Every industry will be divided into levels, and programmers are no exception! The better ones are called engineers, the more common ones are called programmers, the worse ones are called coders, and the worse ones are called coders and code slaves.
I was browsing a forum today and came across a comment made by a game software development engineer from Kingsoft. The post indicated that it was said by his colleague. In my opinion, it does make sense.
First-rate programmers rely on mathematics,
Second-rate programmers rely on algorithms,
Three-rate programmers rely on logic,
The fourth stream relies on SDK,
the fifth stream relies on Google and StackOverFlow,
the sixth stream relies on Baidu and CSDN.
Looking at the low-end and the high-end is black magic!
It’s so true. As far as the current working status is concerned, I will call myself a fifth-rate one
Of course, some netizens say that first-class programmers rely on Emotional intelligence, second-rate programmers rely on IQ, and third-rate programmers rely on confusion.
Some big guys also say this, top programmers rely on philosophy!
Some netizens also said that : I am a seventh-rate person, relying on copying.
In fact, this is also the current situation of most programmers. Most of the technologies now are open source, and few people will research the technology or do secondary development.
Let’s take a look at the programmer ladder rankings. From this we can imagine that to be an excellent engineer, mathematics, algorithms, and logic are really important!
1. The fathers of computer science: Turing, Shannon, von Neumann and others.
2. The fathers of various fields of computer science: the researchers at AT&T Bell Labs who created the computer world, including Thompson, Rich, Berners-Lee, Bjarne Stroustrup and others.
3. The father of Silicon Valley: the eight rebellious geniuses of Fairchild Company (Robert Noyce, Moore, etc.), the Bosacks, Gates, Paul Allen, Wozniak, etc.
4. Silicon Valley heroes: Carmack, Larry Page, Brin, Huang Jen-Hsun, Torvalds (knock on the blackboard! He is the linus you are shouting about...), Jeff Dean, etc.
5. PhD researchers from Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Harvard, etc., who have contributed to computer science, these people are not paid much attention to by the public, but their promotion of computer science will be short-lived in a certain historical period. break out. There are currently 67 Turing Award recipients, almost all of whom come from these four schools.
6.FLAG and Microsoft and other experts and researchers, who have led the development of major projects, are well known to Chinese people as Kaifu Li and others.
7. Programmer entrepreneurs: Domestic, Qiu Bojun, Wang Jiangmin, Wang Zhidong, Robin Li, Zhou Hongyi, etc.
This is the dividing line for the upper limit of efforts of ordinary programmers
8. BAT experts and researchers (mostly Ph.D., but there are also talented people who rely on projects, Annual salary of one million stocks)
9. FLAG Ordinary code farmer
10. The main technical boss of a startup company (most people who change jobs in well-known Internet companies such as BAT are 30w-80w, and the annual salary and technology are deceived into Proportional)
11. BAT ordinary coders (domestic 985 211CS undergraduates and postgraduates mostly, average level, capable of most businesses, hard copy wheel, 30w-60w)
12. Ordinary code Farmer (copy and paste, 10w-30w)
13. Novice code animal (you still have to ask where to copy and paste...)
......
Finally
Even if the low end looks like a god to the high end, we will one day become an excellent programmer through our own efforts,
Believe in yourself!
If you want to learn programming, you can learn the front-end. The front-end learning threshold is low, and you can also learn the back-end. PHP is currently the most popular web development scripting language. The syntax is simple and easy to learn, regardless of whether you have programming foundation or not. All can be learned.
