of friends can already see a variety of horror dress. I’m not here to celebrate the holiday, or to spread the word about it, because it’s not really about us (except for those who use it for marketing).

Halloween, even if we but this holiday, also have heard or seen some movies, stories, news, so in the impression of the most prominent is groups of bear children dressed as monsters, to toss the same dressed as monsters of adults.

When it comes to monsters, we all know that from “one hundred years of scorpion” to “one thousand years of fox” to “ten thousand years of snake spirit”, there is not enough years to become monsters. All living things are born fresh and become greasy as the years go by. Those who indulge themselves become more and more greasy and more and more like monsters.

Feng Tang’s article “How to avoid becoming a greasy middle-aged obscene male”, “greasy obscene” will become a controversial topic these days, then associate with his previous work “how to become a monster”, so follow the trend of writing this article, give programmers a few soul chicken soup, avoid programmers to become a greasy monster.

This article was written by a veteran programmer in Silicon Valley, and I was skeptical that it was chicken soup, but the author said, “I know it’s crap, but it’s written from experience for anyone who wants to read it.”

1. Don’t be fat and don’t drink too much

Computer desk, a sitting day, little drinking water, little walking. How much did you have for breakfast? What’s for lunch? Where do you eat tonight? When working overtime, has the company prepared midnight snack? Programmers face these questions every day on the tip of their tongues.

Metabolic rate slowly decreased, calorie intake slowly increased, weight must rise. Not to mention, such and such large company considerate staff, special stage to provide seafood barbecue big fish and meat, plus the team gathering group construction, it is only a matter of time, fat after the problem is more difficult to think about.

Wine, can have, don’t drink every wine must be drunk, drunk ugly, also not good for the brain, we are all brain workers, become stupid is not good. Sometimes a month of two or three friends, small sorrel cup, relieve fatigue and depression, regulate the mood, is of great benefit.

2. Don’t make fun of your project or other people’s code

When I took over some other people’s projects, I always found many unreasonable parts in code architecture design at the beginning. However, with the understanding and in-depth understanding of the project, I found that these “unreasonable” parts were not written by programmers on purpose, but developed into such parts with the development of the product. When this “irrationality” reaches a point, it is time to refactor the product.

While good programmers can make their programs more scalable and adaptable to changing product requirements, it’s only a matter of time before this refactoring happens, especially for zero-based projects.

So don’t make fun of the project at hand, because you may not know its past life; Don’t make fun of other people’s code, because you can’t put yourself in the context of the code, you can do refactoring, which is the path to success. Consider yourself lucky to be able to refactor code; you may be on the road to success.

Secondly, when communicating with others, we have to admit that there are too many difficulties in persuading a person. The more intelligent a person is, the more “extreme” his or her views are, because intelligent people tend to be very confident of their knowledge reserve and always feel that they are right. So, we try to acknowledge each other’s point of view, lower our profile, and discuss and clarify our own point of view.

According to years of experience, people who like to make fun of themselves tend to be lonely and lacking in confidence, and show off their negative emotions to promote themselves. The words “At least I’m not like that” came out all the time. They are also socially boring, wanting to talk about themselves but unable to interest others, and wanting to talk about interesting topics but suffering from empty stomachs.

How to enrich their knowledge, so that they maintain a good image in the social, do not have to do a “ridicule others, great themselves”.

3. Have a neat appearance and a good aesthetic appreciation

Although hairline rears hind, also not be improved not, with its adamancy keep those brim, be inferior to return to original, appear the person so neater, more spirit. Dress, from a variety of plaid shirt to a variety of hoodies, shirts with suit pants must be tied into the belt, Polo casual pants collar sometimes to stand up, highlight their unruly heart.

Not to make fun of such clothes, but what we wear every day represents what kind of state we are in. Everyone has their own dressing habits, but above these habits, the pursuit of a bit more design and collocation, not outstanding, at least pleasing to the eye.

Good aesthetic appreciation lies in cultivation. It is not a matter of “the chicken nest flies out of the golden Phoenix”. If we have aesthetic requirements for ourselves, we need to take the initiative to feel and learn. The beauty of some things cannot be found by others, just as the ugliness of some things cannot be understood by others.

Accept with an open mind and feel with your heart. If you see many beautiful things, you will know what is ugly.

4. Be humble and proud

Although this is different from “be humble, not proud” in the six points of improvement, it is not meant to be a naysayer. Modesty is a word we all know. We all know we have our limitations. “Is there a mountain higher than this, or is there a mountain higher than the sky?”

What about pride? Is pride really a stumbling block to success? Shouldn’t you be proud that a new product goes live, a project gets completed on time, and a startup goes public? We need to keep a humble heart, to pursue a proud goal, that’s all.

5. Accept new things, learn new techniques and learn new knowledge

In the case of two or three technical proficiency, expand their own technical framework, but I think there are two more important: first of all, security technology is particularly important, no matter you are front-end or back-end or other, master security technology has benefits without harm, here does not expand the explanation;

There are also big breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, deep learning, Internet of Things, block chain and quantum computing. We cannot always do what we are doing now, and the future will be guided by things in these new fields.

If you don’t change today, you may be out tomorrow.

So much for a few chicken soup caveats, before you turn into a greasy monster, take a look at yourself.
