This is not specifically for software engineers but I believe this applies
for the many young hopefuls walking into their first company
我认为,以下这些错误并非软件工程师的专利,所有满怀希望,刚步入职场的年轻人都很容易犯这些错误。
Falling more in love with the company than the job:Probably one of the
biggest mistakes I made I truly believed that if I got into the company I
wanted, I would eventually find the role that was right for me What was more
painful was that I gave up an amazing role in a different company because I
liked the branding of my-then-employer
爱公司多过爱工作:这或许是我犯下的最大的错误之一。我当时坚信,只要我进入那家我心仪已久的公司,最终就一定能找到适合自己的岗位。更痛苦地是,我还放弃了另外一家公司提供的一份好工作,只是因为我喜欢当时那家雇主的品牌。
Believing that having a black and white viewpoint on business execution was
the right path: This was actually an issue – I hope it isn’t anymore – with a
lot of the Korean companies at the time They try to indoctrinate the new grad
into thinking that their competitor is “the enemy” or even portray them as
“evil” in an irrational mantra I’m sure it was to gain short-term loyalty, but
for a lot of people I know, they picked up a really bad habit of emotionally
expending too much time “hating” on their rivals and not thinking enough about
the bigger picture of things
坚信应该持有黑白分明的商业立场:曾几何时,受大量韩国公司的影响,这真的是一个问题,但愿它现在已不复存在。他们会向刚毕业的学生灌输这样一种思
想:竞争对手是“敌人”,甚至不理性地将他们描绘成“邪恶的”一方。这种做法确实能获得短期的忠诚,但就我所知,许多人养成了一种坏习惯,他们在情感上投
入太多时间去“憎恨”竞争对手,而没有充分考虑大局。
雅虎(Yahoo)软件工程师Allen Wu
Two mistakes I made during my first job in softwareengineering as a new
grad come to mind Hopefully reading about my experienceswill encourage new
college grads to be more cognizant of these common mistakes
我记得毕业后从事第一份软件工程师工作时曾经犯下两个错误。但愿我的经历能够鼓励刚毕业的大学生们更谨慎地避免这些常见错误。
Thefirst was grossly underestimating how long it would take to complete a
featureThe business requirements suggested that the feature was not very
technicallycomplex and would be straightforward to implement What ended up
being responsiblefor the bulk of the time was cross team collaboration,
dependencies on others,and evolving requirements, which led to many iterations
of development There’s an aphorism insoftware engineering that says that 90% of
the work takes 90% of the estimatedtime, and the remaining 10% of work takes
another 90% of time, resulting in atotal development time of 180% of the
original estimate Even after someexperience in software development, it is
still really difficult for me toaccurately estimate the development time of a
task (seeJan Christian Meyer’s answer to Software Engineering:What is the
hardest thing you do as a software engineer), though it’s getting better
第一个错误是,严重低估完成一项功能所需要的时间。业务要求规定,功能在技术上不能太过复杂,而且要易于操作。最终结果是,跨团队协作、对其他人的依
赖性,以及不断更新的要求,占用了大部分时间。而不断更新的要求常常导致许多重复的开发工作。软件工程领域有一句格言是这样说的:90%的工作会用去
90%的时间,剩余10%的工作还需要90%的时间,最终结果是,开发时间将是预估时间的180%。即便在软件开发行业积累了一些经验之后,我依然很难准
确估算一项任务的开发时间,尽管现在的情况有所好转。
Thesecond was not asking for help when I should have I was stuck on a bug
Idiscovered for a feature that I was trying to implement Trying to uncover
theroot cause of the bug was like opening a can of worms – related
problemsstarted popping up everywhere Instead of properly escalating the issues
toincrease their visibility to get more resources or asking for help, I
spentmany cycles trying to find solutions, which was an exercise in futility
Mymanager at the time noted that a common mistake made by junior developers is
to“disappear” to work on theirtasks for extended periods of time, and reappear
when they’re finished When I realized that unexpected problems are expected,and
a manager’s job is to have visibility and enable ateam to operate at optimal
velocity, I was able to improve on this
第二个错误是没有在必要的时候寻求帮助。正打算执行的一项功能的时候,我发现了一个漏洞,并深陷其中。要找出导致漏洞的根本原因,无异于自找麻烦——
突然之间,相关问题开始不断出现。我没有恰当地提升这些问题的严重性以提高其可见性,并由此获得更多资源或寻求帮助,而是一遍遍地试图找出解决方案,结果
徒劳无功。我当时的上司表示,初级开发人员最常犯的错误,是会“消失”很长一段时间,忙于自己的项目,等到项目完成之后才会再次出现。当我意识到应该料想
到意外问题总会出现,管理者的职责就是发现问题,使整个团队按最佳速度运行,我在这方面得到了提升。

Be more loyal to your company than the company is to you I’ve managed too
manyteams that have entry level employees and I see this too often You like
yourfirst company, they gave you your first real shot! You should be loyal,
right
你对公司的忠诚度要高于公司对你的忠诚度。我管理过许多有初级员工的团队,见过太多这样的情况。你喜欢自己的第一家公司,它也给了你第一次真正的机会!你应该对它忠诚,不是吗
WrongPeople stay in an entry level position for too long believing their
employerwill “takecare of them” if they just work hard enough, stickaround long
enough…
这是错误的观点。有些人停留在入门级岗位太长时间,因为他们认为,只要他们努力工作,坚持的时间足够长,他们的雇主就会“照顾他们”……
Overtime, this grinds a person down I love that people believe that if you
justwork hard and do well your talents will be recognized and you’ll be
promoted, but thetruth is this isn’t always the way things workCompanies both
large and small have to have a position to promote you to, abudget to pay you
more, etc etc…
随着时间的推移,这种想法会压垮一个人。我也希望人们都相信,只要努力做好工作,你的才能就会得到认可,你就会平步青云,但真实情况是,付出的努力不见得一定能得到回报。不论大公司还是小公司,必须有职位空缺才能给员工升职,或者有预算才能给员工加薪。
Onceyou’ve beenat your first job for a bit, begin engaging your manager
about what youroptions are for developing your career If you start to get the
sense that noone ever gets promoted, or that options for advancement are
limited, thenchange gears: Learn what you can where you are and take that
experiencesomewhere else
从事第一份工作一段时间之后,要开始向上司请教自己的职业发展有哪些选择。如果你感觉没有人会得到升职,或者提升的选择有限,不妨改变方法:在这里尽可能学习新知识,然后带着自己的经验另谋高就。

Ignorethe bad habits of your older colleagues - Your colleague who has been
workingfor at least 10 years might be late to meetings often, but that does not
implythat it is acceptable to be late When an older colleague is late, your
managermight cut her more slack because she has proven herself to be helpful
andemployable whereas if you are late, you simply look irresponsible
andunemployable
避免老员工的坏习惯——在公司工作了至少十年的同事,可能经常开会迟到,但这并不意味着迟到是可以接受的。如果有老员工迟到,你的上司可能会放她一
马,因为她证明自己对公司有帮助,符合雇主的要求。但如果你迟到,只会让你看起来不负责任,并被列入不宜雇佣的员工之列。
Seekguidance and help proactively - In school, your professors and
teachingassistants often provide hints and guidance on homework and lab
assignmentswithout you prompting them At work, everyone is busy with his or her
owntasks, so do not be surprised if no one offers help It is not necessarily
thatthey are unfriendly and selfish so much as they are just plain busy The
onesthat offer unsolicited help are generally friendly people, so those are
theones with whom you want to be on extra good terms
主动寻求指导和帮助——在学校里,即便你没有主动提出,你的教授和助教也会经常为你的家庭作业和实验室任务提供提示和指导。但在工作中,所有人都忙于
自己的任务,所以,如果没有人主动提供帮助,不要感到惊讶。这并不意味着他们不友好或者自私,只是因为他们非常繁忙。主动向你提供帮助的人,往往都非常友
好,所以有必要与他们搞好关系。
Be theexpert of your assigned task - Even if you are assigned a menial task
likefixing minor bugs, swallow your pride, fix those bugs, and understand how
youfixed them If you are assigned a major task, the same underlying
principlesapply In software engineering, you are the expert of the part of the
codebaseyou modified and extended, so if your colleagues have questions, they
expectyou to have the answers Being the expert achieves two goals First,
yourcolleagues will think of you as a responsible person, and second, your
managerwill eventually notice and assign you more meaningful tasks or place you
onmore challenging and more impactful projects
对分配给自己的任务,要做到精益求精——即便你被安排了一项没有意义的工作,比如修补较小的漏洞,也要放下自己的骄傲,完成任务,并弄清楚如何修补。
如果你被安排负责一项重大任务,也要遵循同样的原则。在软件工程领域,对于由你修改和扩展的那部分代码库,你是专家,因此,如果你的同事遇到问题,他们会
希望由你来提供答案。成为专家可以实现两个目的。首先,同事会认为你是一个负责任的人,其次,你的上司最终会注意到你,并给你安排更有意义的工作,或者让
你参与更具挑战性、更有影响力的项目。
Be ongood terms with everyone - In school, if you disliked someone, you
could ignorehim At work, if you dislike a colleague, you cannot simply ignore
him becauseyou will be working together Instead, be friendly and cordial If
that personis at all a professional, even if he dislikes you personally, he will
respectyou professionally
与所有人搞好关系——在校园里,如果你不喜欢某个人,可以对他不理不睬。但在工作中,如果你不喜欢一位同事,不能简单地对他视而不见,因为你们要在一起工作。相反,要做到友好真诚。如果对方是专业人士,即便他个人不喜欢你,也会在职业上尊重你。
Valuequality over quantity - If you can, try to work as quickly as
possible, but donot sacrifice the quality of your work for the sake of more
output Yourmanager and colleagues will remember negatively the time you broke
the softwarebuild with a code check-in, even if it was delivered a week ahead of
timeHowever, they will remember fondly the success and quality of your polished
andcompleted project, even if it took an extra week to wrap up
重质量,轻数量——如果可以的话,尽可能快地完成工作,但不能为了更多产出而牺牲工作的质量。如果你用代码校验破坏了软件构造,即便提前一周交付,也
会给上司和同事留下负面印象。相反,如果由你改进和完成的项目取得成功,并且保证了质量,即便多花了一周时间,也会给其他人留下积极印象。
在职场上正确处理情绪是很重要的,但情绪自由并不意味着可以随意表达情绪或让情绪影响自己的工作表现。
职场上的情绪自由应该是理解和尊重自己及他人的情绪,而不是不受约束、随便发泄。在职场上,情绪的不良表达可能会引起其他人的不满或不理解,甚至可能会导致职场冲突,这对于工作效率和个人职业发展都不利。
因此,正确处理自己的情绪是非常重要的。在面对挫折和困难时,可以通过自我调节、与同事交流、寻求帮助等方式来缓解情绪。如果有必要,也可以考虑寻求专业心理辅导,以更好地处理自己的情绪和情感问题。
此外,在职场上,正确理解和尊重他人的情绪同样也很重要。尊重他人的情绪需要我们理解并接受他人可能存在的不同看法和观点,以平等的态度对待他人,避免对他人施加压力或干扰他人的工作。这样可以建立良好的职场关系,促进协作和合作,提高工作效率。
总之,在职场上,情绪自由并不意味着随意发泄情绪,正确处理自己的情绪、理解和尊重他人的情绪是非常重要的。这样可以建立积极的职场关系,促进个人和组织的发展。
此外,在职场上,我们需要保持情感独立性,即在处理自己和他人的情绪时,不要让自己的情绪受到他人的影响,也不要过分干涉他人的情绪。要做到理性、客观地看待职场问题,避免情绪上的干扰。
还有一个重要的注意点是,我们需要尽量避免在工作场所和同事之间建立过于私人化的关系。在职场上,我们的首要任务是完成工作、提高能力和业绩,而不是建立和维护亲密的私人关系。如果工作中出现人际冲突,应该理性、公正地处理,避免情感干扰影响工作的正常进行。
在一定程度上,适当的情感表达可以促进职场关系、沟通和协作的顺畅进行。但是,过分依赖情感表达来处理工作问题、过分关注个人情感的表达可能会影响工作效率和职业发展。所以在职场上,需要适当掌握情感表达的度,以更有效地维护职业形象和职场关系。
在职场上,情感表达也需要注重细节。比如,我们应该在适当的时候、适当的场合、适当的方式下进行情感表达,而不是时时刻刻表达自己的情感。同时,我们也要注意情感表达的语言和方式,避免使用过于激烈的语气和行为,这可能会引起他人的反感和不信任。
当然,有时情感表达也可以成为一种职场策略。比如,当我们想要与同事或上级建立更好的沟通和关系时,可以适当地表达自己的情感,增加双方的互信和理解。但是,在使用情感表达作为职场策略时,我们应该把握好分寸,以不影响工作和职业发展为前提。
总而言之,在职场上,情感表达是一项非常重要的职业技能。正确处理自己和他人的情感、保持情感独立性、注重表达细节、适度使用情感表达作为职场策略,都可以促进良好的职场关系、协作和合作,从而提高工作效率和职业发展。
此外,情感表达的能力也是在职场竞争中具有优势的一个方面。通过适当地表达自己的情感,我们可以更好地与同事、上级建立良好的人际关系,获得更多的支持和信任。这不仅能够促进我们工作的顺利推进,还可以让我们在职场上获得更多的机会和发展空间。
当然,在情感表达的过程中,我们也需要注意文化差异和个人差异。不同的文化背景、不同的个人性格会对情感表达产生不同的影响。比如,在一些文化中,过于情感化的表达可能会被视为过于个人化和侵犯隐私;而在一些个人中,情感表达可能会展示出他们的弱点和不足,降低了其在职场上的竞争力。
因此,在情感表达的过程中,需要结合自身的文化背景、个人性格和职场环境进行适当调整。通过拓展自己的情感表达能力,不断学习和反思,我们可以更好地应对职场中的各种挑战和机遇。
带新人,意味着你要重复大量基础的知识技能,这部分输出对你的边际收益极低,几乎没有任何价值。就像你已经高三了,就算你成绩再差,刷小学一年级的题还是碾压式的对吧?但刷再多又有什么意义呢?
带新人,意味着你付出精力,对方收获薪水,公司收获生产力。除非带新人是你收入的组成部分,否则你、新人、公司三者之间,后两者受益,你受罪。
很多管理者布置了工作或任务后,得不到反馈。需要管理者主动寻找下属沟通工作进展。这是所有管理者都不想或不愿意增加的额外工作。不过,一般碰到这样的员工,最后的命运就是被离职。
虚心使人进步,骄傲使人落后。自媒体出现后,很多人用抬杠来掩盖心虚,认为只有杠才能有存在感。老王认为,杠是一种病态心理,虚心才是健康的心态。你也只有虚心了,才能做到态度端正。任何时候,态度不端正,终将会让自己走向不归路。
一个职场新人犯错误并不可怕,但是如果明知道自己犯错误了却不承认,并且还欲盖弥彰,这样就得不偿失了。其实信任犯错误应该第一时间向上级汇报,并且还需要及时的弥补自己的错误,千万不要让错误变成了无法弥补的地步,这样会让老板非常的生气,也会让公司损失更大。
如果你的领导批评你批评错了,你完全可以等领导气消后,再私下找领导沟通问题,把问题解决掉。只要你把问题解决掉,领导之前的错误批评,虽然不会当面道歉,但是可以换成其他机会,比如提拔。
