March 3 update original text: originally blunt essay, feel should write more technical summary, so at that time in the hair deleted a lot of non-technical components. Now I want to add back, do not go to cater to what essay, this is the complete article, this is what I want to express.
On this day last year, I was ready to quit and began to prepare my resume and interview. In my impression, the process is very difficult, because after graduation is to participate in the school recruitment as a designer, holding the work with confidence to resume. As a programmer, I need solid basic technical knowledge. At the beginning, I thought that I could talk freely with project experience, but I suffered a big loss. I gave all the knowledge I learned in school to the teacher, and I didn’t know what to ask. Later, I settled down to study from the beginning, interviewed for several times and also knew the routine. Finally, FORTUNATELY, I got some offers before the year, and I had to write several interviews. The article is below, and more will not be said.

When I came back after the Chinese New Year, I resigned, delayed for more than half a month, packed up my baggage and left, and joined a new company without a gap.
The working atmosphere of the new company is good, the leader is energetic, and the colleagues are all young people of the same age. We can discuss new technology and play ball games, watch movies and play board games together. During that time, it was very hard and the workload was very heavy. Overtime was the norm. Maybe I don’t have to date, I don’t have a long-term relationship, I don’t have a burden, so I feel fulfilled. Aside from the fact that I don’t have time to blog.
I am enthusiastic about my work, recognized by my leadership, and get along well with my colleagues. I am learning and growing while working. At that time, the daily rhythm was very steady, and a month’s life could be summed up in one sentence. Despite the machinery, I like the company on the whole and I can stay for at least one or two years without any accidents.
But life doesn’t have accidents.
After less than five months in the new company, I left again and came to Beijing at the end of July.
When I left, I said to my friends who did not understand: I did not make a mistake in the choice, but I did not have any regrets when I left. It’s just a choice.
I’d like to add a few more words here. Some people might classify me as a “young person who always changes jobs and tries to reach high goals”, but I know that every decision has a solid reason behind it. I know exactly what I don’t want in my life.

Then I should say the life after Beijing, but I am stuck here for a long time. Because everything that’s happened is so different from my previous life, and there’s so much information that I don’t know how to articulate it. I have to do the best I can.
I thought that when I graduated from the ivory tower and entered the world, everyone would be dragged into reality. After more than two years of graduation and internship, I have long been used to people around me talking about houses, cars, children, what I do and how much money you make each month. I am bored and want to get out of it. Immediately, a lot of alarm sirens from reality ring in your ears crazily: Think what, don’t dream. Everybody’s telling you, this is life, this is what everybody goes through. The cost of avoiding now will still be repaid by your future self. I slowly accepted the fact, suppressed my deep revulsion and told myself, you have to get used to it, you have to recognize the reality. Until I came to Jizhi.
soSet wisdomWhat is it?
After I came into contact with Jizhi, I was surprised to find that there is such a place in the world where you can freely talk about ideals, science and life. There is such a group of people in the world who are directly contemptuous of the life just for buying a house and a car. They have a strong passion for life with clear interests and directions. They regard the optimization of human society as their own duty and take changing the world as their life goal.
All of this seemed incredible to me six months ago. When I first came to Jizhi, my colleagues organized a night reading party. In addition, there was a communication meeting every afternoon, where we would share and discuss a certain topic. Fields include physics, complex systems, biology, mathematics, philosophy, social sciences, computers, and so on. Every day we are exposed to a great deal of new, unknown information. I feel like I’ve stepped back in time, into an isolated utopia. I don’t have to think about all the things I used to think about, KPIs, salary, savings, marriage, all of which are cut off from the world (they still exist, of course, but they’re not as important to me anymore). The reason is that the kind of boss is the kind of company.

Professor Zhang Jiang was the founder of the Jizhi Club and later founded a business company called Jizhi Xueyuan. The purpose of starting a business company is to make knowledge products, to make complexity science accessible to more people. He is also a professor at Beijing Normal University.
Teacher Zhang himself is a very “idealized” person. First and foremost, he is an idealist, devoted to research, committed to the dissemination of complexity science, and expects to make a greater contribution to this field. Of course he was already an authority on the subject.
I’ve said the term “complexity science” several times, and I’m sure most people are just as appalled by it as THEY were when I first heard it. So what exactly is complexity science?
To put it simply, this is a very interdisciplinary discipline, focusing on “systems”. What is a “system”? It’s when you take something individually and it’s one thing, but when you put it together, it’s something completely different. There are many things that can be called “systems”, and the human brain is a very typical “system”. It is not surprising that a single neuron is a cell, but hundreds of millions of neurons combine together through mysterious links to form consciousness. There are ant colonies and bees and transportation systems, all of which are the subject of complex science. Anyway, the annual summary is going to be a popular science article.
I just said that Mr. Zhang is an “idealized” person. In addition to being a scientist dedicated to scientific research, he has a strong appeal and charisma. He made full use of his influence and gathered outstanding scientists from various disciplines. Under his leadership, the Gathering Wisdom Club was founded. Here, you can discuss anything under the sky, speak freely and share your latest discoveries regardless of subject or nationality. This is a “research institute without walls.”
So the company’s employees and the scientists at the Club have inherited his idealism.
Sorry, the annual review has turned into a company presentation.

Anyway, when I first came here, I felt that I was absorbing a lot of nutrition every day and trying to keep up with everyone’s thinking. The company has many, many books, and every day is like soaking in a nutrient solution of knowledge. At the same time, the freedom of a small company also allows me to exert enough subjective initiative to realize some fantastic ideas and do some interesting things. It was less like working for someone and more like running your own product (which it was, and later product design).
It has been almost half a year since I joined the company. I feel that time passes very quickly. I have done a lot of things when I think about it. Well, we’re finally going to start talking.
- Launched the company’s main mobile terminal knowledge product, Jizhi AI Academy, and carried out several major iterations.
- Revised multiple internal use of background systems.
- Has brought some Internet industry norms for the company.
- I started to revise the PC version, and we did a wave of things together, and applied for the software copyright (the product will be released around the Chinese New Year, we are looking forward to it, now we are keeping it secret).
My own primary front-end stack is VUE. In the process of working in a new company, there is no rigid process in the start-up company, and no one prescribes what you should and shouldn’t do, which gives you freedom, but also leads to a lot of things need to think by yourself. This also enables me to design functions from the perspective of users and products. In addition to front-end development, I was deeply involved in product design, technical design, testing and even promotion after the release of mobile version, which lasted for two months. When she finally went online, she smiled like an old mother. Of course I will be responsible for this child, let “him” continue to grow.
And the PC end of the major revision is already experienced 4 months of time, demand design and overturn, design and overturn, the cycle does not know how many cycles. In terms of technology, it has solved numerous problems, both large and small (after the launch of the product to push a series of technical articles, this flag was first set). The whole team paid a lot of energy for this product, it can be said that they fought their way out of various difficulties. I’m looking forward to it, and it’s coming soon.
By the way, don’t look at the PC now, it’s slow and ugly. Well, don’t look at it. And don’t click on any of the free lessons and videos that will make you wonder if you’ve gone back in time to the site a few years ago.
What did I get out of these projects?
In addition to the hard strength of technical improvement brought by the development process, there are also soft strengths such as project management ability, team management ability, product thinking, communication and collaboration ability. I believe that these abilities will help our team work more efficiently and produce better quality products in future projects.
In addition. This year, I also entered the pit of artificial intelligence. In my spare time, I am a primary learner of machine-learning. I started to play the machine learning demo this year, and I am quite interested in the part of natural language processing. In the New Year, I will try to do more powerful and interesting things, preferably to produce something interesting for the company.
As for myself, it seems that my personality has become more aggressive, because there is no clear system of superiors and subordinates, and I don’t know whether I am free to hate people, or in this environment, I am free to speak frankly regardless of what others think. Well, it occurred to me that I beat up my own brother, so I thought the former was more likely. There are pros and cons to this, but no matter what, you’re definitely happier because you’re closer to what you want in life.
Of course, the development of history is tortuous and upward, just like 2018, despite many difficulties, we believe that this is only a small twist in the long history, and the trend of social development is undoubtedly still on the upward trend. I also believe that while startups have their inevitable problems, this theory is at the forefront of most business companies. With such a good and passionate leader and a group of equally passionate people, what can’t be done?

Life is a stack of choices, and who you are determines what choices you make.
How to choose, this actually involves a profound question about life: what is the purpose of people living: to buy a house, get married and have children? Or to realize their own life value?
What is the definition of life value? Is it contributing to society? Or are you desperate to pursue your ideals?
Can you tell whether what you are upholding is an ideal or a pointless bigotry?
And what makes sense in this world?
Write here the feeling has been out of the annual summary of this category, people always like to stage to their own a fresh start. But the concept of the year itself was invented by man.
Thank you for watching me rattle on to this point
