Unconsciously, 2021 has entered the end of the year. On September 12, 2021, I am writing this article at this time mainly because OF my defense of becoming a full-time employee. So, think about writing something from your heart. After graduation, I worked in my “Enlightenment” company until the end of 2020. At the beginning of 2021, I had the honor to join Youdao, where I have been for half a year.
This article is probably a hydrology, and my writing is very poor, if there are friends who are reading do not mind. Why did the title mention Guangzhou? It is because I love this city, although it is hot and cold to me and never even notices my existence. Guangzhou is a city I have been comfortable in and it has given me so many wonderful and unforgettable memories that I am willing to try my best to keep them.
Since he came to Guangzhou from his hometown to go to college with great expectation — at that time I was the most beautiful son in the village, at that time my closest grandmother would keep nagging me; To spend four years languishing in college, the only thing worth being proud of is finding the other half of your life; When I graduated, I stumbled into the front end of the industry by accident. I was preparing to graduate with a major that had nothing to do with IT and was not interested in it at all, while learning the front end knowledge. Finally graduated to work in Guangzhou, has been studying + working for more than 6 years.
Tell me about the companies you’ve worked for
I feel very good about the two companies I have worked for so far. I have not encountered the situation of leadership squeeze, I have not encountered the phenomenon of workplace PUA. Maybe it is the lack of social beatings, or vice versa, as Hulan said, “WHEN I go to work, I beg for favors in the workplace, and when the boss meets me, I am robbing.”
First of all, my first company is a medium-sized company in Guangzhou Haizhu. When FRONT-END development was at its peak, there were 3 people in the company. My team leader was only two years older than me, so we had a lot of topics to talk about. At that time, I learned Vue family barrel before joining the company, and the actual combat development was almost zero, but the company did more react projects. Fortunately, the boss is willing to allow a week of self-study. It’s funny to think that they were working overtime there, opening station B in silence, tapping and watching their collection of learning videos.
A week later, I received the first simple development task and successfully completed it. I was so happy that I felt a sense of accomplishment. After a while, a small version came out and was ready to launch late in the evening. Since I have not encountered this online thing, always think it is a special sacred thing, to be precise, it is a very ready, ready to start. So I told my colleagues, “Oh, I’m so excited to be online. The rest of my colleagues looked at me in bewilderment — I’m used to being online. Fortunately, the group leader could understand my mood, broke the embarrassment and said, just out of work, everything feels fresh and normal. In retrospect, going online was commonplace, but it required maintaining the same awe-inspiring, ever-vigilant attitude.
In the days that followed, work was done steadily. Since I was still a student at that time, when the development task was finished, I turned on the video to study, even though my colleagues were working next to me. At one point, the headphones were unplugged into the computer, and the video was played out to everyone in the office, including the boss, who didn’t say anything, of course. Two months later, when I was about to become a full-time employee, my boss came to me and told me my problems, but I was still not active enough to ask questions and not good at expressing opinions. Temporary approval of the positive, delayed a month. When I heard these words, I felt sad for a long time and kept doubting myself. I am a little introverted and slow to warm up. In fact, I have long realized that these shortcomings will be detrimental to the workplace, and the important problem is that some of my students have not changed their thinking.
I had the honor to meet my group leader, who encouraged me after knowing my conversation with the boss. Later, when there was a need, they would take the initiative to take me to listen to them, and they were willing to help me solve problems. Meanwhile, they became more active. To this day, I am very grateful to him. Maybe the boss found that I was willing to change, after less than half a month, agreed to become a regular. So, I was happy again for a long time. Later, the team leader led me to be familiar with other more projects, such as React+Dva+Antd for background management, Vue family barrel for foreground project, small program +Redux and so on. Of course, these are common technology stacks today. Read a lot of articles, understand a lot of big guys, more and more feel that they are too vegetables. If the front circle is compared to a school classroom, then they are not bad at learning, but not very good at that kind of people. In class, there is no speech, nor enough ability to help classmates solve problems, no outstanding students take high notes. The textbook works its way through the chapters, occasionally exploring the material ahead of time, but more often falling back on the current chapter (the metaphor is not particularly appropriate). I do not know whether many people are like me, ability is average, salary is average, appearance level is average, life is average. Anyway, keep learning and keep improving. That’s the only way to motivate yourself.
For the next year and a half, colleagues were on and off. The group leader suggested many times to try outside to understand the current situation of the front end and understand the gap between themselves and others. At the end of 2020, due to various reasons, I finally made up my mind to quit and started the interview. At that time, it was just after the New Year’s day, but actually it was not far from the New Year. Because I want to have been in Guangzhou development, so looking for an interview in Guangzhou. In addition to shenzhen fu way, because can not push off the headhunter, so the face, also good interview experience, is the interview test thinking questions some unique, the last three failed. After the interview with Tencent and some other companies, I began to panic, because guangzhou’s Internet companies are very limited, leaving few opportunities for myself, I must calm down to check shortcomings, algorithm has always been a weakness, I must sort out my knowledge. Finally, I was lucky to get the offer from Youdao and BIGO before the beginning of the year. Due to my limited ability, I also missed the opportunity of other good enterprises. Anyway, it’s time to go home and have a good year.
It is my great honor to come to Youdao, and I am very happy to get along with lovely colleagues. Here to meet a lot of masters, can learn a lot of new knowledge, more aware of their own dishes.
There is a complete product development process here, there is a complete deployment online process. Rather than simply “requirements, development, test” and then modify the code in the acceptance population’s self-doubt “this version is not good, that version is not good”.
There are many excellent resources, whether it’s internal learning chicken, or KM articles, that allow you to learn experiences anytime, anywhere. At the same time do not need to turn over the wall, you can white whoring company’s VPN to see YouTube, excellent community…
Because there is no “full” workload, there is more free time to study (play video games) and relax (stay at home) outside of work. More know the meaning of life, the meaning of life is to struggle, struggle for ideals, struggle for freedom, and struggle for not working (suddenly blood boiling up).
Of course, like many companies, there will be code specifications, interface specifications, and so on. Anyway, all the work is for the better.
Summary of the first Half of 2021
Fish a lot, but you’ll get something in the end. From a technology stack perspective, you can develop with TypeScript in real life. Previously, you were more hands-on, but you can actually get more out of working on a real project. Learning how to do server-side rendering with next.js is another framework to learn in layman’s terms. Learning to use automated deployment has many other benefits besides being slow. On the work side, there’s nothing better than being able to work with a group of cute, funny bosses and a great team atmosphere.
On the other hand, personal growth is not comprehensive enough for code farmers in this period of time. This is probably due to his intermittent lapses in laziness and incompetence. Because compared with other outstanding front-end students, their inferior too much. Either way, just be yourself, be more disciplined, and move on.
Next planning
Go to guangzhou library every weekend, blame oneself at home just want ge You to lie down. It would be nice to go out and take the subway, walk, and then come back and buy food and cook. The books I read this year include CSS Inside Out, CSS Selector World, SEO Search Engine Optimization: Basics, Cases and Practice, Understanding TypeScript inside, Git from Getting Started to Mastering, and so on.
Keep reading websites and learning articles every day. Learn about good source projects and learn about other people’s coding skills and ideas. At work, take on more project tasks, dare to challenge yourself, do not be afraid of difficulties, do not fear, and express more positive views and ideas.
In addition, I remember the line in “I’m FINE In A Foreign Land”, “Beijing is a very inclusive city, if you are talented, you can become famous; Even if you are ordinary, you can make a small fortune by working hard. I want to say, guangzhou is the same. In the next few years, I hope to work hard with my other half to have our small home in Guangzhou.
conclusion
Sometimes I feel very good, sometimes I feel like a dog. This is my daily internal fluctuation. In the sea of stars, one man is too small. Even on the front end, it’s like dust. That’s why I have a lot of respect for guys like Utah and Dan, and I really appreciate the way they’re opening up the front end. If you can’t be as good as them, you have to follow the script of the giants.
Finally, keep improving and everything will be better. I also wish you a smooth work and a happy life!
