Pay attention to the "front-end and backward" WeChat official account, you will get a series of "intentionally original" high-quality technical articles, topics including but not limited to front-end, Node.js and server technology
I
often hear the word grasping hand written in the front , which means a lot of meaning, but it seems to understand but not understand until I have heard a very vivid metaphor
1. What is the point of combining technology and business?
Major business changes are mostly related to the technological evolution behind them, and the popularity of innovative technologies is almost always due to the solution of certain business problems, and the two are complementary:
Business-driven technology, technology-driven business
In this context, the grasping hand can be understood as the combination of technology and business. Whether pushing or pulling, we must first establish a connection, select the appropriate technology according to the business characteristics, and find the appropriate business scenario for the technology. If there is no integration point, empty technology cannot generate value, and business scenarios alone cannot fully discover value without technical support.
This combination point may be a large business model, development strategy, business direction, or it may be a very specific type of business scenario and a certain functional module. From a technical point of view, a common strategy is to use the direction of business development as a guide for technical input:
Do technology with business
The advantage of this is that it reduces the risk of technology investment, and first finds the possible integration points before further building technical capabilities, avoiding the situation where the technology cannot find the integration point. Serve the current business scenarios well, and plan the direction of technological evolution based on the future business direction. The so-called roof repair on a sunny day, stand in the future and see today
2. Grasping hand is an opportunity, is it an entry point?
Grasping hands sometimes refers to opportunities, because the point of integration is not always obvious. It often means timing, and even on the way to a point of integration, a more suitable point of integration can be found.
At other times, the grasping hand can also be understood as an entry point, which is different from the business integration point. The entry point is more for the problem. It may be a type of business problem or user demand, or it may be a specific accident or an inefficient Process, a potential risk factor. Starting from a small point and gradually expanding to deeper and more scenarios, the technical challenges encountered in the process are getting bigger and bigger, and finally a complete set of technical solutions is formed to solve a large class of business problems
And the source of all this may be just a small problem. Therefore, there is also a saying:
Problems equal opportunities
Finding a problem is equal to finding an opportunity. If you open a crack, you may have a big opportunity
3. The grip is the iron rope on the mountain trail!
Business development is the grasping hand of technological evolution. Business is like the iron rope held tightly in the hand while climbing, and technology is like standing stone steps at the foot:
It's hard to walk without a hand, and the perfect stone steps are meaningless. There is no grasping hand, and there is no stable stone steps under the feet, and it is also impossible to reach higher and farther places.
In the wasteland reclamation stage, the advance team lays stone steps level by level, and at the same time installs iron ropes one meter by one meter. This process is accompanied by business exploration and technological evolution. Every time you reach a staged high point, you can enjoy a period of technical dividends, allowing the mighty business army to drive over:
In many cases, there is only a faintly visible peak (commercial goal) at first, and the route up the mountain is not clear. While paving the road, it is also exploring possible directions (business scenarios) and paths (technical capabilities), and setting large and small stages Sexual high point (milestone) to rest the state (rhythm), and finally a route to the summit
Therefore, in the early stage when the business scenarios and technical capabilities are uncertain, it is more important to verify quickly. Careful work should not be done at the paving stage. If the direction is correct, there is no time to come back and repair it when you rest:
For example, when we need a hammer, we just don’t have one at hand, but we have a high heel shoe, which can barely replace the hammer. But in the long run, it is not worthwhile to use it, because the price of high-heeled shoes is much higher than that of hammers, the durability is much worse, and the maintenance cost is much higher.
