Often netizens ask me whether there is a future in learning computer science and becoming a programmer. In my personal opinion, no matter which industry you are in, as long as you can be more persistent and pursue excellence, there is no reason not to succeed. God will not treat hardworking people unfairly.

Now let's take a look at a few Internet big shots who came from programmer backgrounds:

1. Microsoft's Bill Gates started computer programming at the age of 13.

2. Baidu's Robin Li participated in the National Youth Programming Competition during his high school days.

3. Tencent's Ma Huateng took on many outsourcing projects to keep that penguin alive.

4. Qihoo 360's Zhou Hongyi felt the tools made by others were not user-friendly, so he enlisted a colleague and stayed up late for 18 days to write 25,000 lines of code and create a new tool.

5. Facebook's Zuckerberg was already a programming master during his university years.

6. JD.com's Liu Qiangdong once developed a catering management system for a fast food restaurant.

7. Xiaomi's Lei Jun earned his first million by writing programs for others while he was a junior in college.

8. WeChat's Zhang Xiaolong - the Foxmail client was independently developed by him when he was starting his business.

9. Toutiao's Zhang Yiming - today, Toutiao is already the No.1 in the field of text and image distribution.

Of course, there are many other Internet big shots and CEOs who are programmers, such as Li Kaifu, Ding Lei, Qiu Bojun, Wang Jiangmin, Shi Yuzhu, etc. If you are interested, go and find out about them yourself. I won't introduce their experiences one by one.
