Most people just smile: First, they think that technology companies are too rich now, and 4 million is nothing, even if they pay for it out of their own pockets; second, they are used to it, and Ivan, a low-key playboy, can always play tricks on his own. It is true that he occasionally made public appearances, most of which were in the entertainment page. After the growth of "burn after reading" reached its peak, no major news broke out again. Except, of course, that he gave executives a massive $200 million bonus last year when the company was not yet profitable.
The explosion of technology in the past ten years has brought wealth to countless technical talents. From the pioneering days of Microsoft and Apple, to mobile payment, to the rise of VR, to the boom in artificial intelligence, to now Alibaba and Amazon dominate the world, there is no field that cannot bring topics and investments. The financial field, which was popular 10 years ago, has faded. Now, as long as we chat about I work in a technology unicorn company, or if I have any unique insights on artificial intelligence, the other party will probably lean on his chin and say: Tell me more. In the job market, as long as my skills are hard enough, countless technology companies will offer me an olive branch. The starting salary is enough for a technical nerd to have a headache (how to spend it). Not to mention, the generous stock rewards seem to draw a grand blueprint: the future universe will depend on us to connect. As a result, countless geniuses who won prizes in competitions in their youth have devoted themselves to the embrace of computers, ideally becoming a brilliant programmer. The book has its own golden house, and the book is as free as jade. Really? Facebook founder Zuckerberg is a programmer, Tencent founder Ma Huateng is a programmer, and Amazon founder Bezos is a programmer. It seems so, doesn't it?
Zuckerberg is a talented programmer. He was able to write a whole set of programs by himself when he was in elementary school; when he founded Facebook, he "borrowed" the business idea proposed by fraternity members to rate girls, and quickly and his brother The members of the association lost contact and founded Facebook within a few days;
Ma Huateng is a programmer and graduated from Shenzhen University with a major in computer science; before founding Tencent, Ma Huateng doubled his stock account by 7 times and "earned" a principal of 700,000 yuan from the market. He saw the lack of instant messaging for Chinese people." He borrowed the idea of OICQ and wrote QQ;
Bezos is a programmer and graduated from the engineering department of Princeton University; before founding Amazon, Bezos, who was working on Wall Street, learned that the US Supreme Court had just allowed mailed goods to be exempted from consumption tax, so he Taking advantage of the loopholes, he founded Amazon first.
I think everyone here knows what I mean. Under the skin of every "programmer" is a keen, swift, and even cunning business acumen. "Programmer" is just an additional title for some geniuses.
In tech companies in the United States, technical talents enjoy very favorable treatment, because they are the backbone of the company. But sadly, programmers have never been at the center of technology. They will always be persuaded by big bosses with talented business minds with high salaries and preferential treatment, and work hard to realize their dreams. And their reward may be a free canteen forever, the fun of laughing at each other's programming languages, or even the expectation that the next female programmer will join. However, the world has never been for programmers, nor has it been, nor will it ever be.
PS: Ivan has never been a programmer, but I am sure that countless programmers are willing to use 10 years for his day.
