In the past three years, many of the news we have seen on the Internet are news about layoffs of major IT companies, and layoffs are no longer divided at home and abroad. You can call it a famous IT factory that is not famous and is laying off people. There are simple and rough layoffs, some layoffs in disguise, and some cuts inexplicably. There are all kinds of models. So some people sighed: belongs to Programmer has come to an end !
The peak moment of programmers
As a high-income industry, the profession of programmers has been regarded as a high-paying profession for a long time. Therefore, there has been circulating on the Internet that "html married heroes in the 150s, married poor peasants in the 1960s, married military camps in the 1970s, married diplomas in the 1980s, married rich people in the 1990s, married 000s, married coder , married internet celebrities in the 2010s." It can be seen how popular programmers are as microcosm of an era.
Once upon a time, programmers drove luxury cars and did mysterious programming work. In the eyes of ordinary people, programmers could even be equated with hackers. Many people believe that programmers can do everything in cyberspace and that they can hack into any networked computer at will. In addition to the "mysterious ability" of programmers in the eyes of ordinary people, the most humane thing is that programmers drive a good car and live in a good room, and hug a beautiful girl by their side.
The darkest moment of programmers
However, today, not only major Internet companies have laid off their talents, but even some non-Internet industry coders have been laid off in large numbers. It gives people the feeling that programmers are outdated. Some people even say that programmers are no longer in high-paying industries and have become traditional professions, so their salaries naturally need to be in line with traditional industries.
believe it or not, for the profession of programmers, today, today, when the new crown epidemic has been under the background of a large number of layoffs by programmers, this is indeed the darkest moment in history for programmers. Some even think that programmers will face more difficult days in the next few years than today. There are profound practical reasons why causes the darkest moment of programmers today. First, the delay of the COVID-19 pandemic has become a common disaster worldwide, which has seriously affected the social frequency density between people and greatly reduced the flow of people and currency circulation. The second is not only the impact of the global epidemic, but also the trade protection initiated by Western countries and the establishment of trade barriers for political purposes have also greatly blocked the development and exchange of world economy . In short, under the influence of various joint forces, global economy is like a blood clot, dividing different economies . In smaller economies, overproduction will occur. For example, taking software OEM as an example, some companies that provide software development OEM internationally have been smoothed out due to the epidemic and trade barriers. At the same time, OEM companies have recruited a large number of programmers due to huge demand in the peak season. After the demand is cut in half, a large number of programmers appear to be overdoing their own business. In this case, profitability decreases and profits decrease, and the company has no choice but to lay off employees. Most of the programmers' work serves entities. The epidemic and trade barriers first impact the real economy. When the real economy is impacted, the demand of programmers will be reduced accordingly, which is inevitable. programmers were laid off and a large number of companies laid off programmers, which gave people the impression that programmers had become an unpopular profession. But is this really the case? Many people think that the software applications that should be developed and developed are basically saturated now, and there is almost no new space to accommodate more programmers' work.In fact, it is the sudden outbreak of the epidemic and world trade obstacles that interrupt the normal relationship between programmers and needs. On the surface, it seems that society has no more demands and programmers seem redundant. But in fact, the recession of the world economy has caused IT companies to shrink continuously. When the shrinkage reaches a critical point and the value of programmers becomes the maximum, then a large number of companies will recruit programmers crazily. This critical point was also achieved by several combined efforts. The economic recovery, the re-establishment of software demands and entities, the decrease in the number of programmers graduated from colleges and universities, and the increase in the demand for programmers in society will allow the programmer profession to enter the next rapid development cycle. Is the programmer really outdated?
The reason is very simple. Today, a large number of programmers have been laid off. For this year and even in the next few years, there may be a large reduction in the number of people applying for computer majors. And economic recovery is certain, and economic recovery cannot be changed after experiencing depression. Just like the past economic crisis , prosperity is followed by crisis.
Therefore, it is not that programmers are outdated, but that programmers appear to be "oversupply" after the economy enters a cyclical recession. After experiencing the hardest moments of hardship, programmers will eventually usher in the next prosperity. Not only the programmer profession, but also finance, entities, etc. will usher in new prosperity.
Conclusion:
For programmers, who has not encountered many hurdles in life! It is not scary to encounter obstacles. It is like a marathon. Those who run fast may not be able to run the entire journey, and those who run the entire journey may not be able to run fast. But there is no doubt that the number one marathon is both a fast runner and a complete runner. Therefore, as a programmer, if you love this profession, you don’t need to change careers or be pessimistic. Those who can persist to the end will not be the loser.
