Hello, everyone!

Another year has passed, happy New Year!

Extremely magical 2020 is finally over, fortunately we are still alive, thanks to those rebels, thank you!

It’s time to sum up a year of growth, and my key word for 2020 is: The 3-year itch to grow less than expected

Before reading this article, you’d better read mine: My 2019 – When Diligent, but inconstant, sit back and watch me get slapped in the face 😅.

And my 2019 year-end summary – true fragrance, feel, this year is not the same myself.

Review the goals for 2020

  • Insight into Vue stack principles and internal implementation – not complete

    This is not finished, one is because Vue3.0 will be released, so I did not continue to study, the other is because I did not have time.

  • Learn Vue3, TypeScript, Node stack – Done

    Vue3 is a must-have technology for the front end of 2021, and I wrote this article to get a quick start getting familiar with the core new features of Vue3. These 10 examples are enough. I also learned about TypeScript and Node, because I need to use them in my work, but I didn’t write the article.

  • English vocabulary reaches 7000+ – 30%

    This is ashamed, at the beginning of the year, there is an English reading of “Coco” and “Frozen” two classics, “Coco” read about 60%, the other one did not start, one is not finished 😢, forced to push the pot to work overtime 😬

  • Keep moving. Exercise regularly. – Done

    This should be something that I have been practicing and enjoying. I have been running and exercising, and this year I have added swimming, haha.

  • Adhere to writing, good operation of the public account – complete 50%

    I only wrote 12 original technical articles this year. Shame. I also wrote 14 articles recommending good front-end projects. Writing and operating compared to Buddha, readers did not grow substantially, alas.

  • Read more – complete 50%

    This year, I have finished several books, read more than a dozen books, not as many as in previous years.

  • Master photography – 20% complete

    This is not on the agenda, just read some tips posted by douyin’s photo blogger.

  • Do more persistent, delayed gratification and compound interest tasks – 60% done

    Study, read, write, open source, do influential things.

  • Be a man of work! – 60% complete

    Same as above, except open source works are not particularly good.

  • Get rich! Get rich! Get rich! – 0% complete

  • Wait for the country to send me a girlfriend! – 0% complete

So, all in all, last year’s targets were almost hit in the face 😥, but also hit the kind of pain 😰.

Magic 2020. Fuck you, huh.

Work and Technology

This year’s work is really busy, busy, busy!!

This year, I’m working on innovative projects, which are just starting out.

I was barely even staffed. I worked on front-end projects, Vue + TypeScript projects.

However, at the beginning of the year, a backend leader and an automation leader were transferred back to the original department, so I had to take over the automation work. Due to the epidemic situation, the work handover was still online and remote, which was very passive.

The automation project is to use the technology stack of Puppeteer + Node, so I went to learn Puppeteer. Node is learned a long time ago, plus JS, so it doesn’t take too much time to learn.

For automation project is based on page elements to capture the data, all of the elements changes as long as the website, can appear abnormal, often at the weekend to handle exceptions, always have some strange questions, also from time to time to do technical research over the weekend, and study some aspects of the technique can achieve a certain demand, so as to reduce the workload or implement a business needs.

After I got familiar with the automation project, I also had to do the automation project in addition to the front-end project. This situation lasted until the next consultation in December, and I often got off work at about 21 or 22 o ‘clock.

This year, I have led two interns and one full-time intern, so I have accumulated some experience in leading people.

During the period from April to September, when there is no customer service team, all the technical, product and marketing staff take turns to do customer service. They are on duty from Monday to Friday night until 22:00, and from Saturday and Sunday until 19:00. One is to get familiar with the products they make, and the other is that there is really not enough staff.

So I hired a customer service team in October and didn’t have time to write the article on weekends.

Fortunately, the project started and a new department was established in March. In September, the division was spun off as a company, self-financing, almost entirely separate from the original company.

Also count as a successful project, the process technologies or learned a lot of things, how to combine the agile development thoughts and the current team, the leader is how to do project management, how the team members are fighting capacity, project do what stage can be promoted, is how to train up seed users, How the project requirements are prioritized.

On the technology side, the biggest gain this year was the increase in breadth of technology, but not so much in depth.

This year, I’ve revisited TypeScript, learned Puppeteer automation or crawler technology, gotten proficient with Node.js, and tried out the new Vue3.

The most unfortunate is much again a gray hair 😲, besides that two gray hair, the remaining 3000 blue hair is like the beginning, black shine dense.

GitHub

I’ve been contributing to open source on GitHub in recent years. This year’s code contribution is much less, but I’ve made a little progress.

In November, the FrontEndGitHub Front-end Treasure project opened source at 575 Stars, which is GitHub’s most comprehensive and up-to-date repository of front-end resources. Including front-end learning, development resources, data structures and algorithms, development tools, job interviews and other 200 quality project recommendations.

In 2020, GitHub has reached 2.1K followers and 5.4K Stars, and ranks 195th in GitHub China.

If you want to see your own Ranking in China, you can look at this warehouse and see the results on the page or console:

Github.com/xibang/gith…

GitHub is ranked 1,065 globally.

The global rankings can be found on this website:

Gitstar-ranking.com/biaochenxuy…

Of course, this ranking does not represent the depth of technology, only a little influence.

Time can make ordinary things, become extraordinary.

3 years, more and more feel their own technology is still very weak, there is a very long way to go.

About learning

One of the biggest feelings this year is that you are too busy to fall behind.

A person’s enthusiasm for learning always has a time limit, and it will be exhausted after a period of time. If you are too busy at work, your enthusiasm for learning will decline and the time limit will be shortened. If you are too busy, you will want to have fun when you are free, and eventually you will not learn when you are free to study.

The most terrible is: in a company day and night work for several years, did not leave a little learning time for themselves. After a few years, I became more and more loyal to the company, but busy work also led to no time to update knowledge, so that I have fallen behind, and even lost the ability and courage to job-hopping.

Being too busy will leave you no time to learn and update your knowledge, especially in this era of rapid development.

It is easy to cause the following problems:

  • Lack of learning leads to no improvement in working ability, while the problems we face become increasingly complex.
  • There is no greater technological and business lead, only passive catch-up.

This, in turn, will keep you busy, leaving you less time to improve your technical skills, which can quickly become a vicious cycle and end up stuck in a well.

This year almost entered that state, no matter how busy also want to leave a little time for themselves, enrich themselves, update their knowledge base.

reading

The book that read this year is much less than last year, alas 😲

The most ashamed is the English reading, the beginning of the year of the newspaper in English reading “Coco” and “frozen” two classics, one is not completed 😢, forced to push the pot to work overtime 😰

Yesterday, all become me now, do not think, do not mourn, henceforth, how to harvest, how to plant.

The truth of the world is the Matthew effect, where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

The public,

This year, the vast majority of time to the company’s projects, gains will lose, loss is their own free time a lot less, so the influence did not increase how much and the public number of readers did not rise.

Overwork busy into a dog, so the public number of original writing and operation can only compare the Buddha, sometimes more weeks, sometimes more months, there is no original reprint some good articles.

If I leave work at 18:30 every day like I did in 2018, I will have a lot of free time to write articles and work on my own open source projects. I miss it very much.

Strive to write at least 24 original technical articles and at least 24 front-end quality project recommendations in 2021.

After two years of writing technical articles, the Nuggets finally reached Lv4. Later, I wrote 14 original articles recommending good projects and reached Lv5. Thanks to the Nuggets community and friends, we will continue to share some valuable content this year.

financial

Investment is the realization of knowledge.

My financial management type should be balanced financial management. Part of my money is used for regular financial management, and part of my money is used to buy low-to-medium risk products such as currency products and funds. I haven’t bought stocks, but just wait and see, and haven’t bought products with high risks and high returns.

This year, the income of financial management is still good, with the spare money in the hand to buy tens of thousands of funds, earned more than 10 thousand.

For the part of financial management, the overall income reached about 25%, it is still so-so, the income is basically the income brought by the sale of funds this year.

My fund is bought basically with the form that decide cast, decided to cast 10 funds, every fund decides to cast 2 hundred or so pieces every week, set intelligence to decide to cast.

In the middle of February this year, when the epidemic came, I saw the stock market and the fund fell so much that I quickly increased my position by about 10,000 yuan. Actually, I wanted to continue to increase my position at that time, but after all, it was the epidemic and I didn’t know how big the impact would be, so I still had to leave some spare money to deal with the worse epidemic and economic crisis in the future.

In August this year, the stock market and the fund rose more fierce, some fund income reached 70% – 80%, so I sold in batches, chose to fall bag for an, because as long as still declined bag, not your income.

Fund strategy is: low when buy, save cheap share, cast can amortize cost, wait until high when sell, earn intermediate income.

Buy funds and stocks by all means avoid chasing up and down, but I should be greedy when others fear, I fear when others are greedy.

Remind: do not understand things better not to touch, especially about money, or it is likely to become leek, to touch is to learn the relevant knowledge to touch again.

How do you determine your goals for financial freedom?

If you are setting financial goals for yourself, I recommend setting them in tiers (see the big advice here).

  • The first goal is to multiply your current annual expenses by 10 (using the 10% return rate as a reference).

Once that goal is reached, passive income can almost exceed your daily expenses. It’s not free yet, but your mindset is very different.

  • The second goal is to multiply your current annual income by 10 (with a 10% return rate as a reference). Once you reach that goal, your passive income can exceed your salary, and you’ll have plenty of leverage to fire your boss.

  • And then you have to increase the margin of safety layer by layer.

According to German statistics, when a person’s annual income exceeds 500,000 yuan, the contribution of income increase to life happiness tends to zero, which can be used as the ultimate goal for reference.

In my opinion, for ordinary people, without resources and background, the first bucket of gold is particularly important, especially the first one million, because it reflects your current cognition and earning ability, as well as the various aspects of training and improving ability in the process.

This year SAW a sentence let me feel deeply: any boy’s childhood dream is absolutely not to buy a suite!

Ordinary people, without resources and background, rely on the accumulation of knowledge, experience, skills, and some patience, is the only way out.

fitness

This year, as in previous years, from time to time will be a variety of sports.

  • Run on average 3 times/month, about 5km/time
  • Exercise once per week on average
  • Swimming (Every Thursday from July to September)
  • Average 1 ride/week

Still have badminton of, because move office place, lost, did not play again 😭

You’re working out less than you used to, and you’re still in shape.

My understanding of health can be seen in the article I wrote: programmers should not only have logic and code in front of them, but also have a healthy body and spirit.

It’s become a habit, or a hobby, and it’s great.

Still maintaining a healthy body shape, abdominal muscle, pectoral muscle are still in, just this year feeling belly than before a thick throw lost 😂.

Furthest run of the year:

And then the circle of friends:

This year’s run should be over 100 kilometers.

A new sport was introduced this year: swimming.

From breaststroke to self-swimming, although have not learned to self-swimming, but this summer is worth it.

The annual report of millet movement this year did not come out, otherwise you can bask in the annual movement report.

This year, I moved to the river bank, not in the original place, so the sports place has changed, I usually run in the river, the scenery has also changed.

I even ran into a little gray rabbit once

If the rainbow, meet above know

I turned down three girls again this year. I am really an excellent boy. Looking at their lonely back, I can only say sorry silently.

Such a good girl, so I refused, cheating with women’s feelings of the man!

So, 2020 has passed, and I still smell like a single dog.

This year, I asked for a day off to attend a classmate’s wedding. So far, I have attended two classmates’ weddings.

If this year is not please that day leave, I have become the company all year round attendance 😂.

Front-end eldest brother say rightness, last year I only ask for leave is to attend other people’s wedding, this year’s only ask for leave or attend other people’s wedding, when ask for leave is for oneself 😂

I… I am an emotionless tool man 😭

The person who wants to spend a lifetime with you in the future, in fact, in the same time with you, also suffers the same loneliness, that person must also cherish full expectation, holding a cavity solitary yong, through the vast sea of people, also want to meet with you, wish the beautiful world and you are linked…

Okay, I’m done with this chicken soup.

The Coase Law of girlfriends

The story goes like this:

Guy A was having dinner with an economist named Ronald the other day.

A was very upset. At the dinner table, A said to Ronald: I like A girl, she is excellent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and very good-looking, but she already has A boyfriend. What should I do?

Ronald says, you still don’t understand Coase’s law that well.

A says:??

Ronald said, “If you know coase’s law, you know that no matter who this girl is dating, she’s going to end up with the best match.”

A says:!!

Ronald says, “Why are you so excited, you know Coase’s law? Coase’s law is that whoever best matches the resource will end up with it.”

Economically, it can be summed up simply and crudely: it goes to those who use it best, and some resources will depreciate in value while others will rise in value.

Yeah, what’s yours is yours, and you can’t force it if it’s not yours.

Love this thing, starts from the appearance level, fall into talent, loyal to the character, crazy in the body, crazy in the voice, finally discount in the material, defeated by the reality, finally return to dust.

tourism

I went to Guangzhou Polar Ocean World this year

The group went to Qingyuan rafting and home party, went karting and had fun

Still too indoorsy. Go out, go out, go out more in 2021.

Three year itch

This year has been the third year of working ah, in July, when the three-year period arrived, I really feel very confused, very confused, mentality is a little not adapt to.

The reason why I feel a little uncomfortable is that my growth in the past three years is not as good as expected, which is totally different from the feeling I had when I worked for one or two years. I am really very anxious and feeling that I have become an old hand in the mixed society since I graduated three years ago.

Yes, who’s youth is not confused, since confused has no direction to focus on the current things.

It may take getting through the confusion, doing something outside of your comfort zone, and doing something more difficult.

Future experience, has a strong idea is to do a freelancer, but is the programmer’s freelancers, found himself the current technology stack, can do a lot of things, such as website, management background, automation or crawler, back-end with the database and the browser plug-in, will the writing and operation of the public.

This year, there have been two open source projects to achieve, one is about GitHub, the other is about B station, but there is no time, busy as a dog.

At the end of this year, I want to become a freelancer and start some interesting and profitable projects. I want to read more books and write articles to share my insights and record my gains and growth.

One day, if my side business can make more money than my main job, I should really go freelance.

conclusion

Overall, the growth and harvest of 2020 are not as good as expected, which leads to a sigh: life is hard!

Someone as lost as I am

People like me looking for

A guy like me who doesn’t do anything

How many other people have you met

A man like me who refuses to be ordinary

How many people in the world

A song titled “People Like Me” by MAO is the most true portrayal of me in 2020.

Into the order 2021

It doesn’t matter if it’s black or not, it’s about that attitude, huh

The last

Happy New Year to you all.

Finally, a song of Jj Lin’s Advanced is for you.

The front was covered with dark clouds

The power of rebirth comes from the true self

Defeat a respectable opponent

Keeping faith is all I have

Reach the vastness of the heart

I hope that the people who listened to this song and see this article can progress, no longer lost, the heart in the step to find the direction.

May you taste the fireworks, still believe that the world is worth it.

The universe is uncertain, you and I are dark horse!

I have faith in the future. I believe I can.

The time is right and the possibilities are endless!

2021 we advance together!!
