Chinese entertainment for engineering students

The entire system will be divided into two major parts, software and hardware. After being roughly divided, there will be a general operating system, audio processing software, task distribution system, audio processing sub-machine, integrated storage, cache management, tape unit management, network management and A bunch of subsystems for routing and so on, and then broken down into hundreds of smaller task modules.

These modules will be contracted out in the form of agile group tasks. Students can form teams freely and take on tasks freely. The task distribution center was named "Mercenary Union" by Wang Xu, which was a common configuration in the early days of online novels.

As for each agile team, it is naturally the "mercenary team".

This name came to mind when Wang Xu in his previous life came into contact with so-called agile development for the first time. In the previous life, China promoted agile development to great effect, but few companies successfully implemented agile development. In fact, this thing is really no different from the mercenary team mode in early fantasy novels.

Wang Xu lived overseas for a period of time in his previous life and worked in a company in Chou Country for many years. There, you can easily recruit the best programmers in the world, from China, Iran, Eastern Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia, Bangkok, and of course Asan.

These programmers are well-trained and have the smartest minds. They have the excellent ability to complete a project independently, so agile development is simply tailor-made for such elite companies.

Everyone can act independently, will not get upset when faced with all kinds of weird problems, and can quickly find solutions. They really don’t need any middle-level leaders. A few people can start working together, and the things that come out are fast and good.

During development, various documents are almost completely unnecessary. How about communication in meetings? what is that. I have done all the work I have to tell you. Writing comments is the greatest kindness to latecomers.

If the product manager has a whimsical idea, they will hold a meeting and decide on a certain feature to be developed. When the developer sees this crap, he can't do it, so there will be a situation where the task is hung up and no one takes it at all.

The last thing is that the product is not working at first glance and no one is doing it. After asking the programmers, we know what the problem is, so let’s change the requirements. If it makes sense, someone will naturally take over the task, and then it will proceed smoothly without too much fussing.

Wang Xu remembered that one day, the manager of their development team died. Then the boss asked their team, who among you wants to be the manager, everyone shook their heads, and then let it go.

Later, maybe the boss realized that it made no difference whether there was a manager or not, so his team simply remained without a manager, and the efficiency was actually the highest in the company.

This is agile development. Morning meetings, standing meetings, and final meetings are all just formalities. The core of agile development is that small teams independently decide whether to accept tasks or not.

No one needs to worry about how long it will take to complete the development and the progress. They will communicate and complete it themselves. The product manager only needs to connect and accept the intermediate results. When something goes wrong, the entire team shares the responsibility and no one can escape.

A group of domestic IT elites like Ali obviously don't even have the right to refuse tasks. They brag about their agile development all day long, and even get various certifications in a decent manner. It's embarrassing.

The form that was finally created was greater than reality. The emphasis was all on form, agile development, light documentation, simple communication, and fast pace. None of the advantages of fast pace were left. It was not even as efficient as the traditional model.

However, they also monopolize the right to speak in IT, making the whole country look different, with 996 everywhere, and it is a complete mess.

When ordinary companies implement agile development, they will immediately face the situation of insufficient employee capabilities. Many people may be blinded by changing projects, and they can only continue to work in the same field.

If you rashly follow the trend and implement agile development at this time, you will eventually find that except for a bunch of meaningless morning and evening meetings, development is still the same as before.

To be honest, the domestic IT elite circle really doesn't use IT elites. They train all the unruly wolves into dogs and take pride in working overtime every day. That is a shame for programmers, okay?

The fact that you work overtime every day can only mean one problem. Either your company's arrangements are wrong, or your ability is far below the company's expectations. What you need to do is either improve yourself or change to more convenient tools. This is how many software tools come to be.

Wang Xu remembers that when he was in Chou Country, many of the company's tools were developed by programmers themselves.

For example, there was no search engine specifically for viewing logs at that time. Therefore, Wang Xu developed a set of small tools that can crawl all required logs on the server and sort them according to his own needs, and then shared them on the company's intranet, and everyone downloaded and used them.

Soon everyone had a copy, and then someone made updates and iterations. They didn't even need to say hello to each other to know what functions needed to be added. By the time Wang Xu left the company, the tool was almost ready for sale.

Why Kungfu development tools? Because I don’t work overtime, I have time to think about what made me unhappy this week. If you are unhappy, you have to solve it, so you have tools, and then you become more efficient and have more time, and then the cycle starts. This is how elite programmers use it.

Ahem, I went astray.

Wang Xu wrote it in great detail. If it weren't for computers, Wang Xu would have had to write this plan alone for a year. Thanks to the Wubi input method invented by Professor Wang Jiangmin, people in this era can quickly enter text, and the speed is not inferior to that of later generations of Internet writers.

From the system assembly to the task modules, the acceptance criteria of each module, the splitting of software parts, and the determination of functions, anyway, a document of hundreds of thousands of words would weigh more than ten kilograms when printed.

Several roommates, watching classmate Wang Xu work tirelessly to make this super heavy plan slowly take shape, they really understood who is the father.

This is also thanks to the fact that Wang Xu has a ready-made functional description of each module in his mind. If it were anyone else, it would probably cost a lot of manpower and material resources to design this thing.

Finally, a week later, when all the plans were completed, all the roommates and Uncle Qiang were stunned. They knew that this roommate was a god, but they really didn't expect him to be so godly.

They have already read most of this plan. The breadth of content, the clarity of ideas, and the clear direction are all amazing.

What is even more peculiar is the management model. It is not any common technology development management method in the world today, but a fully open and fully free model.

This is Wang Xu's personal bad taste, which is completely free to play. The domestic intellectual property protection system is empty in this era and has almost no effect at all.

Then Wang Xu's idea is to simply treat it as if there is no one to protect it, and build a sharing system first.

First, an intellectual property management foundation is established, which is responsible for applying for and maintaining patents and other intellectual property rights. Earn revenue by charging profitable users and making donations.

The income is not directly attributed to the individual. The income is based on a points system. Everyone will get their own points based on the number of citations of your achievements multiplied by an intellectual property base.

All designs and code parts are maintained in a shared manner within China, and any directly related successor intellectual property rights are required to be included in the foundation for management.

In other words, any product built on the basis of these things can be commercialized and the payment of intellectual property fees can be suspended when no commercial benefits are obtained. The intellectual property fee is priced according to the specific content used, but it must not exceed 20% of the total selling price.

The foundation will publish detailed financial reports every year and disclose various operating costs. It promises to distribute dividends no less than 20% of the profits every year, and use at least 50% of the remaining profits to expand and improve the existing knowledge base. Will it make any non-technological research and development investments?

The advantage of this intellectual property pool is that it can easily accommodate all kinds of weird things developed under the guidance of Wang Xu, and these things will be disclosed to the whole society for a reasonable fee.

Wang Xu has too many ideas in his mind, and some of them can be directly redeemed, so that he can directly obtain profits. Others are just ideas, like this time’s “supercomputing.”

Although he has a prototype in his mind, it is not a finished product after all and cannot be reproduced one by one. It has to be done by a team of people, so he has to design a system to adapt to his endless new ideas.

There is no charge for the patent pool in the initial stage, nor does it charge before the company makes a profit. This will trigger a large number of domestic companies to produce and sell, and there will be no need to spend too much effort to promote it. These companies don't pay much attention to research and development. Instead of letting them pirate, it's better to wait until they are ready to use it before cutting leeks.

It is difficult to fight one patent lawsuit, but it is not difficult to fight a bunch of patent lawsuits. It is much simpler to let a professional patent lawyer do it than to protect the patent of a single company. This is what many patent troll companies do.

Moreover, the use of patents within the patent pool is interchangeable. That is to say, if you hand in a patent, your points can be directly exchanged for the corresponding patent use costs, or you can participate in subsequent dividends, which will be given to the merchants who use the patent. A little motivation to continue research and development.

In this project, all developers can face three choices. One is to give up all future income and directly receive project commissions. Second, you can choose to retain future earnings and give up project commissions. Three, you can take a part of each.

As for which one is more, only God knows. Wang Xu didn't know either, because he hadn't tested it at all, it was just his own fickle speculation.

However, Wang Xu knew that at least the commission figure for this project was really not high. Each small task only cost dozens to hundreds. At most, he could earn hard money.

The so-called future is even more illusory. Wang Xu doesn't know if anyone will produce this thing or if it will be sold. He originally planned to get a set and use it first.

As for whether it’s expensive to buy a set of tuning equipment that costs tens or millions, Wang Xu said it doesn’t matter, just sell a few more clothes and come out. The small shop doesn’t make a fortune every day, but it has never been short. Wang Xu’s money.

As for Tang Yun, she was a little afraid to take the 10% of the stock, and she told Wang Xu several times that she didn't want it. Wang Xu just smiled. Who knows that he didn't expect it at the beginning. He just asked her to speed up her studies and expand in the future.

Now she is studying hard so that she can grow up to be worthy of this income. In addition to English, I am also studying some basic courses and plan to take the entrance exam for TV University.

The commission was set with his own support and the support from the department in mind. After all, he is a student, so you can't give him too high a salary, otherwise the teacher will come to grab his job.

Therefore, in the eyes of teachers, it is the right thing to do without paying students for their work. Although Wang Xu is a student, he agrees with this view. Who asked him to pay for it?

Shuimu's campus network has not yet been completed, and even if it is completed, it will not be able to reach the dormitory for a while, but Wang Xu still added the mercenary employment management system as a subsystem to the entire project, and the name was "Mercenary" "World" (reminiscent of the ancient times of Internet writing).

I don’t know when the big project will be completed. Maybe the campus network will be laid out one day. As for what to do when there is no network, use cards to record it, and then enter it manually after the system is established.

As for whether it will work or not, who knows, anyway, now he is the one investing and doing his own thing, so what are you afraid of? If a time traveler doesn't cause trouble, is he still a time traveler?

What, foundations are not allowed? That's okay. I'll set up a company to manage the head office first. Anyway, it's all my own at the beginning, and we'll talk about the rest later.

Regardless of whether it's good or bad, let's give it a try anyway. That's what Wang Xu planned. He was young and energetic, and he didn't know that his roommate and party secretary, who were so generous, also thought the same way, so they rushed to the department office excitedly carrying thick piles of information. go.

They are all young people, young and ignorant of worries. Although his mental age is that he should be buried in the grave, Wang Xu blends into it and enjoys it endlessly. Reliving my college days, the happiest thing is of course not the classes, but the youthful spirit and blaming Fang Qiu.

Several people had actually read the plan completely when Wang Xu came up with it, and had deeply participated in the discussion. They knew who could do what.

Shuimu students are also students. High IQ does not mean sufficient social experience. They are full of longing for the future and have unlimited trust in their own abilities. This is not arrogance. It is true that although they do not learn everything quickly, it does not take long to learn the same type of things.

Wang Xu had a classmate in his previous life who found a job in software development, so he spent a week learning the languages, mathematics, and data structures needed for development, and was promoted not long after joining the job.

Among the few people, Uncle Qiang is obviously the person in charge of project outreach, responsible for the application and subsequent use of project funds. This person is down-to-earth and his character is recognized by the whole class.

It's easy for most people to make mistakes when it comes to managing money, but Uncle Qiang has really never had any problems. Although the amount of this project will be large, there is still an accountant, and he does not need to count the money in detail.

Boss Zhan loves to show off his achievements, so wouldn't it be shameful to take on a few small tasks without leading a team?

Dadong is good at communication, has a good overall view, and has a relatively extensive knowledge base in all aspects, so he took over the task summary work.

Zhou Feng is not someone who loves to study or work. He is responsible for managing the bulletin board of the mercenary world. Well, it started out as a bulletin board, real, solid wood.

Hu Ershui? Oh, he went to play football, but he is not here today. He will probably join a certain team. He doesn't like to stand out.
