043 Don't repeat the wheel
There are thousands of employees in the Penguin Building in Rongdu, of which only about half are formal employees of Penguin Company, and the other half are outsourcing, that is, short-term work, and you can check out and leave after the project is completed. However, these outsourcing are basically all jobs such as art, dubbing, etc., while planning and programmers are almost all formal employees.
The reason is very simple. The styles required for horror games and gunfighting games are completely different. The dubbing styles are very different. Always opening high prices to raise talents who are only good at one style is too wasteful of company funds. Therefore, high-priced short-term contracts are the most rational choice and can be accepted by both parties. Programmers are the core jobs, and high-level people can adapt to different types of games, and even projects outside the game can be well-matched. Naturally, they can maintain them for a long time and have work to do.
Therefore, Feng Zhuo was of course confused. Why did his boss insist on hiring an outside programmer? When the outsider arrived, he became confused. A freshman was almost ten years younger than the backbone member of the project team. What can such a little kid do?
When explaining Wang Heng's idea of setting up the project pipeline, Feng Zhuo secretly complained. Although the colleagues next to him didn't say anything, the eyes he cast from time to time showed that they were also ready to watch the fun.
After talking about professional terms, Feng Zhuo concluded: "We have almost the same idea. Sister Lu also said that you should not be dissatisfied and ask if you have any opinions. How about it? Do you have any ideas now?"
Wang Heng nodded: "Yes."
Feng Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned and said with some amusement: "You really have one? OK, what do you have to say, let me tell you."
Wang Heng: "Do you know a word that says don't make wheels again..."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Zhuo laughed: "Who doesn't know this!"
Don’t repeat the wheel, this is a well-known motto in the IT industry. It means that something others have already made, and you don’t need to retrace other people’s path or even try to replace others’ status. As long as someone’s wheel works effectively, then you can use the results of others.
Wang Heng explained: "There is one of the R&D schedules you just mentioned, that they have already created almost the same results. Their results have been opened up, so there is no need for us to do it again, right?"
Feng Zhuo sneered: "I tell you, when we set this agenda, we have read all the R&D tools on the market, and there is absolutely no repetition of creating wheels!"
Seeing that the other party really didn't believe it, Wang Heng could only click github to show him.
The so-called github is a famous code hosting platform. Programmers from all over the world can put their achievements on it for your reference and discussion.
Less than a minute, Wang Heng found a free open source project.
"Here, look at this."
Feng Zhuo stared at the screen, looked at the project introduction, and was stunned.
This seems to be no different from a tool they are about to make?
Feng Zhuo became nervous, snatched the mouse, pressed the scroll wheel and flipped down. The lines of code made him ponder for a long time.
After a long time, he finally confirmed that it was really the same, at least the idea of this large piece of code was exactly the same as what their project team wanted to do.
"But, what about this code?"
Feng Zhuo just talked to himself, but Wang Heng reminded him: "You can copy it down and try it."
The open source code on the github platform can be copied directly without a penny. For any piece of code, the most convincing way to determine whether it really works is to let it run and try it.
So Feng Zhuo immediately copied and pasted the code of this project and ran it.
"Yes... are already so mature? But how is that possible!"
Seeing that the senior's face was stiff, Wang Heng kindly reminded: "This project started more than two months ago, and the last piece of code was posted last week. Perhaps, you have indeed read all the R&D tools on the market, but have forgotten to update it?"
Feng Zhuo's expression calmed down a little: "It should be like this..."
Wang Heng sat firmly at the work station that belonged to him, clicked Lu Qifa's mind map in the group, and started to think silently.
Feng Zhuo sat aside, peeking at him from time to time, still a little shocked in his eyes. Although the code just now was not written by Wang Heng himself, Feng Zhuo could quickly find the most useful part among the vast number of projects on the github platform. This reflected skill is hard for Feng Zhuo to imagine.
A freshman, an 18-year-old boy, is so good, and his future is really hard to limit!
Of course, Feng Zhuo could not have guessed that the reason why Wang Heng was so clear about this wheel was actually because he had more memories of seven years. Among those memories, there were more wheels that would be created but had not yet appeared...
Wang Heng looked at the R&D requirements of those projects and found that several of them were very suitable for him. In other words, they were very suitable for him to take shortcuts.
Just as he was thinking silently, Wang Heng's cell phone ringed.
Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to mute his phone, so he quickly turned off the ringtone and walked quickly towards the tea room.
There are usually no one in the tea room in the office during working hours. When I found that there was only me here, Wang Heng answered the call.
What came from the other end of the phone was a playful voice of a girl: "Agent, classmate, where are you?"
"This title is too strange..." Wang Heng said helplessly, "And haven't I told you that I'm going to the Penguin Building today?"
Pei Ningle: "I know, I just ask which floor you are on in the Penguin Building?"
Wang Heng: "What are you asking about this?"
Pei Ningle: "Because I'm already downstairs."
Hearing this, Wang Heng was startled. He quickly opened the curtains and looked down. Sure enough, there was a familiar figure of a girl at the front entrance of the building. Although the view from a high place was unfamiliar, he could still recognize it, that was Pei Ningle.
"What are you doing here!"
Perhaps because Wang Heng's tone was a little irritable, there was a hint of hesitation in the girl's voice: "Because the booking time for the room in the hotel has come, I originally wanted to renew it, but the money was not enough... And you said, I want to find a rental house for me."
"When did I say I would help you find a rental house?"
Wang Heng remembered that what he said was to ask her to find a place to stay by herself.
The girl asked weakly: "But you are an agent. Shouldn't the agent help in such matters?"
Wang Heng covered his forehead and sighed: "Okay, I understand..."
