Mention programmers
It may come to mind
Thick glasses and plaid shirts
The image of tirelessly typing code in front of a computer
Maybe the programmer below will be a little different
He can play the guitar and he can play the saxophone
He likes to collect sneakers and work out
Sounds more like a fashionista
But he holds ByteDance, Baidu, Tencent and so on
Numerous big factories offer
He's from
School of Communication, Electronic Information Engineering Class 1803
The "hipster man" Yang Andong
From don't play, to don't learn
In the summer of 2021, Yang Andong suddenly received an email, and he was excited to see the content of the email, which was an admission email from Beijing ByteDance Co., Ltd., not only that, he also received invitations from Baidu and Tencent.
Speaking of the mental journey of finding a job, he was impressed by the fact that many of the people who competed for the same position with him were master's students from other prestigious universities. So why did he get these desirable offers, who had never interned and was not from a science class?
Yang Andong said: "It is said that college students compete for serious internal rolls, how to find a good job, only rolls, you want to lie flat, then your offer is likely to be taken away by people who work harder than you." "So during the job search, in addition to eating is to write code, review old knowledge points and expand new knowledge points, in addition to the daily class time, an average of about ten hours a day of study; during that time, he is not a written test or an interview every day, sometimes he has to rotate continuously, just after the noon written test, he has to prepare for the afternoon and evening interviews, and his schedule is basically full. Solid foundation and tough algorithmic ability and efficient learning ability are the keys to Yang Andong's emergence among the competitors. Interviewers often give two or three algorithm questions and stipulate that they should answer within ten or fifteen minutes to verify the interviewer's code ability, facing two hard questions and a mid question in the algorithm question, ac in 50 minutes, Yang Andong won the favor of the interviewers with excellent results.
Solid foundation and tough algorithmic ability are also hard to practice, "I remember that after understanding an algorithm problem, it was already two or three o'clock in the evening, and during that time, even my mother felt that this was not his son." In addition, the experience accumulated from participating in high concurrency memory pools like C++ implementations, autonomous web server projects based on HTTP protocols, and other related projects also gave Yang and Dong confidence. Faced with the problem of starting late, Yang Andong chose to use the double time spent by others to make up for it, he said, from not playing to learning at that time is his magic weapon to win.
In 305 days, he published 122 original works
Since you have chosen to be far away and only take care of the wind and rain, since you have chosen to start from scratch, you must redouble your efforts. In his sophomore year, after Yang Andong decided to go to the goal of going to the Internet factory, in addition to his own professional courses, he began to squeeze his own fragmentary time to find relevant courses and videos on the Internet to watch, exploring his own learning path, from the beginning of the code white to the qualified and reliable programmers who held several big factory offers, which of course was indispensable.
What made Yang Andong come up with the idea of cross-professional development? He said that his transcoding path began with Yang Chen and Zhu Zhao Wenbo, two seniors, and when he first showed interest in code, it was the seniors who constantly motivated him and helped him build confidence, so that he could persevere in the initial exploration. The best friendship is to hold each other together, cheer each other on, and make great strides towards a better self together.
With the original intention of wanting Xiaobai like himself to be able to find relevant learning videos and be able to better understand the knowledge points and have a better learning route by taking fewer detours, Yang Andong started his own blog and published his first article on August 8, 2020. Since then, Yang Andong has been insisting on this one thing, for him, it is just learning other people's project code while constantly summarizing knowledge points and publishing them on the blog. However, as of June 7, 2021, in 305 days, Yang Andong has published 122 original works and published the code of multiple projects on the forum. On average, a work will be published on 2.5 days, coupled with the professionalism of the article content, the short interval between updates, the full content of the article, the importance of their studies, and the difficulties that need to be overcome can be imagined. He said that when he came back late and tired every day, he perked up at the thought of his goals, and the goals he has achieved so far have changed from the accumulation and amount of time he has spent every day. It may be easy to publish an article, but it is not easy to insist on continuous publication, there is nothing difficult in the world, but there are fewer people with hearts like Yang Andong.
"You can only look effortless if you work very hard." Yang Andong expressed his learning journey in this way.
It's not hard to give up, but it's cool to stick to it
When Yang Andong stepped into the university campus with the childishness of high school in the summer of 2018, like many people, he said to himself, "I should relax", and after a period of tense nerve relaxation, he felt more and more confused, when he did not plan and had more free time, he did not know how to go in the future. "In addition to taking my own courses, I am addicted to the Internet, playing games, and watching dramas in my spare time. Weight is gaining, and the physical strength is not as good as before. He recalled. After realizing your confusion, constantly exploring what you want, and then working hard and changing for it, followed by spiritual awakening and spiritual growth. Soon, Yang Andong realized that he could not go on like this anymore. He started his own fitness trail, getting up at seven in the morning for a five-kilometer morning run every morning, scheduling two hours of strength training, and going to the gym five times a week. At the same time, according to his ideal weight, he formulated three meals a day, and strictly controlled energy and protein intake. At the same time, he would also take his roommates and friends to the gym, and it was better to have someone with him than alone.
"In the early days of fitness, I thought about giving up every day, the soreness of the muscles made me struggle every day not to go to the gym, but every time I gritted my teeth and persevered, day after day, I also insisted on today, looking at the muscles in the mirror and slowly becoming more handsome myself, it is a very fulfilling thing." Now that I think about it, I am really grateful to myself, to myself who got up early to meet the winter wind and morning, to thank myself who was desperately lifting iron in the gym at that time, to thank my self-discipline day after day, and now fitness has become one of the ways I learn and reduce stress in life, and has become a part of my life. All I'd say is that it's not hard to give up, but it must be cool to stick around!"
"I am a person with clear goals and strong self-control and execution." Yang Andong said this about himself.
△ Yang Andong's "sneakers"
From the youth who first entered the campus to the full load of today's return, in the past three years, this sunny and cheerful big boy has gained a full harvest, not only received an invitation from the big factory, gained his close friends, but also became more calm. Yang Andong said that the future can be expected, and he will continue to pursue a better self.
Since I chose far away
Just stride forward
Hopefully, you will be invincible
No matter how many steps
They are all accumulated from one, two or three steps
Hope to meet again
We are all higher
