Lei Jun wrote a blog when he was a programmer. It's awesome

This article was read on Lei Zong's personal blog , It talked about his experience as a programmer 、 Original intention and thinking . Well written , Let's turn to .

If the program of life , The road is too long .

I'm not born to write programs , When I was in high school, I didn't want to live as a programmer .

I learned computer by accident , My friend chose computer department when he was in University , In order to have more common language with this friend , I also chose the computer department , Start to step into the road of program life .

When I learned something , I find myself particularly fond of writing programs . I went to the computer department of Wuhan University in 1987 , There are only professional courses in the next semester . When I'm qualified to get on the plane , It's wonderful to find the computer world , Just plunge in .

It was Motorola 68000 ( Quite a On Intel 8088), 540K Of memory , Running UNIX operating system , For eight people .

Sophomore year PC, Another semester passed , Started to show up in the teacher's lab , Help with the work , It was written at that time, which is used by many people now RI （RAMinit, A small tool for clearing memory , It seems that I was the first to write Shareware People who ).

Another semester passed , Start to get in touch with companies outside school . Summer vacation in sophomore year , That is to say 1989 year 8 month , With a friend Yellow Rose Software team , Wrote my first product software BITLOK 0.99. Later, I started my own business , I also wrote some other software .

After college , To the Institute , Not quite adapted to the atmosphere there , It's just 1992 Add Kingsoft software at the beginning of the year , Started a career as a professional programmer . Later, he became the director of Jinshan software R & D department , But I've always been a front-line programmer .

The feeling of programming

Programmers live in the realm of their imagination

As soon as I touched the computer, I found its beauty , Computers are far less complicated than people . If your program is well written , You can have a good relationship with the computer , You can direct the computer to do what you want .

At this time you are the absolute master . Every time you sit in front of the computer , You are walking in your kingdom , Such a day is like a day in heaven .

The world in the computer is very big , Programmers live in the realm of their imagination . You can imagine every byte in the computer 、 Every bit of things .

I love the job of programming , I'm sure I'll do it all my life

Many people think that programmers can change their environment when they are at most thirty-five years old , It's almost time for the brain to rest , I don't have enough energy . And think it's young people's business to write programs , At a certain age , I don't think anyone will be a programmer anymore .

When I just had a little ability , I also feel programming hard like everyone , I want to do something else when I'm 30 . When I was a little older, I found my ignorance .

One is twenty-one or twenty-two years old when he graduates from college , When it's a little level, it's probably twenty-five , Then there are many things to live with . When all is settled , Maybe 35 years old . If so , We don't have to choose the path of procedural life .

It's not a short time for computers to enter China , But it really started to work on a large scale , It's still in 1985 PC At the beginning , So the people who write computer programs in China have written for more than ten years （ I don't know if there are any such people ）.

Due to the short time of computer application in China , The main force of domestic development is young people under the age of 35 . But this doesn't mean that programmers are as old as pink beauties . Major engineers in the United States are mainly in their 30s and 40s .

At the beginning , We don't think we can do anything （ Now I can still hear such heroic words ）, And what's more, it seems that we are very smart , Especially suitable for developing software , Much better than foreigners .

When we really get in touch with great developers , Find out they're too good , Have more than ten years of development experience . Although there are many young people who have done a lot of good things , But most of the products come from these programmers with rich development experience .

When I just graduated , Programming is more than a hobby , And it's a lifetime job . I don't know what to write all day , I feel so boring , I can't find the feeling , Very discouraged .

later , Just understand , Only with all one's heart , The program will feel .

The job of writing a program takes a lot of brain , I'm very tired , But I like , I'm sure I'll do it all my life , Although I didn't plan to do only one thing in my life . It's easy and difficult to program in one's lifetime .

If you do nothing , Write a program for the delivery , Such a day is too easy to mix . But if you want to write a program with all your heart , It's not easy to write for ten years .

Now many of my friends have washed their hands , Sometimes I want to “ What kind of computer do you use ,Windows Isn't the outside world big ？”.

When facing the computer , An instant epiphany ： Writing a program is the best thing you can do , It's also my favorite thing .

Advanced programmers are not the goal

Some people learn programming techniques , It's the goal of senior programmers , Even a lifelong goal . Later, I participated in the real commercial software development , Instead, I was confused , At a loss .

As long as one has tenacity and spirituality , Have access to and learn computer programming technology , You'll be a good programmer . Just started writing programs , At this time, people who learn more write well , In the later , Everyone is on a level , Who writes well only depends on whether the person is careful 、 Resilient 、 There is spirituality . To master more or less , I'll be able to make it up soon .

It's not difficult to be a senior programmer .

When I went to school , Senior programmers were my targets , I hope my technology will be recognized by others . It turns out that no matter how advanced the programmers are, they are useless , The key is whether you can come up with ideas and products , Whether your labor can be recognized by the society , Can create wealth for society . Being a senior programmer is definitely not the goal .

Programming is more than just technology , Or art

Some people think that programming is a kind of skilled work , Some people call programming art creation . There is a heated debate between the two opinions . Let's change jobs and see , A mason should be a skilled worker , Belongs to workers , It seems to be not related to art . But it's these stonemasons , How many cultural relics are left for us , Like Leshan Buddha 、 Mogao Grottoes and so on . It should be said that these stonemasons left us endless cultural property .

The modern software industry has a considerable scale , A lot of software needs to be completed by the army . After the first mock exam is accepted by a general programmer, the task of writing a module is , Often just write code , There is little room to play .

In big projects , Many programmers can only learn a lot of details related to their own modules , In addition, it is limited by the development environment , It's really hard to realize that I'm engaged in ” art ” create , Most of the time, I feel that I am engaged in heavy physical work .

Sometimes I was worried about the significance of the project I was involved in , Is it competitive among similar products , Will it be developed because of the development of hardware , The new generation of operating system is out of date ……

I think programming is similar to stonework , Have technical skills , It's more physical work . Anyway? , It's not easy to write a good software .

Both of these ideas are one-sided , Programming should say that both properties have .

Programming is more than just technology , It's also art .

Programming is technical work , It's possible to do it on a large scale , There will be software engineering and software factories .

It's programming that is art , There are so many good products , Let everyone be infatuated with .
