The identification of lazy patterns

The company recently put me in charge of developing an app to increase user stickiness. Before you develop the app, talk to your boss about which platform the entity is on first. The boss bluntly first iOS. I asked why, the boss replied: "Our app is focused on the client is land investment expansion, this group of people, are tyrants, who uses Android?" To give a simple example, how many people in our company use iOS? "So we started to get ready for iOS," he said. However, when we visited the user, we found that the boss was crying, because we visited 10 users, 8 Android, an Android and iOS tablet, effective long-term use of iOS, only 1. This also led to our first version of the direct user, can not be our previous visit to the user, the early visits in the process of the relationship between the establishment, situation generation and have to do again.

Later, I wrote a "Talk about team spirit", Ouyang also static comments mentioned in the "lazy", plus I was reflecting on this matter, perhaps the cause of this accident in addition to their own users not enough attention, decision-making too easy, did not do market research, not strictly according to product development process, There is also a deeper hidden bug: Lazy!

Lazy Mode 1: What you should do, not do

According to the plan, today this matter should be finished, but today in a bad mood and out of the time, no face to the Kyrgyz side, not suitable to fix the bug. The person who has this kind of performance, actually more is the serious flaw of the responsibility, if you are lucky, encounter this kind of colleague work together, that congratulations, you have a good mirror, but don't learn to mirror, but to learn to avoid.

Of course, if you can determine the fate of this person, I suggest you let him go sooner or later, such people will make your management costs rise and will harm the team, because people are lazy, such people will be other people's laziness hook out.

Lazy Mode 2: Do not do things by yourself, do not want to, do not ask, do not do

The oil bottle is down and no one is helping! "If you think of this as the basic idea for IT team building, then the team's days should not be better." Some people began to shoot the brick: "Landlord 2b! (In other words, everyone said 2B, I have not been clear, what 1B is), the responsibility is clear, not very good? "Yes, clarity of duty is very good, but self-observation should not be suitable for the IT team, before the company a leader and I talk about their team began to do the team split, I laugh and not language, and then really can not stand, and then warned him:" eldest brother, beware of oil bottles poured did not help yo! " "The eldest brother solemnly said to me:" Now this stage, I just want this, very simple, we are not clear responsibilities, problems are not responsible for! "The eldest brother is so certainty, I still can only laugh but not language." Half a month after the boss's trial, the company moved to the office address, as a result, the Department of people almost all stood there, the eldest brother is very angry, scold subordinates are lazy, but I think it is very simple, moving, not within my responsibility, my pen, notebook in the present here is what kind of, Your administrative department should have moved me. Six months later, the department alone undertakes the development of an internal system even more confusing, having made a joke: when the product manager delivers the developer demo, one of the functions involves odd even times and writes: "1,3,5 is odd, 2, 4, 6, etc. are even." "When the version was written, -1,-2,-3 was not processed and the version was postponed. In the summary of the version, the developer directly said: "Product managers have not only written 1,3,5,2,4,6 did not write -1,-2,-3." "Later, the eldest brother assessed, there was a mistake from the developer, but the product manager was more wrong (so every time I was invited to their version summary meeting, I was very nervous because, in the already solidified air, the cigarette smoke diffuse, the group of people pinch each other, eat fruit to pinch each other. ）。 I later borrowed the demo to look at it, faint on the spot, a page, full of text description has 2 pages, is said, at that time a system, 5 development, 2 tests, 1 product managers, with 1 assistants, also said the product workload is too large, the product version of the delay serious.

"Why is it that the responsibilities in the IT team are not good?" "It's been a long time, and then one day at a party, when everyone was talking about it, I suddenly got inspired and felt this solution." Presumably so, it research and development is a mental work, not like physical life, all the output is well measured, even if the mold is difficult to do, as long as there are drawings, I do things, can be used on large machines. But it research and development is not like this, do a detailed design, you give me a maximum interface, I realize your interface on the line, but you can not specify the number of lines I write code, Word. Again strong test, also impossible to do 100% use case coverage, and then the best products, it is impossible to think of all the user scenarios. Therefore, an effective team, we can challenge each other, as long as there are sufficient reasons, developers can query the design of the product. Of course, some people will say: "Every day, how do things?" "In this, I just want to say, the opposite, do more, the higher the risk!"

Landlord Crooked Building, which has a dime relationship with laziness?! "The mistake of the guiding ideology of team building is not the other, but the latent laziness inside you." If you want to go to a certain height of life, you need to accumulate, this accumulation may not be within the scope of responsibility, because only this, you will slowly care about the world around. Therefore, "Do not want to do product development, not a good test!" ”

Lazy Mode 3: Willing to mediocrity, aren't eager

There are a class of people, 7 o'clock every day to the company, the evening to leave the 10 o'clock, work diligently, conscientious. However, the result is that the project, which is responsible for it, has a very good six or seven points, so that the program he writes is always in the expectation, but never more than expected. Such a person, 10 years as a day, a day like 10 years, as the socialist has tried to praise the screws, like a long stay in that position forever.

There is a friend in the company, people are very good, work very motivated, had to do when the programmer, conquer numerous complex functions, after the outstanding meritorious, Special was the chief of the strategy, willing to lead the team, continue to conquer problems. But then, ten battles eight lose, a flat, a win. Have discussed with him, why and why, and why. All the others, none of them. After a programmer to change its writing a complex function of the code, found that it used more than 30 if...else ..., made a huge number of 4-layer for, so the problem is revealed. This colleague, who can be a programmer before (in fact, should be a code farmer) to work, and can complete a lot of complex functions, none of them because of their diligence. But now he's starting to do a very creative job with no change in his mode of thinking: "As long as I work hard, try all the way, there is always a can, if not, then else, no, then if, then else so many." "This kind of person, very busy, will always be busy, but will be like a gyro, busy spinning, and occasionally turn around:" Ah! The landscape has not changed, I have not changed, but only the number of age and hair on the head!

This laziness, not manifested in the behavior above, in the psychological or thinking, and the most terrible is this person will have a hint: "This failure, prove that I am not enough effort, I should work harder." "Therefore, extremely difficult to identify, and, others can not mention, can only through their own deep introspection can identify, and to improve, can" when the CEO, married Bai Fumi, embark on the peak of life! ”

Lazy Mode 4: Thought giant, Action dwarf

There is also a class of people with a flexible mind that uses 20 hours of the day to think. Talking about the idea of entrepreneurship to set a set, talking about a technology to, logically. But once asked to implement the progress, his answer is often: "Now, this is still an idea, not implemented." "To know when the CEO, marry Bai Fumi, embark on the peak of life such things, rely on the idea, but can not rely solely on ideas, but also to see action."

In extreme cases, people who are trapped under this pattern are always looking for ways, but for all the methods are to be tasted, and the depth is not impossible for those who are caught in the pattern, but unwilling to do so. When. NET is easy to find, they learn. NET, but when he sees Java pay, he embraces Java, and later in the team, when he sees a little bit of a rush from the DBA, then turns to be a DBA. 35 years down, when all the friends around is a certain o, he began to be depressed, why, I was just a programmer, although I have been learning, has been working hard.

PS. Landlord is also such a person, therefore, I did not embark on the peak of life. ）

Of course, to change this lazy pattern, not only to clearly recognize this model, but also to pay attention to some methods, here with I have to give up the habit of sleeping late, for example (forced Ah, because I long sleep, my son also long sleep, even he can sleep later AH).

When I realized that I was going to bed early, I thought of two options: Plan one: Early to bed triggers getting up early, and goes to bed every 10 o'clock in the evening. Plan two: Early to wake up early to sleep, scheduled 6 o'clock every day. And then, I started experimenting, the first 10 days, I use the first method, but the result is that night 10 o'clock after bed, as a result of late sleep habits, although 10 point to bed, but lying in bed, will be endless insomnia, generally sleep also 12 points, the next day must not get up early. So, in 10 days, the number of early rises is only 2 days, and, after getting up early, the spirit is very bad, all day is drowsy. The second 10 days, I use the second method, no matter how late to sleep at night, the next morning on time 6 o'clock to get up. So, I adjusted the alarm clock, the day 6 o'clock in the morning was awakened on time. The results of the first four days are awakened by the alarm clock, the spirit is not good, but from the fifth day, to 5 o ' clock about 50 on their own wake up, and the spirit of a feeling, to the 8th day, I can turn off the alarm clock. Moreover, every 9:30 P.M. or so, the eyelids began to fight.

So, to overcome this pattern, the first is to have the pressure, this pressure or from itself, or from the outside world, and then have a plan, you have to think how to overcome the current difficulties, again, to learn to do experiments, and constantly evaluate the results of the experiment to correct;
