043 Don't reinvent the wheel

There are thousands of employees in the Penguin building in Rongdu, only about half of whom are regular Penguin employees, and the other half are outsourced, that is, short-term workers, who can settle the bill and leave after the project is completed. However, these outsourcing are basically jobs such as art and dubbing. Planners and programmers, on the other hand, are almost all regular employees.

The reason is very simple, horror games and gunfight games require completely different painting styles, dubbing styles are very different, and it is too much of a waste of company funds to always raise talents who are only good at one style at a high price, so high-priced short-term contracts are the most rational choice, and both parties can accept them. Programmers belong to the core type of work, and high-level people can adapt to different kinds of games, and even projects outside the game can be mixed, so they can naturally be raised for a long time and always have a job.

Therefore, Feng Hao was of course puzzled why his boss insisted on hiring an outside programmer. When the visitor arrived, he was confused, a freshman, almost ten years younger than the backbone members of the project team, what could such a little kid do?

When explaining the idea of setting up the project pipeline to Wang Heng, Feng Hao secretly slandered like this. Although the colleagues next to him did not speak, the glances that came from time to time showed that they were also ready to watch the excitement.

After talking about it in professional terms, Feng Hao concluded: "Our thinking is almost like this, Sister Lu also said that she wants you not to see outside, and if you have any opinions, you can mention them." How's that, got an idea now? ”

Wang Heng nodded: "Yes." ”

Feng Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and said a little funny: "You really have it?" Okay, what do you think, let's talk about it. ”

Wang Heng: "Do you know a sentence called don't reinvent the wheel......

Before the words fell, Feng Hao laughed: "Who doesn't know this!" ”

Don't reinvent the wheel, it's a well-known adage in the IT world. It means that you don't have to go through the path of others again, or even try to replace someone else's position. As long as other people's wheels are effective, then it is okay to use other people's results.

Wang Heng explained: "One of the R&D schedules you just mentioned is that people have produced almost identical results. People's achievements are open source, so we don't need to do it all over again, right? ”

Feng Hao scoffed: "Let me tell you, when we made this agenda, we looked at all the R&D tools on the market, and there was absolutely no such thing as reinventing the wheel!" ”

Seeing that the other party really didn't believe it, Wang Heng could only click on github to show him.

GitHub is a well-known code hosting platform. Programmers from all over the world can put their work on it for everyone's reference and discussion.

In less than a minute, Wang Heng found a free and open source project.

"Well, look at this."

Feng Hao stared at the screen, glanced at the project introduction, and was stunned for a moment.

This seems to be something they are about to do...... No difference?

Feng Hao became nervous, snatched the mouse, and flipped down with the scroll wheel. That line of code made him ponder for a long time.

After a long time, he finally determined that it was exactly the same, at least the idea of this large piece of code was exactly the same as what their project team was going to do.

"But what about this code running?"

Feng Hao was just talking to himself, but Wang Heng reminded: "You can copy it and try it." ”

The open source code on the GitHub platform can be copied directly without a penny of cost. And the most convincing way to judge whether any piece of code actually works is to let it run and try it.

So Feng Hao immediately copied and pasted the code of this project and ran it.

"Yes...... Already so mature? But how could it be! ”

Seeing that the senior's face stiffened, Wang Heng kindly reminded: "This project started more than two months ago, and the last piece of code was posted last week. Perhaps, you did look at all the R&D tools on the market and just forgot to update them? ”

Feng Hao's expression softened a little: "It should be like this......"

Wang Heng sat down at his workstation for the time being, clicked on the mind map posted by Lu Qi in the group, and thought silently.

Feng Hao sat on the side, peeking at him from time to time, and there was still some inexplicable shock in his eyes - although the code just now was not written by Wang Heng himself, but he was able to quickly find the most useful one among the vast projects on the github platform, which reflected the skill, Feng Hao was already hard to imagine.

A freshman, an eighteen-year-old boy, has such a level, and the future is really unlimited!

Of course, Feng Hao couldn't have guessed that the reason why Wang Heng was so clear about this wheel was actually mainly because of his memory for seven more years. There are many more wheels that will be created in those memories that have not yet appeared......

Wang Heng looked at the R&D requirements of those projects and found that several of them were very suitable for him. In other words, it's perfect for him to take shortcuts.

Just as he was thinking silently, Wang Heng's mobile phone rang.

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to mute his phone, so he quickly pressed the ringtone and walked quickly to the pantry.

The pantry in the office is usually devoid of people during working hours. Finding that there was indeed only himself here, Wang Heng answered the call.

From the other end of the phone, there was a playful voice of a girl: "Agent, where are you?" ”

"That's a strange title...... Wang Heng said helplessly, "And didn't I tell you that I'm going to the Penguin Building today?" ”

Pei Ningle: "I know, I just asked you which floor of the Penguin Building you are?" ”

Wang Heng: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Pei Ningle: "Because I'm already downstairs." ”

Hearing this, Wang Heng was startled. He hurriedly opened the curtains and looked down, and sure enough, at the main entrance of the building, there was really a familiar figure of a girl. Although the perspective from a high place is relatively unfamiliar, he can still recognize it, it is Pei Ningle.

"What are you doing here!"

Maybe it was because Wang Heng's tone was a little irritable, and there was a hint of hesitation in the girl's voice: "Because of the room in the hotel, the time to book is up, I originally wanted to renew, but the money is not enough...... And you said, you want to help me find a rental house. ”

"When did I say I'm going to help you find a rental?"

Wang Heng remembered that what he said was to let her find a place to settle by herself.

The girl asked weakly, "But you are an agent, shouldn't the agent help in this kind of thing?" ”

Wang Heng covered his forehead and sighed, "Okay, I understand......"
