Talking about German technicians in my eyes

Due to work relations, I often go to Germany for business trips.ItTechnical personnel have some knowledge. Let's talk about Germany in my eyes.ItThe technicians mainly want to compare and think about the differences between technicians in the two countries and see where we need Chinese people to learn and learn from,ArticleFinally, I compared the industry atmosphere and environment issues.

Rigorous and careful, focusing on details

Germans are very concerned about the details. Even if a small place is not perfect, it will make Germans very uncomfortable. Like the German Mercedes-Benz and leopardIILike tanks, if there is a small screw that is not solid enough, the Germans will not let it go. This is the embodiment of their rigorous, practical, and meticulous spirit. The people of the German nation have been labeled with this label. If the customer is not satisfied with the products they have already completed, they will definitely modify them from the user's perspective and keep improving. They will never think that the products are perfect. We can see how sophisticated a software product is, but they are1.0I started to overturn the reconstruction.NOnly now. There is a spirit of innovation and the spirit of customer first, that is, do not first think about anything from your own perspective, but first think about it from the perspective of customers and users, this kind of product awareness and service awareness is very important.

We Chinese people do not pay much attention to details, especially in this impetuous society. They are everywhere "experts proficient in a certain field". Everyone enjoys fast development and enjoys doing big things. Lead to make a core module, ServerProgramOr advancedAlgorithmAnd other tasks, such as document update and maintenance.Code, Interface, client, etc. are not very happy. However, every piece of bricks cannot be saved in a smooth building. In fact, masters have a very solid foundation and accumulation, and focus on details. Therefore, both technology and business need to focus on and accumulate, so that they can become a big win. Envy masters and successful people, instead of starting from now on, starting from trivial matters and details, focusing on, persistence and innovation.

 

Team spirit

The German team has a good spirit, a tacit understanding and a friendly attitude between people, and the seating layout is also in the form of a team round table, open without any screen, the Project Manager or team lead is sitting next to a separate open seat, so that the team can communicate with each other in a timely manner. If you have any questions, ask them in time and share your learning resources. In addition, because the seats are open, employees will not waste too much time chatting online or browsing other work-related content. My personal teams have daily morning meetings, weekly meetings, andCode ReviewAnd other systems. These can be considered and used for reference.

Germans are particularly keen on drinking beer and chatting.Team buildingAnd Communication Training. Chinese engineers do not like to talk, and the team harmony and tacit understanding also need to be strengthened.

 

No crisis of thirty years

Most of the engineers I have seen are over thirty, or even 40 or 50. It seems that there is no so-called crisis of thirty years. I found that many of their engineers are very old, but they actively learn new things, and their thinking is still flexible, not just as rigid as they think. They can not only give good ideas, but also take risks and maintenance into account. I think these people are the fortune of the company. Of course, China cannot do this because of domestic environmental factors, which is complicated.

 

GermanyItPersonnel problems

European citizens have a lot of vacations and do not work overtime. There are still a lot of coffee time chats during work hours, which can easily leadItProject delay. So sometimes it is too user-friendly. In addition, compared with Chinese engineers, they are slower and less efficient. Of course, sometimes this is relative. Some of our new users work very quickly and write thousands of lines of code a day,BugThere are also many; Germans are slow but reassuring.

 

Comparison with China

Generally speaking, it is quite different from Chinese engineers. I don't think they are better or smarter than Chinese engineers. Apart from cultural differences, I think there is a big reason:Industry atmosphere and environment. China is currently in a period of imperfect systems, constant reform, and rapid development. Counterfeit Goods are rampant in the market. from individuals to enterprises, they are eager for immediate success and technical personnel are not respected (it will always be an official Society ), as a result, the survival environment of German technicians is significantly different. Imagine that if we change to a Chinese people's position in Germany to provide the same salary and welfare protection, we have every reason to do the same as good or even better as the Germans (pure technical capabilities, regardless of communication, learning, and innovation ). On the other hand, if a good German engineer is in China, with a poor salary, but also wants to see a doctor, buy a house, elder care, more work is not respected, if the thirty-year-old has not yet promoted the manager, because you get more than a newbie, there is also a risk of getting rid of new competitors. In this case, how can the Germans do slow work? It can be seen that clothing and food are full of honor and disgrace, while warehouses are real and courtesy. People may be confused, and it is difficult to concentrate on and invest in making things. This is the reason why the foreign technical staff can drill and sink, but we cannot sink.

While feeling deeply, I have to admit that the industry atmosphere and environment in China can not be changed in a day or two, or we can be changed by ourselves. What can we do? Do you complain when you are born? Do you complain that your salary is too low? How much does it cost? I think, even in China, if a person is a real technical master and a standalone, his salary will never be low. If we are not really a master or danale, attitude and way of thinking determine our future. We should really think about the style and habits of doing things. Sometimes the most difficult thing to change is the habit and thinking of failed things, which are influenced by the environment.
