Why don't programmers write their own programs and sell them, but they have to get paid in the company?

We know that programmers are very hard work, and there are many jokes about programmers in the workshop, all of which are poking fun at programmers' salary and hair. Although there are many jokes and jokes aimed at programmers, we know that programmers are still a very high-tech profession, and not everyone can hold this profession. And many friends will wonder why, since programmers earn so much, it proves that the programs they write are also very valuable. Why don't they just sell these programs they wrote to big companies or directly to the market? Maybe they can earn more income, far better than having to revise their work repeatedly every day.

In fact, any successful program, recognized by people in the market, can not be done by one person. The whole company's team is behind it. Even if programmers write the core code for these programs, they need an excellent team of graphic designers to turn these programs from boring numbers into eye-catching patterns. For example, a company designed a new game. It is not enough for a game to have a program. You also need a beautiful interface and beautiful character design. When making game animation, you also need a professional 3d modeler to operate it. At the same time, after the game is completed, the copywriter is needed to help modify the script, various dialogues and the world view of the game.

In addition, after a game is finished, the marketing department needs to conduct research to see how many potential users there are, and there must be a special marketing manager to help promote the game, otherwise no one will know the program at all. Therefore, a programmer who writes a program himself and wants to sell it to people in the market must first have the ability to sell it. Secondly, it is not enough to have the core of the program. It takes a long process of polishing and packaging to become a commodity on the market.

In fact, it is not without programmers who have tried to make their own software and sell it. However, this process is very long, and at the same time, the demand for his personal workload is very high, so many people can't bear the double pressure of economy and spirit and choose to give up. At the same time, working in the company, not only can you have relatively stable five insurances, one gold and various benefits, but you can also coordinate with other colleagues in your team, which can not only reduce your workload, but also spend all your thoughts on the most core places worth learning, without worrying about the problem of financial break.
