Recently, the word "consumption downgrade" has been frequently mentioned by everyone. On a certain page, the "Has consumption downgraded today" group has a resident population of 360,000, and on a certain book, there are nearly 70,000 notes related to consumption downgrade...Many netizens posted about their life after consumption downgrade: from Starbucks a cup a day to Michelle Ice City ;
However, as the saying goes: money is earned, not saved. While "reducing expenditure", "open source" is also very important. As a result, many people have pondered the matter of "side hustle", and many fans in the dark horse group often ask: "Is it reliable to have a side hustle?", "What side hustles can programmers do?".
If you think Boniu recommends a side job, you are wrong! Today, we don’t make “recommendations” for everyone, we will take you to “avoid pitfalls”. Below, Boniu summarizes three side jobs that programmers are strongly not recommended to do . Let’s take a look!
The first:
Simple manual labor part-time job
We all know that programmers, as mental workers, are very tired when they go to work, and they need to take a full rest after get off work. Part-time jobs such as food delivery, leaflet distribution, and Didi are purely based on time and physical strength in exchange for money, which makes me very tired and affects my work the next day. The price/performance ratio is extremely low.
If you are really short of money, there is nothing wrong with relying on it to make a small amount of money "short and fast", but this kind of manual labor part-time job cannot improve your ability in any aspect, and it is the least recommended part-time job. It's better to use spare time to read various technical books, do review, and charge the phone. I believe that in time, programmers can earn N times this money back.
The second type:
So-called investments such as stocks and funds
Although Boniu herself does not trade in stocks, there are many programmer friends around her who trade in stocks, and almost none of them make money. The risk of stocks is very high. If you are not rich enough, when the stocks lose money, it will have a serious negative impact on your life.
Moreover, stock trading needs to keep an eye on the market, and it is necessary to analyze the fundamentals, news, technical aspects of the stock, etc. Most programmers are very saturated with daily work and do not have the time and energy .
To sum up, it is recommended not to use amateur stock knowledge and so little capital to challenge other people's majors. You can't make much money if you play too small, but you will lose all your money if you play too big. It is recommended to stay away from it.
The third type:
Online brushing
Everyone should be familiar with the slogan "Anyone who swipes bills is a fraud", but at the same time, the number of fraudulent cases of swiping rebates remains high. Searching for part-time jobs on the Internet, swiping bills often use "easy work, daily wages, and generous rewards" as a bait to attract unsuspecting young people into the trap by mistake.
Many people still have a fluke mentality about "swiping orders". At first glance, it sounds good, and you can get paid without any effort. But Boniu clearly tells you that since 2019, the country has clearly stipulated that brushing orders is an illegal act, so don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. Many people who have just tasted the sweetness at the beginning have turned a big somersault in the end.
The news of cheating by brushing orders is not uncommon:

As a programmer, we strongly encourage everyone to do side jobs, but what needs to be reminded is that after solving the problem of food and clothing, those "low cost-effective" side jobs should not be considered. Only by using intelligence and mobile Internet can we cross classes and create real wealth.
No matter which side hustle you choose, it is essential that you always keep learning and improving yourself. A dark horse senior once said before, " A side job is just a small amount of money, and improving one's professional ability is the kingly way. " There are countless seniors graduating from the dark horse every year. They use the dark horse as a "springboard", use technology to open up their own new era, and realize their ideals in life!
In the future, all industries will inevitably enter the era of digitalization and intelligence, and the demand for information technology talents in various industries is extensive and strong.
Dark Horse Programmer has been deeply involved in IT education for 17 years and has set up 9 popular disciplines, including: JavaEE, HTML&JS+ front-end, Python+ big data development, artificial intelligence development, e-commerce visual design, software testing, new media + short video live broadcast operation, product manager, and integrated circuit application development (including embedded ) .
Finally, Boniu would like to say something to all aspiring young people: Many things do not take action only when there is hope, but only action can lead to hope. It's not scary to be confused, what's scary is that you've been hesitating and lingering in the same place, refusing to move forward.
Youth is just right, age is in full bloom, give yourself a chance, choose a dark horse, and become a dark horse!
