In the AGI era, digitalization has become an important feature of the organizational form, which can help the organization achieve consistent goals and high-frequency transmission of information, so as to achieve the synergy and agile evolution of strategic goals. Against this backdrop, the real challenge for developers is how to avoid the separation between technology and business.
From December 14th to 17th, the 12th "TOP100 Global Software Case Study Summit" (TOP100Summit), co-sponsored by MSUP and Weishang Information Technology Research Institute, was successfully held at the Beijing International Convention Center. With the theme of "Practical Revelation of Innovation Explorers in the AGI Era", this year's summit aims to help the audience grasp the development context of AIGC, provide practical guidance and inspiration, and stimulate the innovation potential of R&D practitioners through the core ideas and innovation strategy methods of leading enterprises.
Tao Jianhui, founder & core developer of TDengine, was invited to participate in this conference and gave a keynote speech on "The Road to Advancement of Ten Times Programmers, Starting from the Basic Software TDENGINE Engineer Culture" in the special session of engineer culture, which won deep resonance and unanimous praise from the developers on site.
For a long time, the discussion of topics such as "35+ threshold" and "programmers eating spring rice" has been very hot in China, and in order to avoid this risk, programmers with a little experience want to transfer to business or management positions. Compared with application software development with frequent changes in requirements, basic software development with relatively stable iteration speed is more suitable for programmers' career development, and rich technical experience also makes older programmers more advantageous in the fine polishing and development of underlying software products. This is one of the reasons why TDengine's R&D team has a high proportion of 35+ senior programmers.
As a 54-year-old "super-old" programmer with 39 years of programmer career, Tao Jianhui believes that the work of a programmer is the best job in the world, and advocates that programmers should focus on polishing their own abilities while opening up their global horizons and enhancing their competitiveness. "For individuals, the value of long-term focus far outweighs the harvest of chasing fashion, and only when you become an absolute expert in your niche can you have the possibility of a market premium. Tao Jianhui believes that if Chinese programmers want to rise, they should focus on in-depth learning and Xi in one field, and at the same time build their own global vision from the aspects of "reading English materials", "publishing technical blogs on mainstream IT communication platforms at home and abroad" and "participating in GitHub open source projects", so as to improve their own advanced and innovative nature, and it is possible to become a "tenfold programmer" in their field.
He also said that the product team leader should also focus on "focus" and "globalization" when making products, abandon the "big and comprehensive" thinking, and build the globalization of products with open source. "In the case of the existence of a large number of open source software, whether in China or the United States, only the top three can survive in any market segment", and enterprises can only have a chance to become the "top three" if they polish a product to the extreme. Just like TDengine, the team from 5 people to more than 80 people, insisted on six years to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to polish only this product, this persistence has significantly improved the strength of the product, and relying on the power of open source, TDENGINE has gained 22 in just a few years3k github star、439.4k global installation instance.
In addition, Tao Jianhui also shared the TDENGINE team's R&D culture of "pursuit of excellence" for the on-site developers, focusing on the following two points: using the global or peer advanced level as an indicator to carry out R&D work, actively learning and Xi and meeting work standards within a limited time. This "excellence" is also reflected in the product, which has been released since TDENGINE 3 last yearSince version 0, with the continuous polishing of the R&D team, TDengine's product performance, ease of use and stability have been greatly improved, and have been praised by many customers, including China's first Taiwan Network Center, China Mobile Internet of Things, Zhiguang Electric, Sohu**, and Guoxuan Hi-Tech.
The TOP100 Summit is not only a grand event for Internet people to exchange and share, but also an important platform for disseminating excellent new ideas, new ideas and new technologies at home and abroad. As a big data platform designed and optimized for scenarios such as the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet, TDengine will continue to improve its product capabilities in the future, release its unique technical value to the industry, and promote the digital transformation of more enterprises.
