Just this morning, I received a message about Ren Zhengfei saying: "A person who has been on the battlefield and shot a gun cannot be the chief officer." Suddenly I realize why programmers can't be at the top. Product managers are higher than project managers in the company's position, and creativity is more useful than technology. Now technology in the IT industry is no longer a bottleneck, and the bottlenecks are concentrated in creativity, new Conceptually, I am a senior programmer and have many opportunities to be promoted, but I was defeated in the competition. The boss's words were: "It's not that you are not good, but that I can't think of going with me to solve the problem. The way of thinking is too simple, don’t always think about using technology to solve problems, and don’t raise the difficulties of technical realization, because everything you can think of can be realized, it is nothing more than a relationship between more money and less money.” He is right. The biggest misunderstanding of programmers is that they want to use technology to solve any problem. From the perspective of technology, if they think the project is simple, they will not see other problems. If the project is difficult, they will be full of thoughts. It is also a technical solution, and it is difficult for those caught in it to extricate themselves.
At this time last year, I started a business. The problem I encountered on the way of starting a business was that I didn’t have any problems at all, and I didn’t realize the direction at all. In conclusion, the reason for starting a business was because I felt that my technology was excellent, and there would definitely be a way out, but I was slapped in the face. No pain, no itch, just humiliation.
If you go back to the beginning of the business last year, you must choose a path for the company and follow it firmly, the situation will be much better, and it will not be impossible to persist in the end.
The most important thing on the road of starting a business is to be able to convince myself and others about the entrepreneurial ideas. This is much more important than technology. I want to start preparing for the next business.
