Yesterday I reposted a CSDN report on Chinese developers. The content is worth reading. The report is very long, with more than 10,000 words. It is estimated that few people read yesterday’s tweet carefully.
I will now extract some interesting data and talk about my views. (The premise of talking about these views is that this report is accurate)
Data show that in the past three years, the number of developers under the age of 30 has been declining year by year, from 81% in 2021, 78% in 2022, to 71% this year. In stark contrast, the number of practitioners over the age of 40 has risen from 3% last year to 7% this year.
Therefore, according to the data, the anxiety belonging to the "35-year-old age" may be constantly being dispelled with the rapid iteration of the technological Internet.
In fact, we can easily observe or guess this point. The decline in the proportion of young developers can be seen from the large layoffs in the Internet industry in the past two years. Money-making fringe business.
It's layoffs and recruitment cuts. Moreover, given the current situation of the Internet industry, many young people may no longer pursue the Internet industry, and the popularity may decline. Therefore, the decline in the proportion is reasonable.
Regarding this point of view, I also said similar content in the article the day before yesterday.
Now the employment situation of all age groups is very severe. The most serious is not the 35-year-old mid-life crisis group, but the 16-24 age group.
The reason is also very simple, this age group is a newcomer.
From the perspective of the current environment and the company, young people in this age group are actually not competitive because they lack experience. As far as the current general environment is concerned, we have also seen that some large companies in the Internet industry are laying off employees. Why are they laying off employees? Many people ask whether layoffs can solve the problem? In essence, it is not layoffs. It is essentially that the company is cutting off marginal businesses that do not make money. The layoff of business involves layoffs, not layoffs for the sake of layoffs.
In other words, the era of rapid development has passed, and economic growth has reached a bottleneck period. The next step is to choose the best from the best, that is, whoever can create value will stay; whichever business is more profitable will be retained. .
what does that mean? It means that the era of enterprises pursuing cost-effectiveness and rapid expansion is over. Therefore, if you are young and inexperienced, no matter how cheap you are, the enterprise will not recruit again.
In fact, we can see signs of this from the manpower reform and organizational reform actions of several major Internet companies this month.
WeChat has completely stopped recruiting in autumn, and Douyin, Alibaba’s Taotian Group and Tencent are all preparing to carry out human resource reforms.
What do the dynamics behind these workforce reforms mean?
It means that the era of blind expansion of the Internet is completely over, and has entered the era of refined operations, but any business that does not make money should be abolished or closed.
Judging from the current adjustments of these large factories, there is basically one characteristic: to reduce the difficulty of the promotion process for grassroots employees, and at the same time weaken the relationship between salary and promotion, that is, promotion does not necessarily increase salary.
Anyway, whoever can make money is king, and whoever can make money is the main force.
In this context, if a person wants to stand out and enter the core of the organization, experience and ability become important at the same time. In terms of ability, technology is of course the most important thing for programmers. However, just knowing technology may not necessarily create value. After all, technology is just a tool. When you apply technology to the corresponding scene, you can solve specific problems. value can only be created when
Therefore, if you understand the business, understand the market, and have insight, judgment, and product power, you will be more popular. This kind of soft power requires experience accumulation. With experience accumulation and experience, your vision will be taller than others. This ability is not something newcomers can learn in a short time.
This means that programmers who understand both business and technology may not need to eat youth.
The above are all pure nonsense, if they are different, bear with yourself. Ha ha……
