Cartoon: what are the attributes of a good programmer?

A lot of people ask me , Are you a good programmer ？

I'm far from it , But I'm working towards that .

that , How to be a good programmer ？

Good programmers often have several characteristics , Some of these characteristics are more important , Some have a slightly lower effect , In my opinion , For these characteristics from low to high 5 Five stars .

1. Interest in

How important ：*****

Beyond all doubt , Whether it's IT Or other fields , Interest is the first driving force of success .

Maybe someone will ask ： I'm not interested in anything serious , I'm born to eat, drink and play , What should I do ？

Can't , Be hard on yourself , Think about how hard work can make money , The money you make can make you eat, drink and play better .

2. Logical thinking ability

How important ：***

As a programmer , Logical thinking is mainly reflected in two aspects ： Business logic and algorithms . For the former , Just think hard , Implementing clear business logic is not too difficult ; But algorithms can't be mastered overnight .

But don't worry , If you are not one Geek, Not an algorithm engineer , Not one ACM contestant , So the algorithm is not critical to you . I have an architect friend in Huawei holding 70W+ The annual salary of , I talked to him about quick sort , He can't say the basic principle of quick sort ......

3. memory

How important ：****

Is memory important to programmers ？ Maybe some people don't think so , Including me at the beginning ： Programming is a flexible science , How can we learn by rote ？

Not by rote, of course , But memory is really important sometimes . A line of code you've written , A blog post you read , A technology sharing you've heard ...... It's all a treasure to remember .

Someone asked ： I was born with a bad memory , What am I gonna do? ？

Better a good memory than a bad pen , Just take notes , use “ External storage ” make up “ Memory ” It's not enough .

4. self-control

How important ：*****

No matter what industry , Self control is a very important quality . Of course, interest is the first driving force , But it's hard to keep a strong interest in one thing forever , Especially when it becomes a career （ Except for a few great gods ）.

As a popular saying recently ： What do you do in eight hours , Determine your future achievements . Keep good self-control , Plus good learning methods , Can let programmer progress day by day . It won't take long , It only takes a year or two , People with good self-control will be more than one level higher than ordinary people .

5. luck

How important ：**

Does luck matter ？ Maybe some people will disdain . The author thinks , For a new comer , Meet a good job opportunity or a good mentor , It can definitely make people avoid detours for a few years . however , As people grow in strength , The dependence on luck will gradually decrease , Until he became a tech savvy , This person turns out to be someone else's luck .

Take Jin Yong's martial arts novels as an example ： Linghu Chong meets fengqingyang , It's great luck for Linghu Chong , Because Linghu Chong's strength is too weak , Feng Qingyang can give him the best advice . But imagine if Asia is not defeated and the wind is clear , It's not going to get much , Because the invincible east is strong enough , On the contrary, they will look down on fengqingyang .

Someone asked , I'm out of luck , No strength , What am I gonna do? ？

don't worry , Friends who saw this cartoon , Not too bad luck .

In addition to the five aspects summarized above , Good programmers should also have certain communication skills 、 professional knowledge 、 Patient and careful 、 A strong body 、 Beauty and so on , I will not elaborate them one by one here .

On the importance of these aspects , It's just my personal opinion , You have more ideas , Feel free to leave a comment .
