Chapter 239: Classic water pipe repair: the more you repair, the more it leaks
Luo Wenkun still remembers that when they were doing the Daichuang experiment, they needed to use a supercomputer to search for the accretion flares of the primordial black hole.
At that time, Luo Wenkun also tried to use his connections to find a master 's degree student at Jinghua University and borrow the supercomputer from his instructor through him.
But in the end, it was Xu You who, through his instructor, allowed them to use the supercomputer.
Luo Wenkun could never have imagined that not only was he inferior to Xu You in study and scientific research, but he was even left behind by Xu You in terms of personal connections.
"Xu You was not like this during the national training camp for physical education." Luo Wenkun thought to himself.
At that time, apart from studying every day, Xu You rarely communicated with others.
Luo Wenkun didn't understand how Xu You knew so many professors in college.
In the following time, Peng Jun explained to Xu You and the other three some key points that need to be paid attention to in app development.
Due to time constraints, Peng Jun could not explain in detail. He could only briefly talk about the process and picked out a few key points for key explanations.
Even so, the four of them learned a lot in these few hours.
After coming out of Peng Jun's office, Luo Wenkun said to Xu You :
"I originally thought that we were all computer novices. I didn't expect that you, Xu You, had already learned all this knowledge. No, I will definitely drag you to my company in the future and let you write some code for me."
"Haha, that's no problem. One of my childhood dreams was to create my own software."
"But Xu You, seriously, what is your level of computer skills? Are you better than the programmers I poached from those big companies?"
"That... I can't really say. I've never done any pure programming work. I just use computer knowledge to assist in some scientific research."
Luo Wenkun knew that Xu You had always been accustomed to downplaying his abilities.
If Xu You said so, it is very likely that his ability is no worse than those old programmers.
If I encounter problems in software development in the future, I may really need to ask Xu You for help.
On this day, Luo Wenkun invited Xu You and others to visit Luo Wenkun's company.
Everyone was very interested in this kind of technology company and readily accepted Luo Wenkun's invitation.
Luo Wenkun’s company is not far from Ji University. It only took Luo Wenkun twenty minutes to drive them from Ji University to the company.
This is a very nice office building in a great location, and you can tell the rent won't be cheap.
What Xu You and others did not expect was that Luo Wenkun actually rented a floor of the building as the company's office.
The entire company already has dozens of employees, and it can be considered a fairly large company.
"The development of the Android version of our Xueba Community app has been basically completed and is currently being tested. If there are no major problems, the Android beta version should be ."
The mobile phones on the market now are mainly based on Android and iOS systems.
Because of the differences between the two systems, the languages required for development are also different.
In terms of user numbers, Android users are more than iOS users, which is why Luo Wenkun chose the Android system version for development.
Of course, if the Android version is successfully developed, the development of the iOS version is only a matter of time.
At this time, a programmer said to Luo Wenkun:
"Mr. Luo, after we fixed the last bug, this bug seems to have become more serious."
When they heard the word "bug", Xu You and Lou Song felt very excited for some reason.
Although Xu You and Lou Song are not computer majors, their computer proficiency exceeds that of most computer majors.
Since there is a bug, it means that the bug can be fixed.
The feeling of locating and fixing bugs gives them an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
As the boss of the company, Luo Wenkun naturally doesn't want to hear the word "bug".
"Mr. Wang, is this bug serious?"
This programmer is called Wang Zhi. He was hired from a large company by Luo Wenkun at a high salary. He is also one of the leaders of the company now.
"Didn't we say before that there would be occasional freezes during our testing? The probability of such freezes is very small, and it will only occur once in tens of thousands of times. It may have a certain impact on the user experience. Of course, if it is released directly, there shouldn't be too many problems. The products we have made before also have such problems."
It is indeed common for apps to freeze.
In addition to lags, there are even cases where the system freezes completely.
But Luo Wenkun thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea to publish it directly.
If the number of users increases in the future, the frequency of lag will become higher and higher, which will definitely affect the user experience.
"So after fixing this bug, what new situation has arisen?"
"After the fix, the chance of freezing has indeed dropped a lot. But as a result, the app's energy consumption has become very high, almost twice as much as before. And this is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon."
Hearing this, Luo Wenkun felt a little helpless.
It turns out that after fixing a small bug, a bigger bug appeared.
At this moment, the classic animated picture of a leaky water pipe that kept leaking appeared in Xu You's mind.
The water pipe was only leaking a little, with only a drop of water dripping for a few seconds.
After the first repair was completed, a second leak appeared in the pipe and the leakage became faster.
After several repairs.
The water pipe finally broke completely and the whole house was flooded.
The entire animated picture vividly describes the sad journey of a programmer fixing a bug.
“Mr. Wang, please continue to fix this bug. If a bunch of bugs appear right after the app is released, it will affect the user experience. For a new app, it is really discouraging.”
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Luo."
Wang Zhi knew that this young company boss had a very complicated background.
Not only is he a student of Ji University, but his net worth is over 100 million.
You must never think that he is easy to mess with just because he is young.
"Well, this problem still needs to be identified and solved as soon as possible. The release of our app has been delayed for a long time. If it is delayed any further, this semester will soon be over."
At this time, Xu You and Lou Song looked at each other.
Both of them are very interested in solving this problem.
