Time Travel: 2014

This habit has helped Lin Hui a lot before.

Speaking of the classics collected by Lin Hui, the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" must be included.

After all, this book in the previous life can be said to have had a profound influence, and was even once praised as the Bible in the field of computers.

The computer book lists listed by many people basically cover this book. How could Lin Hui not collect such a book?

Sure enough, after some searching, Lin Hui easily found the PDF version corresponding to the Chinese translation and the original version of the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" in a folder called "Learning Materials" on the computer in his previous life.

In the previous life, the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" corresponded to three editions, and Lin Hui has preserved all three editions.

By checking these PDFs, Lin Hui discovered that the first edition of the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" was published in 2004, the second edition was published in 2010, and the third edition was published in 2016.

The years 2004 and 2010 feel somewhat like the past to the current time and space node, and are obviously not suitable for forest ash transportation.

Although it has only been less than five years since then, it is not an exaggeration to say that the progress in the computer field has been rapid since the beginning of the new century.

In this case, the technology from a year ago may become obsolete, let alone the technology from 4 years ago?

In short, in line with the principle of advancing with the times, Lin Hui thinks that if he moves the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" in the future, he will probably move it with slight changes to the third edition of the book in his previous life.

In the "learning materials" folder of his previous life's computer, Lin Hui also found many classic books on computers and computer-derived fields.

I don’t know if there are any of these classic works from previous lives that have not appeared in this time and space.

For those classic works that appeared in this time and space in the previous life but did not appear, it has undoubtedly become a unique benefit for Lin Hui, a reborn person.

Of course, even if it is welfare, Lin Hui has no plans to get involved in the short term.

Having bitten off more than he could chew, Lin Hui had no intention of moving other books before publishing the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems".

Although the book "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" cannot be recommended to He Siyuan.

But it doesn't matter, it's impossible that all the computer books in the previous life will no longer exist in this time and space.

Lin Hui easily picked out a few classic books that he had read well in his previous life and existed in this time and space, and was ready to recommend them to He Siyuan.

However, after choosing it, Lin Hui felt that something was wrong.

Lin Hui remembered that the reason why he recommended some books to He Siyuan instead of directly expressing his views on the industry was to avoid the influence of subjective opinions on He Siyuan.

But now when I am recommending books, what’s the point of recommending a bunch of books that are easy to interest people in the computer science major?

It is a good thing for a computer major to become more interested in this major.

But is it really a good thing for a person like He Siyuan, who has not yet determined his major, to become more interested in computers?

What if He Siyuan was influenced by these classics and really fell into the trap, but after falling into the trap, he discovered that he didn't like computer science that much? What should he do?

Does your current behavior count as inviting others into a trap?

Is this really good?

In the computer and computer-related industries, although Lin Hui is doing pretty well now, this is largely due to the information brought over from his previous life.

Without the advantage of first-mover information, Lin Hui would never choose the computer industry if he had to do it over again.

Without information advantage, in computer and derivative industries, Lin Hui not only would not fall into the trap himself, but also would not advise those around him to fall into the trap.

If nothing else, it is a recognized fact that the computer industry is involved in involution.

All walks of life have a certain degree of involution, but the computer-related industry is definitely one of the industries with the greatest involution.

Take the interviews of some large companies as an example. The interview is to build a rocket and then join the company to tighten the screws.

Even if the work you do is not too complicated, you will still not be used if you cannot meet the entry threshold.

Lin Hui did not just copy the situation on the eve of his rebirth to the current time and space of 14 years.

There were early signs of the computer industry's collapse, but no one cared about it at the time.

Anyway, Lin Hui remembers a fourteen-word mantra when he was an undergraduate in his previous life:

I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes, and I advise you not to learn computers.

At the time it was just a joke, but in the following years it became more and more reasonable.

Although it is meant to be a joke, it is largely true.

The major of accounting is somewhere between science and engineering.

The lower limit is a bit higher than some other engineering majors, but the upper limit is not comparable to most science majors.

If you grow linearly step by step, the position a programmer can reach is very limited.

It is even difficult to climb the ladder in an honest way. Programmers in some positions are very young.

And the other side of these so-called benefits is a variety of occupational diseases.

After a certain age, the benefits of youth quickly depreciate, and then...

Although no one is forever young, there are always young people.

That’s not to say that the computer industry has no future, but Lin Hui feels that one should be extra cautious when entering the trap.

Despite Lin Hui's current situation, if He Siyuan chooses to major in accounting, it will be easy for Lin Hui to support him in the future.

But does a person with an independent character and sound personality really want the support of others deep down?

If He Siyuan also chooses the same direction as Lin Hui.

When the time comes, you can't even see the taillights of Lin Hui's car. Isn't that cruel in another sense?

And the most important thing is that even if you are interested in computers, you may not necessarily develop it as a future major.

Many people who have become monks and engaged in computers are still doing well.

Of course, Lin Hui felt that it was wrong to persuade people to fall into the trap.

But it is even more wrong to directly let people avoid the trap.

In short, Lin Hui feels that there is no need to influence other people's life trajectories through biased suggestions.

Lin Hui decided not only to recommend classic books for getting into the trap, but also to recommend some books that discourage people from quitting.

Let’s assume the ratio of the two is 1:1.

As for what He Siyuan should choose after reading these books, it is up to He Siyuan himself.

How to get someone who wants to work as a programmer to avoid pitfalls?

Lin Hui felt that there was no need for any heavenly book containing profound theoretical knowledge about computers.

There is no need for a confusing textbook like Tan hq's book.

There is no need for books that simply preach on the meaning of life.

Just three mediocre books are enough to dissuade most people who are originally interested in working as programmers.

These three books are: "Getting Software Development Documents Easily: Practical Chapters", "A Practical Guide to Program Maintenance" and "A Practical Guide to Rehabilitation of Cervical Spondylosis for Programmers".

Of course, it doesn’t have to be the same book title.

Other books with similar and homogeneous content to these books also have a good dissuading effect.
