In this sense, writing code in Beijing is a very promising thing. Write and write, and you’ll be asking for a hundred. I’m not talking about the WPS blockbuster, how hard it is to write code quietly in Beijing these days.
If you’re a Programmer in Beijing with ten years of experience, I can probably tell what your work history is. Ten years ago, you wrote code in the second ring road, eight years ago, you wrote code in the third ring road, five years ago, you wrote code in the fourth ring road near Zhichun Road, two years ago (or five or six years ago) you have moved to the West Erqi software park, or in the changping software park more than twenty kilometers away.
Five years ago, I moved into a bungalow at the west gate of Tsinghua University. Three years ago, the price of bungalow rose. I was so angry that I moved into the basement. In ten years, you get better at writing code every year, but you’re living down the stairs.
What’s wrong with this world? You write code as hard as Qiubaijun, and you have made a more complex system than WPS. Qiubaijun entered the hospital, and you also entered the hospital.
Zhongguancun software Park, even a restaurant, shops and clinics are difficult to find a place, your hometown county is more prosperous than this place. If you miss the working meal in the canteen, the delivery man may not even want to call. If the company has arranged overtime and there is no canteen to provide overtime meals, the most reliable plan is to bring meals to work overtime. In Beijing, zhongguancun software Park is the place with the highest density of code farmers. In Beijing, the most reliable way to get to and from work is by subway. 80% of the young men and women on the subway either write code or test code. Zhongguancun software park nearest subway station is west of commuter trains, a software company about one to three kilometers from the west of city, it is the one to three kilometers, on average, it takes about 30 minutes, whether you are driving by bus or ride a bike on foot, this is little not 30 minutes, because the factory after village and shangdi west road intersection, how do you also not the past.
If you want to write code in Beijing, you must be at least a 211 or 985 university graduate, preferably a postgraduate, with this hard index, you can enter a regular company, a regular job, five insurances and one housing fund guarantee. If you are a junior college student or a third-rate university student, a startup company is your best choice to enter the software industry in Beijing. But don’t worry, the programmers trained by the startup company are often more popular than the regular army in the industry after a few years.
Find someone give you pay, you should consider writing code, first pay, and this part can not ignore, Beijing is a welfare system is very perfect company, all kinds of social welfare may eat you up one-third of the wages, in those days, I was in financial trouble, is to render an account to your parents didn’t say understand this problem.
Next, you want to take out 5000 yuan monthly budget to rent a house, the house of Beijing is bet one pays 3, there are 20000 oceans in your account, just have sense of security. If it is in the vicinity of the software Park or in the city, you can’t rent a proper house from 5000 RMB. Renting qun is a rational choice. I have opened zhongguancun a door of two rooms and one hall, bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet a total of more than 30 men and women. People lived here, practice a skill, that is more susceptible to when nature calls can suppress 30 minutes, 30 minutes with this, have you found a toilet at a nearby store enough, if lucky, you can also run near to the company or university, where conditions, better still, you can relax in the toilet to do homework.
If you don’t want to live so hard, the ant colony in Shigezhuang or Shahe might be a good choice, and then you have to face the problem that you may be 10 to 30 kilometers away from where you work writing code. There were subways, there were buses, there were didi buses. If you’re not fit enough, or if you’re a girl, the bus and subway can be a nightmare because it’s so crowded. In Zhuxinzhuang station and Life Science Park station, not to mention the five-shaped baguaarray that the station must pass through, the subway train is lined up at every door of a long queue of more than ten meters. As soon as the train stops, the strong boys in the queue of more than ten meters rush into the train Shouting slogans together. A station, was already not close the door, finally get on the car’s face has been posted on the door glass, but even so crowded of trunk, in the impact of this round, the original people are near the door would rush to the other side of the trunk, the world is so wonderful, the capacity of the train is infinite, no matter how crowded, always crowded.
If you can’t take the metro bus and don’t have didi bus, then your only option is to ride a bike. Do not think that riding you will avoid the crowded, from Changping to Haidian, to cross the G6,G7 two high-speed, no overpass, no bike lane, you have to ride with private cars and buses, a little impulse is not careful, a small life. Under Xinzhuang Bridge, bicycles are waiting in the middle of the road for the green light to cross. Because the green light is only a matter of seconds, and if it goes any slower you’ll have to wait another ten minutes. In this case, the motor vehicles are rushed forward with the accelerator, the automatic car did not have the accelerator, have to go to the middle of the intersection crowded, the motor vehicle thought the bicycle to break, but also increase the accelerator, at least to ensure that they are not blocked by non-motor vehicles.
If you’re used to such dangerous traffic, you can get through the summer and fall happily, even if the occasional rain or wind doesn’t affect your coding happiness. But to the winter, can be miserable, you know, Beijing winter morning, more than 10 degrees below zero 12 level wind is common, this if met 12 level wind, to ride a bicycle more than 20 kilometers, too terrible.
Once the problem of living and traveling is solved, you can write code quietly in Beijing. As for clothes and food, as a qualified programmer, it is normal to wear the same clothes for more than ten years.
Back to the question at the beginning, how hard is it to write code in Beijing? It’s about as hard as it gets. Writing code in Beijing is definitely exciting. If you have solved the above house and car problems before writing code, or if you have a good father and you still want to get a job writing code in Beijing, I can only say that your mind must be stuck in the box.
I will never write code in Beijing if I am not forced by life or a person who pursues ideals.
