Hello everyone, I am the principal.
In recent days, Huang Xitong, Tencent's front-end development leader, former technical director of Tencent Qzone, and T13 expert, was revealed by his wife to have resigned. According to reports, he seems to have been laid off.
According to the official website of Tencent Cloud, Huang Xitong is the leader of front-end development, former Tencent Cloud evangelist, Tencent's first Web front-end expert, T4 expert, special lecturer of Tencent Academy, member of W3C Advisory Committee, China Information Accessibility Products Alliance and China Information Technology Public Welfare Alliance the initiator.
Since joining Tencent as the first full-time web front-end developer in 2005, he has been focusing on the research, practice and knowledge sharing of web front-end, cloud computing and network optimization related technical fields for a long time. barrier enabler.
According to previous reports, Huang Xitong once promoted the launch of the 404 family search page project within Tencent, transformed Tencent's 404 page into information about missing children, and launched a city-wide assistance project on mobile QQ to find lost children and help "baby go home" The forum provides cloud services against hacker attacks.
Regarding the reasons for the layoffs, his wife speculated that: he did not take up a management position, did not manage upwards, and did not want to be PUAed.
The specific revelations are as follows:
After reading it, I want to say: Technical experts at this level have not yet achieved wealth freedom, which is really beyond my expectations. Perhaps, everyone’s understanding of wealth freedom is different, but this level is in Tencent The benefits are definitely not bad.
The reason for the parting ways this time may be caused by two reasons: personality and philosophy.
From the point of view of personality, the news from his wife is that he is unwilling and unable to manage upwards, and he is unwilling to transfer to management. He only cares about technology. I don't think this is a big problem. Those who do technology have a kind of technical sentiment, that is, they just like to write codes and do technology, and they don't have to be so upset when dealing with technology. After all, dealing with people is too troublesome and intriguing.
When I started my own business, I was very upset dealing with customers, and I was too tired. I felt that writing code could calm people down, especially when I developed a very good product and many people used it. That kind of achievement The happiness brought by the feeling is self-evident.
This also shows from the side that our domestic commercial companies may not be inclusive and tolerant when it comes to letting employees take the purely technical route. Perhaps this is why we are unable to make more technological innovations in our country, and can only do so at the application level. for business development.
This is also a problem of philosophy. I believe that a company as big as Tencent, with such a big platform and with so many projects, definitely does not want Huang Xitong to leave. I hope he stays in Tencent. This is just the current development direction of Tencent. Or the technical route provided is not Huang Xitong's ideal.
Of course, this kind of bigwig-level expert must have a family background, and with such strong ability, he doesn't have to worry about work, so he doesn't have to look for a job. They are all looking for him, so we don't have to worry about it.
However, this incident gives us a general inspiration:
1. If you want to get along well in the company, you really have to learn to communicate with leaders, learn to communicate upwards, and don't do it yourself. It is better to restrain the stubbornness and stubborn temper of our technical people a little bit.
2. The environment of our domestic commercial companies is too inclusive for those who take the purely technical route.
3. If you want to develop in the workplace, technology transfer to management seems to be the path that most people must choose.
4. Whether it is to learn to manage upwards or to switch to management in the future, this requires us technical personnel not to be too introverted, but to strengthen our communication skills, presentation skills and leadership. In particular, communication and expression, this is a sign of a bright future.
Finally, I would like to say: In an environment where product competition is so introverted, if future commercial companies want to come out, they should think carefully about how to maximize the value of those purely technical people and people who love technology, so that It may be the best for them to be able to run quietly all the way under the technical route. After all, the competition of products is only the surface, and the competition of core technologies is the core and the lifeblood of the future.
