Days in the state-owned enterprise (preface)

Ling is a child of my next-door neighbor who is currently in high school.
One morning, I was in the study was preparing to write something, but the overall framework is not ready, the middle write stop, from time to time to look up at the ceiling of ecstasy.
Ling came in, is also want to look for me to borrow books to see, My bookshelf always has three rows, the first row is the computer software development aspect books, the second row is the philosophy, the psychology aspect book, the third row is the novel story aspect book, she very likes my bookshelf on the third row of books, there are some of her age love to read books She borrowed the most is Qiong Yao, Sanmao and Zhang ailing's novels, occasionally will borrow some Lu Xun, Shen Congwen and so on, she often Hanxiao said, uncle your bookshelf on the third row of books are National Treasures Oh, now online to find some such books are very difficult. Then often asked me why the first row of books and the second row of books are constantly increasing, the third row of books since she entered the study has not seen the increase.
I do not know how to explain, half jokingly said, uncle now rely on the first row of books in the family, oh, the second row of books is the comfort of the uncle's heart, the older the more need. The third row of books in fact uncle also only occasionally turned over, has sunk heart from the beginning to see the tail.
Ling saw me writing, curious to ask, "What are you writing?" ”
"In conceiving a story. "I replied.
"What kind of story is that, huh?" Ling asked again.
"is a story about the daily work of programmers. "I answered.
"What is a programmer, what is a programmer's job?" Ling puzzled to ask.
"The programmer is," I paused, found that the programmer can not be the next popular definition, especially in the people who are not in this industry, I have been a programmer for more than 10 years, in the future may also be a few decades, I suddenly feel my world is a little narrow, I simply put down the pen, the right hand holding the cheek, watching the Ling, Smile Counter-ask:
"What do you say?" What do you think the programmer will be? ”
Ling thought, Timidly said: "Programmer is ..., is not to give people with computer, installed operating system?" , Ling's father is a teacher, often asked me to help him to see the computer, sometimes the computer is not really card, I have to install the operating system once and for all, ling to my career positioning should also be at this stage.
I smiled and shook my head.
"The programmer is not to help people do the site, such as our school's website teacher can post some announcements, class information, so we can see more information more extensive?" Ling added.
"Well, also, not all, but closer than the previous answer. I replied, and then asked Ling:
"I am now in the third row of books you almost half read, you will continue to borrow the above books, you can tell me why I like to read this type of books?" ”
"This Ah, I like to read about love novels, and those plot is very rich, I love, because understood." ”
Ling said excitedly.
"So where do you work, do programmers work from home?" , Ling asked curiously.
"In most first-tier cities. "I hesitated," answered the question.
"No wonder my uncle runs out all year round, can't programmers just work in one place like my dad?" Ling suddenly asked foolishly.
"This, uncle this career when Young is need to go to more discipline." "I replied in an awkward way.
Then I solemnly asked Ling: "If I write a story about the programmer, would you read it?" “
Ling wrinkled his brows and said:
"If you write the story is not boring, do not preach the sermon, the best is related to love, and the content is easy to understand about the life aspect, I will see." “
After that, Ling found the book she wanted to read and went away.
"Not dull, do not preach the sermon, the Best and love, the content is easy to understand." "I took a serious note of what Ling said, deeply immersed in meditation."

Ling words make my brain hole open.
Writing "Days in state-owned enterprises", I have been engaged in software development for more than more than 10 years to enrich the programmer's career.
I am tired of using empty, abstract terminology to explain the principles of a technical point of the program, and I am eager to write an easy-to-understand story that demonstrates the programmer's daily work and lifestyle in a compelling plot, and in short, I want to write a story that anyone who knows nothing about the IT profession programmer wants to see and understand. Do popular tastes, all ages.
So, how do you write it? I was caught in the middle of endless thinking.
Right now, Ling came in and had a conversation above.
I carefully think about what Ling said: not boring, do not preach a sermon, the Best and love, the content is easy to understand. In fact, Ling's plain English, is not the programmer's story? The program originates from the demand, the demand originates from the life, the programmer daily Communication and the communication is the person and the person time emotion collision, I must put the programmer's inner world naked display in outside, this is the ordinary person's reading orientation!
I felt a sense of mind, and felt the whole framework had already begun the idea of the story.
"Days in state-owned enterprises" This story, recorded many years ago I work in the enterprise experience, in order to protect the privacy of the parties, I in the name and plot have done some appropriate adjustments and packaging. But I did not make up a story, after all, I am not a novelist, I just based on my original work experience, the development of each plot is a little episodic description.
At the same time, my story is mainly located in the IT sector, so inevitably will join a number of professional topics on the project, I try to be popular and concise, I will not introduce code, but will be more clear architectural design ideas, so that we see the story at the same time there is a real content to resonate.
In the writing of the story, I also added some of their own understanding of philosophy, psychology, human values and experience, and some of the content to do some detailed analysis. In order to enhance the understanding of the reader, I will learn all my life through this story consciously or unconsciously to show, at the same time, I also reflect on and reflect on the meaning of life, hope to be able to make a further growth of the people.
This is the whole frame of the story.
The story of this book, not every article is related to love, but each article is related to human.
Some people say that the programmer's life is only to deal with the code every day, in fact, I do not think so, the programmer is the spirit of high-quality pursuit, has a rich inner world, which is not seen by the general people. In a sense, the programmer is also an artist, the art of human and code, and the spiritual communication between people.
Work for more than 10 years, often asked himself, do programmers have no regrets, but also can do the move, this in addition to anxiety, there is fear, but also have a harvest, there are surprises, I hope that all things through the "in the State enterprise days" to express it, while grateful to every person who read the story, Your attention is my writing down the motivation, writing is not good, I will work harder.
