[Sun's essay] Is there no time to develop technology?

If a technician is not engaged in management, will there never be any starting days?

In China, technologies have become increasingly boring. People want to join the ranks of civil servants or engage in business as their own bosses. Many friends once talked about their own technical undertakings, as if they were driving Noah's ark, and were arrogant. However, after many years, they have chosen management in a wise and profound manner, and then talked about technology, as if they were talking about a ship about to be sunk, however, we are fortunate to be spared.

In the IT industry, this phenomenon is even more obvious. As the lowest layer,ProgramThe members seem to have retired from the white-collar class to the blue-collar army. Everyone is confused-do we never have a bright start, always listen to others' calls, and never make decisions?

A few days ago, during a discussion at a reading conference, I made a PPT entitled "Fantastic Workplace planning" and shared some of my work experiences with you. This article mentions the following point of view: "You only need to focus on one thing and achieve department first, company first, region first, national first, and world first in turn, you are the world champion. Look, it's so easy to plan a world champion. It only takes five steps. -- Finding one thing that is beyond imagination is the most interesting career ."

While explaining, A friend asked: "If I am only engaged in technical work in an unknown small broken company, can I be the world champion ?"

This question is indeed very challenging. It is the question of "How can we get ahead of technical work ". At that time, I answered the following question:

---------------------------------
First, if you are not engaged in technical work, it is usually because you only work in the company's technical work. It is difficult to get started without a clear understanding of this point.

Second, if you are not working in a very challenging company like Google, you should learn [technology socialization ].Technology socialization includes four components:

① Share-share your technical experience with the society.
You can publish your work or learning experience through blogs or other forms, or take the lead in mastering a new technology and promoting it to the society. Sharing is an art. At the same time of sharing, it will certainly be accompanied by an improvement in understanding, application, summarization, improvement, expression, and even promotion, which is of great significance to the improvement of personal technology and the establishment of social influence. After this step is done, you are out of the ordinary. There is a poem to prove: Xiao He is exposed to the tip of the corner, spring breeze to the sun long.

② Advance -- meet like-minded partners to improve together.
A person's learning is boring and lacks reference, and is often trapped in inefficiency. Therefore, you need to find like-minded people and learn from them more. In this way, you can not only take less detours, but also go out of your own departments and companies in social circles, they have a place in society.

③ Collaboration-participate in open-source projects and learn from high people.
Learning is important, but practice is more important. This is because the practice is efficient, fruitful, and verifiable. The best practice is to participate in open-source online projects. Here, you can meet the world's most advanced technology, the world's most advanced technical people... If you want to get away from the shortest of the slot, and from the arrogant ignorance, Please carefully Try "collaboration ". At least it can help you understand "what is the world's first" and "what is the world champion?" in a short period of time, which makes you clear your goals and directions. Only by knowing this can you truly get rid of the undestination effort and embark on the correct route.

④ Practice-do not watch TV on the Internet while you are idle. Cultivate yourself!
The ability is not inherent, but can be cultivated the day after tomorrow. The ability is not static, but can be improved. The success of a person is not the success of his own practice, but the success of his self-cultivation. If you want to truly become your master, you need to truly control your own destiny, and you want to show your face one day, then, practice.

So how should we cultivate it? -- Carefully plan your own goals and time. First, find one thing, take it as a goal, and swear to make it more unimaginable. Second, you must learn how to use time. You can plan this matter in the long term and think about and execute it in the short term.

The four components of technology socialization are interrelated and complementary. The better the coordination between the four items, the higher your efficiency.

Remember that many years agoCommunityI have read a post called "self-proclaimed by a Chinese technician". I wrote this title in disorder, but I remember it clearly:

The author studied Java in the United States and spent two years reading more than 10 Java books. He learned all the authors through the Internet and worshipped them as teachers, two years later, his technology surpassed those famous masters, and he went to IBM as a Java architect to take charge of technical problems that others could not solve. What I thought at that time was that technology could also be used up!

All in all, as long as you earnestly perform technology socialization, even if you are doing a boring job without any technical skills in a small company, you can still be the world champion, you can still gain a bright career.
