These words come from the real estate industry tycoon Ren Zhiqiang. After reading the above paragraph, I wonder what all the IT coders and hard-working IT engineers think. Do they feel "not living up to the kindness", or are they angry and "too embarrassed"?
As someone who has been in the IT industry for many years and is also a career planner, this passage made me I have some new understanding of the career development of IT people. In the ever-changing industry of IT, our views on its career development yesterday will become pedantic today if we look at it today?
1. Technology requires a certain level When it comes to management ?
I believe this is one of the pieces of advice most career planning gives to IT people. In China, if you are purely technical, you will quickly hit the ceiling and your career development will stagnate. Therefore, the advice is that whether you are doing project management or participating in market management, technical engineers and ITprogrammers must work hard to practice the skills of dealing with people, coordination, communication and even all-around skills. The reason for this advice is that software engineering cannot be completed by one or two people. A large software system will inevitably involve dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people. At that time, how can the value of a programmer be compared with the value of a manager?
However, the world full of Internet seems to be abandoning this view. The best company in social networks "must die"1 billionUSD acquired Instagram which was only more than 500 days old and has become a new wealth legend in the IT world, and this company is famous for its development The photo sharing technology company has only 13 people. Even earlier, the company omgpop, which was acquired by the gaming giant zygna for US$2.3 billion for the game "Draw Me Guess", had a development team of only 5 people. If you still think that making any high-value software often requires a team of dozens or hundreds of people, I will give you another case from my personal experience. Recently, I had the honor to attend a gathering of mobile Internet entrepreneurial teams. I found that all teams working on Internet and mobile Internet projects would not have more than 5 people on one project, and many of them were three-person teams( One person does the UIdesign, one person does the coding, and one person does the architecture), and their cycle to develop a software generally does not exceed three months!
In those large state-owned enterprises It would be impossible for three people to develop an app in three months even if they work hard. They must have a team of dozens of people, with a cycle of at least half a year, a lot of project managers and a department manager.
Have we seen the source of the problem?
Is the transfer of technology to management determined by the industry characteristics of
IT, the corporate characteristics of large state-owned enterprises, or the content developed by IT?
Therefore , if you really like development, enjoy the process of developing a function in two weeks, an application in three months, and are willing to see the code become a product, and the product becomes perfect little by little, then you might as well devote yourself to technology. Your sense of code and architecture is unsurpassed by others and will bring you wealth and achievement.
2.
In the IT industry, it is very promising to be a product manager?
The position of product manager has become very popular in the past two years. I can always hear this view: "If If you don’t like development or sales, you can become a product manager.
360Boss Zhou Hongyi and Tencent boss Ma Huateng are product managers. “Moreover, two or three years ago, many large companies still didn’t offer product managers the same price. Normally high. This has caused many IT people to have the title of “Product Manager” printed on their business cards. (Secretly, I am also a small product manager)However, just like the embarrassment encountered by many group buying websites after the emergence of 4000 in half a year, the position of product manager has gradually become embarrassing recently. Due to the large-scale recruitment of product managers by IT companies, the actual level of personnel in this position varies. Many of the title who pretend to be product managers are nothing more than product assistants at best.
Technical developers believe that product managers’ demands for products often do not consider the difficulty of the technical architecture, but require technicians to make major changes directly at the core level for a small demand. In the eyes of developers, this kind of action is like knocking off the load-bearing wall in order to improve the feng shui of the bathroom. When faced with such a product manager, they will say three words: "You don't understand." The people in charge of marketing also believe that product managers do not understand real customers. They believe that product managers are perfectionists brainwashed by Steve Jobs. They really think they can make products that are "love-crazy", but they do not know that the tastes of real customers are different. Not necessarily so obsessed with details. In the hearts of marketers, when facing product managers, they also have three words: "You don't understand."
When you become a product manager, you are not only responsible for the product, but you also have to learn some language, understand some marketing, and be able to play scrum...that old Luo who talks about cross talk is learning Andriod !
Anyway, in the final analysis is our core competitiveness, not the title of product manager. Regardless of whether we are product managers or not, the value you bring to the company is your gold content. How to measure this value?Then imagine how much the entire product, development, and market would be affected without your responsibilities and work. This determines your value.
3. You can learn well only by following the direction of your heartIT?
This seems a bit like Brother Kaifu’s Chicken Soup for the Soul. We always look for the inner direction and then invest, which makes it look like a dream. Facing countless entrepreneurial possibilities and rapidly rising companies in the IT industry, this always gives us a call-of-duty complex.
However, there is still a small doubt here. When we learn to speak our mother tongue, do we follow the direction of our hearts??When we learn English, do we follow the direction of our hearts? ?...I mean, I have to admit that the IT
industry has penetrated into every aspect of our lives, it is just like the Mandarin and English we speak every day, and the word , PPT as usual. If you learn about a website called Khan Academy through the wall, you will believe that in five years, most of our education will be completely possible online. By then, I will be able to write some code, and building a website may be as basic and common as my current ability to do four arithmetic operations and basic English reading and writing. So, whether you follow your heart or not, get in touch with the IT
industry and learn something interesting about it. In the eyes of an old bird, the development direction of "IT
migrant workers", Some things about the InternetThe following is a message from an undergraduate:
As a local book Students are still competing with college students for jobs with a low starting point, but they are still unpopular - undergraduates cannot be retained, and undergraduates are not as hardworking as college students... In short, undergraduates are not suitable for our recruitment requirements;
I am not afraid of being asked every time why you "married" to our company. What I am afraid of is that after being rejected without explanation countless times, the cycle will be endless;
asking the vast world who is playing tricks on me , after four years of constantly looking for a job to no avail, reality pushed me to the edge of "entrepreneurship". The freak-the government that did not provide any guidance and guidance before starting a business just left us to fend for ourselves, or to fend for ourselves. After self-destruction, if you can achieve some results, you can also prove to society the benefits of encouraging entrepreneurship and the superiority of the system.
I have no choice but to ask the next or future HR
to just use me as a high school student. An undergraduate degree is just an academic degree, nothing more. The word "migrant worker" is very appropriate to describe it!
