Maintenance (Mainteance)
The programmer who has mastered the road said:
"Even if there is only three long-term long, one day, it has to be maintained."
5.1
A normal door does not need to be cheering on the veneer.
A sprayed thread does not generate stagnation.
Regardless of the sound or thinking, you cannot spread in the vacuum.
Software If you don't need to rot.
Here is a great mystery.
Note: These are natural phenomena, without any mystery.
5.2
A manager asked a programmer how long it takes more time to complete the procedure he is working. "I will complete the programmer tomorrow" quickly answer.
"I think you are too uncomfortable" manager said, "What time does it take?"
The programmer thought for a while, "I have some new features, I want to add it. This will take at least two weeks." He finally said. "This is beyond my expectations", the manager insists: "I will be satisfied If you simply tell me when the program will be completed. "
The programmer agreed.
In the past few years, the manager retired. When retired lunch, he found that the programmer fell asleep on the terminal. He is programs all night.
Note: Manager does not believe in programmers, this is a general problem. Doing lines are not able to lead within the leadership.
5.3
A beginner programmer is assigned to a simple financial package code.
The beginner worked in a lot of days, but when the supervisor checked his procedure, he found that it contained an editor, a conceptual graphic set, and artificial intelligence interface, but there is no financial thing.
When the supervisor talked about it, beginners became indignant. "Don't be so patient," he said, "I will add financial things in the final."
Note: The programmer has forgot his true goal, lost in the code developed. It is like a certain technology, and forgetting technology is to serve people.
5.4
Will a good farmer ignore a crop he placed?
Will a good teacher will slightly, even the underlying students?
Will a good father will be hungry with a child?
Will a good programmer refuse to maintain his code?
Note: No. Never.
Management
The programmer who has mastered the road said:
"Let the programmer more managers - so they will be efficient"
6.1
When the manager held an endless meeting, the programmer wrote the game. When the accounting discussed the quarterly profit, the development budget would be reduced. When senior scientists talk about the blue sky, the cloud will come.
Indeed, this is not the way of programming.
When the manager makes a constraint, the programmer written by the game is ignored. When the accounting is a long-term plan, coordination and order will be recovered. When senior scientists pay attention to the problem of the hand, the problem will soon be resolved.
Indeed, this is the way of programming.
6.2
Why is programmers not efficient? Because their time was wasted at the meeting.
Why is the programmer resist? Because there are too many management interventions.
Why is the programmer give up one place? Because they are tired.
Work under poor management, they no longer respect jobs.
6.3
A manager will be fired, but a programmer for his work invented a new program, it became popular and the sales are very good. As a result, the manager has held his work.
The manager tried to give this programmaker some dividends, but the programmer refused, he said: "I wrote that process because I think it is an interesting idea, so I don't expect to repay."
The manager heard these, commented: "This programmer, even though he is in a small position, he understands the true responsibility of an employee. Let us enhance his high-level position he gave to management."
But when I talked about it, the programmer refused again, saying: "I exist, I can program it. If I have been upgraded, I can't do anything, except for the waste of others. Can I go? I have a program, I am writing it. "
Note: The real programmer is not for money, for the benefit, for the rights and programming. They don't ask for fame and fortune, so they can concentrate on programming. Everything needs to be done, otherwise it is impossible to have real achievements.
6.4
A manager to the programmer and tell them: "This will look at your working hours: You will leave at 9 o'clock in the morning." For these, all the programmers have become angry and several people must resign. .
So the manager said: "Okay, in this case you can set your own work time, as long as you follow your project according to the schedule." The programmer is now satisfied, there is noon, work until the early morning.
Note: The manager is good for programmers, providing a good work habit and living habits, the blind resistance of programmers is successful, in fact, to fall into boundless irregular life, inadvertently destroyed Your own life. Corporate Wisdom
The programmer who has mastered the road said:
"You can drop a company head to demonstrate a program, but you can't think of him like a computer."
Note: People and computers are two different things, computer particularly unique cultures, not to understand this unique culture, is often difficult to understand this unique culture.
7.1
A beginner asked the programmer: "In the East, there is a huge tree structure, people call it headquarters. It was blocked by the vice president and accounting. It issued a lot of memorandum, each written" Go, then "or" go here ", no one knows what it means. Every year, the new name is added to the branches, but all of them are useless. How can this unnatural entity exist?
The programmer who has mastered the road replied: "You find this huge structure and is troubled by it without reasonable purposes. Don't you enjoy it from its endless activities? Do you don't like it under the branch hidden? Enjoy the programming that is not disturbed? Why do you want to bother? "
Note: Everyone has something that you care about, don't care about it. It doesn't matter. It's not your problem, don't use it to bother yourself.
7.2
In the East, there is a shark, it is bigger than all other fish. It turns into a bird, its wings are full of sky. When this bird crosses land, it brings a message from headquarters.. Put this news to the middle of the programmer, like a seagull made a marker on the beach. The bird rises with the wind, the blue sky is on its back, it returns home.
The initiator programmer stared at the bird because he understood that it was not a bird. The general programmer is afraid of the arrival of the bird because he is afraid of its news. Mastering the programmer continues to work on the terminal because he does not Know the bird's coming.
7.3
The magician of the ivory tower with his latest programmer to master the programmer. The magician pushes a large black box into the office, and the programmer is waiting in the quiet.
"This is an integrated, distributed, universal workstation", magician start, "effectively designed, there is a special manner, sixth generation language, multi-state art human machine interface. It spent I have built hundreds of people in my assistant. Is it amazing? "
The programmer who has mastered the road quickly lifted his brow. "It is really amazing." He said.
"Headquarters has already ordered", the magician continued, "everyone uses this workstation as a platform for new programs. Do you agree this?"
"Of course", the programmer answers, "I will immediately transfer it to the data center!" The magician returned to the tower, very happy.
A few days later, a beginner went to the programmer's office saying "I can't find a list of my new programs, do you know that it may be there?"
"Yes", the programmer answer, "the list is stacked in the platform of the data center."
7.4
Mastering the program is transferred from a program to another without fear. No management changes can hurt him. He will not be dismissed, even when the project is canceled. Why is this? He was filled with him full.
Hardware and software (Hardware and Software)
The programmer who has mastered the road said:
No wind, grass is not moving.
No software, hardware is useless.
8.1
A beginner asked the programmer: "I found a computer company is much bigger by all the rest. It is like a competitor in its competitors, like a giant in the gnome. Any one of its branches Can contain a complete business. Why is this? "
The programmer replied, "Why do you ask such a stupid problem? The company is big because it is so big. If it only does hardware, no one will buy it. If it only maintains the system, people will like the servant. Treat it. But because it combines all of these things, people think it is one of the gods! No longer trying to struggle, it does not have to work hard. "
Note: Some things are historical formation. It is not completely explained by reality. If you look at its development history, you will get the correct explanation and conclusion. If you only consider the current situation, it will inevitably feel confused.
8.2
One day, a programmer who has mastered has encountered an initiator programmer. Master care, the beginner is playing computer games in the gods. "Sorry", he said, "Can I look at it?"
The beginners have been separated from the attention of the appointment to master the way. "I see this device claims that there are three levels of gameplay: easy, general and difficult," said the programmer. "But each such equipment has another one Layer gameplay, at that time, the equipment did not try to conquer the people, nor were they conquered. "" Excuse me, great programmers ", beginners beg," How do people find this mystery? "
The programmer fell to the ground and crushed at the feet. Sudden beginners were inspired.
Note: The various rules, various methods, and the theory of software development can be broken. Software and people should have a harmony, people don't want to conquer computers, the computer does not want to conquer people. Computer is a human creation, People's tools.
8.3
There is a programmer to work on the microprocessor. "See how much I am here." He said to his host programmer, "I have my own operating system and file storage device. I don't have to be Others share resources. The software is self-contained and easy to use. Why don't you quit your current job and join me? "
The big machine programmer has begun to describe his system to his friend, saying: "The big machine is sitting there, like an ancient wise man, meditating in the data center. His disk device is connected, like a huge Machine ocean. Software is multi-faceted, like a diamond, like ancient jungle is as puzzled. The program, every one is unique, like moving the fast flowing river in the system. This is why I am very satisfied with my location. "
The microcomputer programmer has heard of this, caught in silence. But these two programmers are still friends, until the end of life.
8.4
Hardware and software meet on the way to change the mountain. Software says, "You are Yin I am Yang. If we travel together, we will become famous and make a lot of money." This is right, think about Conquer the world. After a while, they met the firmware. He wore a shabby clothes. He said in a crutches of a thorns. The firmware said to them: "The Tao is surpassing the yin and Yang. It is silent, still, like a pool The same. It doesn't pursue a reputation, so no one knows his existence.
It doesn't pursue wealth because it is self-ended. It exists, beyond time and space. "
Software and hardware, the shame returned their home.
Note: The software and hardware here is metaphor, metaphor for software manufacturers and hardware manufacturers, trying to use this technology as a means to conquer the world. The author has ironically.
Epilogue
The programmer who has mastered the road said:
"The time you leave."
