Write 16 years of summary “my 2016 summary: know yourself” as if yesterday, time is like a wild donkey without REINS, all of a sudden ran to write 17 years of summary.
The situation in 2017
Xun Yue said in The Book Of History:
Fu Li strategy decisive skills, it should have three, one is shape, two is momentum, three is affection.
Shape, the number of its gains and losses in general. A situation is a temporary opportunity to advance and retreat. Sentient beings say whether their minds can be true.
Therefore, the same policy, things, etc., and the three techniques are different.
What does that mean?
There are three main factors that determine the success of a program:
- The main trend of development
- Potential: a temporary choice
- Affection: whether the state of mind is firm enough
The trend I’m following in 2017: Pay for content
In 2017, people discussed many topics: big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, bitcoin, buying a house, new retail, content payment, the second half of the Internet, the industrial Internet, the real economy…
Some of these topics were too advanced for me, others were too confusing to tell if it was a bubble or not, and when I changed jobs, I chose something related to paying for content.
The idea that the information explosion has made the signal-to-noise ratio so high that you have to pay for filtered content is gaining ground.
Personally, I used to choose pirated software and books, but now I prefer to spend more money to use good software and works. And over the course of blogging for a long time, I’ve come to realize that there’s a lot of room for imagination in the paid content market.
- From the perspective of consumers, I mainly bought three courses in 2017: Letter from Silicon Valley, Historical Mirror and Romance of The Three Kingdoms of Pingshu, which accompanied me through countless commutes and trips
- From the perspective of producers, I spent time and energy on an interview related course in 2017, and provided resume consulting services for about 20 netizens. In this process, I deepened my understanding of the industry status quo and career planning
Some friends may say that after buying a lot of courses, they have nothing to gain, so they will not buy these things in the future, and they should read books honestly.
And to that I say, maybe you’re starting from the wrong place.
It is true that learning can only be absorbed after thinking. You can’t buy knowledge by paying for it, but you can buy insight. Buy less utilitarian things (such as a salary increase of 5W in three years), and buy more things that broaden your vision and increase your sentiment. Useless things are for great use, and in the long run, they will benefit you infinitely.
The choices I made in 2017
People always say, “One dream is heaven, another dream is hell.” I have made countless choices to get to where I am now. Some are god’s arrangement, and some are the result of my own long-term preparation.
In 2017, I mainly made these choices:
- Take the initiative to leave
- Choosing a New Job
- Emotional problem
Take the initiative to leave
As the saying goes, women are afraid to marry the wrong man and men are afraid to get into the wrong industry. As programmers, we devote a lot of time to our jobs every day. If the job doesn’t give you a reasonable opportunity for growth, think again.
I wanted to change my job twice this year. The first time was in March when I was arranged to work as a background. In fact, it was not bad to work as a background, but WHAT I thought was that the future of the company was uncertain.
As it turned out, I was right. The previous company did lay off its r&d department at the end of the year.
In March, I went out for an interview and found some problems in my ability. I obediently replenished my knowledge and succeeded in job-hopping in September.
In fact, it was difficult to change jobs before September, because we got the news of layoffs, and the compensation for layoffs is still attractive to us who have been working for a long time. After waiting for a week or so, I found that my heart could not stand the tedious work, so I put forward to leave, forcing myself to make preparation to leave.
Now think about it, I chose to change my job twice. The first time was to avoid risk and reduce the impact of changing my job on my career as much as possible under the uncertain situation of the company. Although I failed this time, the accumulated experience is the foundation for the success of changing my job later. The second time was in order not to waste my youth. One and a half months after MY resignation, my previous company actually laid off employees. I felt a little sad for missing the compensation, but I was more happy to take over the new job.
Choosing a New Job
Every choice has an opportunity cost, especially choosing a job.
According to my current stage, I plan to work in this job for more than two years, which is enough time to become a technical expert and have a deep understanding of an industry. Therefore, WHEN CHANGING jobs, I pay more attention to the technical atmosphere, technical accumulation, industry and business department of the company.
After the successful interview, I got some offers, some with good welfare and some with good technical atmosphere. Finally, I chose Ximalaya which focuses on content.
After working in Ximalaya for a few months, I am very grateful for my original choice. There are not only many skilled talents here, but also very nice people. Every day at work, I can browse courses in the APP and browse various live broadcast rooms, which makes me feel very happy.
Emotional problem
My thoughts on relationships have been written here before and will not be repeated here.
A change of heart in 2017
Cheng Zi said, “The superior man is rational, so he is always comfortable; Little people work for things, so much sorrow.” (See Notes on the Analects of Confucius)
The gentleman demands himself according to the law of heaven and earth, so he is comfortable and peaceful. The SIMS were enslaved by the external things, seeking fame and profit, often over every ounce, worry about personal gains and losses, in order to meet their own desires.
I am often influenced by external material things. I am either too arrogant or envious. The fundamental reason is that I pay too much attention to the external world instead of putting energy into improving myself.
This year, I suffered a lot of losses because of these faults. After introspection, I will write some summaries, such as this article “Summary of work: Mistakes MADE in the past month”.
Mental unrest is often due to money, this year around some friends bought a house, off the currency market, for a high-paying job, at the beginning of the news I always could not help but envy envy, kept thinking whether they also want to do so, the in the mind is very impetuous.
After many times, I decided to write down my current situation with a piece of paper, objectively analyze my input, cost of income and probability of doing these things, and consult some predecessors. Finally, I decided to play it safe and focus on improving myself first in the stage of rapid growth, and then try various opportunities.
Start paying attention to your health
Some time ago, the circle of friends circulated an article about the beginning of post-90s health care, I think it can reflect a problem: post-90s generally feel that they can fight can play, the reality severely slapped them in the face.
In our hearts, we feel that we are still “the flowers of our country,” “the eight or nine o ‘clock sun in the morning,” only to find out when we step on the scale. Actually has been so fat, after the physical examination just discovered, actually has so many problems; When you calculate your age, it turns out you’re almost 30.
Getting old too fast.
Before always feel “I wish you good health” is a boring blessing, until their own body some uncomfortable, just feel the sincerity of this sentence.
This year I obviously feel that my body is not as good as before, vision regression, cervical spine pain, often backache, long-term stay up late, the damage caused by the desk began to bite.
At the request and encouragement of small meat, began to pay attention to health.
Eye protection
This year I bought the most valuable lamp OF my life: The Benq WiT ScreenBar Smart hanging lamp.
1. Light up the work area in front of you
I often use the computer after I go home at night. Before, I used an ordinary lamp with a long arm, which was far away from the computer, so I could only illuminate the area near the mouse, and the rest of the area was still dark. Now with the WiT ScreenBar, the light just covers the entire working area.
2, directly hanging on the top of the screen for use, good lighting Angle, saving desktop space.
The desk in the home is not very big, the word that should put desk lamp is about to put a bit far for not getting in the way, this screen hangs a lamp to be able to be hanged directly on the screen use, do not occupy desktop space completely, and the light is illuminated from the front come over. The hand will not block the light when operating the mouse and typing.
3. Reduce the contrast when working overtime at night
The room is darker when I work overtime at night. In this environment, where the screen is bright and the desktop is dark, it can be very tiring for the eyes to switch back and forth between these contrasts, so ScreenBar can fill in the gap.
4. Automatic dimming mode
Generally, the mode I often use is the mode of automatic dimming. After this mode is turned on, it will adjust its own brightness in real time according to the brightness of the surrounding environment, keeping it in a scientific range. This mode is convenient, comfortable to use, and the light is mild, and the brightness is suitable.
5, the light source is soft and stable, not dazzling
The common desk lamp that is used before, the light is particularly white, and compare dazzling. In contrast, ScreenBar’s light source is very stable and soft.
Compared with ordinary desk lamps, ScreenBar can better adjust the color temperature and brightness to its own satisfaction.
Massage exercise
One consequence of sitting at your desk for a long time is stiffness and soreness in your cervical, back and lumbar vertebrae.
After working overtime a while ago, I felt pain all over my body every day after work. I tried a blind massage at The suggestion of Rou Rou. During the process, the pain was so painful that my body almost fell apart.
Back to develop the habit of regular massage.
In addition to passive exercise, awareness of active exercise is also increased. After sitting at work for more than an hour, we have to stand up and twist our waist and neck. Later, we found that many colleagues do so. It seems that this is a common problem.
A running account of 2017
Now that 2017 is over, here’s what I did in retrospect:

He is willing to spend extra time and energy to dig and solve technical problems, which has great potential. However, at the present stage, my understanding of the technology is not deep enough, and I lack the overall control of the project, and it is difficult to effectively transform the capacity in work. I hope ZSX will have the opportunity to take charge of the project independently and accumulate experience in the New Year

For example, RXJava, Swift and RN. It took me a while to realize this serious problem, so I spent two years learning these new technologies and ideas. Especially in the last year I have compiled a lot of code examples. I put some on my Github.

conclusion
At the end of 2017, I still have no house, no car and no money, but compared with last year, my environment and mood have greatly changed.
Turned over last year’s summary and this year’s some records, feeling quite a lot.
Many of the things I made last year, such as going on a trip, carefully reading a third of the Bible, and completing a technical essay, have not been fulfilled. Fortunately, the small target of the number of fans of the official account was achieved, but also changed his job.
It’s my year, and I honestly shouldn’t have believed it, but after a bad start to the year at work, a frustrating job interview, and an argument with my girlfriend, I’m starting to believe it.
When I read the story about Xiang Yu, he said, “It’s not my fault. It’s god’s will.”
Isn’t it similar to me? Always complaining and not thinking about what’s wrong with you.
I started to think about what causes these problems, and once I started to think about why, I was close to the truth. This year I had the following questions:
- Technical level is not enough, virtual machine, Android framework is not clear
- Mentality impetuous, ability and desire do not match
- Escape psychology, always don’t want to take the initiative to face problems
Hopefully 2018 will solve these problems.
I was twenty-one that day, in the prime of my life. I have so many hopes. I want to love, eat, but also in a moment into the sky of the half-dark clouds. Later I learned that life is a slow process of being hammered. As one gets older, one’s hopes fade away and one becomes like a battered cow. But I didn’t foresee that on my 21st birthday. I felt that I could go on forever, that nothing could hit me. — Wang Xiaobo, The Golden Age
