When it comes to software development, people will think of Microsoft. There is often a friend asking me, what is the secret of Microsoft's success, how can I make the software into thousands of households. In fact, this kind of issue has been completely elaborated and somewhat earnestly thirty years; and even if it experiences such a long period of technological innovation, these discuss still have a very reference value and inspiration. The problem is the author of this series of books - Dear Mr. Winberg. Mr. Winberge is the authority and representative of software management and software engineering from individual psychology, organizational behavior and corporate cultural perspective. He has multiple identities of programmers, system designers, consultants and professional writers. Winberge believes that software's task is to solve a particular problem, and software developers' tasks need to solve a series of issues. He claims to be "Thinkman" (Thinker, not the "thinker" defined by him), while the conclusions and methods of thinking through words are passed through text to million readers. Winberg is still a trunk, he created school, training base, presided over university, seminar, giving a generation of software workers with "fresh air." Winberge's favorite sentence is a Chinese traditional proverb: the wise man is awkward, there must be a loss; the fool is a thousand, there must be a good. Thinking is the biggest weakness of self-acting and smart, and is also the greatest wealth of success. Winberg said that we cannot ask everyone to be unusual and able to solve all puzzles; but we must continue to think, because only this, we can understand what you are doing. "What is it doing is what is doing, is a necessary condition for success. Those who can understand or understand natural development, social development, human development, industry development, and software development in a long time, although there is less than one in this world, but They are the wise people of the times, as long as they are willing to do, they can succeed quickly. They have very sensitive smells and insights, and they can grasp the software needs of the next few years, thus the design of application solutions, and the construction of avant-garde experience concept. Or, they can grasp the direction in the industry, technically breakthrough, especially in some unusually discovered areas. They belong to the leaders of the era or industry, half of its success is genius, half is diligent. There are also some people, they are not very keen on trends, but their biggest advantage is that they can move forward on the basis of experience. Their success of 90% came from learning and diligent practice. They are the backbone of the times and the industry. It is the founder of the facts, of course, is also the industry builders. They can clearly know that their own advantages and disadvantages, according to the current situation of the times and the industry, and their own experience and accumulation, for mainstream software development, production and implementation. They don't necessarily master the latest technologies, but they generally have very sufficient capital and experience, so that they maintain the position of the flow in the column is that it can correctly realize the gap or complement of their own and the outside world, thereby adjusting the strategy, and then hosted or defeated. "What is it is doing, this attitude ensures reason to maintain rationality and carefulness during software development and research. After more than ten years of practice, Mr. Winberg said: "Technology is worthless", my understanding is that if we don't know what you can give social or what you can bring, it can't find it. Those valuable technologies. The useless technical refers to what he said is just those who are so whimsical, and do not meet the actual invalid labor. Through Mr. Winberge, I can be responsible for the experience of myself in Microsoft, I can be responsible. Any successful person is a person who thinks in its field. This kind of thinking makes them gradually The correct direction is transformed; and this series of efforts in Winberg is a reminder that let us think more about a deeper level.
I believe that no matter whether you are engaged in software development, research or management, you can receive inspiration from the words of Mr. Winberge.
