【翻译】Learn in public (公开学习)

前言

关于翻译的一些感想:

曾经以为翻译很简单,“不就是把一种语言转换成另一种语言而已嘛,有什么难的?”
直到我自己慢慢开始翻译一些文章后,才意识到,翻译并不是一件“很简单”的事情。
“翻译”这件事情如果想要做到“信、雅、达”这三点其实是一件“很难”的事情。

开始的时候,不要害怕翻译的“很烂”,因为刚开始也只能翻译的很烂。
谁能一开始就将一件事情做的完美呢?
我要做的,就只能是持续的积累,公开翻译更多的文章。有了足够量的积累,才会有质的变化。


Learn in public (公开学习)

If there’s a golden rule, it’s this one, so I put it first. All the other rules are more or less elaborations of this rule #1.

如果有黄金法则存在,那就是这一条,所以我把它放在最前面。所有其他法则或多或少都与这条有关。

You already know that you will never be done learning. But most people “learn in private”, and lurk. They consume content without creating any themselves. Again, that’s fine, but we’re here to talk about being in the top quintile. What you do here is to have a habit of creating learning exhaust:

你已经知道你永远不会停止学习。但大多数人“私下学习”,并潜伏着。他们消费内容但不创造自己的内容。同样,这很好,但我们在这里谈论的是进入前20%。你在这里所做的是要有一个创造学习疲劳的习惯:

  • Write blogs and tutorials and cheatsheets.
  • Speak at meetups and conferences.
  • Ask and answer things on Stackoverflow or Reddit. Avoid the walled gardens like Slack and Discord, they’re not public.
  • Make Youtube videos or Twitch streams.
  • Start a newsletter.
  • Draw cartoons (people loooove cartoons!).
  • 写博客、教程、备忘单
  • 在聚会和会议上发言
  • 在 Stackoverflow 或 Reddit 上提问和回答。避免在 Slack 和 Discord 这样的围墙花园这样做,它们不是开放的。
  • 制作 Youtube 视频,或者 Twitch 流
  • 开始一个 newsletter
  • 画卡通(人们非常非常非常喜欢卡通!)

Whatever your thing is, make the thing you wish you had found when you were learning. Don’t judge your results by “claps” or retweets or stars or upvotes - just talk to yourself from 3 months ago. I keep an almost-daily dev blog written for no one else but me.

无论你的事情是什么,制作你希望在你学习的时候想找到的东西。不要通过“拍手”、转发、标星、赞成票来判断你的结果——就和3个月前的自己对话吧。 我有一个几乎日更的开发博客,不写给任何人,除了我自己。

Guess what? It’s not about reaching as many people as possible with your content. If you can do that, great, remember me when you’re famous. But chances are that by far the biggest beneficiary of you trying to help past you is future you. If others benefit, that’s icing.

猜一猜怎么了?这并不是关于让你的内容触达尽可能多的人。如果你能做到那点,很好,当你变得有名时别忘了我。但很可能到目前为止,你试图帮助曾经的你的最大受益者是未来的你。如果其他人受益了,那只是锦上添花。

Oh you think you’re done? Don’t stop there:

哦,你认为这就结束了?不要停在这儿:

  • Enjoyed a coding video? Reach out to the speaker/instructor and thank them, and ask questions.
  • Make PR’s to libraries you use.
  • Make your own libraries no one will ever use.
  • Clone stuff you like, from scratch, to see how they work.
  • Teach workshops.
  • Go to conferences and summarize what you learned.
  • 喜欢编码视频?那就与演讲者/讲师联系,感谢他们,并提出问题。
  • 向你使用的库提 PR。
  • 制作你自己的库,即使没其他人使用它。
  • 克隆你喜欢的东西,从头开始,看看它们是如何工作的。
  • 讲授讲习班。
  • 去参加会议,并总结你所学到的。

If you’re tired of creating one-off things, start building a persistent knowledge base that grows over time. Open Source your Knowledge! At every step of the way: Document what you did and the problems you solved.

如果你厌倦了创造一次性的东西,那么,开始构建一个随着时间推移而增长的持久性知识库。开源你的知识!在这个过程中:记录你所做的,以及解决了什么问题。

The subheading under this rule would be: Try your best to be right, but don’t worry when you’re wrong. Repeatedly. If you feel uncomfortable, or like an impostor, good. You’re pushing yourself. Don’t assume you know everything, but try your best anyway, and let the internet correct you when you are inevitably wrong. Wear your noobyness on your sleeve.

在这条规则之下的所要遵循的是:尽力做到正确,但当你错了的时候不要担心。反复进行。如果你感到不舒服,或像一个骗子,很好。你在推动你自己。不要假设你知道所有,但无论如何都要尽力而为,当你不可避免的犯错时让互联网纠正你。把菜鸟标识戴在袖子上。

People think you suck? Good. You agree. Ask them to explain, in detail, why you suck. You want to just feel good or you want to be good? No objections, no hurt feelings. Then go away and prove them wrong. Of course, if they get abusive block them.

人们认为你很烂?很好。你同意。要求他们详情解释,为什么你很烂。**你只是想要感到很好还是你想要成为很好?**没有异议,没有伤害感情。然后走开,证明他们是错的。当然,如果他们辱骂你,拉黑他们。

Did I mention that teaching is the best way to learn? Talk while you code. It can be stressful and I haven’t done it all that much but my best technical interviews have been where I ended up talking like I teach instead of desperately trying to prove myself. We’re animals, we’re attracted to confidence and can smell desperation.

我提过教是学的最好方式吗?一边写代码一边思考。这可能会有压力,我并没有做那么多,但我最好的技术面试,是我最终像我教的那样说话,而不是拼命地试图证明自己。我们是动物,我们受自信的吸引,并且能闻到绝望的情绪。

At some point you’ll get some support behind you. People notice genuine learners. They’ll want to help you. Don’t tell them, but they just became your mentors. This is very important: Pick up what they put down. Think of them as offering up quests for you to complete. When they say “Anyone willing to help with __ __?” you’re that kid in the first row with your hand already raised. These are senior engineers, some of the most in-demand people in tech. They’ll spend time with you, 1 on 1, if you help them out (p.s. and there’s always something they want help on). You can’t pay for this stuff. They’ll teach you for free. Most people don’t see what’s right in front of them. But not you.

在某个时刻在你身后你将获得一些支持。人们注意到真诚的学习者。他们会想要帮助你。 别告诉他们,但是他们刚刚成为了你的导师。这非常重要:捡起他们放下的东西。把它们看作是为你提供的任务来完成。 当他们说"有谁愿意帮助__ __?",你是那个坐在第一排已经举起手的小孩。这些是高级工程师,是科技界最需要的一批人。如果你帮助他们,他们将花时间给你,和你1对1交流。(ps:他们总有一些事情需要帮助)。你不可能买到这些东西。他们将免费教授你。大多数人看不到他们眼前的东西。但不是你。

“With so many junior devs out there, why will they help me?”, you ask.

你会问:“有那么多初级开发者需要帮助,他们为什么会帮助我?”

Because you learn in public. By teaching you, they teach many. You amplify them. You have one thing they don’t: a beginner’s mind. You see how this works?

因为你在公开学习。通过教你,他们教会了很多人。你放大了他们所教的知识。你有一个他们没有的心态:初学者心态。你知道这是怎么回事吗?

At some point people will start asking you for help because of all the stuff you put out. 80% of developers are “dark”, they dont write or speak or participate in public tech discourse. But you do. You must be an expert, right? Don’t tell them you aren’t. Answer best as you can, and when you’re stuck or wrong pass it up to your mentors.

在某个时刻,人们将会开始因为你所发布的东西向你求助。80%的开发者是处在“黑暗”状态中的,他们不在公开技术讨论的地方写作、演讲、参与。但是你做了。你一定是个专家,对吧?不要告诉他们你不是。尽你所能的回答,当你遇到困难或错误时,把它交给你的导师。

Eventually you run out of mentors, and just solve things on your own. You’re still putting out content though. You see how this works?

最终,你的导师不能帮助你了,你只能自己解决问题。你仍然在发布内容。你看看这是怎么回事?

Learn in public.

公开学习。

p.s. Eventually, they’ll want to pay you for your help too. A lot more than you think.

p.s. 最终,他们也会想为你的帮助付费。比你想象的要多得多。
