I just put down the phone in the middle of the night and explained my current company situation to a colleague who was going to take a leave to travel
A few minutes ago, I was going through the list of employees and entry information with the company’s personnel department
A few minutes ago, I run an article, this is 3 years ago I and jiang 昪 do things every day, is also the most important thing nuggets
A few weeks ago, the company had the groundwork for the next step, and I was wondering how to continue to make Nuggets the best developer community there is
Two months ago, I organized the first Nuggets developer conference with this incredibly young team, and it was hard, but we survived
A year ago, a small team of us had been working on a nugget at Microsoft Accelerator for two months and was just getting ready to launch
Two years ago, we just moved from The Great Bell Temple to Wangjing SOHO. Our company seems to be on the brink of extinction. We reconstructed our business for half a year
Three years ago, the company started to recruit the first batch of employees from me and Jiang 昪 2. I am very grateful to several people who accompany us to today
Trance, all this seems to have happened yesterday, I remember every time everyone to my criticism, I remember every time there is a beloved employee leave I will silently sentimental, I remember every time and someone quarrel about business development, I remember every time after midnight dial the phone and jiang 昪 chat until dawn.
Who would have thought, the company is so big, nuggets are already more than 3 years old. Today, the nuggets team had a difficult decision to make. Considering the company’s cash flow situation, I decided to lay off employees and cut costs. We promise to pay full compensation for each and every one of our employees. We do our best to be responsible to the end.
Thinking about every we recruited people seriously, today is gone, and may have not completed the bug yesterday, may also contact just docking technology team, activities may be executed in has been lecturer again and again to change PPT, may have been fighting for months a good developer finally decided to write the nuggets of small volume, Maybe the customer can finally pay by the end of this week.
I’m sorry
This sentence expresses my apology to every employee who has made a great contribution to the company. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry I didn’t try hard enough. Even though I sensed early on that this year was going to be a bad year for capital, even as I watched friends liquidate or lay off one company after another, I wasn’t able to move the company in a better direction as quickly as I could.
Sorry the company is not focused enough, we should choose a single goal to focus on, to be the first in the industry to maintain a mature and healthy business income. Every day a startup doesn’t grow fast or increase revenue, it’s close to death.
I am sorry that I failed to fully manage the company. When the team was expanding, I could not better know how to make good use of people and make good use of every colleague, and point out the problems and mistakes at the first time, even if it was a little fierce, I must tell you how to do things well.
I’m sorry that I didn’t spend more energy on staff growth, constantly understand your needs and share my understanding, and use my limited knowledge and thinking as much as possible to help you understand the world faster and better and the goals we want to achieve.
I am sorry that AT the beginning of the year I said THAT I would set sail this year, but I have not been able to continue to ride the waves on the road, and must hit the rocks and start again.
thank you
Thank you so good you want to join the not mature team, we have been very, very seriously, for each and every one of us will communicate back and forth many times, and every one to one by one to write down our recognition and worry, every one of you to join all make the nuggets a better team.
Thank you for rushing about for every offline activity. No matter where you are, we will always ensure that we arrive on time, place the roll-up, put the gold badge and gifts, and ensure a complete attendance. We can’t put up a booth and not really talk to the developers at the conference, because every platform is part of the nugget.
Thank you for your contribution to every salon and live broadcast. We will always ensure the quality of content, confirm the theme, review the speech content and recruit participants. We can’t leave the Nuggets salon by the wayside and the brand messed up, because every event and livestream of instructors and participants is part of the Nuggets.
Thank you for following up and fixing every release update, bug fix, and we always want to ensure that the product is stable and functional. We can’t leave the wrong product in the hands of the developer who knows the best about product development, because our website, apps, and plug-ins are part of the gold mine.
Thank you for correcting the expression and punctuation of each brochure. We always look at the brochure topic from a real need problem. We can’t hand over content to developers that we can’t help readers with. We have to pay the authors on time, because every good author and their content is part of the gold mine.
Thank you for reviewing every technical article on Nuggets. We will always insist on the quality of our content. We can no longer be a community of worthless, unproductive developers, developers need to grow by consuming better content, because every developer is part of Nuggets.
Each of these parts makes up the community, the team, and the community into a work that we don’t regret. Every year, the nuggets active users have multiplied, growth is not falling, every month has more than 1.15 million active users, and the biggest technical articles in English translation, at the same time, the Denver nuggets in all young developer community to keep with the fastest growth rate, consumption status of the most active users, the highest proportion of original technical articles. Each of these “maxims” is the result of a lot of effort, making Nuggets truly a community of help for developers.
Finally, thank you to every developer and user for tolerating the growing pains of nuggets. Every day, all the time, I read the user’s evaluation and feedback on our products. Every one-star review, every joke, every user’s criticism of jinxing on Weibo and wechat group, the team takes it to heart.
Why don’t we start over
It was late at night, and in a few hours I had to face what had to happen. Some people accompany, some people leave.
I want to make it the largest developer community in China, to help developers grow, to help new technologies spread, and to help companies apply the latest technologies faster. This bump in the road doesn’t cut the team off from what it wants to do. We’re going to prioritise monetization and move forward, with the number of active developers as our only goal. The remaining team must be entrepreneurial mentality, focus on this goal, for themselves, for the team, for this goal!
Over the years, when Nuggets really became a community that developers depended on, millions of developers visited us every day for content. One night, as I lay my chin on the gold mine, I would think of the 49 brothers who made it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Some people accompany, some people leave. Why don’t we start over.
