Just rely on technology to make a living? (zt)

Most of the views in "Don't rely on technology for a lifetime" are already very old, and now technical people are becoming more and more rational, and they all understand what the article says, that it is difficult for technology to be exchanged for a stable life and high salary. Let's look at it from two perspectives here. Everyone knows that stability and high salary are relative. For example, which one is more stable in life (not work) between engineers and salesmen? Engineers can go to work at 8 am and go home at 5 pm to accompany their parents, wives and children. Is it okay for salesmen? Visiting customers during the day and accompanying customers to drink and sing karaoke at night (generally speaking, customers are not willing to drink and sing karaoke, and at this time the salesmen have to repeatedly ask customers to show their favor, which everyone understands as soon as I say it), you can imagine how it feels.
I dare to conclude that the person who wrote the article "Don't rely on technology for a lifetime" is not from other industries, but a complaint from a person who is not successful in technology. There is also an article "As engineers, our sadness". In fact, there is no need to be sad. What's the point of being sad? The person who wrote this article is very kind. When I went to the talent market to recruit people with the personnel department, I couldn't bear to reject some job seekers. But it's completely unnecessary to talk about sadness. You look at the fool as pitiful, and the fool looks at you as more pitiful. It's not necessarily clear who is more pitiful
. I've gone off topic and continued to discuss "Don't rely on technology for a lifetime". The original intention of this article is good, which is to tell technical people not to get stuck in a dead end, too arrogant, and not to focus on technology. But the expression is a bit extreme, which can easily mislead some future technical elites who are wandering halfway to a road of no return. After so many years of development, the arrogant thinking of electronic engineers has long been trampled by current practice. This is a good thing and a sign of maturity. It is no longer appropriate for this article to become a hot topic on 2@1IC. Now we are in our 30s. We know that some of the salesmen who debuted at the same time as us have become bosses, and some are regional managers. Their income is naturally much higher than ours, but you will find that all kinds of medicines will also fill their desks and handbags. At the Hong Kong Exhibition in October last year, more than 20 people from our company went, including the general manager, sales, and technical staff. Everyone finally came to Hong Kong, and purchasing was inevitable. The things that engineers bought were mainly mobile phones, watches, PDAs, MP4s, etc., and the business managers, without exception, each bought a large bag of medicine worth tens of thousands of yuan. I was very surprised why they went to Hong Kong to buy medicine. They said that the medicine in Hong Kong is more real than that in the mainland. I said this without any other meaning. Everyone has their own way of living, and it is hard to say who is more exciting.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships, the circle is indeed smaller than that of doing business. A person's personality determines his choice of career. Generally speaking, technical people don't like to be lively. Why force people who don't like to be lively to be lively? The article "Don't rely on technology for a lifetime" has this orientation, which is unreasonable. The article gives an example of someone who didn't see his girlfriend for two months in order to rush a project. I would say that if "someone" exists, then he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend, and there is no question of how long he hasn't seen her. Engineers are not Lei Feng, and even if they are, they can't always be Lei Feng. An engineer friend of mine is definitely a technical backbone of the company. He is working on an automotive electronics cooperation project with Shanghai Volkswagen. The time is very tight, but his wife (who is taken care of by her parents in her hometown in Anhui) is due on October 21, 2009. He said he would go back to watch on October 14. Of course, the company disagreed and asked him to go back later. My friend said, no, I will go back even if I don't work. In the end, the company compromised. I give this example to tell everyone not to demonize electronic engineers. Electronic engineers also have their own circles, friends, and family ties. No one is a fool, and no one will sacrifice for the boss for free.
Reality tells everyone that the success rate of technical entrepreneurship is indeed not as high as that of business entrepreneurship. The article mentioned that you can go to the market to recruit technical personnel. I can tell you that the market can also recruit business personnel. Don't look at the problem in isolation, so as not to belittle yourself. Leaders and business say that technology is a coding machine, and leaders and business are idiots when it comes to technology. They don't understand such common sense. Who doesn't talk about others behind their backs, and who doesn't get talked about behind their backs? Really, don't worry too much.
Another way of saying it is that the core technology is not ours, and China has no technology. This question is not about this article, but I think it is necessary to explain it together. We should never forget that we are all application engineers. It's enough to use it. If we make it into a product that can meet mass consumption, we will succeed. Let the Chinese academicians think about the rest. For example, if the core technology is sword forging, we don't need to master how to forge swords. It's enough to use swords. If you practice "Dugu Jiujian", you will be invincible in the world. Bricklayers also don't need to know how bricks are made.
Finally, to summarize, why I didn't write the title "Refuting "Don't rely on technology for a lifetime"", because some of the views in this article are reasonable, and they have a good effect on some hot-headed "technical angry youth". If you can understand it correctly, it is of course a good thing, but if you can't understand it, you will go to extremes, giving people the feeling that doing technology is not as good as doing business. In addition, I think the word "混" in the original title is not used properly. People who do technology can make a living with technology, and they can make a living for a lifetime. When people who don't understand technology compete with those who do, those who don't understand technology are just filling in the gaps and "muddling". Friends who love technology and use it as a tool to make a living are the happiest. They can satisfy others and entertain themselves. Why not? Firmly follow your own technical path and don't look back easily.
