The evolution of programmer communication in the post-IT era

[[154418]]

Every programmer wants to change the world - by typing on the keyboard and using code to benefit all mankind.

In response to the true and false slogan of Silicon Valley: Make the world a better place

So thousands of programmers rose up, squatted in front of the machines, and worked hard until the end of time.

But in contrast to the lofty ideal, the living environment of the apes is harsh - high pressure, fast pace, heavy tasks. In the morning, they clock in to enter the workshop, and once they sit down, they will not move again for the whole day.

So it’s normal to have few social activities on weekdays. It’s really annoying to be called a nerd.

Humans with fish lips, why do you want black apes? !

It’s not that we’re unsocial, we’ve evolved, okay?

Geeky needs

Although writing code is an extremely independent thing, it doesn't matter whether you are working on a project in a company or developing an APP freely in SOHO.

When you are in a circle, it is also very important to exchange codes and *** information with each other.

It’s okay if you don’t want to go out. Staying at home and scrolling on the keyboard is also socializing. Through the screen, the apes gather together in another way, maintaining a different dimension together.

Standard one:

In the era of cloud computing, only apps with the "cloud" gene can better meet geeks' requirements for social tools - of course, they must support MAC (OS X), which needs no explanation.

Standard configuration 2:

Dual screens and dual streams are in line with the daily routine of programmers. One screen is for video and the other is for desktop sharing. It is like a high-power router, demonstrating its high-density information processing capabilities that surpass ordinary people.

Standard three:

When discussing UI/UE with peers, demonstrate on your iPad and directly share the screen to the PC/MAC you are joining the meeting via AirPlay - partners can discuss and annotate at any time.

With the support of these "geeky" functions, the apes' imaginations can be fearless and move forward courageously.

Light social

The concept of "community" is very popular recently, and people often join a QQ group or WeChat group with hundreds or thousands of people. However, if there is no clear and strong organizational management (like Wu Xiaobo's "class committee"), the community will soon become a gathering place for messy information, losing the original purpose of establishing the community.

Programmers should stay focused enough to solve specific problems instead of being distracted by worthless information.

Therefore, "lightweight" communities are more suitable for apes.

1. Burn after reading - that is, the community will automatically disband after completing a specific topic.

The gathering of the community is limited in time, and the content shared is also linear and cannot be repeated. In a limited time, when members receive high-density information, their attention will be highly concentrated. Therefore, the discussion of community topics will be more efficient.

2. Meeting control - the host controls the agenda

The time, content, pace, and permissions of participants in a community "meeting" organized for a specific purpose are all controlled by the role of "host".

Restrictions are for more freedom, and through the formulation of rules, the organization and management of the community can be orderly.

3. Simplify the process of community gathering

Creating a group, adding friends, searching, joining a group, and verification, this series of steps can be simplified.

The initiator only needs to "initiate" and the participants only need to "join", and there is no need to even register. A community can be gathered just through a time-limited conference number.

Object-oriented communication

Thanks to the Internet, people can break free from the limitations of their real identity and region and reconstruct social relationships in the virtual world through the black mirror in front of them.

There are no faces in this world, only constructed "virtual symbols". It is so simple that it omits many social rules of real society, which seems to make social interaction easier.

However, this "symbol" has no connotation and filters out the deep-seated human thinking and emotions - simple, crude, and brainless.

Object-oriented communication, on the contrary, wants you to show your true self.

Communicate with your "communication partner" in your true self, and test the effectiveness of communication directly through expressions, movements and body language other than voice.

This allows you to fully engage in the communication and have genuine and relaxed interpersonal interactions, rather than chatting and browsing the web at the same time.
