Write in front
1. Today’s topic may not be liked by many people, but I am a person, I don’t like to hide some realistic things, and I don’t like to just say what others like to hear, because I don’t want to go against my heart Do something very hypocritical.
To be honest, it has been almost a year since I wrote the official account, and there are more than 100 original articles. In this process, I also have my own growth mindset. At the beginning of writing for one or two months, I really pursued and paid attention to these superficial things. , Later, I also realized my problem, and I needed to correct it if I was sick.
I wrote articles in the early stage, writing some personal opinions or articles about cognition and thinking. I really couldn’t write them. At the time, I was learning Android by myself and doing some corporate projects with my teacher. I could only write some technical articles. Later I found out writing technical articles. There are too many articles. A sophomore boy can’t compare with others who are already working in the company. In terms of experience, not to mention strength, I can only say that I have more free time than them, and there is no other advantage. Searching.
Slowly, I discovered that technical articles are really not suitable for sharing on the WeChat public platform. You may ask me why. I have 100 reasons to explain why I didn’t write this article before because I was lying to myself. . I would like to ask, including the readers who have followed me this year and some official account owners, can the following questions be answered?
1. With so much attention, why only one-tenth of the attention is read every day?
2. People who claim to write technical articles on the official account every day (including me), ask themselves if they will learn technology on the official account, and can they read the technical articles written by others completely?
3. Do you think it takes a lot of time to compose pictures, write technical articles and organize time, or is it precious to increase a lot of attention?
4. Regarding readers, touch your own conscience and say, have you really learned things that others can't learn in technical articles?
These four simple questions are enough to make it difficult for many people to answer. To be honest, I have written technical articles myself, but I still focus on sharing my own programming experience and learning methods and skills. Having said so much is not a special article Articles against the official account to write technical articles, it is not good for me, I just want to simply let the readers who follow me trigger their own thinking.
2. I have written so many original articles, but I find that I have improved a lot, because I am thinking about every original article, I will ask myself many times for every question, and I will find a question in any environment Keep polishing in my mind, asking myself layer by layer.
I have also compared it with others. At the same time, with more than 100 original articles, its attention is 10 or 100 times higher than mine. To be honest, I don’t feel surprised at all. I looked at most of the technical articles (those who are great on the Internet will say otherwise). It's not that I'm aiming at someone. First of all, I'm not that kind of person. I have something to say.
I remember years ago, for a few months I output articles (not technical articles) almost every day, and the amount of attention remained unchanged at all. I saw that many people also scattered articles in the group, and ran away after forwarding them. To be honest, I did it at the beginning, but then I didn’t touch it at all, and I didn’t even repost my own articles in my own group. I thought about this issue. First, this behavior will reveal my own quality; Second, the ones that have risen have no meaning at all; third, people who understand things in the group will not pay attention to such numbers. Even if they are concerned, they are just numbers.
3. Again, writing this article is to make hundreds of readers who pay attention to me arouse their thinking, and there is no such thing as any sexual language. Before the holiday, I also told myself that I have time for the holiday, so I wrote a few technical articles to increase my attention. Many people have also asked Xiaolu a question, how did others gain so many fans? So let me give you the answer, go to learn art, and beautify the typesetting of any technical article. I guarantee that you will have tens of thousands of fans in less than a few months.
You might say, Xiaolu, why don't you try it? I wrote two technical articles a year ago, and I also submitted manuscripts. Many people praised me for writing very well. The attention of the two articles has increased by nearly half a year, but I am not what I want most.
Isn't it good to have so much attention? If I really feel good to myself, then I am really deceiving myself. Xiaolu will briefly talk about the shortcomings of the two technical articles. First, the first article, with pictures, typesetting, and copying of knowledge points on his own blog, took a lot of time. I can use this time. Come to learn more in-depth techniques; second, the second article, it's fair to myself, and I've done it myself, but most of the drawing, clarifying ideas, and speaking from people from different perspectives, I think it is very different in terms of time. Cost-effective.
4. A few days ago , someone from People's Posts and Telecommunications Publishing House asked me to publish a book, saying that the graphic algorithm written was very good, and I hope I can cooperate. Regardless of whether it is true or not, I already know the quality of the book for the person who first found the book from this part of the publishing house. First, regarding data structures and algorithms, this is the most important thing in my mind. How can such important knowledge be published by anyone? Without foundation and actual combat, and without technical precipitation, the book published is also a bad book.
One point I need to remind readers, when buying books, do not buy those that are thin, not authoritative, and have many comics with pictures, because the knowledge involved in those books is very narrow, and one or two sentences summarizes everything. , Although those books that seem to be very thick are boring to read, but the real content is in those books. You need to carefully study and read slowly before you can master the techniques that others cannot master.
Generally speaking, although there is a little improvement to myself, I believe that the improvement is more than one or two times in other ways. I think another reason why the public account is not suitable for writing technical articles is that the technology needs to be systematic. A technical article explains a piece of knowledge. A good author will think of connecting related technical points in series, but the related technical points in series will not In the expansion of this article, how do readers combine the two technical points to think comprehensively?
Besides, on public platforms like WeChat, articles will disappear forever in the long river of history after four or five days after being reposted. I don’t even bother to read the reviews I wrote, let alone my readers. This is also the reason why all the technical articles I have compiled and learned are updated on my own personal blog every day.
Technical articles are recorded on many blogs or blogs created by individuals. Although a lot of knowledge has passed more than ten years, it will still be searched for and learned. This may be the best existence value of a technical article.
5. The reason why it is difficult to write my own opinions and feelings today is that I don’t like to force myself to be a slave to writing. I personally pursue freedom, and I will share my own little thoughts with every reader. I hope that an article can be pointed out and criticized, and I hope it can arouse readers' thinking and dialectics, and these thinking and dialectics are more in value, and I think the true meaning of public account communication lies.
Finally, I think that valuable information should be retrieved, discussed, thought about, supplemented and updated by readers , rather than on the surface like, reposted and appreciated.
An article should have its long-term value, not a short stay.
Xiaolu's official account positioning: hope to bring learning methods and skills in technology, and hope to bring readers thinking and speculation in cognitive articles .
