1. End the cycle and start a new one

The annual Lunar New Year is coming, a week or two of holiday can finally be fully relaxed to spend time with family, free yourself.

I don’t know if the post-90s generation is like that, but there is at least a small group of people (named “kao Gong” and “I’m bald and strong” programmers) who feel guilty about “taking a break” and feel anxious when they are idle. Is this a waste of time? Shouldn’t you “play”? Should go to study? Do you want to do a set of papers? Do you want to browse the technology forum? Do you want to finish the tech video? …

Programmers are a hard-working group, or a hard-working group would be more like it. In the work by customers, colleagues and leaders, how many times secretly vowed to make changes, this group of people will not miss the opportunity to overtake the car on the Bend during the Spring Festival.

But what difference can a week or two make? Look into new technology? Read a technical book? Watch a series of video tutorials? All of these things can help you grow, but when you go to work in the New Year, you’re still stuck in the cycle of last year. Swear! Again suffer indignities! To swear! Can’t get out of this vicious circle.

Usually “volume” but colleagues, how to achieve “curve overtaking” jump out of the “cycle”?

In fact, here said “curve overtaking” to see and who compared, if and did not “roll” colleagues than, that next year to nine out of ten or “roll” but, can not end the “cycle”.

Brother feng said here “bend overtaking” more than and their own, today compared yesterday whether he has progress? Have I made progress in this quarter compared with last quarter? Have you made progress this year compared with last year? If there is, it is not “curve overtaking”, at most it is not marking time.

So what is “passing on a curve”? How to realize the metamorphosis of “May the old year win the New Year” in this one or two weeks?

Feng elder brother subject 2 examination has passed twice, the New Year message language that coach gives: “wish New Year, win old year.”

Let’s listen to a story first.

2. Find a new way to “see a small pool”

2.1 Others dig mines, I dig Wells

In middle school, I often read some extra-curricular books, such as readers, meaning Lin, story collection and other magazines. Some stories left a deep impression when first seen.

One story stands out in the corner of memory:

In the 1950s it was rumoured that beneath the Atacama lay rich deposits of copper, aluminium and even gold, and people from neighbouring countries were rushing desperately into the desert to find mines and make their fortunes. Eighteen-year-old Batra Chegalet from Chile is one of them:

Every day, Batra and the people together to find the mine, but every day in vain, great physical effort is a small problem, the biggest problem is no water to drink, so people have to run to the desert edge of the town to get water. Back in the desert, batra, who had been collecting water like others from a small town on the edge of the desert, looked at the crowd of prospectors and wondered: Who would be able to find it with all these people digging? What’s more, even if it is dug, it is difficult to say who dug, when the time comes because of mutual looting and tragedy are likely, the mine can be dug not necessarily, but there is one thing that everyone needs, that is drinking water. In this case, then everyone in the desert mining, why don’t I in the desert digging Wells?

Then the young man gave up mining and began to organize men to dig Wells:

A decade later, copper, aluminum and even gold were mined, and while a few did make a fortune, Batra was already a multimillionaire.

For the full story: Water Millionaire in the Desert

Whether the story is fabricated there is no need to go deep, but at that time the identity of middle school students to see this story or greatly shocked, others dig mine I dig well, with others together “volume”, also more than a “path” to success.

2.2 Are you “rolling”?

“Volume” is a relatively popular word in recent years, but also a bit abused, a lot of people say what things “too volume, to lie flat”, actually did not understand the relationship between “volume” and benign competition.

Brother Feng thinks it is meaningful to define an event as a “roll” or a benign competition.

College entrance examination millions of troops across the single-plank bridge, the first and two of the class to study harder than each other, the college entrance examination for them is not called “volume”. But the cultural class performance is not good but clearly has the sports talent of the special talent students do not go to art students this road, and the first and second in the class to fight the results, the normal college entrance examination for the sports talent of this child is “volume”.

When you are involved in a matter, whether you are “involved” in it or in the needle to strive for the best, depends on your original aspiration, your expertise, your positioning of this matter.

If you have a clear idea of what you want to get from doing this, you have the original intention here, and you are confident that you can do it well, then come on boy, your efforts will be rewarded. However, if you do this thing blindly with the trend, even if you try hard, it is difficult to succeed, and even the more hard, the more “roll” in it, the more tired, in the end is also a basket of water, the harvest is very few.

It is true that as one experiences life, one has less and less time to be free to make choices. In the ivory tower, students have a lot of time to choose more effort and courage, the possible harvest is huge and obvious. In the society, most people are carried forward by the social trend, and they have very little independent disposable time. At this time, their efforts and courage may not be as fruitful as the student days, but more tired, sleepy and confused.

But whether you’re in an ivory tower or a social trap, whether you’re thriving academically or in a romantic relationship, it’s important to be able to clearly determine whether you’re caught up in the moment or riding the wave.

The hero of the story found a new way “others dig mine, I dig well”, achieved success, is a smart person. A few of the miners got some wealth, and this wave of miners must have been the ones who ventured into the torrent. There are also those who have faith, preparation and hard work, but failed, and those who deserve respect. The rest of the miners who “follow the crowd,” take chances, and don’t have a clear plan are the ones who are “caught up” in it and doomed to fail.

Being “rolled up” means “cannon fodder” in the future.

So, are you caught up? This is a question for which there is no universal answer, only an individual analysis of your current situation (e.g., are you goal-oriented, passionate, determined, put in a lot of hard work, has it grown you or given you positive value feedback, etc.) can be concluded.

2.3 Fragmentation time

That, brother Feng gives a recruit this Spring Festival not to be “roll”, another way to enter a new world.

Using fragmented time to create, from a passive input of receiving knowledge, to an active knowledge sharing exporter.

The word “creative” can be a scary thing to think of as “creative” only when an expert writes a book. In fact, creative is anything that produces something valuable to many people, be it a blog post, a short video, a tutorial booklet, etc.

Programmers also only began to create just began to accumulate and precipitate, just began to mature.

Why the emphasis on fragmentation time?

For one thing, after work, you will be overwhelmed by your own work. There is no time for your personal study or creation. You have to squeeze time.

The second reason is that fragmentation time really comes together more than you think and can create more value than you think.

What fragmentation time?

On the subway, when I/O is jammed (while waiting at work), when there are breaks, when problems occur (taking notes), when inspiration strikes (a great idea comes to you), etc.

3. What can creative sharing bring?

It can help creators to sort out the knowledge system and expand the breadth of knowledge. The creator thinks about what I know, what is the architecture of that knowledge, and what is valuable to share with others.

It can help creators to explore, learn and enhance the depth of knowledge. Creators want to share a theme, first of all to their share of the content must be clear, further try to explain others. This in itself is a good way to learn through a knowledge point.

Can help the creator accumulate, precipitate and reuse, this is a fortune. If the creator has figured out a point of knowledge, the next time the same problem does not need to be studied again, or even can be directly used. If the problem is more in-depth this time, you can write an advanced article on the topic after the research. The next time you encounter a problem, you are standing on your own “shoulders of giants”.

Can help others grow. Give a person rose, hand has lingering fragrance, do not know programmers in the programming time are in “Google this code how to write”, find the answer is millions of programmers share out.

It can be seen that the creator’s creation of a valuable content is far less helpful to others than his own growth.

Many of you may wonder if fragmented time can be spent wandering around tech communities and scrolling through video tutorials, but not creating. Take a look at Brother Feng’s practical experience.

4. Brother Feng works from 0 to 1

Brother Feng started this blog in 2015 when he first got into programming. At that time, he consciously recorded what he learned, such as articles about git and Linux, which he still uses frequently.

After work, I would summarize and output some articles from time to time, but I didn’t treat them seriously when I created them. 2021 has been the fifth year of feng’s work, the end of the Gregorian calendar to their programmer career to do a summary, is also a portrayal of mediocre programmers. Brother Feng hopes to have a new “beginning” in 2022 and end the “cycle” of 2021, when he had little growth.

How do you do that? The first thing is to take “creation” seriously, hoping to sort out the existing knowledge system and summarize and create some valuable content.

4.1 The foundation of creation

The so-called foundation of creation refers to the vision.

Brother Feng hopes to “explain some basic contents of the computer thoroughly with easy to understand words to help beginners and computers learn confused people”.

4.2 Standard of creation

The so-called standard of creation refers to the standard.

Brother Feng set the following criteria for himself:

  1. A technical article must understand the relevant technology to create and publish, to ensure that there is substance in words, the table is based on.
  2. The article should be checked and corrected “three or five times” to eliminate logical errors, typos and so on. At present, the article has been published in three places: Brother Feng’s Blog, “Brother Feng painted Halberd” wechat public account and Brother Feng painted Halberd Digging Gold Community. It has been published on three platforms in chronological order, and the full text has been checked, corrected and optimized before publication (all these are completed in fragmented time).
  3. Netizens should respond to the discussion and questions of the article, regardless of whether they can help answer them.

4.3 Art of Creation

By art of creation, I mean tools.

The tools used are:

  1. Windows:gvim,Nuts cloud,WSL2,git
  2. The Android platform:Markor,Easy code (EasyMarkdown),Logitech K380 keyboard
  3. The device:iVim,Nuts cloud,sunflower,Logitech K380 keyboard

Windows platform can be used when working; You can use Android when taking the subway or waiting for a bus. You can use an iPad if you don’t want to take out your computer or temporarily deal with some problems at home.

The key is that these three platforms can be synced through the Nut Cloud, allowing you to create anywhere, anytime.

Next, I will elaborate on brother Feng’s creation on these three platforms and how to get through them:

The Windows platform

Programmers generally use Markdown to write articles. There are many excellent tools on Win platform, such as Typora and Gvim plain text editor used by Brother Feng.

Feng’s blog has a local directory _posts containing.md documents. Link this directory to the nut cloud, so that local uploads and modifications can be synchronized to the nut cloud, as shown in the picture:

Wechat public account does not support Markdown syntax, so you can refer to Markdown-Weixin to convert the text content of Markdown into the official account article.

Brother Feng uses the Gitee warehouse as a map bed. It is necessary to synchronize the Github warehouse of Brother Feng’s blog to the Gitee platform first (The Gitee page supports importing the warehouse from Github). Before publishing the article on other platforms, use shell script to change the image reference in the article to Gitee hyperlink reference, as shown in the figure:

Shell scripts are executed on Windows 2 installed locally in Win, submitted to Github remote repository, and pulled down on Windows 2 instances. Windows10 Windows 2 Experience is so smooth (full service Linux on Windows)

So that articles created on Windows can be published on the Github blog; After converting Markdown image reference to Gitee reference, it can be directly pasted and published on the mining community; Published on wechat official account through markdown-Weixin conversion tool.

The Android platform

The synchronization of. Md files on Android platform and Windows platform requires WebDAV protocol supported by Nut Cloud. Yi Code APP supports connecting nut Cloud through WebDAV protocol, but the Markdown document editing function of Yi Code is not easy to use. Brother Feng only uses Yi Code as a client of WebDAV, and Markor APP is used for document editing, but Markor does not support WebDAV protocol. In order for E-code to sync nutcloud documents to also sync to Markor, the phone’s internal storage is used. The specific approach is:

1). Add a new note library on easy code pointing to the internal storage of the phone /EasyMarkdown. The operation is as follows:

2). Set the working directory on Markor to mobile phone internal storage /EasyMarkdown, and the operation is as follows:

In this way, when a document is created or updated on the Windows platform, the updated content will be synchronized to the Nut Cloud, and the mobile phone e-code will synchronize the nut Cloud document through WebDAV. Need to modify the document on the mobile end, nuts, cloud notes on easy code library corresponding document to custom mobile internal storage of notes in the library, and in fact is a cloud of nuts remote document download to mobile phone local internal storage directory, so open Markor read same phone local internal storage directory, will be able to display and edit the document.

After editing a document on a mobile phone, if you want to synchronize the document back to the Windows platform, you also need to move the document of the customized note library stored inside the mobile phone to the Nutty Cloud note library in easy code. Once the move is complete, documents can be synchronized to the Windows platform via nut Cloud automatic synchronization.

The operation of moving documents to different note libraries is shown in the figure below:

Brother Feng bought a K380 Bluetooth keyboard for iPad, which can also connect to a mobile phone. If typing on a mobile phone is not convenient at home, you can connect to the Bluetooth keyboard. As long as the thinking is smooth, you can also write to take off.

ipad

After finding a convenient way to do it on Android, the iPad is not used for editing documents as much as it is for submitting Git, publishing articles, and image processing on Sunflower Remote Windows.

Brother Feng uses iVim to edit documents on iPad, which requires a certain foundation of VIM.

Documents from other platforms can also be synchronized to iPad through nut Cloud. Open the iPad Nut Cloud client and send the article to iVim to start editing. After editing, enter ishare in vim command mode to save the article to the nut cloud directory to complete the synchronization.

One of the most important things iVim does is add and subtract fonts with keyboard shortcuts, make the fonts bigger when editing documents, and use a Bluetooth keyboard for smooth writing.

Add configuration to iVim’s.vimrc:

#Increase or decrease font size
#Hold down the CTRL key and the number 0 at the same time to increase the font size
nnoremap <c-0> :ifont +<cr>
#Hold down the CTRL key and the number 9 at the same time to reduce the font size
nnoremap <c-9> :ifont -<cr>
Copy the code

For more information about iVim configuration, see iVim VIMRC Configuration

In 2022, as a programmer, if you are still stuck, confused, do not know how to grow, then start your first creation, growth begins from creation, there, another sky!

Finally, I wish the programmer community: 2021 to end the bad “cycle”, 2022 to start a good “beginning”; In 2022, “Feng Brother bun” national Luck gaosu eat noodles ashore!
