On how to get through the Rising Channel of software personnel

I recently saw an article in the company forumArticleHow to get through the Rising Channel of software personnel is not biased.

The industry chain conspiracy provides an example: a Barbie doll sold for $10 in the U.S. market is produced in a production factory in Guangdong, it is good for the manufacturer to earn $1 in revenue. So where did the other $9 go? It is nothing more than a chain of circulation, channels, and sales. Enterprises/individuals engaged in production are always at the bottom of the industrial chain.

From another perspective, if you work at the price of $1, even if the boss gives you all the money, it will not cost $1. On the contrary, if you work in another $9 value region, even if you only earn 20% of the profits, the revenue is as high as $1.8.

I think it may be because we are at the lowest level in the industry chain, just like people engaged in agricultural production.

The company aims to make a profit, and the 5 K can find people to do things, it will never spend 1 million to do. Therefore, the thinking of the management layer has always been: "You don't want to do it, some people are willing to do it, the four legs are hard to find, and the code farmers with two legs are more ". Under the guidance of this idea, pure software coding personnel have limited development channels. Software personnel are not the same as "coding personnel". If they are only "coding personnel", some people will be eliminated according to the pyramid principle of talents.

Therefore, there are only two ways to achieve long-term development:

1. Long-term technical work (not limited to coding) to go to the top of the pyramid;

2. Change the direction to a link with a high value (or at least the manager thinks the value is high) and cannot refuse to change;
