This is a lie. Brother Dong didn’t have a computer at the time, so he couldn’t make money by programming. Brother Dong has two reasons for bragging: first, he wants to get some "Internet qualifications" for himself who is in the Internet industry but is not from the Internet; second, he wants to wash away the dark history of making a fortune from soft rice. Brother Dong himself has said several versions on this point.

Version 1: This is a relatively early version. Brother Dong said that he used his spare time in the evening to teach himself programming, but he did not have a computer, so he drew a keyboard on the bed board and typed on the textbook. Learned from bed board. This version contains too much bragging and is obviously too fake.

Version 2: This is a later improved version. This version is also said to be learned at night. I don’t have a computer, so I asked a relative to borrow one, but this computer can only be used by him at night. I used this computer, which could only be used at night, to teach myself programming in my dormitory. This version is relatively more credible, but it is actually very fake. Computers at that time were rare commodities, costing about 20,000 RMB each (the average monthly income at that time was 300-500 RMB). Most of them were purchased by the public, and those who bought a private computer were not ordinary people. Brother Dong just scraped together 500 yuan to sew in his crotch when he went to school. How could he have a wealthy relative who borrowed a computer as soon as he could afford it? In addition, it is suspicious that it cannot be used during the day and can only be used at night. The computers at that time were all desktop computers, which were large and heavy. If the computer was placed in Dongge's dormitory, why couldn't it be used during the day? Could it be that his relatives came here every day to move out during the day and move back in at night? Is it really possible to transport valuables back and forth like this every day?
