The highest realm of programmers: transfixed

The idiom "transfixed" comes from a small story in Chuang-Tzu.

"Zhuang Zi • Dawson" Guijing for the king raised the rooster. 10th and asked: "Chicken already?" "Yue:" not also, Fang Virtual Kosala and rely on gas. 10th asked again, Yue: "Not also, still should be to the scene." 10th asked again, Yue: "Not also, the disease of Judah to see and Sheng Qi." 10th asked again, Yue: "A few." Although the chicken has the Naruto, has not changed, looks like the wooden chicken, its virtue is all, the different chicken no dares, the anti-walk. ”

according to Chuang-Tzu, the growth of the fighting cocks goes through four stages, and "transfixed" is the final and perfect stage. As I see it, the programmer's growth is also going through four stages.

First stage: Conceit gas　　

This is a chicken-fighting rooster that has just been selected from the chickens. The criteria for selection are mainly muscular and physically robust. However, at this stage, because the game has not experienced the brutal training and combat, often "no chicken in the eye", conceit arrogant.

from the IT industry, the programmer at this stage is primarily a programmer who has just stepped into the IT field. Stop by a language in this field, do a few systems feel that they can hold torches, wear out the dark, full of self-confidence is the case. However, the newly-introduced programmers, the development of the program also stay in the conceptualization of cognition, everything easy to think too simple, for the development process may occur in various risks, there is no sober and accurate understanding. Also Yue: dictionary.

The second stage: A view of the Jews　　

to give a sound. View, refers to the image. After the first 10 days of brutal training and the regular season, the conceit self-esteem of the game began to shake, they gradually learned to be cautious, weakness in people, learned to bide, to accumulate strength in the forbearance. They made a slow march towards success. At this stage, those who cannot get rid of pessimism, those who cannot endure reality, and those who are not good at accumulating power will be eliminated.

This stage corresponds to the programmer at the intermediate level. At this stage, in the field of knowledge system gradually become, through the baptism of various projects inevitably encounter all kinds of setbacks, although understand a lot but do not understand more, occasionally for the future seems confused and pessimistic, and even produce fear mentality. But, if can adjust the good mentality, the intense study, the research, and actively explores the road which suits oneself development, the success is not unreachable.

The third stage: The disease view Sheng Qi　　

this stage of the fighting, in training mastered the skills of wrestling, in the actual combat win more than a few, confident spontaneously. They are sharp-eyed and domineering. This self-confidence and conceit arrogant self-confidence has a qualitative difference, is experienced "negation" after the true self-confidence. This stage of the fighting, in fact, is a good fighting cocks, but it can not be called "The King of the fighting."

This stage of the programmer, corresponding to the advanced level of the programmer. It is the backbone of the current IT field to be a programmer who has established its place in the war, skilled and skilled, with considerable economic income.

Fourth stage: transfixed　　

In Zhuangzi, this is the "ultimate weapon", is at the highest level of the fighting, skill, leadership group LUN. It has a true king of the gas, fine, gas, God restrained, not publicity, not to brave, in the strong strength, the other roosters only self sigh, dare not challenge, reverse nationalists.

If on the basis of the previous stage can be multi-Habitat, to the whole stack forward, the time will be able to this stage. Programmers at this stage are not going to argue with anyone about "Java or. NET, Windows is good or Linux, SQL Server or MySQL is bad". They are not entangled in a particular platform or language, but for different scenarios demand free choice of deployment, AK and M4 switch freely, gallop the plateau and rivers.

The training of the rooster is scheduled, planned, and roughly 10 days in a phase. But for programmers, the above four phases seem to have no fixed time limit. Some programmers can achieve success in a very short period of time, while some programmers are thick and thin hair, do not beep is already, blockbuster. Some programmers will soon be able to realize their own situation, and actively explore the way of transcendence, some programmers would create a "knot", life is difficult to find a breakthrough, it is regrettable.
