Before we learn programming, we like to go online to find answers, some "I'm 26, learn programming late", "Programmer has prospects", "can the basic poor learn".
Every time we see these issues, we have a headache, as a programming learning platform, W3Cschool has a responsibility to solve the problems raised by students. B ut there is no standard answer to these questions. S ay can learn it, in case you can't learn, certainly blame us for fooling people. Say no, don't learn, in case you are very interested, can become a bull in the future, we are not erasing a future of technical personnel.
So today we're going to open this article to answer that question.
We imitate the question "26 years old, learn programming late?".
If there are the following answers to this question:
"It's so competitive now, 26 is too late, " says one computer doctor. ”
A programmer who had just found a job said, "It's not too late, I'm 26 this year." ”
A grandmother in her 40s said, "It's not too late, you see, I'm still learning programming." ”
I think the vast majority of people will listen to Dr. Computer because he is an expert in this field and what he says certainly weighs in.
At the beginning, you make a mistake, and it makes sense to follow the "buy only expensive, don't buy right". Why do you say that?
I saw this joke before:
I heard experts say that eating bubble noodles with paper trays is not healthy, Laozi then smiled, you know how to eat bubble noodles? Laozi is mixed up to eat bubble noodles, still care about health?
Is the expert wrong? That's right, when you tear open the bubble cover, the edges of the paper cartridge will have some hair, it is easy to drink soup, eat into the stomach.
But why do we want to laugh when we see this joke?
Experts ignore the fact that most people eat bubble noodles, mostly to solve the problem of "starvation" rather than health problems.
Product design, there is a principle, that is, only the mainstream user's opinion, without listening to the expert user's opinion is also a reason. Mainstream users want to spend less money, but also to eat enough to meet the good, as for nutrition, no longer consider the scope.
So, what the computer doctor says is not what it is, should be filtered out, should not be considered.
Last year,82-year-old Japanese grandmother developed a game that was praised by Apple CEO Tim Cook. The granny began to learn programming at the age of 60, inspiring many beginners in programming.
"Look, people don't start programming until they're 60, you're only 26 and you say it's late?" W ith this view, it does give a lot of programming beginners confidence. But W3Cschool still wants to say that this kind of nonsense is not believed.
At the age of 60, he began to learn programming, developed an APP, and met with Cook, who was praised for asking how many people in the world had done this. A nd not a few. Granny learns programming this matter, is a special case, if you take this as the goal, will be greatly disappointed.
So, it's easy to get a good answer if you're going through someone who's been through the same thing, what they think and what they're going through, and then determine if most people are like this, excluding exceptions.
Learn programming, really don't think too much about it, if you really want to learn, do it. Don't want to learn, don't be some good news, hard scalp to learn.
In a speech in Taiwan, Mr Ma included a speech in which he wrote:
I don't really like the MBA entrepreneurial model, always first to analyze, how big the industry is, the future prospects are very good, so to cut into the industry. T his is basically not reliable. I n fact, I will soon be able to tell whether a person started a business, a wolf or a dog. Wolves don't care how big the industry is, he kills them, he just wants to do what he wants to do.
I found a lot of venture capital, doing a ppt is very beautiful, at the beginning said that the industry has billions of profits, as if this trillion has something to do with you, it has nothing to do with you.
Learning programming is the same truth, want to learn to learn, do not want to learn don't force, where there are so many bends.
In psychology, this phenomenon is called the "psychological black box effect".
Consider the following two scenarios:
Send a message, an hour has passed, the girlfriend has not replied
The boss said, "You come to my office."
Almost everyone will think in a bad direction, very few people will think so: is not the girlfriend too busy, no time to return? The boss asked me to go to the office, presumably just to talk to me about the progress of the work?
Programming beginners, almost will have their own psychological black box, always thinking, in case I do not learn how to do, find a job how to do, become too much, give up the intention to learn.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's human instinct. In ancient times, human beings had to prepare for the worst in order to survive.
When you sleep, you may be eaten by wild animals, so there is a good way to climb up a tree to sleep, or build a wall. T he footprints of other tribesmen appeared in the territory, and were they going to invade? Hurry up and call the clansmen to prepare for battle.
Liu Tzuxin in the "three bodies" said the "dark forest law" is the same truth, the two civilizations after colliding with each other, the first thought is to kill each other, rather than work together to progress.
Whether it's ancient humans or the laws of the dark forest, they're prepared for the worst, but they're dealing with it with the most positive attitude.
On the other hand, look at a lot of programming beginners, say programming is too difficult, dare not learn, I do not know in other industries, there are still flood beasts waiting for you. I've been hiding, I've been running, and I've done nothing.
It's like the more you talk about chicken soup... In a word: prepare for the worst and face it with the most positive attitude.
Finally, here's a summary:
