Meng Yan talks about programmer's career planning

Let's talk about some things on Weibo.

1. See the csdn DiscussionProgramIs the member already dead. I have no idea about this issue, because in essence, it is simply to express a question that has been being discussed with Nietzsche's weight. In fact, this topic is neither a matter of career planning nor a matter of technical orientation, nor a matter of mentality. According to the standards of the arguments, only those who have achieved self-fulfillment in their careers can be regarded as living, so the vast majority of people in the world who are unhappy are dead. What do you mean when a programmer dies? It shows that the programmer's career is still good, at least it will make you think about it. Only when there is a feeling can we know that it hurts. There are so many people in the world who don't feel it anymore.

2. The conclusion of this discussion has not changed over the past decade. It is nothing more than talking about programmers going out of the circle, expanding their horizons, and carefully planning their own life routes. I used to think so too much. Is the life route planned? Is it planned to succeed? A few years ago, at the csdn hero conference, Zhou Hongyi was very thorough. The vast majority of the so-called life plans were flashback.

3. jump out of the programmer circle-this is a good idea. Programmers should jump out of the circle and look at the world outside. This is not to say that you will be able to become more ambitious and be able to make a life of Nb, but to give you a chance to understand that, in fact, it is not easy for everyone to live. So if you are really suitable for Program Creation, don't talk so much nonsense, don't be so arrogant and self-pity, and write your program well.

4. every few years, the programmer circle will erect a new idol school career. Ten years ago, I was a project manager, five years ago I was an architect, and now I am a product manager. The essence behind it is the same, that is, a profession-drawing a little bit on the whiteboard with a marker pen, spraying a few mouthfuls of spams, so that the boss of Sb is stunned, before the fainting, let your little hand wave and direct a bunch of moles behind you to hide and kill the past. After the dead are everywhere, you will always get the prize.

5. before October year 67, project managers became popular. Programmers saw that this guy was not good at work, responsible, not responsible, angry, scared, not good at eating, sleeping, and drinking cold water. As a result, the "Project Manager" brand stinks. In year 34, architects became popular. Programmers saw that this guy was not doing well. The world was flying, saving the scene everywhere, and challenge was everywhere, no one listens to the speech. If something goes wrong, it's all about "Architecture problems". We also need to watch out for "disruptive architecture changes" once every few years. If we're not careful, we will be very confused. So the "architect" brand stinks again. Now the product manager is popular. When will this brand stink? Let's count down...

6. Don't blame programmers. I have to say that Chinese knowledge workers in the 2010 age (words introduced by Microsoft a few years ago) are generally a cup of cake. However, this cup was caused by a series of major national events and never solved it in the short term. As for your personal experience, there are opportunities for change, but it depends largely on your persistence and luck, rather than your career planning.

7. After the financial crisis, the world has entered an unpredictable age. Some people don't believe it. They think that printing some money is OK, or buying some houses is OK. In fact, they just don't come back. If you hear that Bernanke is going to adopt an "unconventional monetary policy", you are not scared, either your existence is a tragedy, or you are TMD economist who can make money by making speeches.

8. In the days to come, certainty is more precious than gold. WriteCodeJust like planting food, shoes, and hair, it is one of the few deterministic things in the world.

9. So programmers are pretty good.

10. Finally, let's talk about it all the time. It is best for programmers to understand the industry and it is different to understand the industry.
