The following is the text version :
There was a piece of news a while ago that surprised many people- a 28-year-old programmer announced in a high profile: I am retired . This kind of confidence makes people realize that the group of programmers is really rich.
Counting the major wealth lists, you can easily find that many Internet companies and technology companies occupy the forefront, and excellent programmers play a vital role in them. They spend a lot of time writing code, and when no one is disturbed, it is easy to enter a state of so-called "flow" in psychology-writing code without distraction and concentration. This kind of excellent programmer will gain a lot of wealth, and do you know how this wealthy group shows off their wealth?
American high-profile show off wealth
Drive a sports car
Bill Gates , a programmer who has been the richest man in the world for many years, with his own writing of Microsoft BASIC-the first BASIC on the PC , laid the foundation for the software giant after Microsoft, and also brought him a huge wealth. Perhaps it was because he wrote code day and night when he was young, and after success, he would want to vent. In short, Bill Gates fell in love with sports cars.
There is a very famous photo: Young Bill Gates was caught by the police for speeding in a sports car, and he was photographed with a sign. Subsequently, he was a multi-million dollar man in the 1980s, and set off the trend of programmers loving sports cars.

In addition to his love of sports cars, Bill Gates also likes to buy yachts. In addition to him, Larry Ellison, the boss of Oracle , the world's largest database software company, and Paul Allen , who co-founded Microsoft's predecessor with Bill Gates , will compare who built the yacht and whose Yachts are more advanced.

Go to space
In addition, those rich men in the United States still love space. For example, science fiction film and television works such as Star Trek have been popular in the United States for many years. Therefore, many programmers have loved space since they were young and want to contribute something to it when they grow up.
John Carmack , a video game programmer and one of the founders of id Software , learned self-made rockets from scratch, and the final result was amazing: in the test flight in 2012, the rocket code-named Stig reached an altitude of 82 kilometers, with a terminal flight speed Already close to twice the speed of sound.
Jeff Bezos , who founded Amazon, the world’s largest online bookstore and was once the world’s richest man, invested in the space exploration company "Blue Origin" for his hobby and his ambition to send humans into outer space. a lot of.
There is one more person who needs no words, Elon Musk . He is the CEO of Tesla , and he is also the CEO and CTO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) . The money he earns is also partly invested in Tesla and partly invested in SpaceX.

The Oracle CEO Larry Ellison mentioned above who regards hobbies as a profession , he not only loves racing cars and flying jet planes, but also sailing competitions. He is aggressive, not only the database he wrote, but also the sailing competition: in the 33rd America’s Cup in 2010, the American BMW Oracle team won the championship.

Later, house purchases were restricted, and Chinese programmers began to look for other outlets in a low-key manner. At that time, a programmer went to the United States to do software alone, earning $50,000 a month, and later bought a BMW.
Pursuing hobbies but returning to work
Zhang Xiaolong , the founder of WeChat , is interested in watches. When someone visits him, he even prepares Braun's watch as a gift, and says: "This is a good design, you can experience it."
There is also a programmer who sold his company to UFIDA and went out to enjoy a variety of top gameplay and gluttonous food. After experiencing all his hobbies, he finally felt boring and returned to write programs and start a business.

Dai Zhikang , the founder of Discuz! Forum , also has many hobbies, often plays around, and also has an investment vision. He invested in Huobi, and his profit was almost 1,000 times more than that. However, he is unwilling to do this and returns to entrepreneurship. He is currently operating the company "Partner Cloud". He believes: " Investment is to watch people play cards, it is better to have fun on the court. "
CSDN founder & chairman Jiang Tao has also experienced more than 20 years of entrepreneurship, and returned to the company in 2018 and further developed it. He believes that the most successful part of being a programmer is being able to master it . The code written can achieve functions as expected, so the company also hopes to develop according to its own expectations.
It can be seen from this that many Chinese programmers have finally returned to work after going around. Do you have any thoughts on this? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area~
