My name is Liu Xiaoban, I am 32 years old, and I am a Beijinger who has been a programmer for eight years. In 2012, I stepped into the programming industry amidst the rising tide of the Internet. I didn’t expect that I would fall into the “programmer middle-aged crisis” that was spread in the Internet circles before I was 35 years old.
In the past few years, I have encountered a bottleneck in the workplace. After the outbreak of the epidemic, I have suffered salary cuts and unemployment one after another . People say that one stands at thirty, but I am more confused than when I was young when I entered middle age. It seems that the older I am, the farther away I am from my dream of financial freedom and a comfortable life.

In the photos taken by my wife on Qixi Festival this year, when everyone mentions programmers, they think of hair loss and plaid shirts. I don’t have any of these points.
I am a native of Beijing, and I grew up in the alleys of the East Second Ring Road. Many people are envious when they hear this, but in fact, I don’t have the slightest advantage of being registered in Beijing. There is nothing special about living under the former imperial city. The biggest influence on me is my attitude towards life.
Life in the hutongs is relatively Buddhist, and the neighbors are very close. When you meet an elder on the road, he will greet you and ask, "Have you eaten yet?" There is no toilet in the courtyard, so everyone goes out to use the public toilet together. When I was young, I often participated in the "chatting conference" in the alleys, and listened to the adults chatting about national affairs from their parents. My life was simple and happy.
The hutong in front of my house can still see the style of old Beijing.
Growing up in this environment, I became a very obedient person, only willing to do what I like . When I was in elementary school, my biggest hobby was to go skating in Houhai with Faxiao, and I especially liked playing football in the alleys. From time to time, I go to the east's house for a meal, and the west's house to play for a while. When I went to junior high school, I was still like a child, without the concept of dream in my mind at all.
I used to think that the whole world was as big as the third ring road in Beijing. Until 2001, when I entered the second year of junior high school, my family bought a "big bun-style" computer. Through that thin network cable, I saw the bigger world for the first time. At that time, I would never have imagined that staring at the computer all day became my normal state after work...
After the college entrance examination in 2006, I followed my parents' advice and chose a junior college in Beijing majoring in construction engineering management. As an eighteen-year-old adult, I didn’t know what construction management was about or where I would work in the future , so I entered the university ignorantly.
I just became an adult (first from the right), next to Fa Xiao who grew up in the alley.
In school, like many college students nowadays, I choose to "live in the moment", and as long as I don't go to class, I hang around with my roommates. It wasn't until I went to the construction site as an intern for two months in the year of graduation, and suddenly came into contact with reality, that I realized that I seemed to be on the wrong road .
My internship is in a project team of a construction company. Due to the need to follow up the progress of the project, I stay in the project department every day. Go to work at 9 am and leave work at 5 pm. After eating in the cafeteria at noon, you can also go to the dormitory to rest for 2 hours. The work and rest are very regular. Some of my colleagues around me are in charge of construction supervision, some are in charge of engineering water and electricity, some are in charge of progress, and some are in charge of structure .
Most of them are in their thirties, married and have families. In spare time, everyone gathers together to chat, and it is nothing more than questions about the parents' short stories, trivial matters, "where does our child go to school" and other issues. I can't get my tongue in, and I'm not interested . At that time, I felt that there was a fire in my heart, and I always felt that I was out of place with this circle.
My college diploma, three years of schooling.
At the age of 20, I don't want the life of "retirement" . I didn't want to go into the construction industry and didn't know what else I could do. Later, I remembered the photography I have always liked since I was in college, and I learned that there is a kind of work called "design", so I started to make efforts in this field. Not only bought books for self-study, but also signed up for several training courses in the direction of design.
I'm particularly interested in photography, and my parents sponsored me a camera in college.
I came into contact with design because of my hobby, but as I got to know more about it, I found that I have many shortcomings. Compared with those who have studied painting for more than ten years and have a solid foundation in art, I am a "crash" , with a weak foundation. Might not last a few years.
At that time, I knew that design and page production are upstream and downstream. Design and make a visual rendering of the webpage, and then the technical staff will code the page and let it run on the background server of the website. Considering that this kind of purely technical position does not require "children's skills", I started to learn programming again, and wanted to transition to page production , which was later commonly known as a "front-end engineer" on the Internet.
Starting from scratch, I can only start with relevant positions before considering transformation. In 2012, at the height of the Internet, I entered Beijing iQiyi, which was in its infancy. With a salary of 6,000 yuan, I did some work in promoting web pages in the video content department.
When I was working in Beijing, I crowded the subway to commute like all the North Drifters.
Even in Beijing at that time, a monthly salary of 6,000 was still a very low level in the Internet industry . But that was the hardest I've worked for a while. Not only did I complete the work on time, but I also raced against time to read some coding books during the break.
In the company, I am also very active. For example, when a front-end coder leaves his job and there are one or two web pages or projects that need to be promoted urgently, I will tell the leader "I can do this" . Although it is only a small case, it can win an opportunity to express itself. I watched video tutorials while doing it, and accumulated a little bit from easy to difficult.
It was also during the work of iQiyi that I met my later wife. At the beginning of 2013, the company held its annual meeting in Beijing. She also came to participate as the director of the company's Chongqing region. At that time, a group of colleagues organized to sing in KTV, and she specially invited me to join. At that time, we knew each other's names. She saw my photo in the company photo and thought "this young man is very handsome". I also had a good impression of her, but we didn't know each other well .
The first day my girlfriend and I met was at the company's annual meeting, and my colleagues met to sing together.
After the annual meeting, the two of us happened to get on the same return bus. After getting on the bus, I saw that the seat next to her was empty, so I deliberately sat next to her and chatted along the way. At the beginning, I mainly talked about the company, and what I said was very polite. Later she asked for my WeChat, and asked me out for dinner that night. Because we like each other, the two of us quickly established a relationship.
After she returned to Chongqing after the annual meeting, she had a long-distance relationship with me for almost two months. **In the past two months, she has been thinking about it herself: Is it worth changing cities and jobs for this person I just met? **Finally, regardless of my parents’ objections, I bought a ticket and came to Beijing directly. The post was transferred to another department of the company, and my things were moved into the “old and broken house” I rented in Shengguli, the third ring road.
In 2014, the "old and small" rental house we lived in was quite messy due to the small space.
It was a six-story red brick building, and we lived on the top floor for 2,500 yuan a month. There is no elevator, there is no property in the community, and there are no supporting facilities. The decoration looks like it was in the 1980s and 1990s, and there are cockroaches and mice running around from time to time .
I have worked in the content department for two years, and my technical level has gradually reached the employment standards of the company's technical department. In the summer of 2015, the company happened to have an opportunity to transfer jobs. I proposed to transfer to the technical department, but ultimately failed.
My work card at iQiyi.
This incident stimulated me a lot, and I decided to leave iQiyi. In the same year when I left my job, I applied for an adult undergraduate course at Beijing Institute of Technology, learning Python.
After getting off work at 6 pm every day, I went back to the "Old Po Xiao" in the twilight of Beijing, and started studying after dinner until 12 pm. Although my family is in Beijing, I was in the same state as many Beidiao at that time. I only wanted to improve myself and make more money . At that time, I was young and had an online IQ. I passed the exam after reading the books for a month or two, and I didn't find it difficult.
After resigning from iQiyi, I entered a small start-up company as I wished to do Python development, completed the job jump, and my salary increased from 7k to 18k, which almost doubled . It didn’t take long for me to switch to the Gaode Map of the Ali Department. I still used the time after get off work every day and weekends to attend classes and complete homework, and finally successfully obtained my undergraduate diploma.
I am at the station of Gaode map.
After I arrived at the big factory, I realized the pressure of the programmers, working overtime every day, basically "996" . But the benefits and benefits of big companies are quite good. What makes me gratified is that the income has finally surpassed my previous self.
But looking at the "Escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" on the Internet, and looking at my two-point and one-line life, I am anxious about KPI, data, weekly and monthly reports, meetings, year-end awards every day, wondering if I can jump to one better platform.
Accumulate experience sharing
It is good to learn Python whether it is employment or sideline business to make money, but to learn Python, you still need a study plan. Finally, everyone will share a full set of Python learning materials to help those who want to learn Python!
1. Learning routes in all directions of Python
Just started learning python, if you don't even plan the complete learning steps, it is basically impossible to learn python. He sorted out all the directions of Python to form a summary of knowledge points in various fields.(The wife in the picture is too big. I can’t put it here. If you don’t have a full version, you can get it for free at the end of the article)
2. Getting started with a full set of learning videos
When we watch videos and learn, we can’t just move our eyes and brain without using our hands. A more scientific learning method is to use them after understanding. At this time, the hands-on project is very suitable.
Three, Python operation example
Learning python is the same as learning mathematics. You can’t just read the book without doing the questions. Looking directly at the steps and answers will make people mistakenly think that you have mastered everything, but you will still be at a loss when you encounter a problem.
Therefore, in the process of learning python, you must remember to write more codes by hand. You only need to read the tutorial once or twice.
4. Python employment project actual combat
We must learn Python to find a high-paying job or a high-paying part-time job. The following are some practical projects that companies can use. After learning these, I believe everyone will be able to find a satisfactory job.
11 Django Framework
16 WeChat public account
18 Common crawler module usage
…
21 Data Analysis
22 Machine Learning
There are other things, such as my own Python introductory graphic tutorials, you can use your mobile phone to learn knowledge when you don’t have a computer, and after learning the theory, you can type the code to practice verification, and there is also the library information of the Chinese version of Python. , MySQL and HTML tags, etc., these are things that can be given to fans.
Data collection
These are not very valuable things, but they are really good for learners who have no resources or the resources are not very good. If you can use it, you can scan the QR code of CSDN official certification below on WeChat [free access]↓↓↓ .
