Crossover: 2014

Chapter 15 A World Without GitHub?
Although Lin Hui has the idea of ​​developing some new applications, but at this moment, there are no more feasible ideas in his mind.

Not only Lin Hui, many programmers are actually in the same situation.

There are a lot of programming skills in vain, but there is no inspiration anytime, anywhere.

Occasionally some unconstrained ideas often cannot be realized because of their low feasibility.

And the programmers themselves don't want to be creative, that's usually the job of the product manager.

But to be honest, the product manager is not very capable. . .

What should Lin Hui do in this situation in his previous life?

Naturally head over to GitHub for some inspiration!
The so-called GitHub is a hosting platform for open source and private software projects. Because it only supports Git as the only repository format for hosting, it is named GitHub.

Simply put, GitHub is a source code version management tool.

In fact, many companies' code is now hosted on GitHub, which has the advantage of being able to work anywhere with an Internet connection.

In later generations, GitHub's official website was once the world's largest social programming and code hosting website.

In the IT world, or all people involved in software programming jobs, it is estimated that GitHub's name is known.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an artifact in the programmer world.

But now it seems that the situation is a little troublesome.

Lin Hui searched for "GitHub" on Google and found that the official website was not found.

what's the situation?
No, according to Lin Hui's memory, GitHub should have existed as early as 08.

But think of the developer incentive plan that AppStore inexplicably appeared before.

Lin Hui panicked unconsciously. Could it be that a little bit of deviation has occurred in this world again, can't we do without GitHub?

If Ahri was gone, Lin Hui might jump up excitedly, but GitHub should forget it.

Uh, in layman's terms, what's the difference between a coder without GitHub and an lsp without a website?
αpple's developer incentive plan may be said to be an accident.

If GitHub is gone, wouldn't the world have too many variables?

In that case, Lin Hui is not sure whether the information he knows is still of such great value!
Fortunately, after searching keywords for a while, Lin Hui found that the timeline experienced by GitHub in this world is basically the same as the original world.

Still on April 2008, 4, GitHub was officially launched.

Still on January 2014 of this year (1), co-founder Tom Preston-Werner took over the position of president from another co-founder, Chris Wanstras...

But the difference is that in this world, GitHub inexplicably suffered a large-scale DNS hijacking incident at the end of January this year.

Although it is not clear how much impact this has had on GitHub.

But since then, GitHub unilaterally announced that it will conduct a comprehensive security upgrade, and the website will be temporarily suspended for a period of time.

How long does it take to run?!
Lin Hui was speechless.

How can you find inspiration happily without the ideas of big guys for reference.

No good ideas emerged, and Lin Hui stopped thinking about developing software for the time being.

After all, the time has come to the middle of the night, sleep and sleep, the dog's life is important.

……

By the time Lin Hui woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning on the 11th.

The first thing Lin Hui did was to check the data on his personal developer account in the AppStore.

Today's expected active downloads are in the region of 70.

Not even half as good as the first day.

It is not incomprehensible that this happens.

After all, those who are really interested in the game "Life Restart Simulator" and have the desire to buy basically boarded the ship on the first day.

Most of these downloads are "coerced" by the topics of people around them and media public opinion.

As time goes by, this kind of "coerced" downloads will become less and less as the popularity of the game declines.

In addition, the game of re-opening the life simulator itself is easy to get tired of playing...

In another three or four days, the daily effective downloads of this game can barely maintain four digits, which is considered very good.

But it doesn't matter, Lin Hui's goal of making the first pot of gold with this small game has been achieved.

And even if the number of downloads today is only 70, it can still bring Lin Hui an income of at least 280 million.

Although the speed of making money is still incomparable to that of a big money player.

But it's not too slow, at least it didn't embarrass the reborn.

As for the money he earned, Lin Hui didn't plan to tell his parents yet.

It's not that he doesn't trust his parents, the main thing is that Lin Hui's wealth is still in a changing stage.

It's not too late to wait until the income is roughly stable.

As for how to spend the money in the future, Lin Hui only has a vague direction and no clear plan for the time being.

But it is necessary to buy a house first.

Although a family like Lin Hui's will not be short of housing in the future, what the elders give and what he earns are two different things after all.

And man, who hasn't imagined that there is a "secret base" or something like that.

What's more, Lin Hui really has a secret at this time!

A "secret base" is urgently needed.

……

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, I was sitting in the living room of a villa in Mingpin International.

Lin Hui felt unreal?This house is mine now?
The handover procedures are not too complicated. Basically, Lin Hui is only responsible for swiping the card and various signatures and it's over.

Speaking of which, originally Lin Hui only wanted to buy an ordinary residential building.

But at this time, even the latest real estate developed by a well-known domestic real estate company gave Lin Hui a feeling that the design was outdated and outdated by five or six years.

That being the case, it's better to buy the villa directly, anyway, Lin Hui is not short of money.

And one thing to say, compare it with later generations.

Even for villas, the price at this time is not even as expensive as residential buildings in later generations.

440 square meters of hardcover villas, with a garden outside.

Lin Hui only spent 262 million to get it done.

Although from the current point of view, the location here is a bit far from the city center.

But Lin Hui knows that with the implementation of a series of layouts in the city, not only is this place no longer remote, but it has become the closest villa area to the core area of ​​the new business district.

Lin Hui remembers that in 21 years, the price of Mingpin International Phase II not far from Lin Hui's current villa even rose to 22391 yuan/㎡.

In other words, it will take around 985 million for Lin Hui to buy such a villa in later generations.

In this case, it is not too much to say that buying is earning.

What's more, the layout of this villa is very reasonable, and the decoration style suits Lin Hui's taste.

But, nonetheless.

It was night, but Lin Hui still returned to his original residence.

According to the habits of the place where the forest ash is located.

Even if the new house is well-decorated and well-furnished, it must be vacant for a period of time before moving in.
