This article is to see the "Milk cola Economics" when the light, solemnly recommend the book, very interesting, everyone can read the economics of books.

The more money people earn, the more willing they are to spend on most consumer goods, such as a tens of thousands of-piece suit, a tens of thousands of-piece bag, and a hundreds stadiums's car. Conversely, when you see a man wearing a 800,000 watch and driving a 2 million Maserati, you most of the time think the man is rich and capable.

How much people earn is proportional to how much they spend, people's ability and the amount of money they can earn is also proportional to the relationship, so a deduction, the higher the ability of people to spend on consumer goods should be more money, in turn, can be based on what clothes a person wears, what kind of car, what kind of watch to wear, roughly guess a person's ability.

This general law, in some occupations, has a more general reflection.

For example, financial analysts, often Armani, and a commuter bag like that:

Another example of a talented lawyer, generally wear brand-name suits to open more expensive car, because it seems he is more capable of more professional and more likely to help people win the lawsuit, when you want to open a rusty in the Austrian extension of the lawyer and an open atmosphere polished Audi A8 lawyer between the choice of a to help the company's lawsuit, Will definitely prefer to open the Audi. That's because what kind of car implies a lawyer's ability.

But the program apes are not Jiangzi, look at this closet:

Inside exclusively's grey T-shirts and pullover, and its owner is the former programmer, now the founder of Facebook, the IT world billionaire Zuckerberg.

Perhaps you would say that this is a top-notch programmer's Maverick, not representative, then we look at the American drama "Silicon Valley" male pig's feet Richard and his friends are wearing what:

See, zipper jacket, sweatshirt, plaid shirt, casual pants, jeans. That's all, the real programmers are basically this kind of equipment. You seldom see a programmer wearing a stiff suit and a shiny black leather shoe at your feet. So some people say that you walk the streets and see men with suits, pullovers, plaid shirts, jeans, backpacks and so on, nine to ten, programmers.

You see the name of the car again, not politicians, lawyers are businessmen, rich second generation, the stars, rarely seen programmers.

Programmers pay more than the average person, the annual salary of 1 million people, shook the listed companies a lot of stocks, but even these programmers, clothes, cars are casually like that, why?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the professional achievements of programmers and their clothes, cars, watches not a dime , they do not need to express their ability through these things, others will not think you wear a set of Armani wearing a piece of Vacheron Constantin think you write a good program. (In other words, do you still sit down in that dress?) Strange, weird. ）

Programmers are more likely to show things they think are better than clothes and cars, like the star and follower-flying GitHub homepage:

such as the introduction of personal homepage:

such as displays:

Programmers like the swordsman in the martial arts, the most able to show their ability is martial arts (professional ability), so, Hong Seven kung fu, but dressed in rags, sweep the monk seconds to kill the sweep not insignificant, they are more willing to spend time and money on all their favorite things, rather than wearing, cars, watches and other such "vulgar things" On
