Altruism, fun, a group of people, a sense of accomplishment, entrepreneurship is a practice of growth.
Hi, everyone, I’m Scott (Wechat Codingdreamer). I joined Ali in September 2010 and resigned from Song Xiaocai in May 2020. This is the biggest decision I made in the first half of 2020 and near the age of 32.
Before and after departure, there are quite a few old friends invited me to return to the ali, ali also has a lot of new friends invited me to join the new team, I picked out three of the most turning me on is the most recognized my team, put the chat logs in the article the beginning, everyone through my reply, should be able to feel my struggle, because be honest, the chances are very good, I also really tempted, Especially after zhen Er, a senior technical expert of ANT Financial P9, and Yu Bo, a researcher of Ant Financial P10 (also my idol), chatted with me for more than two hours, I hardly slept a wink in the following three days since the night before the chat.
Scott. Choose, go ahead
Yu Bo da’s words, precipitation in my heart, gave me full of courage, the first decade ended, the second decade ready to start.
Borrow this gold nuggets in the middle of the call for contributions, I also review the career and heart process of the first ten years of doing, including the first half of 2020 my biggest feeling, since it is submitted, you can click a like and a comment!
See here for the nuggets’ annual review of Scott’s 31-year-old debut.
Ten-year Technology Stack
I started to learn front-end technology in college in 2010. Since then, I have been learning new technology stacks and giving up old ones every year:
My insight is that the language/specifications/solutions/frameworks/endstates are changing, and so are the requirements for your skills in the front-end industry.
Ten-year Career Path
In 2010, I took the postgraduate entrance examination of Automation and Control Engineering of Zhejiang University. Although I passed the test score, I gave up the second test and was eager to work in Ali as the front end:
My understanding is that the workplace mind will go through these stages of survival, temptation, proof, realization, planning and re-selection. Each stage has a completely different psychological state and game breaking skills. At the core, it is a growing process for a student to integrate into the society, recognize himself and choose his life path twice.
My career has been divided into three periods:
- The first stage of technical training: the first 4 years – Ali mother front-end engineer
- Second commercial Realization: Middle 3 years – CTO of Overseas Study Rental Company
- Section 3 Technical management: In the past three years, Song Xiaocai was the head of the front end of Daeda
Front deep water zone
Nowadays, the front-end has been a difficult industry to define in a word. Recruitment teams find it difficult to recruit people, countless job seekers in the market (including a large number of online and offline training institutions) find it harder to find a good job, and it is even harder to enter big factories than to take the 985 exam. I wrote two articles last year to describe this phenomenon:
- The front end is in deep water
- Front end for the next 15 years
My perception is that the global political pattern/business pattern is undergoing extremely drastic reconstruction and iteration in the ten years before and after the Boxer Year. The Reconstruction of the existing way of life by the Internet is so profound and rapid that the front-end engineers of the new industry are being torn to two levels by the development of the industry:
- Cognitive polarization: The cognitive generation gap of front-end engineers accelerates and creates a huge gap in coding strength/management awareness/maturity
- Income polarization: the income gap of front-end engineers rapidly opened, the low salary is only five to six thousand, the high salary is 70 to 80 thousand, the rich and poor
Insights from the first half of the year
In the past few years, many students have encountered difficulties in their career and asked me to help them with their career planning.
Last year, I started to give guidance through wechat and telephone, and even in the form of live broadcasting:
However, under the impact of the epidemic this year, more students came to me to talk about their career confusion (many of them were local pioneers in Wuhan). I found that my energy and strength were too limited. I only helped hundreds of people in recent years, but I saw their current situation:
Quite a lot is the head of his/her reluctant to cultivate Ta, if willing to cultivation have no ability to Ta, Ta is the screws in the business for years, responsible for the mechanical repetition of simple things, and even inefficient collaboration environment, not grow, also cannot exercise their own core competitive ability, finally move out for a few hundreds of resumes, I can’t get a job at any company… Such children’s shoes I see in the eyes, pain in the heart, I also summarized effective methods, but these methods from the text to the final internalization of the front children’s shoes ability, but also need more means:
So I thought, what can I do for the industry, what can I do for front end engineers, It is far from enough to write articles as a part-time job (I have written more than a hundred articles in this year), live broadcast (I have done 10 or 20 live broadcasts in this year), do tutoring (I have tutored hundreds of children’s shoes by wechat phone in this year), and hold technical conferences (I have held more than 10 technical conferences covering thousands of people in this half year).
For example, from January 11th to June 30th in the first half of the year, 11 front-end early chat conferences were held in total, with nearly 5000 front-end participants and a total of 80 sharing sessions. Share topics involved in “front end turns management,” “front-end” gay built “front end to establish” “planning” front-end “monitor” front-end “front end make Serverless” micro “front end to front end” “interview” front-end “front-end to document” across the front end across the stack “career path” front end “, and “visualization” front end in July, This may seem like a lot, but it’s not enough to reach more students in the underlying ability structure/cognitive quadrant.
So how do you put my programming experience accumulated over the years, cognitive thinking, planning ability, management methods duplicated in the industry, get more engineers he should get growth, little take some detours, the half a year to the idea has been brewing in my mind, so I decided to naked resignation, full-time to do these things.
Only full-time, dedicated, and full-time, you must have enough material guarantee, otherwise do half closed could not realize their beginner’s mind, so this time, I decided to start a company, focus on the front end engineers ability of growth and competitiveness level, in 10 years, for length, look at the industry can change any good because of me, As for what to do, I will announce some progress on my wechat moments (Codingdreamer) in due course.
I have been working in the front end for 10 years. In the second 10 years, I – Scott, look forward to going with you all. With my help, I can help you break the game successfully. Ollie give!
