Why is it so important that the person who makes the website accept the tail?

This Sunday, Voofox is about to host a "focus of our internal" foreigner foreigners gathering "Party","focus party" this word is our own creation, is "focus Group + Alpha Test party". After the publication of the right announcement, these days attracted a lot of ringing, so I would like to explain a little bit here.

One, focus party: There is a YouTube film, the film sits in the lower right corner of the man's final heart disease, on the spot fell in front of everyone. The film illustrates the way the "focus group" in general: small rooms, invited respondents from various industries, races and caste groups, and four working hard to answer every question according to the situation portrayed by the facilitator. This is the main thing we want to do in the Sunday. Website for export, the target of 400 million people English Internet population, the United States accounted for only half of the rest, including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and even India. There are already "resources" on this side of Taipei, so we can make use of them, so that the foreigners in Taipei can help us to give some pertinent advice on the functional surface, the use process and even the color parts. The road of the website is long and old, the voofox.com is only our first product, then there is a turn; the backlog of this activity will be the "advisory panel" that we can ask before we open the station.

Alpha Test Party: As for the "alpha test party", the intention is to use the word "parties" to make foreigners want to come over. If we only invite four people to open "focus group", we should pay everyone "exit fee", but four people are obviously not enough to represent all the English-speaking countries and nationalities, we hope that a little more, to find at least three or more than 10 foreigners, since the inability to "hire" them, have to prepare some fried chicken, chips, pizza and so on, and finally send a T-shirt , we open a "Sunday afternoon relaxed party", while serious "meeting".

The point is, we think, we voofox development, has arrived to can "party" degree? No, just the opposite. On this day in Sunday, we took out a semi-finished product which is not yet 100% finished, let the wisdom of the masses of foreigners, help us "the finishing Touch", complete the last step. If there are many people who agree on which feature is particularly liked, we will also expand the function in time. Since we are taking out a semi-finished product that is not yet 100% completed, we hope to do everything possible to depress the number of visitors unless you take the foreigner. A person has to take a foreigner, two people with two foreigners, if you know foreigners, Sunday foreigners can also come over, welcome to register here, remember to leave the phone number, we will call with you confirm, do not leave the phone or unconfirmed, the same day still can not enter. This is my and all my colleagues set the rules, so I am not a person can decide; whether it is on the plateau to know our good friends, or to see the blog has been more than a year of entrepreneurs, creative families, this time, really want to say with you greatly sorry. Not to show everyone, but the time has not come!

Currently, Voofox's so-called alpha version is complete, just what is called "all functionality complete." This is the most critical moment of the team. Why did Voofox deal with all the software without outsourcing? Why is Voofox always looking for technicians, keeping a minimum number of other positions and not waiting? Why did Voofox insist on building a "founding team"?

My answer may have been long ago. Recently thought about, I think with "tail" three words to describe, to the appropriate.

"The tail" is a "entrepreneur" and a "wage slave" the biggest difference. When the entrepreneur opened a coffee shop of his own, he will spend a lot of time for the city, and then the workers decorate, the whole café is built, entrepreneurs will start to touch, West Touch, began to "collect tail." There are three tables here. It is not good, we change to set four table bar, the time of opening a shop in the morning 10, well, it seems to be inconsistent with the time of the nearby office workers, tomorrow we change six o'clock in the morning open the door sell sell see? Entrepreneurs always spend a lot of time "collecting tails" after making them, sometimes " The end of the tail "time far more than all the previous sum, but also more and more sense of achievement." Entrepreneurs next to find someone, work-study, only worry about whether they have a monthly salary of 15th, and then every day there is no time to work. Today to 颳 Typhoon Wind, to work?

On the Internet, which has changed and changed for a year, the "tail-tails" is especially important! In the process of making a website, the so-called "tail" is not just the " Specifications "to all of the functions to make, and not only to complete the work, at the same time, but also the initiative to simulate how users will use this site?" Is it weird to put this button on this side? Other websites do not seem to do this? Founder Team ", everyone must write the program, everyone to design, everyone to test, see what to change what; although we become the regular army to" division of labor "to win, but" tail "still can not be less to meet the changing needs of the site.

You would say, why do you have to leave the "tail" to do it later? Can't you just make the overall rules before? I want you to know, "do own website product" and "Take the website case" the difference. Taiwan has too many companies are in the Web site case, for them, the most important thing is to give the customer the things to do well, do well is equal to finished. But the site is to be successful, not to be completed, such as when the specification is out in the middle of the year, several new sites have appeared in the past few months, they are red, we see a few interesting elements, we can learn; The most important thing is, after the station, hit the sweet spot, the flow of a large increase, the host how to increase the increase is not enough, the site must be changed again to meet the user's most basic use needs. At this time we will enter a "no specifications, no documents" period, see on the repair, at any time adjustment. I admire that. FUNP push Wang, their website from the open station to now, after obvious step-by-step correction and progress, the user also followed more and more, the obvious behind the push Wang is a "everyone knows how to accept the tail" team members, regardless of technology, the use of the process, version of the continuous revision, rather than "finish on the rest", "It's all right."

Recently heard several entrepreneurs to find outsourcing companies to do websites, and some find India to go, not carefully looking for, in the "tail" part of the doing is quite bad. Entrepreneurs spend a lot of time in writing bugs, one issue, 200 bugs to engineers, engineers slow five ~ six every day, and then the entrepreneur daily test and found more than seven ~ eight, repair speed unexpectedly than the speed of discovery, a bug and another bug. At this time the entrepreneur must have a sense of powerlessness, very want to ask each other: "You give me the finished product, do not own" pick up "? At this time, the entrepreneur may want to add a button here, add an undertone over there, but see the bug has not been repaired, had to drop! However, after the first edition, there is a second edition to Do, the second edition of entrepreneurs want to change this place, change that, but the entrepreneur turned around, The first edition, which is expected to be completed in three months, has dragged on for a year to complete. Entrepreneurs as long as the thought of another year to launch the second edition, calculate their head on the white hair, thinking, his mother forget! The dream of the internet said to break up, the original hit the money are all wasted. As a result, we see the endless growth of outsourcing companies, entrepreneurs, but never get the product of his mind.

The atmosphere cannot be changed overnight. At that time, Voofox's levy strategy was to find a group of "potential stocks" of "years of work experience, but not satisfied with the job", so it took a lot of time to form the Voofox team today. The team get along well, we also from the network cause a little ignorant, to now have seen several websites and foreign things, after all is the Taiwan network of the building. My colleagues are OK, only in the "progress" there are extremely stringent requirements, the most important plateau, is to reserve the time "tail".

including myself in that year, will let the website technical Master "from the heart excited" the achievement source, comes from the technical breakthrough, to this "the tail" the trivial matter, completely has no interest. This is normal. But, "the tail", is a founder team can continue to turn in the network, success, hit the final key to win the bid. Therefore, we are not easy to levy, the shortage of human resources, the situation is still very high on their own, the efforts to do, set the completion of the moment, is certain to be completed, we know that they are not good enough, we need a lot of time to "collect the tail."

Good also want better, Voofox has still a ~ two technical job shortage, Ning lacks not rotten plateau then, cannot find the suitable person, temporarily does not make a by-election. However, the Chinese New Year is coming, the technical experts now have the meaning of the move, welcome to join us this "small family." Why is Voofox worth considering?

One, can do their own project: Do you have some entrepreneurial ideas in mind, want to find time to achieve in the amateur, but due to the day to work, can not be assured to do? Or have you been a Soho for a long time, getting bored and hoping to do some cool projects that you really want to do in your heart? Perhaps the entrepreneurial ideas in your mind, and our current regulations, Not a lot of difference. We can allow you to work alone and plan independently, with international designers working with outsourced vendors. Basically, except Microsoft. NET, any programming language is welcome, you can write PHP, Java, and even Ruby on Rails, we are fully supporting you.

Second, the Office time elasticity: Do not clock out, no matter what time you come, the time to go, along with the continuation of the parent company system, the first year there are more than 8th pay leave, fully adopt the responsibility system. The only requirement is that "progress" must be in line with company regulations.

Third: Stock options: The company has a certain number of employee equity, in a similar manner, in the form of a future day, in accordance with their own wishes to identify shares. But there is no other, so you have the opportunity to enjoy the financial return of entrepreneurs, with the company grow.
