2014 January 1, until the dining guests all walk, closed shop back home is already early morning, think of the time in Beijing, my girlfriend let me go home with some green onions, I bought a leek, then incredibly opened a restaurant, but also the main procurement, change is very big ah.
Go to the chase. My career smooth sailing, after graduating directly to Beijing, encountered the best era of mobile internet, a variety of new opportunities and challenges, let us these IT industry newcomers can quickly get enough experience and experiences, have the opportunity to become Daniel, this is really a best time, created a lot of waves. For me personally, at the same time is the worst of times, because the most impetuous when I did not seize the best opportunity, not lack of learning ability and creativity, but always do not want to go through the waves to reach the other shore. This is fully reflected in my consideration of the programmer's career life cycle:
I sometimes compare my career to a game, there are many characters in the game, some characters are born stronger than other characters, the so-called times to create heroes, it is their advantage, but they may only be 5 in a lifetime, compared to other occupations of 10, 15, a lot less, early strong, does not represent the stability of the later period, For this profession, the network is a big short board, after all, the lack of a lot of contact with the outside world, hindered the process of establishing a foothold in the city (in my understanding, if the city is a solid footing, the need for adequate financial support and the establishment of the network), this is my first time on the programmer's career life considerations.
The choice of the beginning of 2012 later I in the support of the family, to go back to do food, from the full layman to at least a variety of raw materials know, price in the eye is also more transparent, at night to all the guests after the meal, early in the morning to do the purchase, said really, I do not feel more difficult than the programmer, I always think that work and entrepreneurship is similar to the degree of hardship, not the same is the degree of worry and the treatment of a variety of relationships, well-groomed or very fulfilling.
Besides, why did you choose to eat and drink? is fully aware of the simple and one-sided ah, I think that food as long as the taste is done, the source of nature can guarantee that people have to eat every day, my store has unparalleled geographical advantage, convenient traffic, gratifying passenger flow, coupled with the local people do not save the habit, I just want to ensure good taste at the same time, at least try a new At least two weeks to introduce a new dish to satisfy the freshness, I think the prospect is still very optimistic.
The real situation .... First of all, I do not judge the market, mainly grilled fish and spicy incense pot, ignoring the impact of the dry pot in the local, the initial lack of flexibility, only according to the menu on the preparation of dishes, ignoring the seasonal dishes, the early staffing shortage, into the production only to find a week to try a new dish too passive; , ignoring the characteristics of the turnover of the service workers.
Can be summed up as a heavy lesson, but it is not worthless experience, I finally feel like doing food and mobile internet almost. Why is it. I found in the local, the best hot pot store is not the best taste, his mutton roll is not even real mutton, and the other is real mutton, taste much better, and the price of each is more cheap, but the former store area is larger, is the latter 4 times times more people love to join in, this is the 1th, 2nd is the service is really better, The door to greet, go out on the send, the whole smiling face, polite people, in the catering industry staff flow so large situation, to ensure that the quality of each service personnel is also very difficult.
These and mobile Internet is also very similar to a project, in addition to the technical Cow B, the product must be excellent, the product is excellent, each participant also have enough passion and enthusiasm for the project, such as the domestic environment, no passion for their products, it is difficult to stand out from millions of of developers.
2014 years of the choice to open the shop during the frequent and other dining shop owners to communicate, and the most common topic is business how to do, I was very curious, I was a newcomer, although very hard to learn, but after all, lack of experience, and some of the 20-year veteran of the food and beverage industry do not feel that business, I inevitably some doubts If it's not worth sticking to, why stick to it now? Later on slowly let go, most of the restaurant owner is a kitchen origin, teens followed chef, from one months to 300 dollars, smoke 7 dollars a day to save 3 pieces of cigarettes to have a own shop is not easy, people to middle age itself interference also more, although not good to do before, but have their own façade, from the first job to now, Do not understand the other, in addition to insist does not seem to have much choice, and I can not cook now. These are external reasons.
For me also have their own internal reasons, in the opening of the shop, the rest of the day is actually not a lot, the morning began to be busy to 10 points, then close to the noon of the people, and so on at noon this period of busy past, to the 14~15 point, after a short break, and then from 17 o'clock in the afternoon to close to the flow of people, Busy at night in the past to 20~21 point, we usually no one to close the shop around 22:30, after returning home to arrange the next day of procurement, to meet the arrival of a new day, until May 2014.
But in this period, although the time is not much, I have not broken the connection to the mobile Internet. During this period took some outsourcing, shelves some apps, also do some like the wine management system such as the application for their own internal use, and Weibo are continuously operating, I think, I was a way to live with the mobile internet, I love it, but I have neglected the fact: life, Maybe only the first job you choose because of your personal hobbies, in the subsequent career, your initial hobbies, interests will be your experience 1.1 points of "correction", become more and more "correct".
Reflection now think of the programmer I thought about the life of the problem, it seems that the same as optimization, you want to use the shortest, most elegant implementation of the most complex logic of the work, but over-optimization, premature optimization itself is the devil, it is better to calm down, the cup is hot when you will naturally put down.
In addition own mentality also has the question, from the school to the work, has not suffered any setback, the graduation design 100 points, the work to be able, self-thought can improve the project many places, inevitably causes the inner swelling, based on this psychology worries about the future, fears day after day, has the law, the creative Life, Slowly feel that the technology of cattle b future can only that, money can only earn so much, the idea is really destructive, let me think the outside world is more beautiful, can't help but want to jump outside. Its time to suppress this impetuous idea is also very easy, as long as the cultivation of the habit of reading to read, I have done in the frog, until later found that the more books to see, the more I feel ignorant.
Build a boat to sail
No one can deny the importance of technology, science and technology to make people progress, but also to meet the human will never be satisfied with the desire, I am very glad that I love this industry, although I go around a big circle and back to the original point, but at least I have tried other, will not let the future I despise the original self.
Vaguely remember, before going to Beijing in 11, did not really step into the mobile internet, their mentality is the most naïve, the simplest, want to go, never thought to break out of what, do not consider the situation, is daring bold, but slowly changed in the later, the change is very delicate, like a poem Gibran:
We have gone too far to forget why we started.
I came to Xiamen at the end of May 14, I hope to pursue my heart, do not give up easily.
My 2014-Career change career, stick to the Internet
