Professional things use professional people

Recently, the boss and the product have been very upset , Close up of this article “ Eulogize ” Check out our company “ Wise and powerful ” The boss and often have “ Powerful and unconstrained style , avoid dangers ” Products of thought .

I always believe that professional people should be used for professional affairs . As the saying goes ： The layman is watching , Experts look at the door .

The same applies to the software development industry . But some people don't think so , They always feel like leaders , Standing on the The whole company , The whole industry , The whole society , The whole universe Think about it from the perspective of , It must be at a higher level than us designers and program developers , More than we can see , Closer to the needs of users than we do .

But I don't know , Demand is not an idea , Not made up , Adaptation is not random , Requirements are communicated with users again and again . I admit the basic fact that the butt decides the head , But you can't just sit on your head and butt ！

It is common to need repeated communication , Leaders have to think that you can't do such a small thing well , Say you can't think from the customer's point of view . The prototype has come out ,UI The drawing has come to an end , At this time, there is a question about the design of the whole system , There's really a problem. Why don't you say it during the review .

Don't forget that the requirements specification is the result of repeated communication between the whole project team and the customer , The boss has to change his word , This is not a simple requirement , It may directly change the customer's satisfaction with this product .

A little more alarmist , What may change is the future of the whole company , Legally speaking, the company belongs to one person , But from a moral point of view, it is everyone's , We do Not the producer of the code , Just the porter of the code , But the porters don't want to go to the human resources and Social Security Bureau to fill in the form one day because of decision-making problems .

Besides, UI Stage , Can't a designer's aesthetics compare with that of a boss , please , They are professional . What he eats is this bowl of rice , He can't even do carpentry without this diamond , Long ago Surging back waves Shot dead .

But it is obvious that in small companies, what leaders say is what they say （ I haven't been in a big company. I don't know ）, What the boss says is just like “ Bible ” almost . A classic UI Design , Those who have passed the postgraduate entrance examination in the market for a long time UE, Just because I feel that I can't open the gap with other products, I have to make great changes , Good change , It makes sense , It happened that the boss wanted to Don't talk about military morality To change the dead end of .

People click to select , He had to make a sliding selection , With the whole world, you can understand the needs of users , Don't be blind without basic product design knowledge bb.

Finally, let's talk about coding , As the last stage of software development （ Testing is partly coding ）, We are just a porter , We are just bricklaying , Products of different complexity lead to covered “ Shishan mountain ” The side of a ridge makes a peak .

But the architecture is very fragile , Even the products of big factories , Some functions are not available , You have to reconstruct many things at the bottom , Involving table modification , Data storage and transmission , Page display and a series of links , more tm The big thing is that people are not willing to modify it , After the leadership has given an account , No one connects with you , Looking at the cold demand slapping on the face , I really can't feel the warmth of Andy Lau .

What makes people more angry is the redoing of some requirements , I admit that the demand in the software industry is certainly not static , But you can't go East today , Go into space tomorrow ！ What products should not be gradual , What requirements should not be reviewed , I don't think you are really stupid to promise customers' products without the approval of developers , You are really bad . It's really not you who carry the pot , No brain to play .

What to do after roast ？ Then delete the database and run away ？ But no one can guarantee that this is a pit , Is that a deep pit . So if possible , When I feel that the company can be saved , A small employee should make a few suggestions for “ Overlord ” Review .
The boss shouldn't be self righteous , Many small companies have a self righteous boss , It interfered with the trend of some products of the company , Finally, it will be destroyed . I know your pretentious , Know how difficult it is for you to start a business .

But please respect an employee who works hard to make a living , It is more professional for him to eat by craft than for you to eat by patting your head , Please do well The planning of the company's major decision-making direction , Personnel coordination , Do a good job in external public relations , Be proactive in the industry , I'm afraid that the rest is only cared for by the employees . Most employees don't want to share weal and woe with you , Finally, I will make you , We just hope you don't become a demon .

Senior executives are less involved in product trends , Unless you are a technical leader . All you have to do is cooperate with your boss , Manage the company well , Whether it comes from food, grass or ammunition , Don't let the boss worry about the future , Don't let the staff poke at the backbone and scold their mother .

The product manager tries to make his vision long-term , As close as possible to the real environment of developers , I don't even suggest that people with non-technical background make products at all .

Most of the time, the product manager controls the direction of the whole product , Positioning of similar products in the industry , Communicate well with customers , Good user experience , Design products from the perspective of an expert , It's what you should do to use a layman's perspective to review the function again and again .

The customer is not your father , Unreasonable demands can be rejected . It is better to communicate with the development colleagues before agreeing to some functions , Instead of taking it for granted . you tm Let me change the color of the wallpaper according to the color of the mobile phone case , I even have to ask your wife the color of your underpants before I know , How can I know the color of your mobile phone case .

Developers try to avoid internal conflicts , Keep a question in mind , We are all workers , We all have working souls , We are all firm proletarians , We all have a family named China , We all have a dream of making more money .

You should not push the front-end work to the back-end , As for the back-end interface, you also need to reduce the repeated debugging of the front-end , During the joint commissioning, you two can't hold the computer closer ？ In addition, you must write notes ！ notes ！ notes ！ Every time I see one 10000 Multiple lines of code without a comment , I'd like to say hello to your family , By the way ：

I am your father ！

Colleagues in other departments , Take charge of their own work , Don't tell other people what to do . You are looking for , He's writing code , You have to come up with a statement that this function is not available , Did you say you were looking for a cigarette ！

Ok, Roast and suggestions are all over , I hope the boss and colleagues here can listen to my advice ： Professional people do professional things .

Happy new year to you all ,2021 We'll be better , thank you ！
