Be engaged in Internet industry also for many years, tell the truth, major programmer is more sincere. It has to do with the industry, because in the programmer’s world, everything is logical, right is right, wrong is wrong. There’s only 0 and 1, and there’s nothing in between. This is one of the main reasons that most programmers are afraid to socialize, because they think machines are more reliable than people. Machines, for the most part, are infallible. For the same program, as long as the input is consistent, the output remains the same. Even if it goes wrong, it’s a human problem.
But with people it’s different. If you are in a good mood today, it is easier to communicate. If you’re in a bad mood today, it’s likely to spill over. There are situations where a knife is hidden behind a smile, a smile is not a smile, pit you have no discussion.
Many small workshop owners have been in business for so many years that they are very familiar with dealing with people. Know what kind of honest people, what kind of people easy to cheat. As a programmer, you usually do what your boss tells you to do, and you end up being an accomplice, unaware that you’ve done something illegal.
Recall the P2P explosion before, there are also a lot of Internet developers involved. It usually starts with the boss at the top and ends with the person who writes the code. So programmer is also a high-risk occupation.
Programmers are not involved in running the company, so they don’t know what’s going on in the company. The boss earns the money, but the programmers take the blame. This should be most people’s first instinct, but the law is never based on intuition. Later that outsourcing programmer came out, summed up some mistakes, hope to be used for reference.
Myth 1: I’m just a part-time worker
Most worker can think, this is what the boss calls me to do, want to catch should be able to catch the boss, have what concern with me.
The main premise of criminal law is knowing that a crime is committed does not define you as an employee or a boss. What is knowing? To know or ought to know. That’s pretty broad to know. Nor does it require your direct involvement in every crime. To be absolutely safe, it’s important to know nothing as an employee.
Product, UI designer, front-end engineer, compared with back-end engineer, customer service, operation and other positions, the crime risk is higher, because these three jobs can directly contact the page, if you see the page, you still say you do not know, even I do not believe, police uncle will not believe. Although the industry knows that the back end is the one who knows the most, all the back ends in our case either missed or got bail and got suspended sentences. After all, the average detective isn’t a professional.
Myth 2: There are so many people doing it that they can’t catch me
Yes, there are people committing the same crime as you all the time, but why don’t they get caught? China is a nation of law breakers, selective enforcement. I can’t remember anyone I know who hasn’t broken the criminal law, and of course it’s just hyperbole to say that everyone has. It’s like winning the lottery. You never believe you’re going to win the lottery. As long as you feel that the probability of getting caught and what it will cost you are proportional to your benefits, go ahead.
People who earn this kind of money can only earn this kind of money, which is like gambling, not falling into the abyss is not to quit, even if quit also large probability of relapse. I have seen a lot of people who have violated the law all their lives. With the advancement of various systems and technologies, they are finally imprisoned in their late 20s. It seems that their life is over before they can use the money they earn to enjoy retirement.
You should never think about your absolute safety on the network, such as buying other people’s ID cards, money laundering, overseas servers or moving your family abroad. As long as you are a Chinese citizen and the consequences of your crime are within China, your chances of staying out of prison for life are actually about the same as winning the lottery. The only way you didn’t get caught is if you’re just a shrimp.
Myth 3: Spend money to find someone can fix it
This may still be the case in small towns, but in big cities, where law enforcement is becoming more regulated, if you’re pinning your hopes of law avoidance on relationships, you’d better reevaluate.
Recently, the big data industry has also experienced industry shocks. On the invisible Internet, countless invisible worms crawl and devour countless data. And these bugs, most of which are written by programmers, don’t know how many programmers will be affected.
I hope all programmers can write code happily.
