As a technical person, I believe you have also thought about this question: after working for a few years, the code is very skillful, the online programs are rarely bugs, and we can share technology from time to time, but which direction is the next development?
There are three choices: technical expertise, transformation management, and promotion to architect. Many friends, including myself, have chosen the third type, or are working hard in this direction.
But I found that some people who have been programmers for 7 or 8 years are still in the stage of "code farmers". Normally, the pace of work is too fast, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to systematically learn the architecture, so I can only type code and become more passive. What's more, the understanding of the architecture is still at the stage where the architect provides the implementation based on the product manager's needs, that is, the architecture design plan.
This is obviously a misunderstanding. The architecture is about the entire project and the people who implement it. At the same time, the architecture is also about the needs of users. As architects, we not only need to understand what users’ needs are today, but also make reasonable predictions about possible changes in requirements in the future. Therefore, if you want to grow into a good architect, the key lies in four words: control the overall situation.
It is not easy to do this. It is not only necessary to have a complete picture of the system, but also to master enough architectural thinking paradigms and apply them to engineering practice. Knowing is easy and doing is difficult. There are many people around who do architecture, but not many people can really explain and explain the architecture. Here I would like to recommend one person— Xu Shiwei, CEO of Qiniu Cloud.
Lao Xu became the chief architect of WPS after two years of graduation, and led the architecture design and development of WPS for three years (maybe many young friends don’t know that WPS is like a god to us "old programmers" .)
In 2011, Xu Shiwei founded Qiniu Cloud. He personally designed the architecture and wrote a lot of core code. He is not a traditional CEO. The entrepreneur is just his identity. I think Lao Xu is always a technical man in his bones. He really loves programming and enjoys it. Moreover, he is one of the few people who can make the "architecture" clear.
Therefore, when I learned that he had launched the column "Xu Shiwei's Architecture Class" , my first reaction was that it was too rare. Architects with qualifications and backgrounds like Lao Xu are still so willing to export, probably because of a pure spirit of sharing.
I watched the update last year, and took the time to do it again this year. If you use four words to summarize this column, I think it is: high-level construction—both architectural view and methodology, combined with the accumulation of Lao Xu’s 20 years of experience, it can be said that it starts with the structure and is higher than the structure.
There are several articles in it, which make me feel worth the "ticket" of the entire column, and it is no longer possible to use "big harvest" in general. I feel lucky to be able to encounter this class in the middle of my career, and I am sincerely grateful to Lao Xu. Recently, I heard that the column price will be increased to ¥199 , and now it only costs ¥89 for half price to get it with a password . I recommend it to you here.

This column, in Old Xu's own words: it is the first time that he fully and systematically shared his 20 years of architectural experience and thinking.
When I first went online, I remembered that 60 lectures were promoted, but Xu wrote 89 lectures beyond expectation , which is also very distracting. The organizational logic is completely different from the architecture books and courses we usually see. Old Xu wants to take us to build a macro perspective of understanding software architecture and return to the origin of information to think about problems.
In this process, he started from basic architecture, gradually transitioned to business architecture, and finally completed a complete application design process, including six parts: basic platform, desktop platform, server development, service governance, architectural thinking, and software engineering , Not only explained the architecture paradigm of common business scenarios, but also their application in engineering practice.
From the examples in the column, you can see the skill of Lao Xu. He thought of the phrase "things will not be resolved at the level where the problem occurs, and will only be resolved when it rises to a higher level." What Lao Xu teaches is more than just moves. , Is a kind of artistic conception. Only a person who really stands on a high place and controls the overall situation can explain it in such a simple and easy-to-understand way. As the so-called road is simple, there is a sense of transparency after reading.
I read it before posting. 26,000 people have subscribed to this class. The quality of the comments is very high. You can learn a lot from discussing issues in the comment area. I cut some of them for your reference:
Whether you are an architect or a programmer who wants to become an architect, through this column, you can gain much more than you pay.
Before, Lao Xu's former colleague Yu Sheng at Shanda also wrote an article about him. It was interesting to see a few comments in the comment area. Share it with you:
However, even such a legendary person did not mention inciting words such as "100 million" and "tens of billions" in the propaganda of the column. Although his Qiniuyun has already reached such a level, it can be seen that the old man The simplicity.
I can only say that finding a life mentor to point you forward is a very lucky thing, enough to kick you on the "fast lane" of growth.

Before reading an interview with Lao Xu, he said something like this: Choice is related to the degree of symmetry of information. The less you understand something, the more you will tend to choose conservative solutions, and when you know enough about a certain field, your decision-making process will be very natural.
For a few tens of dollars, you can see the summary of Xu Shiwei's 20 years of experience and the opportunity to get one step closer with top architects. In a few years, you will thank you for your investment today.
