Last night, inadvertently saw a news channel on the recent stir-fried "the youngest professor in history" interview, but one of his classmates for the dream of "realistic version" explanation quite a bit intriguing. The general meaning is to say, "fight to get into a dream of the university, parents hard to pay the tuition, we have picked the most easy credit, in order to obtain a good job we have lost the pursuit of the dream." Perhaps this is once in the employment pressure of our true portrayal, and in our wish to get or wishful or accommodating the offer of a few years later, how? Is the dream far away in your mind? a few days ago on Weibo to see a pretty interesting psychological age test, one of the questions is "What are you most afraid of losing?" "Some of the answers, family, marriage, work and dreams, and so on, I did not hesitate to choose the dream, I am proud of the smile-" I must be young. " No suspense, finally gave me "25", than the actual I am still young. O (∩_∩) o haha ~, do not know that you have been out of the campus for several years, whether you will not hesitate to give such a "young" answer. Perhaps a few more years, we really are no longer young, the side of the next will be springing up, watching their green stupidity peculiar, do you still vaguely remember that we have been like this? But will we still hold on to our dreams and expectations? 45 months for anyone's life is not short, and in this 45 months of work and study experience, twist two different jobs may not be much, But I can understand that it is not easy to be an electronic engineer. Third time standing at this crossroads, I have a relatively good balance of youth and experience, no elite school and academic aura, but the two books written is my stepping stone, just over two is still counted "beautiful" project is my biggest conversation. My experience is far from legendary, and I am not a very smart person. However, I would like to boast that I am able to do things down-to-earth and seriously focused. Once upon a time, I thought when the opportunity was right, maybe I would slowly leave the technology, perhaps the technical background would be my advantage. However, the conversation with a predecessor let me once again determined the technical path to the end of the determination and courage. "After all these years you have gone right, you have no detours ... In any case, technology cannot be lost. " It is also a coincidence that I know the elder. (all sorts of titles pass by), now he is not worried about the "free technical professional", he pursues not what success, is the free pursuit of technology. And in turn,I also talked to a friend in HW years, his talk, the understanding of technology on the FPGA is also worthy of praise, unfortunately, in the long-term workload, he admits "too tired, who want to at the age of forty or fifty still on the boring code to hit the keyboard, do some of these things will make people tired." I have some scorn, if love, why not! Of course, maybe if I had the guts to go to this high-load working environment for three or two years, maybe my ideas would change. Who knows? Things are always in development, nothing is a layer of constant, often in the face of ruthless reality, we say not count. like 24 months ago, I swore that I might be in a small company with nothing to do for five years, but the sudden change and the brutal status quo, And a clear understanding of individual capacity bottlenecks, I chose to give up again. In the search for the next post, in the face of different styles of employers, but also let me have more mature thinking, the reality is sometimes cruel, but in fact, the dream and reality is not in conflict, most of the time, well balanced, perhaps the reality will let the dream get better "sublimation." once naïve thought, I just want to be an FPGA engineer, pure FPGA engineer. But after looking around for four weeks, it was found that the offer was rare, very little, and even less pathetic. So, still in the University of the lost Dear shoes younger sister, do not think that FPGA has a promising end into the thought of having a "iron rice bowl", the reality will tell you "iron rice bowl is a cloud". Why is that? Of course, this is based on the current domestic enterprises of various status bar. In a sense, I personally in the FPGA is very refined, and in other aspects of the corresponding weak, after all, three or four years of work experience in there, and how to work hard, the individual is also to be limited by time and energy, some strong also doomed to be weak. At present, in my contact with these companies, most of them are not and are not ready to set up the so-called full-scale FPGA engineers, their ideal situation is a hardware engineer concurrently, they always want to find a more comprehensive engineer, not a cold so-called experts, In a sense, this is the whole Chinese environment. However, if you look at this issue in a different perspective, the concerns of business owners are not for nothing, if as a hardware engineer has some preferences, then his design more or less unconsciously to this aspect, the FPGA itself is very good, but the cost is high, and in some cases use is really inappropriate. Speaking here, in fact, has come to the point, the current application of FPGA is not very extensive, many times it is the choice of the forced, you say that the use of a lot of communication, but unfortunatelyMost are used for the verification before the flow, and image processing seems to need FPGA, but in my contact with a few companies (size is not small), they do the image, but even do not have their own FPGA engineers, that they do not use FPGA to do the work of the image algorithm class, At best, the preprocessing of high-speed data stream acquisition or forwarding is only. So, in fact, FPGA can do a lot of things, but the FPGA is not doing much at the moment, in addition, with FPGA, but do not rigidly adhere to the FPGA. This is my new understanding of FPGA, of course, unless there is a day FPGA can really bring the cost down to the level of recognition, and FPGA-based SOC can be compared with the current CPU, but I think this is still some years or even unrealistic. Today Xilinx Zynq or Altera SOC-FPGA may be trying to move in this direction, but I'm afraid it's hard for them to get around the sensitive topic of cost. In fact, in more than two years, really in two projects on the understanding of the FPGA temperament, through the system architecture and a variety of bus and peripherals familiar, I think I will be more than the traditional hardware engineers to understand the embedded system more deeply. This is the FPGA brought me an unexpected harvest, but I think, slowly, continue to the "deep" development, I will also pay more attention to a hardware engineer in the "wide" level of development. After all, my dream is not to write code to run the simulation of FPGA engineers only, I would like to gradually improve themselves through the FPGA to the system level, more from the overall balance to deal with a variety of different product requirements. Dream, not always a layer of constant, dream, sometimes need to be in front of the reality of the timely adjustment and re-......
