The younger brother asked: Is the work of a programmer a day’s work of code?

Hi, my name is Xiao He.

I saw a question from a younger brother today on somehu, and I couldn't help but think of Xiao He, who just entered the university, and had similar naive thoughts.

Senior Xiao He, who had been working for a year and a half at this time, revealed his nature as a teacher, and couldn't help but respond angrily.

Hey little boy, check this out!

Personal experience, what is a programmer's day like in an Internet company?

Write code for a while, and be annoying by the product;
Write code for a while, be annoying by the product;
Write code for a while, be annoying by testing;
Finally, work overtime to write code...

Haha, what I said above may be a bit of a joke, maybe when the project is busy.

Silly boy, the happiest time for programmers should be when they are cracking code, which means that the requirements are clear, the technology is well thought out, the tools are also found, and finally start workingCreative work~~

However, life is often unsatisfactory—in times of unsatisfactory times, I will quarrel with the product manager, will say shit about the results of the search engine, and, after the short joy of typing the code, I stared at the code silently for a long time, you said such a beautiful code, so it won't work... T_T

Zhejiang University's @chenyuegrandmother also answered this little brother's question very politely.

The daily life of a lonely programmer

Based on the work situation of Senior Xiaohe, to be specific, in my case, I live relatively close to the company, and it takes about ten minutes to get to the company by bike.

Generally arrive at the company between 9:30-10:00 in the morning, open the email to check the latest information, and make a day's plan.

Then board the remote server, check the running status of the service, and check the monitoring to see if there are any errors and exceptions in the related services.

Then work until 12:30, go out to have a meal + chat with colleagues, walk around the park, come back at 1:30, take a half-hour lunch break, start work at 2:00 pm,until 6pm.

Of course, this afternoon is when programmers actually write code, but there may be different things interspersed to disrupt your rhythm.

When do programmers start writing code?

When his eyes start to slack, his hands start to tug at his hair, and his fingers occasionally tap the keyboard a few times, it means he has started to write code.

Have dinner at 6-7 pm, come back to work for about an hour, and get off work at 8 or 9.

Go back, exercise for half an hour, and take a shower.I swiped my phone, read a book, and went to bed around 12 o'clock.

On weekends, I stay at a coffee shop near where I live, carry a Mac notebook, write codes, and read books.

If you are tired of studying, just turn your head and pretend to be thinking. In fact, you are looking at the young and beautiful young ladies around you to keep your eyes peeled.

To be honest, the quality of the people in the cafe is still good. Some people worry about what to do with the laptop when going to the toilet. This kind of worry is actually okay.

I usually lock the screen of my laptop, then go straight to the toilet, and go back to what I should do. I haven't lost the laptop.

I've been enjoying this weekend alone.

One ​​person, one stroke, one book is really comfortable.

On a weekend alone, sometimes loneliness is a beauty.

Well, that's it for this week's chat.

I am Xiaohe, I make a little progress every day, see you next time.
