Keynes wrote in On Monetary Reform:
In the long run, we are all dead）。
The momentum of the avenue will be divided for a long time, and there will be no immutability. The important thing is not that the front end or the back end is dead, but that it should be realized from the beginning that no industry or profession is eternal.
History has memory, but people tend to forget it. The wave of layoffs in the late '90s and early 2000s shattered many people's beliefs. Tencent's hit "The Long Season" at the time thought that the best way out was to inherit the father's business from generation to generation. However, with the advent of market-oriented reforms, everything is like a dream.
A brief history of the origins of the Internet and the rise of programmers.
In 1969, the American ARPANET was born. ARPANET was the world's first packet-switched network and the predecessor of the Internet. In 1983, ARPANET officially adopted the TCP IP protocol, marking the birth of the modern Internet. In 1990, the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland. The World Wide Web has made the Internet more accessible and has greatly contributed to its popularity. In the 40s and 50s of the 20th century, computer science and electronic computers were born. The earliest programmers were scientists and engineers who designed and wrote computer programs to solve specific problems.
In the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, with the advent and popularity of commercial computers, programmers began to become a common profession. During that period, many companies began to use computers to process business data, which required a large number of programmers to write and maintain software.
In the 80s and 90s, with the rise of personal computers and the internet, the demand for programmers increased further.
Nowadays, programmers have become a very important and in-demand profession.
And the pig's foot front-end programmer that we are going to talk about today began to rise around the early 2000s. During this period, web pages became more and more complex, requiring specialized developers to take care of the look and interaction of web pages. These developers are what are now known as front-end developers.
In total, the history of the Internet is more than 50 years, and the history of programmers is more than 70 years, not to mention the front-end and front-end programmers. It is too short for a relatively long history, and it is reasonable to suspect that one day the Internet and programmers may not disappear, but they can be changed.
Mobility remains, but the wagons that run on the road have become automobiles; Navigation still exists, but it has changed from the original map and the Big Dipper to the Beidou system in the sky; Communication still exists, but it has long been able to cross thousands of miles and mountains, cross rivers and rivers, and ......
Regardless of whether it is true that the front-end is dead (and not for the time being), whether it is in line with the current status quo. I think there should be"Drought is a boat, and a flood is a car".
Or I think that modern people have only one professional identity, and it is better to have this identity: lifelong learner. Becoming a lifelong learner and responding to change with change is the only way out.
Therefore, perhaps more attention should be paid to how to break through the career restrictions and how to extend the career. Or focus on how to break through the hierarchy, after all, in the long run, we are all dead.
