Here's this article is the article I sent in the first phase of "programmer". In fact, in October last year, in order to practice the pen, a little personally thinks. Don't be true.
This is not the software industry you imagined.
Wang Wei Gang, October 2004

At 6:30 in Beijing, Zhao Ai, who is bought from the canteen, and stands up and shouted at the girl's building: "Down to eat!" Send it up! "Patting downstairs and said:" The building is early today, and you will be at the door. You will go well, I will have to go up to the top of the top 8:00 am. 00, Personnel Manager Qian Yi is incorporated in the conference call in the company. On the end of the phone, the technical director is not uncommon. "Old money, in the morning of the batch of interviews, in addition to the transcript, the boy is all, put in the Software R & D department, Girls look at it. "Beijing time at 12:45, the software engineer Sun Western is full of dust from the back of the Cabinet of the Tax Administration, and said to the project manager:" I still eat the box in the afternoon. In the customer here, 咱How did this white-collar mixed into a gray collar? "The project manager said with his fingers to say:" Hey - the little bit, "Be careful to be heard by the customer." Beijing time 15:30 in the afternoon, the product manager Li Dingxiao The Podget of the ERP project bidding site, standing in front of the PowerPoint slide in front of a blue background. The leadership of the client said to the left: "This birman is doing technology, the tie is wrong." Head of the left: "This company did not look at the air, the label is a domestic notebook." Beijing time at night 23:50, the deputy general manager Zhou Then and the president of "Search God" were surrounded by the bath towel in the sauna. Zhou Ten said: "Look at the parties that I will make you two horses, you will don't submit it, and give me a lot of work to me." The opposite Chen Yu is half-sorrow, picking up the chess and say; "Will! I am smelling this chess. I will not be smelling. I have to come in the programmer, I have to come in, I am afraid it will wait until next year." In these few situations Do you see the software industry? Have you heard the software industry? Do you feel the software industry? The software industry is ubiquitous, the software industry has no invisible, and the software industry is both passing through the intersection, and people are invisible.

A movie screenwriter usually does not associate with the script in the entire entertainment industry, but a production person will regard the excellent script ideas as funding, directive color, actor selection, movie, market promotion, benefit The source of related industrial links such as sharing. The software industry is the same, because from the operation mechanism of the entire industry, regardless of how many parasitic, borrow, adhesive value chain, the promotion of industrial development is always the result of the programmer's hard work. - Software code. However, from the opposite perspective, if the programmer only limits the field of view within the scope of the program, code, platform or components, and we will fall into the dilemma of the authorities, never Separate the whole picture of the software industry.
-----------------------------------
Economists often say that numbers are the most objective and most effective reference system reflecting the situation of industrial conditions. I am not an economist, nor is it a proficiency of probability. Although I am like other programmers, the basic properties of the digital performance (such as a scientific count method), storage location (such as a stack), the reference method (such as indirect address), the reference mode, but for the report Various statistics, I still have cautious skeptics. "In the fourth quarter of this year, the city's economic operation continued to improve ... ××× Software Park creates output value × × 100 million yuan, year-on-year increase × ×. ××%; in ××× home software company, there is ××× × Home realizes the size of assets and taxes to double; this quarter software import and export reached × × 100 million yuan; software gardens absorbed the senior talents of returning to the country to count ×××× bending ... "" in IT bubbles in IT bubbles in global IT bubbles, software Under the background of the industry, the mainland software industry has sprung up, and three consecutive years have created × ×. X% high growth rate, software industry scales broke through ×× million US dollars, the software industry has become promoted ... "in ordinary Of the programmer, no one can deny, but it also does not have anyone who can confirm the objectivity of the above numbers. If you must use the number to explain the problem, I will be willing to use the following group and programmer's interest-related number: in a software company around 60 people, one monthly income of 6,000 Java programmers 2003 to the customer site 7 times in business trip, a total of 251 days, during the business trip, overtocs to 22:00 in more than 60% of the working day, and no normal rest in the 45% legal holiday. The programmer can obtain a 60-yuan food subsidy daily during the business trip, a monthly 300 yuan communication fee reimbursement volume, and overtime salary that meets the labor law. - Are these numbers and software industry? Not related to? Perhaps this is only a statistical number for programmers, but is the software industry not supported by many different types of individuals? Two university computer system retired teachers from 9:00 am to 16:00 pm, "carefully" inside and tested the five e-commerce software platforms independently developed by a software company in 7 hours, and the company's president The manager invited, went to the hotel with a "work meal" worth 670 yuan. Two weeks later, the company received a high-tech enterprise and software enterprise qualification certificate issued by the XX High-tech Development Zone, and thus obtained the value-added tax reduction × ×% in three years, income tax reduction × ×% preferential conditions. - After such procedures, the company also wanted to become one of the statistical objects of economists assessing the scale of domestic software industry. The programmer of the programmer of Dalian's software company average weekly workload is: reading the software specifications written in Japanese, strictly prepared 2170 line COBOL language code and 940 line C language code, test companion writing in accordance with the requirements of the specification. 5 software features and 14 interface forms, 5 copies of the Timetime Daily. - Small G's work is part of Dalian's common on the day software outsourcing project, the value of these work and its creation constitutes one of the main body of domestic software export business. A foreign investment background has been committed to the company's decision to decide on the end of 2003, and transferred its 72% of marketing resources and 53% of R & D resources to the development and sales of service software. And further recruit 40 technical support and business consultants to customize software solutions for customers' specific business needs. - Observe the changes in the internal resource structure of the company, which is an effective means of understanding the dynamics and industrial laws. Do you need to list other numbers? I think everyone can use similar methods to list the numbers related to the software industry, and to investigate the square of the software industry. -----------------------------------
If you think the software industry in mainland China is like some mainstream media reported, if you believe that the size of the mainland software industry will soon be like mobile or PC manufacturing, then, I can I don't hesitate to tell you, this is not the software industry you imagined. If you feel that the software industry is the heaven of technical enthusiasts, and I hope to find an ideal, pure "technology and technology" work, if you want to stay in your life, algorithm, method, model, model, then I can tell you without hesitation, this is not the software industry you imagined. Conversely, if you have completely lost confidence in the mainland's software industry, if you think that the software industry is full of "transactions", "power", "scam", "fraud", "perfunctory", or, or if you I firmly believe that only by speculating and drilling can make profits in the software industry, then I can tell you without hesitation, this is not the software industry you imagined. -----------------------------------
This is a contradictory software industry. This is a "Besieged City" that all programmers cannot be placed. On the one hand, there are countless physical and mentally exhausted "City people" everybody crying the sorrow and misfortune, but every morning, they will always appear in front of the computer screen, for personal or family livelihoods, for Silk interest and passion in your heart, continue to write the program code that has not ended. On the other hand, more than the "City of the City" poured into the city in large numbers, but it seems that he has never considered it to have enough confidence and courage. On the one hand, there are countless multinational software companies, and then the three places announced to the public that the world's largest potential software market in mainland China, the world's most developed software industry in mainland China. On the other hand, many old brand multinational companies have long established in China, have not been profitable in pure software, and more foreign software companies are cautious to quit after the Chinese software market environment. On the one hand, software companies continue to use the highest voice to the public: To buy genuine products! Suppose domestic software! On the other hand, a considerable number of software companies have installed the unlailized authorized Visual Studio or JBuilder in their own development environment. On the one hand, more and more new human beings fight "freedom" or "open source" banner, against all proprietary, exclusive software behavior. On the other hand, most "freedom" or "open source" software people still have to launch cards in companies that produce proprietary software, for the salary and year-end bonus, and struggle for the salary and year-end bonus. On the one hand, countless newly established Software Academy has expired in the context of university expansion, and the talent market is greater than seeking, and the "blue collar" is still continuously supplied to the society "blue collar". On the other hand, more human resources managers and technical director often complain: the programs that will be stronger, and the programmers who have been playing will be more difficult, recruiting a potential, talented, innovative spirit, is really difficult to add difficult. ... Whenever I talk about some of the phenomenon or a trend in the software industry, we can almost easily find a conclusive antique example to refute it. The world is complicated. If you must be like a child to identify "good people", "bad people", give the mainland software industry a simple, clear definition, then, how long, you will pay for your own straps and arms. .

A friend said that the software industry in mainland China is a "middleware" that is not buckled. What he means is that the software industry is not originated from China, and the mainland software industry has never occupied any publicity in the global industry in 200 years; when the software industry is once again When the technical wave patron, the software industry in mainland China always keeps his own "moderate", hiding in the middle, hesitating. The PC era, when Apple's artist and Microsoft's practice home turns the desktop application into reality, the mainland China's software industry hides in the gap of law and technology, brewing and manufacturing a far-reaching "pirated culture." On the Internet, when Yahoo, Amazon and other giants have experienced the economic bubbles of the big sadness and step by step, the software industry in mainland China hides in the middle of the e-commerce and industry software, in addition to manufacturing a few minimal and most vulnerable Outside the bubble, there is no such a few vibrating sounds in technology or business. In the era, when Koreans turned online games into new currency trees, the software industry in mainland China hid in the middle of teen moral education and domestic game research and development, and made a "Ha Han" in the game player. On the open source era, when IBM provides powerful support for the identity of the old company, the software industry in mainland China hid in the middle of commercial interests and hackers, and unintentionally gave birth to "pseudo-hackers" who were willing to destroy open source rules. In the era of outsourcing, when the Indian seized the global software outsourcing high, the software industry in mainland China hid in the middle of knowledge-intensive industries and labor-intensive industries, both of them lost countless core competitiveness. Opportunity, there is no benefit of how many outsourcing services. ... is right, middleware! Perhaps this is the original appearance of the mainland software industry! Middleware, have you seen it? At the point of the programmer's fingertips, in front of the project manager, on the desktop of the technical director, in the resume of college graduates, middleware is everywhere! -----------------------------------
This is a software industry that is empty and incompatible. This is a software industry that disappoints and hopes. Some people say that this is a software industry that lacks the bottom gas and cohesiveness; but it is not necessarily a bad thing from another level. For example, in "Laozi" said: With the place in the car, there is a car's role; there is a place in the vessel, there is a vessel's role; there is a place in the four walls of the door and window, only the role of the house Therefore, "there is" convenient, "no" played its role 2. The software industry in mainland China is in the "there is" and "no" glue, in repeated, in the view of philosophers, this "hollow" state is most easily released, and it is most likely to gain a miracle. That is, the software industry in mainland China has not reached stable and clear state, as well as huge development space and unlimited business opportunities waiting for us to find, to grasp - of course, this premise is that we don't It will have too much deviation in the target or method, because the software industry in the "hollow" phase is also likely to slide into the blood and blood, and the absence of a loss.
-----------------------------------
We look forward to the truly rise of the Chinese software industry. But we also know clearly that in front of the industry, the power of individuals is negligible. Perhaps, for programmers, it is possible to fully understand the environment you are in, and always maintain optimism and firm in front of a challenge, which is already the greatest happiness. 1 This sentence is from a famous IT company's slogan. 2 This sentence is "Laozi" Chapter 11 of the vanacular translation, from Chen Guo, should be "Laozi's Instructions and Review", Zhonghua Book Company, 1984.
