The other day when I was eating Xiao Yang Shengjian with my wife, we talked about how the crabmeat shengjian nowadays doesn’t have much flavor, which reminds me of myself and the programmer community.

Every year from March to May is the crab active time, Qingming home is also eaten to fire, gradually now the supermarket basically do not see the figure of the crab, even if there is a small, no desire to let people buy. Poor crabs a year of high light moment is only a few months, or to pay the price of life.

Programmer groups, the rise of the Internet industry, some people for the so-called good environment, or aura, came to the so-called Internet factory, the entry on a top set of Mac and 4k display, which is like those large-scale farms, inside the crab every day someone to feed the food, but also basically do not have to worry about the natural enemies, crab ponds around the green, a thriving look. But these crabs are raised so fat result is on the people’s table, the results of the Internet factory employees are mostly in their own most young and capable when the output of their own light and heat, wrote a bunch of code, made a bunch of products, but the last to be remembered only the boss.

And some programmers, may also be very strong in their own ability, but choose to start their own business. This is like some crabs are self-sufficient, may encounter natural enemies directly be eaten, or may live well, their own ability is also very comprehensive.

But most people, can not go to the big factory, also not capable of entrepreneurship, went to a small company, just like some small farms, their own are precarious, and how to expect him to raise you well?

I’m talking about the programmer community, but can it be expanded to a larger community? I think it can.
