Community 03: The circle created by technical people and the circle of technical people


The author has to remind readers again that the content of this article is boring and the sentences are bland. Maybe you will gain nothing after reading the whole article, so you need to be mentally prepared before reading, and do not complain after reading. This article was released many months in advance for some reason, so the reference materials are not in place, and there are many lies, please Haihan.


In the initial stage of the Internet, online communities were usually built by technical people, and even for a long time, technical people were the only visitors to these communities. However, with the passage of time, the popularization of computers and the great development of the Internet have brought the online community into thousands of households. Newsgroups, mailing groups, and then forums.

Technologists born in the 1980s will still remember that when CCTV Economic Channel interviewed four 25-year-old CEOs (one of them committed suicide by jumping off a building some time ago), a young man named Dai Zhikang later sold the company to Tencent, and the flagship product of Kangsheng Creative, which he created, is Discuz!, which has exploded across the country. Discuz! Forum is for community building, just like Wordpress is for small website building today, providing convenient technical support for different fields and different types of tangible communities.

Although many competitors appeared during the same period, there is no doubt that it was their competing against each other that made great contributions to the early Internet community. The countless well-known communities born before and after this have created countless hot topics for the Chinese online community at different times, and provided limited but breakthrough connections for early Internet users. community platform.


As mentioned earlier, different communities differ in many ways because of their genetic differences. And content-oriented communities provide a solid guarantee for people to connect. Listen to his words and watch his actions. Communities that output content can rely on the content to gain an in-depth understanding of each other's business capabilities, professional level and spiritual world. The mutual recognition of output content from the same community makes their connection and fit higher than that of general communities (such as overseas purchasing groups).

The author has to repeat here again. Regarding the difference between a community and a community, the author mentioned in the second part of this series. are nearly equivalent. Therefore, whether the daigou group is a community, in fact, the answer is yes, it is a tangible and concrete community.

The small circle of technical people often has the characteristics of high degree of fit and high stake. People can gather a large number of seniors by participating in preparatory technical activities, and raise their own value through the halo of seniors. This kind of connection between people is a very weak connection. The connection that relies on general interests often turns into a strong side looking down on the weaker side. This is more common in the world of technical people who are not good at expressing and communicating.

The benign interaction in the small circle of technicians often starts from the mutual support of business, affirming the other party's efforts through euphemistic dialogue, and modestly putting forward their own plans and opinions to obtain the euphemistic approval of the other party. This good atmosphere lays the foundation for further contact and communication between the two parties. A friend of the author, Meng Meng, once privately joked that "any technical disagreement is not a disagreement", and then added that "this also provides an excuse for "technological innocence"." But the author believes that as long as there is no potential or actual loss in fact, then the technology is still that pure technology. Of course, the author did not intend to fight for Wang Xin's case.

The community of technical people is a platform for mutual affirmation in technology and mutual appreciation in personality. By sharing their own views, opinions or solutions, they can communicate and communicate, and finally form a win-win or multi-win.


People like a community, join a community, work hard in the community, make friends in the community, and even become good friends with each other. This is a progressive process. The circle of technicians is expressed as the judging criteria centered on business level and technical ability, becoming a fan of a great god, and learning from a great bull. Obviously, the community did not actually participate in the in-depth process of presenting the funnel shape. In short, the precipitation of the community may not have much cause and effect to the community, but has a greater relationship with the strategy of the community operator, which will be expanded in the fifth part of this series.

It's hard to tell what should and shouldn't be in the tech world, just as you can't be sure how many rules there are. But it is undeniable that there are disputes in the rivers and lakes, and there are contradictions in the technical community, but obviously, these contradictions should not appear in the pure technical community - the reason has been mentioned above, technical differences are not differences - Obviously, these contradictions have gone far beyond the scope of technology.

Grassian warns in his book of wisdom that everything a man does and whatever he says has a purpose. If the contradiction in the technical community is not a technical disagreement, then there must be other purposes behind it. Professor Jin Zhengkun, a professor at the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China, pointed out when interpreting the book of wisdom, that any purpose of a person can point to material interests. So, are there any material interests behind the contradictions of non-technical differences? The author believes that it will take time to test everything.

A few days ago, in the event about the exit of LLVM developers, senior developer Rafael announced that he had parted ways with the project due to dissatisfaction with the changes in the community. The reason for Rafael's departure from the community was not a huge divide in technology, but because "he was very unhappy that LLVM was working with Outreachy, an organization that openly discriminates on the basis of gender and ancestry."

The author is not a fan of conspiracy theories, but in any case, it is not convenient for the community itself to penetrate into the atmosphere of money worship, materialism and impetuousness, and it is not convenient for community builders to have content that challenges the bottom line of community builders’ ethics, cultural traditions, and political ideas. After removing these impure elements, whether it is the concept of a boundless and boundless community or a tangible community that people figuratively, people can bathe in full freedom without any scruples, and a tangible community can better tap their potential in their respective fields. , for better community content. In this good atmosphere, people do not have to expose unnecessary privacy in exchange for access, nor do they have to worry about being expelled for their words and deeds, and the community of this good atmosphere naturally diverges from hegemonism.

The circle of technical people has never been so pure.

The power to divide the circle of technologists has always come from outside the technological world.
