“Live up to the time, the creation of non-stop, this article is participating in 2021 year-end summary essay competition”

I am a programmer who has changed my career. I am not too old. I studied traditional engineering (mining engineering) in university, but later I decided to switch to computer industry for various reasons.

I changed my career to Java, and I was lucky that I chose this language at that time, because the school is in Yanjiao, so I worked in Yanjiao after graduation, and then slowly went to Beijing, where I stumbled along the way, and now I work in a relatively well-known company.

2021, for me, is a double harvest year of love and career, can be said to be a highlight of my years as a programmer!

About the business

It has been more than three years since I changed my career. From an ordinary second-degree student majoring in mining engineering who failed more than ten courses, I have become a senior Java engineer in a relatively well-known company, and I am quite satisfied at present.

At the end of this year, I resigned from my two-year job and worked as a Java developer in Ikang Guobin Health Management Co., LTD. To be honest, I really liked it there. The leaders and colleagues were very good and I had a lot of time to learn.

Then I had a series of interviews in November this year. Actually also did not face a few, I also did not have what interview experience, because is the last job is naked resignation, so not good and HR about salary, later must pay attention to, can not naked resignation is not naked resignation, so their pressure will be smaller.

A few interviews down, found his algorithm is not very good, this may be a common problem of programmers, I suggest that we brush the algorithm must be as early as possible, it is best to brush one or two questions every day, so that when the interview can be confident. I only met with about ten companies this time and got most of the offers, such as Meituan, Cainiao, 58 and so on. But some head enterprises did not send resumes, I think it may indeed face less, this is also some regret, let’s see you next time.

Finally, I chose a well-known company. Although the salary increase was not as high as double, it was still satisfactory. For a person with my background, it was a good harvest year. If you want to push inward, contact me!

About love

This year is also my love harvest year, ORIGINALLY I have no too big expectations for love, but this is the biggest surprise this year.

As fate would have it, I met my lovely little fairy, two people thousands of miles apart, one in Beijing, the other in Sichuan, on February 12, 2021, which is the Spring Festival, we met. Edge, wonderful!

We from acquaintance, to know each other, to love, and then together. We talked about everything, we laughed, we cried, we became each other’s soul mates, and now that I think about it, it’s like a dream, but it really happened.

You say me to buy you the tablet, iPhone, turnip head is too expensive, says I’m too good for you, but when I saw you bought me yeezy, you bought me the first birthday cake, and you give me write a love letter, you give me hand knitting scarf, ah, this is the real priceless ah, this will is my treasure a lifetime treasure, money is a thing apart, But baby you’ve got my heart.

About life

In the past two years, I have devoted myself to study, and to tell the truth, I have hardly had a life of my own. Every day, I have been working and studying a lot. It is common to learn one or two things in the evening.

Such a life made me make rapid progress in technology, but it seemed to make me lose interest in life. For example, it was difficult for me to have any emotional fluctuations in some people’s emotional ups and downs, and I always felt that I was a bystander.

But that all changed this year. I met my lovely little fairy, my little fairy, appeared with colorful glow, let me gray world instantly full of vitality and vitality, I found that life is so wonderful, the world is so charming. I’m especially grateful to my fairy.

This year, I’ve taken more trips than I’ve taken in all my previous years combined, which I wouldn’t have done before, but I met my lovely fairy and I was motivated to do it, and I think it’s all worth it.

About learning

For those of you who have also changed careers or are changing careers, or who majored in computer science, if you want me to give you some ideas and suggestions, the biggest advice is to keep learning, learn systematically, summarize in time and learn to output.

1. Keep learning

   1. This is not for the computer industry, in fact, no matter what major you learn, no matter what industry you do, keep learning is always right. Life is a long distance race, the final victory, is not necessarily the first to run fast, must be able to stick to it!
   2. When learning, your efficiency may not be so high, but you must stick to it, a lot of knowledge, just learn it is difficult, but stick to it, most of the knowledge will become simple, the so-called practice makes perfect.
   3. I myself am a lifelong learning practitioner, and I will focus on learning for a period of time almost every day, no matter in the subway to work, or in the lunch break at noon, or in the evening, I really like this feeling of learning.
   4. From this, can lead to another point, that is love, generally speaking, love an industry, can be easier to stick to it. You don’t need to know too much about an industry to be passionate about it. Take me for example, I didn’t have any feeling about the computer industry before, but I fell in love with it after a few years of contact with it, and then I stuck to it.
   5. Perhaps, for those who do not like the computer industry, persistence is also a kind of torture, for those who want to enter the industry, do you really love the computer industry? If not, you should choose this field carefully.

2. System to learn

   1. This is also important, because if you don’t learn systematically, you’re bound to go astray. However, for beginners, you do not have to be too strict with yourself, especially when there is no guidance, detours are inevitable.
   2. I took a lot of detours at that time, because I was not this major, did not know the way to learn, blindly learning, stepped on a lot of pits. But, to be honest, I don’t have too much regret about the pit I stepped on before. Why? Because I kept learning, and I kept learning every day, I was able to spend more time filling in the holes THAT I had stepped in, and I was able to repair them. Therefore, it is very important to keep studying.
   3. As for specific systematic learning paths, there are many learning paths for career changers. Station B is a good learning (entertainment) platform. Zhihu also has complete learning paths. In addition, I would like to say that the basics are very important, computer principles, data structures and algorithms and so on, if you want to go further, then learn more about the basics.

3. Timely summary

   1. This is also very important, when you gradually learn a lot of knowledge, but you will find that some knowledge is interrupted, some knowledge can not remember many times, this is generally not summed up in time. When you learn a knowledge point, there must be a general knowledge point or knowledge structure in your mind, later recall, can quickly remember, if rote memorization, it is very difficult.
   2. Generally speaking, after systematically learning a lot of content of a knowledge point, you need to make a personal summary, you can draw a mind map, or flow chart, etc., there are many methods.

4. Learn to output

   1. When you learn something yourself, you have to let others know your ability, you can share your knowledge, be a disseminator of knowledge.

   2. You can blog, join open source projects, do tech sharing, etc. There are many ways to export your knowledge. In fact, output is also a good way to learn, when you tell others, you will pay attention to how to make others understand, then you stand in a different Angle, this point, for your future learning or work is very important.

   3. I have been writing blog in CSDN for a long time: Liu Java. I just started to work in Nuggets this year, but I have got a lot of prizes: massage machine, vacuum cleaner, water cup, T-shirt, hat, pillow and so on. When I am looking for a job, I will attach the link to my blog, and many interviewers agree with me.

2022 outlook

2021 is going to be a very productive year, both in love and in business. It’s probably my first high point as a programmer.

Of course, 2021 is just the beginning, everything will move forward and life will be better. I have also made some plans for my career, life and study in 2022, which is not detailed at present, but will be improved in the future:

1. Career: Quickly integrate into the new company, quickly understand the business, strive to achieve a good performance, the year-end full. Have the opportunity to also go outside to see, or develop a sideline, for the little fairy to earn more bread money, earn big house money!
2. Learning: stick to learning, in-depth study of the source code and principles of some components, for the shortcomings of the previous interview. Then, study in depth the knowledge of a new field to improve the breadth and depth of knowledge. Keep on blogging: Java Liu, in short, learning is done.
3. Life: Enjoy life with my fairy, cook, go shopping, travel… Be a person who understands life. This year, just the beginning, from now on, let us write our love poem together, when we are old, I accompany you to watch animation together! Then I have to bring my grandparents to Beijing to play, I was brought up by them, they are very not easy.

Finally, I want to say, dear, life has no meaning, it is our behavior, our every move gives meaning to life, let us hand in hand, live a meaningful life!
