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.

Wang Heng covered his forehead and sighed: "Okay, I understand..."
Chapter completed!
