Zhou Fangyuan and Yu Ban chatted about each other's work.

To put it bluntly, Yu Ban is an ordinary IT industry practitioner, although he is very good, but after all, he is too young, he has just graduated, and his experience is really insufficient.

But how to say it, Yu Ban is not bad now, he is already the leader of the programming team, and he is already considered a manager, although it is a very low-level management.

In fact, in the past few years of the 21st century, the entire IT industry is still relatively high-level, and it sounds good to say, and it feels more bullish. Unlike the years before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, the word "IT" has long since retired from the altar, and even the practitioners are jokingly called "program apes" and "siege lions", which is full of ridicule.

If it is said that the IT industry was originally high because outsiders did not know much about this industry, then the reason for stepping down from the altar is because there are more and more employees and everyone gradually understands this industry.

It's not that the industry is bad, it's not that the practitioners aren't good enough, and it's not that the job is not good, in fact, it's still okay for the IT industry, practitioners, and the work of the entire industry. It's a pity that there are so many shortcomings, which are unacceptable to a large part of them.

First of all, it is absolutely busy, no matter what position you are in the IT circle, you have never seen someone who is not busy. Not only technology, sales, and programming, but also the administration and personnel of IT companies are all busy. This kind of busyness does not distinguish between day and night, on weekdays and holidays, between boys and girls, and between blacks and whites. From the moment I woke up, it was like clockwork, so busy that I didn't have time to eat, drink, go to the toilet, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to accompany my girlfriend, husband, parents and children, believe me, this is the absolute norm.

Since they are so busy, tiredness is inevitable, and the most cruel overtime includes entering the customer room in the middle of the night every day to debug the equipment for a week, and also including 72 hours of continuous sleep for technical bidding, and the coffee cups are piled up. I was so tired that I could accurately feel the position of my various organs, and my heart was beating as if it wasn't my own.

It's busy and tiring, and at the same time, you have to keep learning. Let's put it this way, IT is probably the fastest updated industry among all industries, and it's no exaggeration to say that you have to learn every day to be able to work. The program ape should learn various languages and development methods, and the product personnel should learn the various characteristics of the company's new products, memorize various parameters, and also grasp the market trends and the products of friends. In addition to the product, you also need to understand the industry you are responsible for, what customers are using, what their needs are, and so on. In a word, in IT, if you don't read for a day, your IQ becomes a pig!

Of course, in order to make money, everyone can endure it, but the most depressing thing is the various attitudes that laymen seem to understand.

The first is that you are often approached to fix your computer.

In the eyes of computer novices, as long as you are in the IT industry, you are equivalent to a god-level person who repairs computers. As a result, there are often all kinds of sisters, sisters, uncles and aunts who come to ask you to repair the computer for free. And the truth of the facts, you know me, I know, God knows......

In addition, there is also the mistaken "sullen", and everyone often has a consensus about programmers, sullen. Programmers are often thought of as dumbfounded, with a vegetable-covered face, shiny hair, unkempt, and extremely sullen. Just look at this joke circulating on the Internet, programmers have three treasures: sullen, overtime, and repairing computers.

Finally, and most frighteningly, practitioners in the IT industry, especially programmers, are at risk of sudden death at any time. IT is hectic and tiring, and more importantly, your life is at risk. In the years when Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, there were more and more reports about sudden death, especially in the IT circle.

It has become a consensus that IT people are prone to sudden death.

If it's just ordinary busyness and tiredness, it's more than that, but who makes the IT industry different?

The most common phenomenon of IT is that it often works overtime, especially before the product is launched, which means that you have to work overtime until you vomit at every turn!

Most programmed apes often stay up late, probably because they often stay up late and work overtime to form a fixed biological clock, resulting in sleeping late when they don't work overtime.

Basically all smoke, the program ape work pressure, go to the rooftop to smoke a cigarette during work hours has become the most common way to relax, the program ape basically smokes, the older program ape, basically old smokers.

Everyone knows that smoking hurts the lungs, and in addition, the program ape sits in front of the computer for a long time without moving, and the result is a big belly and love to get sick. Because they sit in front of the computer every day to type code, and often work overtime, many program apes have a big belly, stay up late, smoke, and also cause program apes to get sick easily, and often take injections and medicines.

In this case, if you don't die suddenly, who dies suddenly?

It's not cursing anyone, on the contrary, it's actually an indictment of the horrific pressure of the industry.

And when the program ape there are other inconveniences.

For example, most programmers don't have girlfriends.

The program ape types code on the computer every day, how can he have time to fall in love. What's more, there are very few female apes, which makes them even less likely to have access to women.

Of course, this statement is a little stereotyped and prejudiced, in fact, this thing is also divided into people, finding a partner and getting married, the material foundation is very important, and personal emotional intelligence is also very important, if it is really a person who can't even speak, and can talk to death as soon as he chats, of course, it will be very difficult to find a partner to marry. The biggest problem in this regard is that the programmer ape is often bored at work, and has little time to participate in various activities, and over time, even people who originally liked to talk will become bored.

And if you don't communicate often, your communication skills will really decline.

So it's normal to not find an object, and the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to find it.

In addition, in the hearts of many people, the label on the program ape is that he doesn't like to wash his hair, doesn't like sports, and is an otaku.

There is this impression, mainly because the programmer apes are usually busy with work and rarely have the opportunity to contact women, resulting in many programmer apes being more informal, and they also like to stay at home to play games or watch ball games in their spare time, and they are more tired from work, so they rarely do sports. However, this situation is actually divided into people, I believe that most people still love to be clean, at most they don't pay much attention to dressing. Of course, there are people who don't like cleanliness, but not all of them are programmers.

But unfortunately, whether you can't find a girlfriend or your personal hygiene is not good, it has become the inherent impression of many people about the program ape.

Even if this is not the case, as long as others hear that you are a programmed ape, then your image in the other person's mind is basically gone.

However, there are so many bad things, why are there still many people who continue to invest in this industry?

Quite simply, the future!

Counting the time before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, IT has only developed in China for nearly 30 years, but it has been a turbulent and heroic 30 years, and it is undeniable that many geniuses and rich people have been born among IT people in China.

Not only laymen, but even novices who have just entered the industry look up to and envy the IT industry. In the face of this nascent and fast-growing industry that is rapidly encompassing all aspects of everyone's life, many people are curious and amazed, envious and yearning.

When a layman looks at the IT industry, there are several obvious characteristics.

High-paying, young, profound, magical, workaholic......

Despite the above difficulties of IT people, many people still flock to the IT workplace every year to pan for gold, and veterans who have been in IT for many years rarely change careers. Since this is the case, there are definitely a lot of things that people will not want to return to in the IT industry.

The first is the gaze of outsiders.

Many laymen generally think that people engaged in software development have very good brains, which makes many developers listen, even if the work is very hard and stressful, they still feel that it is worth it.

It is true that the sudden death of some IT company employees has also made the outside world awe the extent of the industry's death, but the popular profession of IT still surprises everyone with its awesome IQ labor and cutting-edge technological means. Tired is tired, but IT people eat food made by IQ, fragrant!

Secondly, a high sense of achievement.

It must be very gratifying to use your own ingenuity to make money, and besides, it is still engaged in high-tech that many people can't understand. As an IT person, looking at all kinds of IT products that have broken into people's lives, the kind of complacent that knows the inside story is difficult to compare with other things. Imagine if you were a developer of the backend system of Taofeng.com, and you would be proud to see others buying things on Taofeng. Because you know the ins and outs of this platform for buying and selling things, you know the whole business process, and you even know some bugs or tricks that others don't know. At this time, watching him operate step by step on the computer according to the rules you set, the snickering joy in my heart is self-evident.

Even if few people understand the mystery of this, because in their eyes it is just four ways to write "fennel bean", but as an IT person, it is wonderful to feel that the truth is in the hands of a few.

Third, the IT profession is a high-paying occupation and a scarce occupation in the society, even at the time before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, IT practitioners are still high-paying representatives.

And as an emerging and large-scale industry, there are really too many jobs to provide, and there are more and more postures.

For example, the most common software categories include system analysts, computer programmers, software testers, software project managers, system architects, and other positions. In terms of hardware, computer maintenance workers and hardware engineers are also very good jobs. There are positions such as computer network administrator, computer system designer, network integrated wiring, network construction engineer, network operation and maintenance engineer, network security engineer and so on.

There are computer operators, information system security engineers, information system managers, database system administrators, information system supervisors, information system evaluators, information resource development and management personnel, information system designers and other positions. Manufacturing includes semiconductor device testing workers, semiconductor device manufacturing technicians, semiconductor device manufacturing workers, semiconductor device manufacturing workers, semiconductor device support workers, semiconductor device packaging workers, etc.

Of course, the last few may not feel as high as the ones above, but in fact, most of these positions have very high salaries, and the average level is far higher than that of the average traditional industry.

And as IT continues to grow and segment, there are more and more application occupations.

The control category includes single-chip microcomputer application designers, control system designers, logic control chip editors, and automatic data acquisition and analysts. Application system development includes embedded system developers, website developers, game program developers, and radio frequency identification system developers. The design category has a computer graphic designer

In the business category, there are network editors, network marketers, network promotion, and media placement specialists. In the entertainment category, there are digital video producers, digital audio producers, 3D animation producers, and game art designers. In the education category, there are online courseware makers, computer lecturers, etc.

These can no longer be regarded as the IT industry, but with the continuous development of the Internet and the emergence of the concept of Internet +, more and more industries have begun to be linked to the Internet, and they also need various related positions to provide technical support, and the salary level is also very high.

Therefore, suffering must be bitter, tiredness must be tired, the risk of sudden death is indeed relatively large, and the harm to the body is indeed there, but the most important point is to make more money, which smooths out many difficulties.

And the sense of accomplishment is indeed there, the more the general public does not understand the industry, the stronger the sense of achievement of the practitioners.

Taking IT as an example, everyone can play with computers, but how many people really understand computers? Don't look at the billions of Internet users around the world, only about 1 in 10,000 can really talk about understanding computers. Among the 10,000 netizens, only one person really understands computers, systems, and technology, so what kind of mentality will he have when he looks at the other 9,999 people?

Yu Ban embarked on the road of the IT industry, and Zhou Fangyuan can actually understand it.

First of all, the conditions of Yu Ban's family can only be said to be average, he has studied abroad for a few years, and his family is afraid that he has not only spent all his savings, but also borrowed money outside, and the IT industry makes a lot of money, so Yu Ban must share the pressure for his family. Secondly, with the current gap between the two of them, if Yu Ban wants to catch up and surpass, there is only one possibility, and that is the IT industry. Because this industry is now an angel industry, there are countless possibilities and countless miracles continue to appear, even if you were just a poor boy with no name yesterday, tomorrow you may become an upstart in the IT industry. It's definitely not just a story, it's really possible.

In his heart, he would not be jealous of Zhou Fangyuan, but he wanted to chase Zhou Fangyuan, and he was unwilling to get bigger and bigger with the other party, so he finally chose the IT industry, and he was more or less aware of the dangers of this industry, which means that he was ready.

For this, Zhou Fangyuan can only be blessed in his heart, hoping that Yu Ban will really catch up with him one day.
