2015 Chinese Programmers Survival Report—How miserable life is!

2015 Chinese Programmers Survival Report—How miserable life is!

Coding at work, coding overtime, and falling asleep when I get home. Others give red envelopes to their colleagues when they get married, but they never do, because they may change jobs and not work in the same company tomorrow. Before getting married, his mother bought him clothes, and after getting married, his wife took care of everything. He never bought clothes for himself, because he didn't know where to buy what brand. But he is still envied by many programmers , because... buddy has successfully found his way out of being single.

The programming Q&A community Stack Overflow released a 2015 programmer survey report showing that 92.1% of software developers in 157 participating countries are male. I can only say that 156 of these countries account for the remaining 7.9%, leaving no female counterparts in China! You think we are like losers, and we laugh at you for not seeing through us - what does "like" mean? Now we are irresponsibly publishing a survival report for Chinese programmers!

Our race. There are few girls majoring in science in high school, and even fewer girls majoring in computer science in college. After they start working, they are cut off from work, and the number and quality of the opposite sex have dropped to the point where it begins to challenge human nature. The slightly prettier girls have all gone to the testing department, and the only remaining opposite sex are all men who are both good-looking and good-looking.

Our topic: We are honored that we can still feel the threat to our survival in peacetime. Programmers die suddenly every year, and every time I hear the news, I touch my heart subconsciously. Reflecting on the fact that I have not worked overtime day and night in the past two months, I pat my chest and tell my little heart, "Please beat well."

Our lives. There are always hundreds of product managers between wishes and reality, because none of these product managers is called "Dou Dou". Their eyes are scanners, their code name is "Natural Enemy", brightness, saturation, contrast are all in the bowl, and pixels cannot be missing.

Our work. Don’t ask me why I always count from 0, don’t ask me why I want to raise everything to the power of 2, don’t ask me what it means when I say the wrong thing on the phone and my left hand subconsciously types Cthl+Z. Anyway, as long as the customer and the product manager say “change”, we have to move!

Our salary. Social skills are my weakness, and flattery is even worse. How can hundreds of programmers in the company stand out? How can they make money if they don't stand out? Forget it. I bet that the company will not become the next Baofeng. I won't wait for the stock option. I will try to find a new company that pays out year-end bonuses for more than ten months.

Our way out. People say that if you work as a programmer for ten years, you will have no future. In fact, it is not that you have no future, but that you have no energy. Therefore, except for those who start their own business and become leaders, everyone turns to the position they are most familiar with. So who am I most familiar with?

Our teammates. Why are lawyers, architects, and English teachers interfering? ! Who wrote "Everyone is a Product Manager"? Stand up, I want to ask you to talk about life. An unreliable product manager will never know what kind of pyramid he will write out when he proposes a requirement!

An amateur product manager is promoted to an excellent one after defeating countless programmers. I am pleased to see you become more and more arrogant. Unconsciously, we found that we have become the most familiar people. Mom, can I bring our product manager back to show you during the Chinese New Year?
