Programmers, historically, have been the most maligned group. Often with “helpless pain, earn much, slovenly, indoorsy” associated.

Always seem to be “tall handsome, male god” insulation?

Ha ha, Wang Xiaobo smiled!

Wang Xiaobo (first generation Programmer in China) responds:

Programmers are naturally proud!

Why you became a programmer

To be honest, Abby has talked to many of her fellow programmers about why she became a programmer.

People who wait to become programmers after work can be simply and rudely summarized as “to make money” on the surface. After all, at the end of the day, who doesn’t want to change in order not to be a salt fish?

Without further ado, let’s get to the topic of this article:

“I’m a junior majoring in computer science and technology. To be honest, I didn’t know what to fill in for the college entrance examination, because I didn’t have any interests or specialties. Besides, my parents and relatives said that computer was a promising major. So I walked in by accident. After learning some professional knowledge, I found that programming is very complicated and abstract. So I want to ask you, at the beginning of the computer is for what, interest? Money?”

To tell the truth, I really because of poor, you don’t say my pattern is small and so on, relative to other graduating students, programmer’s salary is really high.

I really think that a little more money, it doesn’t matter if it’s tiring, it doesn’t matter if it’s difficult, it can change my life quickly, it can be legal and not violate my own ethics and values, fast independence.”

“My wish is my mother fill me in, she said the world’s richest man Bill Gates is to play computer, you also go to play computer. What you said is so reasonable that I am speechless.”

“I can’t do physics, never in my life. Paper will not be issued, it is programming that can maintain the appearance of life. Coming back to the company is like coming home. I feel much better in the company than at home! Everyone in it is talented and speaks well. I like it very much!”

“When I first touched the computer in junior high school (I was a good boy and never entered the Internet bar), I had an indescribable impulse, how to say, just like a hungry tramp seeing food.

The kind of huge virtual world, the satisfaction of curiosity, is unprecedented, so vowed to learn computer.

When the college entrance examination filled in voluntary, resolutely filled the computer, smoothly into the pit.

Many years later, suffering from the ravages of life, one is still old. Occasionally will think of that year’s choice, do not regret. “

“To write your own new language, that’s really cool!

Others to find a job generally write, I know XXX language, you write a sentence: X language is written by me ~ over all the force, you deserve to have”

“I was eager to break out of the established class

To give my offspring a higher starting point

Not elegant, but true.”

“Computers are the gods of the future, and I understand the language of god.”

“My program manages millions of people’s money.”

In addition to “poor” or “make money” this “unshakeable” reason or “suddenly found themselves like” these reasons, we have to say that one reason is to pursue the career development of individuals in the industry.

According to the development trend of the Internet in the past two years, I think the IT industry will have a very good prospect and a great space for development in the next 20 years at least. “Meet yourself at the best age” and it’s great to be able to use technology to improve your life!

A little thing that has troubled me as a poor man for three years

After entering the society for such a long time, I have found one thing that outstanding people are constantly investing in themselves, such as paying to learn stocks/funds; Going to a technology salon; Such as attending technical training; However, I am a poor person, so I question the paid products and keep away from them. I have been thinking that there are so many materials on the Internet, I can learn free ones, but I found that the results were half achieved with twice the effort.

If you had talked to me about paid learning five years ago, I would have laughed at you in my heart.

But now, MD smells so good.

Of course, it’s hard to change a person’s mind (and mine too) unless they change their own. I’m only here to share what I think is good, and I’m not trying to change yours.

To those who can listen:

A lot of people misunderstand the role of learning, acquiring knowledge is certainly an important aspect, but I think the more important role of paid learning is when you’re walking around in a daze and you don’t know which door to go through, someone pushes a door open for you, you slap your thigh, yeah, shit, THAT’s the door I’m looking for.

That’s my first question. The purpose of paid learning is to find direction.

I think another key point of paid learning is to pay, you are not the heart began to scold me cheap, right, is to pay, pay where the benefit? The point of paying is basically the same as reading a book without borrowing it. You are willing to pay to learn, that you have the power to change the status quo, paid learning is a kind of pay, after you pay, it is easier to harvest, very simple, paid fees, meat pain, you naturally want to return to the original, learning will be more than free on too much.

That’s my second question. If you want to gain, you have to give.

The other thing I would say is that the other important thing about paid learning is that it’s a process that allows you to sort yourself out, there’s a lot of knowledge that you already know, a lot of skills that you already have. After countless times of “wrong posture, get up and sleep again”, you may suddenly get the right posture in a learning process, and your life will be suspended from now on.

** This is my third question, pay to learn inward, don’t always look at what the teacher gives you, but think, what can you get, how can you get more. **

Pay a penny a points goods learning to buy other, looks almost, cheap and expensive still there, I went to one hundred pieces and one thousand pieces of the same class, first statement, in which no derogatory one hundred lesson piece, just say, you don’t pay the $100 to receive the effect of 1000 pieces, it is not possible, don’t fantasy opportunistic.

One of the great benefits of signing up for paid study is that you get a lot of like-minded friends!

** What to pay for ** My advice is to focus on areas that you are good at or interested in and need to improve. After high school, the barrel theory is no longer suitable for you. What you need most is to make the long board longer.

** It’s never too late to start ** It’s never too late to start someone’s life at seventy. You’re too young for that!

** Last ** If you want to learn the real thing, don’t be afraid to pay. To put it simply, let professional people do professional things. My hobby was to search for learning materials on the Internet, just like a headless fly. I thought that those who spent money on learning were fools. But the first time I paid for it, I got a lot;
