曾有个很流行的笑话说,外行人会把“IT”念成“工厂”,而且浑然不觉。 过去觉得这个笑话很可乐,但现在看起来却有些新的意义,尤其是在软件业。 有位朋友,曾几次去相邻的岛国,给日本的某家软件公司编写软件。他每次回国,总是满载银子而归,底气十足。我很钦佩他有如此高超的天分和技术,可他却坦言,自己只是日语还算可以,编程水平比国内软件公司的同行差了许多。 为什么他还能胜任工作呢?原因就 There was a very popular joke that lay people would read “IT” as a “factory,” and feel unaware. In the past, this joke was very coke, but now it seems to have some new meaning, especially in the software industry. A friend of mine went to neighboring island countries several times to write software for a Japanese software company. Every time he returns to China, he is always filled with money and full of confidence. I admire him for such superb talents and techniques, but he admits that he is Japanese only, and that his programming is much worse than that of domestic software companies. Why does he still have the job?
