Recently, a Xiaohongshu blogger named "Goose Factory Front End No.1" has frequently become a hot topic because his lover was Huang Xitong, a figure who used to work as a technology celebrity at Tencent and the technical director of QQ Space, but was fired by Tencent. This incident has sparked widespread discussion and lamented that even the top management of large technology companies is not immune to the hand of "optimization".
However, looking back at Huang Xitong's past, we will find that his resume was not closely linked to front-end technology from the beginning.
After graduating from Sichuan University in 1999, Huang Xitong's career has been related to back-end Java development, during which time he has changed seven jobs and maintained a relatively mediocre salary. However, a chance encounter led him to front-end development, and he fell deeply in love with the technology. After some hard work, he was finally able to transfer to Tencent to work in front-end development. Soon after joining the company, he seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to solve a problem where the server crashed at the time through meticulous code proofreading. This incident made Tencent's senior management see his potential, and he gradually rose to prominence and eventually became a senior engineer.
However, Huang Xitong's pursuit does not stop at the success of technology. He set his sights on the barrier-free transformation of products, and is committed to making Internet products easy for more people. He promoted the barrier-free transformation of QQ mailbox, so that blind users can use it smoothly, and he also carried out the same transformation of QQ space, including the web page and client into the scope of accessibility. More remarkably, he founded the China Information Accessibility Products Alliance, which brings together many Internet products to work together on this meaningful cause. He also placed information on Tencent's 404 page to find missing children, a move that attracted great attention and appreciation from society.
However, despite Huang Xitong's outstanding achievements in technology and public welfare, he also faced some management difficulties. When he was promoted, he gave up a promotion opportunity because of personal personality problems and the irrationality of the company system. He is also not good at communicating with leaders and cannot express his opinions well. In addition, he had reservations about the company's PUA employee policy, which led him to conflict with the company on this point. Coupled with his failure to seize the wave of mobility and stick to traditional web development, his technology gradually lagged behind. Eventually, these problems limited his career and caused his position at Tencent to reach a bottleneck.
However, Huang Xitong was not depressed, and he learned to calmly face the reality of layoffs. He records his life with the Little Red Book, shares leisure activities such as cooking and climbing, and lives a free life. He believes that being fired from a big factory is not a failure, but a new stage of life. All this also shows that the ordinariness and tranquility of life are the real value.
Huang Xitong's experience tells us that success is not only technical excellence, but also requires the quality of being kind to people, good at communication, and constantly improving. His story inspires us to constantly seek a balance between technology and relationships in pursuit of more holistic success.
