procedures, technology, trends and fashion

This year saw a film The Intern ("Intern") Anne Hathaway (Anne Hathaway Wei) starring, think this kind of urban film is good, and then in the watercress related film recommendation and happened to see her another old piece of the Devil Wears Prada (Chinese translation called "The Queen of Prada" or "The Devil of Fashion") a film about the fashion industry, after reading it, even if the IT technology put into it is quite appropriate, no abrupt, if there is a sense.

History of the current

On the understanding of this problem, in the face of endless new technology, the general programmer to chase the technology trend, always feel tired, how is good? I think this question should be a universal question, because it has bothered me.

Just entered the time I used PB, not long and replaced by Delphi, for the Enterprise write C/s (CLIENT/SERVER) structure software. But soon the C/S software is on the wane, not popular. After the rise of the Internet, b/s (BROWSER/SERVER) structure of the application began to hot, I went to learn the JSP, into the full swing of the Java EE application development. Just to understand the EJB with proficiency, a buddy ran out to say that the EJB is too heavy, the lightweight framework of Spring (spring) came, so I quickly set foot on the "Spring" train.

Has not felt enough spring, the sky again floated a "cloud". Cloud computing is a new technology trend, virtualized from Hypervision, Xen to OpenStack and Docker. The age-old relational database and SQL in the cloud era seem to be less energetic and elegant, with NoSQL in season and a few NoSQL databases that don't count. The cloud has its good brother Big data, and the family of Hadoop, which is known for its doors, cannot bear the limelight of the upstart Spark. On the ground for a moment, I had to see the court before the flowers and fall, looking at the sky Cloud Cirrus.

In recent years, not only the back-end technology tide surging, front-end technology is also comparable. Many years ago can boast all-stack development, in addition to writing back-end logic, but also to design their own pages, HTML, JS and CSS three-piece set to play with a sample. JS just like the framework infinitely more, from JQuery, Ext to Angular and React has been the world, the HTML seems to change the least, but I have no time to care about H5 exactly what changes, and now who also write CSS, we now write more advanced and then compiled into CSS.

The above mentioned a lot of technology is just with me in the shoulder and past it has entered the history of the mitchellsays, but the trend is still continuing, we will eventually face the tide of the wash over and over.

Path of propagation

In the face of this technology, why are the above technology finally on the forefront of the tide, washed up before us? And I think there are a lot of technology even the name has not been able to stay, it has sunk into the bottom.

In the film there is a talk about the trend and fashion spread, the woman wearing Prada is the way to educate the fledgling Anne Hathaway Wei:

　　

You go to your closet, choose, I do not know how to say, such as the choice of your baggy blue sweater. Because you try to tell the world that your life is so important that you can't care what you're wearing. But you have to know that the dress is not just blue, it's not cyan, it's not blue, it's turquoise.

You also carelessly ignore this fact, as early as 2002, Renta designed a series of blue dresses. Then, I think it is Yves Saint (famous French fashion brand), is it? Design a sky-blue military jacket. After that, the sky-Blue became the favorite of eight different designers. Then into the department store, and finally slowly infiltrated into some sad mid-range brand (original with Casual Corner American mid-range Comfort brand representative).

There is no doubt that this has allowed you to pick it up from their clearance. In short, the blue value of millions of dollars, spent countless efforts. The funny is that you think you chose this color to keep yourself away from the fashion world. And the truth is, a bunch of people in this room have picked this sweater from a pile of clothes.

This is a description of how fashion trends from top designers gradually penetrate into the middle of ordinary people, in fact, the path of technological trend of transmission I feel very similar.

Recently, a book "MicroServices Design" has just been published, making the discussion about microservices seem lively, and microservices architectures have become a popular technology trend in large-scale Internet application architectures. And this book is actually translated by the end of 2014 published "Building MicroServices", and before the English version of the book, in early 2014, the technical framework of the architect of Martin Fowler has written a lot about the system to explore the micro-service articles. And in the 2011 and 2012, before these articles, some of the elite engineers from the internet company organized a small-scale symposium near Venice (workshop) to explore the way they are practicing software architectures.

So maybe some of the trendy techniques you're talking about and choosing today are the ones you don't know when the workshop a small gang of people to help you make your choice.

The formation of fashion

For most of us, we face the technology of this water, plunge into it like a stone, perhaps splashing a small splash, then revert to calm, never set off a wave. And only a few companies or a few people are leading and driving the technology trend, and formed a fashion.

For example, the few companies behind the microservices mentioned above are Amazon, Netflix, and a few are Martin Fowler. IOS7 has opened up a flat aesthetic fashion, and the few and companies behind it are Jony Ive and Apple. AlphaGo go to win over human top players, an artificial intelligence feast is opening, Google stood behind the smile without words.

The waters of technology have never been calm, one wave after another, pushing up a new round of fashion. The wave of technology and the new fashion let us have uneasy and fear, overwhelmed and disappointed, perhaps you have also stood on a certain tide, but we may not need to conquer every wave.

Technology of the T-platform

In the movie, the Devil says the most important thing in a year is a week in Paris (Paris Fashion Week), where the central issue surrounding the fashion industry is to lead the aesthetic trend around this core to select, crop and match.

The technical community also has a similar convention, which is a technology of the catwalk. The company's technology "models" here staged a show about technology, what we can see here is a technical fashion of the coat, but do not forget in such a show around the core problem is what?

Just as the fashion conference exchanged designers ' views on aesthetics, the Technical conference exchanged engineers ' views on practical issues. The advent of technology is always to solve the problem itself, with questions to see how different companies ' engineers choose, crop and match technology.

So when we focus on the problem, we will find a lot of new technical terms, mostly re-discover the value of old technology. MicroServices re-applied the value of Unix philosophy, and the distributed Services framework re-discovers the value of RPC that occurred 40 years ago. Cloud computing is redefining the understanding of the operating system between machines and machines, and even between data centers and data centers. Technology trend and fashion is only branches and leaves, the technical basis is the root and source.

Fashion, such as flowers, charming eyes, problems such as Asakusa, cover people's roads. Return to the essence of technology, brush aside the flowers and shallow grass, easy to move forward.

...

Many years ago, I was a full stack (DIP), the site's pictures also want to design their own, so bought this PhotoShop book want to Learn to do, saw a burst of sudden understanding, wrong. Today the tide is still raging, I stand on the shore, watching the tide leap over, gradually drift away. This is really about choice.

Write a program of the world's words, draw a picture of life moment.
