Are programmers despised?
In the past two days, there is a topic that has caused extensive discussion among programmers: a blind date with an annual salary of 80W programmers is despised!
In a well-known Internet community, a netizen posted a post with an annual salary of 80W to go on a blind date. He was even despised by a university teacher who was not as good as teaching at a second school.
It is estimated that what he did not expect is that even in such a community where IT Internet practitioners gather, the comments are almost overwhelming to him:
Are we programmers really so unbearable?
If the programmers are gone
The past 10.24 was a traditional festival for our programmers, so let’s open our minds: If Thanos snaps his fingers and all programmers all over the world disappear, what will the world be like?
Once the programmer disappears, all the program codes in the world can no longer be updated...
First of all, there will not be any new electronic products, apps, Internet services, because no one writes even a single line of code.
Secondly, the positions of product manager and software testing can also be laid off, because there are no more new products to design and test.
Nothing new, it would be nice to stay where it is now?
Oh? is it?
A week later, the Internet company's server began to crash abnormally, and network services began to be unstable. Major Internet companies received a large number of complaints every day, and customer service was overwhelmed.
One month later, various APP and website bugs piled up and no one repaired them. People began to reject online payment, online transfer, and return to cash consumption.
Half a year later, the server hard disks of major Internet companies began to fill up, the database frequently burst, new content could not be written in, and the service programs crashed and could not be restarted.
One day, you opened the live broadcast software and wanted to interact with your favorite anchor, but found that you could not log in. You thought you were being supervised by the relevant authorities again.
One day, you opened the X audio short video and passed the boring time, but found that nothing came out. You thought there was a bug in the background.
One day, when you went to the breakfast shop to scan the QR code to pay, you found that it kept failing. You thought it was because the network signal was bad.
One day, you went to search for something on X degrees, but told you that you couldn't access it. You thought it was due to network arrears.
At first, people didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just the closure of a website, the fall of an APP, and the suspension of a game.
Until, this change is closely related to everyone's life...
X Blog Hot Search is no longer updated. Today, X Articles can’t be updated with new content, the live broadcast platform can’t be seen, and the XX public account can’t receive new pushes anymore. All big Vs are unemployed.
Search engines are no longer available, and people cannot find the information they need.
You can't order takeout, so people have to go out of their homes to shop.
Shopping websites can't be opened either, and countless e-commerce companies have collapsed and opened physical stores offline.
The Map APP can no longer connect to the server, the data cannot be updated, navigation errors frequently, and people have to get used to driving according to road instructions.
Later, online ticket purchases were no longer available, and 12306 could not be accessed. People could only go to the offline ticket window to buy train tickets in long lines.
······
A year later, the Internet's infrastructure DNS servers, switches, and routers also went on strike. The Internet was completely unusable. People's mobile phones and computers became islands, and the Internet disappeared.
After a few years, people became accustomed to life without computers, internet, mobile phones, or even TVs.
Decades later, new humans no longer know what programmers are. They can only learn from history books: programmers once used 0 and 1 to build a digital civilization, which was very popular.
Programmer, worth it
Of course, the above is purely fictitious and need not be taken seriously.
But it is undeniable that people's lives have become better because of programmers, and without them, we cannot imagine that kind of life.
The codes are cold, but programmers make them into colorful applications.
Code is boring, but programmers turn them into interesting and exciting games.
Programmers often ridicule themselves as code farmers and IT migrant workers. Although they are joking and self-deprecating, they are more habitual and helpless.
A knight who has just entered the arena, who doesn't dream of walking the world with a sword?
As a beginner, who doesn’t dream of changing the world with code?
The programmer Dennis Ritchie , who has dominated software development for decades, is the father of the C language and the father of Unix.
Programmer Linus redefines the operating system and leads countless programmers to flock to it. He is the father of Linux.
Programmer Tim Lee , who built a global village of billions of people, is the father of the Internet.
Programmer Zhang Xiaolong , who has changed the way of communication among billions of Chinese people, is the father of WeChat.
······
When every programmer enters this industry, he will write the phrase "Hello, World". This is not only a simple greeting, but also the voice of the seed of our dream to change the world with code .
We have built a digital consumer world with codes, covering everything in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and creating countless jobs, business opportunities and wealth.
We built the world of digital communication with code, making it a reality that the sea of memory is close to each other, even if the sky is different, the news will arrive in no time.
We have built a digital information world with code. The information accumulated by all mankind for thousands of years can be known through the browser without leaving home.
Why are such us despised? Such us are not so unbearable. Such us should be respected!
