At the beginning of 2020, our generation, who have been used to the fast pace of life, will collectively “slow down”.
Slowing down gives me more time to think. Turned over last year’s year-end summary, everywhere revealed fast and much, even can smell a trace of utilitarian taste. I think a lot of people, like me, need to subtract and slow down.
This year’s year-end summary, without those popular content, only to talk about my self-review.
About writing
As a former “prolific blogger”, I posted over 50 original tech blogs in 2019. This year, I probably wrote less than 20 original articles and gradually became a “monthly blogger”. Why did the number decrease by nearly half when the working and living conditions did not change much from last year?
Because I want to write slowly.
Writing is the process of putting your deepest thoughts into words. The point is to think deeply, not to write. Here are some of my favorite bloggers of the year whose posts deserve to be chewed over.
- But the qing Mei smell, very deep reflection series
- KunMinx, a rare column relearning Android
- Flywith24, specializing in the output of Android systematic articles
- Gracker, focusing on Android performance optimization
- .
Really good writing has a soul. It delivers not words and code, but ideas that will truly stay. If you follow these bloggers, you can see the deep thinking behind their posts. That’s what I’m missing right now. So don’t just write with your head buried in your head, stop to think, slow down your writing, and output something truly meaningful.
It’s not just the writer who needs to slow down, but the reader as well. We live in an age of information explosion and are fed intelligent recommendations by algorithms every day. As a result, many of us have learned to speed-read. This year I subtracted a lot from my sources, eliminating most smart recommendations to slow down my reading and try to improve it.
I’d like to recommend two very good books I read this year. One is the philosophical principles of operating system (2nd edition) by Teacher Zou Hengming, and the other is by teacher Bai Xianyong from Taipei. In my opinion, they are all good books to ask for. If you are interested, you can read it on Wechat Reading.
In addition, I would like to recommend Rss. In the middle of this year, I had the idea of making an Rss client, but for various reasons, I did not make a finished product. I’ll do it later if I get a chance.
About life
Since the epidemic began, life has slowed down, with a large family of rare people thinking about food at home every day. After resuming work, I changed a job closer to home, but I didn’t get up quickly.
A quick rundown of my slow day.
Get up at 7:30 on weekdays, I am responsible for dressing the children, my wife is responsible for making breakfast. Leave the house at 8:10 and bike for 40 minutes to work. After work at six o ‘clock, they went home to play with each other. Under normal circumstances, the two children had to sleep until 10:30. Then it’s my personal time, turning on the computer, reading a few articles, writing a few lines of code, typing a few lines of text. There are only two things to do on weekends: play with your child and study with your child.
As life slows down, so does the presence of children. As a person who has experienced the life of left-behind children, I know the importance of companionship for children. Whenever I see a child sleeping in bed who has grown so big, I always think that life can be slower, slower, more company.
So even though my two kids take up most of my personal time, I’m happy. When people around say, “A son and a daughter, how happy! “Yes, I am happy, and I have a wonderful wife who stands by me.
The most important thing in life is not your job. Even if you’re busy at work, don’t forget to slow down and make time for the people closest to you.
About cycling
Talk a little bit about cycling. At first I couldn’t stand waiting for a bus and ended up in a Merida Duke 600 in September. The one-way commute is more than 11 kilometers, and the time is basically kept at 40-45 minutes. The total mileage recorded by Keep is 1385 km, which is about 1500 km on the code watch.
In a car, you’re always confined to a small space, and because you’re so used to it, you don’t realize that the view out the window is the same as watching TV. You are just a passive spectator, the scenery can only be bored in a frame to fly by you.
On a motorcycle, the frame disappears. You’re connected to nature. You’re in the scene, you’re not in the audience, you’re in the scene. There’s a solid concrete road hurtling across your feet, just like the ground you walk on. It is lying there, although it is blurred by the speed of the car, but you can stop at any time, feel its presence in time, let that feeling of steadfastness deeply impressed in your mind.
This quote comes from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. If you’ve ever cycled a long distance, you’ll be familiar with this quote. The feeling can be addictive.
For programmers of this kind of industry, it is also a physical exercise. If you can, you can try commuting by bike.
Traditional art
Since it is the year-end summary, of course, traditional art can not set up a flag. Here I don’t put last year’s flag out to see, there are really a lot of out of a cavity of blood at that time (impulse).
Although Flag was not nearly finished, it still managed to pass the year of 2020 smoothly. During the year, the Nuggets level rose to LV4 and the total number of articles read reached 27w. I also maintain a small paid column for Android interview progression guide, which has nine articles and currently has over 80 subscribers. Maintaining and updating columns will also be a big part of 2021.
I won’t flag 2021 here this year.
No flag, of course, doesn’t mean I won’t do anything. Instead, I might do something I’ve never done before. You can look forward to it.
Write in the last
In 2020, we all had an unpretentious year.
2021, I hope everyone can harvest their own heart of that share of persistence.
In the path of persistence, don’t forget to “slow down” from time to time.
Here is bingxin said, the New Year, we come together!
