Start to shoot the breeze

Perhaps, reading this headline, you know I already own a MacBook Pro. No, I wasn’t clickbait. I did take the hard way and make the painful decision to buy a Mac that far exceeded my income, and I’m still wondering if it was worth it. (Truth warning)

That day, when I got the express from SF Express after work, I posted a dynamic at B station and asked everyone to guess what it was (someone said it was a barbecue grill??). That night (I left work after 8pm) I stayed up and installed the basic environment of my MacBookPro, such as Vs Code, IDEA, docker, etc., including creating personal users and completing the initialization of the computer. By the end of the next morning, the simple setup was done, probably because it was the first time I used a MAC, so I stayed up that day, although I still had to go to work the next day. Kangkang I set the effect..

As you have seen, I set the user name as B station, don’t ask why, I just want to secretly tell you, whenever you see this title in each major platform is basically me (like Nuggets, douyin….). Well, if you know me, you’re like, “That’s it.” , that line, since want to pursue stimulation, that carry out to the end……

Yeah, I got two users, two administrators… This is called two-pronged

Buyers reason

As a one-year graduate, I used Windows to watch TV, study and develop for five years. Why did I suddenly switch to a Mac? In fact, from the essence of the operating system, There are many differences between The use of Windows and Mac. For those who are used to Windows, it may take some time to adapt to the use of Mac. Of course, I already had the idea of buying a Mac in The Apple Experience store in Hangzhou West Lake last September. The reason why I have delayed until now is largely because I am poor and even hesitate to do things by myself. But now to buy, I summed up the following four main reasons:

  • The old computer won’t cut it
  • Fund pursuit bag for Ann
  • Program development does
  • Change programming system usage habits

The old computer won’t cut it

For example, once a friend of mine asked me to help me look at the code of JavaWeb (I don’t know much about Java development, actually). Simply configure maven environment, directly stuck…….. (Since I was doing a distributed experiment, I had a lot of virtual machine clusters on my computer, so I didn’t configure Java, which was stupid)

GitHub wasn’t updated that day either. I remember there were a lot of changes to the native code, so it would be a pity to break even more…

When I get a new computer, I submit it almost every day. It could be code changes, it could be mind maps, it could be MD documents of my thoughts, whatever.

Fund pursuit bag for Ann

Speaking of the fund, it is really thanks to the help of the fund that I can temporarily change my MacBookPro. As we all know, the price of Apple products is not fat, and it will take me at least 3 months to be able to buy them only with my monthly salary of several thousand yuan, but I am reluctant to do so. At that time, I felt that it was not worth the salary of those months to change a hardware from the bottom of my heart, but now my experience tells me that it really smells good, really smells good

Let’s talk about funds. Due to the wuhan epidemic, I was trapped at home for about three months. I clearly remember that I left home on April 18, when wuhan was unsealed on April 8. During the period from the beginning of the year to the end of April, the US stock market experienced three circuit breakers, all of which were of historical level. However, as a graduate of just over a year, I allocated the huge US stock capital market to go through that winter. At that time, I basically lost the kind of pants to wear. In the second half of 2019, I didn’t have much money in my hand. If I had, I think I would have been able to get the bottom of the book, even if I had copied it on the top of the mountain

Really to now I am very frightened, really is more loss more, one hundred and two hundred… Accompany capitalists to experience ups and downs… At that time loss of really a lot of a lot of.. Once LET me think is not to go to have a good look at a few books, analysis of the fund market, can not only see the so-called big V share ~

Later, I left home, as Wuhan slowly unsealed, the national epidemic has improved, and even by June, many places basically restored their original appearance, but when traveling, a mask on my face… So I lost so much before, but now I can sit and write (water) articles, largely depends on the soha bottom taking from late April to early June, is this really the bottom taking, I don’t know so far…

I clearly remember the increase on June 1, because I was preparing to go home on the high-speed train that day. After seeing the increase, I thought I was almost ready, so I sold it one by one, because it was sold on the high-speed train at that time, and the network was not good, so I remembered it deeply

I also remember that tianhong Internet suddenly pulled me from -full to +, and I was very happy. I had always been a strategic conservative, but I was really satisfied at that moment, because from the end of April to the beginning of June, the capital market picked up and some of my own operations, a lot of money lost at the beginning of the year had come back. So I think bitterly after the consideration, most of them are thrown, later time also proved that all the way to throw is correct; On June 1, I went back to my hometown and naturally had dinner with my high school friends, stopped by her house and watched them play mah-jongg (HHHHH, I don’t know this stuff)

After coming back, I also made a circle of friends, one is that I haven’t seen for many years, some feeling, the other is that I have graduated, they are still in the choice of further education, study for graduate students, and are above 211 graduate students, as the Internet apprentice, vegetable chicken attributes of me, some shame… digress

Actually also at that time, I looked at the income of oneself fund, two pay treasure on synthesis rise (if you must ask me why can have two pay treasure, I will let you ask piggy why can have two micro letter…. HHH), probably a little bit, so I had the idea of buying a MacBookPro at that time, but only because of the timing of the 14-inch notebook (originally 14.4-inch notebook, I thought the 13-inch notebook would be smaller, but later I used it and realized I made a subjective mistake…)

Later later, MacBook network and so on the party lost, the new update of 2020, only 13 inches of….

So, looking at their own hands of the fund’s earnings, weighing my own a few thousand a month of wages, I am more and more enchanted


I simply summarize the following is: the fund may have a little income, I hope to fall into the pocket for safety, spent and then go to the fund market. More determined to change the computer!

Program development does

In fact, I remember the original computer, writing programs really can not meet my needs, and NOW I write less Java, most of the time is some JS or docker and so on, if running Java, it is estimated that the computer will be dirt. It’s also a great tool for code writers to focus on the more important things, especially since you don’t need to configure environment variables.

Isn’t it! So I think as a “programmer” who writes code, I think I need a handy MacBookPro, although I resist being called a programmer.. But the MacBookPro is a certainty (from the fund)

Change programming system usage habits

I have used The Windows operating system for 5 years, but I am still not familiar with the Mac system. However, now many employees in big factories, such as Mi, Toutiao, Jinfu and Baba, are equipped with macBooks for office use. Although they will have system choice before entering the job, many people still prefer macBooks, so ah, It is necessary to learn and use the MAC system as much as you can.

I remember when I was in June, I still felt that I could not use a MAC. Then, if I went to a big factory that day, it would be a pity if I could not use MAC resources, so I considered trying to change the habit of using a programming system, to the big factory to rely on the flag, pretending that the big factory would want me…. If there are big factory bosses here to see the examination, consider me

Although I am still only a few k salary, but dreams still have to have… giao

Buying process

When it comes to buying experience, is really sorry tale, for his apple series products is not very familiar with, and apple’s official website to access domestic effect is not very good, a lot of time on the official website to see, will be stop website experience, especially after the determine to buy the new MacBook Pro, the color of the notebook also struggled for a long time, As far as I am concerned, I prefer the gray color, but NTMD large Apple company, good MacBook will fade color, paint…

Later later I also gave up, directly chose silver..

Official website of choose and buy

I bought is 13 inch MacBook Pro 2020 model, and through the website to buy, the light that I simulate the purchase process several times, because is the first time to buy, and is the way to use credit card, staging and worried about can’t support 24 installment or have what poundage, also see a lot of instructions and even purchase agreement, etc. Finally, I went straight to the 13-inch area and made a choice

My goal is directly on these three kinds of above, in fact, there are the fourth kind, I looked at their own, feel bankrupt is not enough, can only choose the so-called amount of beggar version, which is specific we guess..

The early order

On the morning of July 2nd, or on Thursday, I got up at about 6 o ‘clock and filled in all the information I needed to buy on the official website. In the process of shaking in my hands, I used the credit card to pay by installment. I remember that I also shivered when I bought a computer last time. It seems that every time in a new environment are very nervous, very anxious, very confused… After placing the order, I received a confirmation email from the “sweet” Apple

Wait patiently

I placed the order on Thursday and waited for 3-5 working days. Remember, it was a working day. As a foreign company, Apple does not count Saturday and Sunday, so I theoretically waited for 5-7 days before starting to deliver the goods.

  • The order progress
  • Open it by express
  • Initializing the system
  • TouchBar effect

Everything down, although a little bumpy, but the overall effect is satisfactory, maybe writing code or daily use is relatively smooth ~

Education discount episode

On the very day when I got the delivery, the so-called education discount was launched on Apple’s official website. I didn’t know much about it before, but when I learned about the one-week education discount, I felt I lost, so I sent wechat messages to my former classmates, asking them to help me buy one. I returned it, because it was about 2,000 yuan apart.

Moreover, I also sent messages on wechat moments to make sure that the educational discount was reliable. I was really busy for a while, but in the end, I did not return after thinking about it.

Up was a time that I have, and is also well, second is urgently need to be on your own website service updates, server expire, migrated, 3 it is to even let my classmates help to buy one, the last also buy vouchers on her information, so I also did not have to use the so-called warranty or after sales,,, ah reasoning, or forget it, Don’t bother her, just use this.. In case it breaks down later, I can also take it to the Apple experience store for warranty.

However, here is also very grateful to my classmate, can help out with ideas, ideas, and even help to make decisions, so I still use this.. A little more expensive a little more expensive, who let me not take an examination of the graduate student… I don’t think so much..

Sources of funding

In my previous description, the money I bought the computer mainly came from the fund income from the end of April to the beginning of June, plus my salary saved for two months. In fact, it was enough to bite my teeth, but I still decided to apply for a credit card. It’s 24 installments. If I had any money, I wouldn’t have done it in installments. (Smile face)

Fund income

To be fair, my ability to afford an expensive or even luxury MacBook Pro a year after graduation was largely dependent on a little return from the fund and my eagerness to spend it and return to the fund market. The fund’s performance at the end of June told me that I had made the right choice.

At the end of June, the A-share market performed well, even reaching 3440 points at one time. Many of my classmates and friends made money during this period, and almost all of them rose by about 20%. However, by the time I finished this article, that is, at the beginning of July, the A-share market fell down by about 15% in many sectors in two days. The earnings of the previous period of time are vomited out, so ah! Or to timely control, never think of stocks, funds to make a fortune, perhaps can only be counted as the joy of life…

If you have to ask me, how much position, how much profit? I can honestly say that during the run-up in late June, I was $800 a week at one point. That is, my $20 position remained unshaken and painless while rising 9 points every day

Then I had a paragraph with my friend:

The friend asked, Why are you limping?

I answer: you see recent A unit, this thigh ah, all is clap swollen, clap break of ah, so walk A limp…

In short, combined with about 28 funds managed by me on Alipay, I missed the A-share market in June, but I also got the rare soha bottom hunting and changed my first MacBook Pro. It can be said that “if I give up, I also gain, contentment!”

Two month

Of course, buying Apple products is so expensive that it is not realistic to rely only on the income of the fund. Therefore, I basically need to save two months ‘salary and the fund can afford a MacBook Pro. To my shame, one year after graduation, my salary is still only a few K..

Credit card installment

For a credit card, as long as you have the relevant account water are all can do, is only a question of quotas, when I was in office with the salesman have a good communication, hope to improve some, convenient payment installment, so there will be a smooth order later, each month still hundreds of pieces, although some trouble, but I think now that bai is also a month also, That multiple credit cards actually have the same effect..

Ah, don’t say, from return credit card day is getting closer and closer, want to borrow money to return…

Practical use

Personally, I don’t play games, but will be in station B look at the video, and then code development, editing video, study in station B do a qualified master of Up, after all, B station personnel so much, talk to listen, do Up is not so much easier, so the MacBook Pro for me is the main project development, video clips and so on homework

Project development

At present, I am mainly engaged in back-end development, writing JavaScript, and then Go and Java will be involved after changing the computer. Of course, I want to use front-end development and micro-service in website reconstruction. There are many things, so the project development needs it very much.

At the same time, I have also opened some warehouses on GitHub, mainly JavaScriptCollection and 408CSFamily, for maintenance. I will spend some time to summarize my important knowledge into these two warehouses every day. Welcome to add, star and follow. GitHub will also have its own other kaiyuan projects and plug-ins.

The video clip

As an UP, I really feel guilty about not being able to do video editing. I have just started to learn, and I am not skilled in transferring, dubbing and post-production. But wait until I…. hahahaha

Reward yourself

Actually get the computer, is very mixed feelings, can’t be said so much, is just to make themselves feel so expensive things worth to spend, so use it well, learn more things, looking back behind should be a good memories ~, I’m going to eat the corn meal, the last time to eat or at school, or ah Rong to take me to eat

Life sometimes always feel so unsatisfactory, hand grasp cards so bad, but there is no way, only hard play, have a chance to win…

The future expectations

  • Learn video clips, B stations constantly more

  • MAC adaptation, distributed micro services done

  • Read more books, document and open source

The last

Life is long, but fleeting; If the series helps you, buy the author a drink…
