2021 · Confusion, Panic

We should all be happy in the present. Because compared to every year in the future, the coming years will be the best.

2021#

Starting from July 2021, I decided to record the remaining half of the year through the Github repository issue. It's interesting now that I have data. Among them:

  1. TODO list
all todo count: 306
done: 201
undone: 105
done rate: 65.69%

Only a 65% completion rate? WTF, my efficiency is really low, I have severe procrastination.

  1. I wrote 28 weekly journals, mostly complaining and venting.
  2. I wrote 21 work records, mostly incomplete records.

The most useful data is probably the number of completed TODOs. I hope to maintain a higher completion rate in 2022.

For the repository in 2022, I have set up two actions to track:

  • Wake-up record records wake-up time and mood through iOS shortcuts.
  • Update README with all git operations (push, add, etc.).
  • Manage more issues through ZenHub.

Review#

In 2021, I experienced graduation and officially started working; the epidemic went from good to bad; witnessed May 19th and experienced June 4th; learned about white money, black money, and the mature operation of dark industries such as "Murder Mystery"; learned about modern economic systems; learned about blockchain...

In March 2021, I resigned from my previous job and came from West Lake to Binjiang. The reason was simply that I felt that pursuing both physical and mental cultivation would only make me worse. Front-end development is too difficult and messy, and writing CSS gives me a headache. Being separated from the badminton community I used to belong to, it's hard to imagine that I could have some stable badminton friends in the West Lake area within 2 and a half months. Of course, 80% of the credit goes to Ye Ma and other friends' enthusiasm and tolerance. It turns out that being able to integrate with them is not my own ability, nor does it mean that I play badminton well. It has been almost a year since I came to Binjiang, and I haven't joined any fixed group. I have always been running around and playing social badminton. It is obvious that it is very difficult to integrate into a circle without the help of influential people. I am very grateful to the friends in West Lake who can still remember me and invite me to play and eat after I came to the other side of the river. I'm sorry for often being absent, I really want to make an effort to return to the other side of the river or have my own means of transportation. I can say that I think about playing with them every week, but the time cost and exhaustion really make it difficult for me to travel so far every week.

In June 2021, I graduated. My graduation project, which I cloned from GitHub, and my graduation thesis were completed in two days. I passed the defense in one go, and I still have a deep impression of it. I guided the teacher to ask me a question, asking me how to achieve the state of unselectable text. I said to use CSS styles, and then he asked me to show him the code. At that time, I thought, "Ah, I really encountered such a fucking thing. Isn't this kind of thing looked up online? Who remembers it so well? Fortunately, I did my homework." In short, the defense was not particularly smooth, but I passed it. I didn't take graduation photos or have dinner with my classmates because I hardly talked to them in the three years we were together. They thought I was strange, and I also thought some of them were strange. I had a very deep experience of this phenomenon in 2021... Overall, the only good impression the school left me was letting me live in the newly built Prince Building. I don't want to remember the disgusting things, but my roommates in the automotive engineering department and badminton friends have a very good relationship, and many of them are still in contact.

In July 2021, I signed my first employment contract. When I saw the 3-year term, I specifically asked a classmate who studied law to take a look. It turned out that I was worried for nothing. Then I went through a 2-week training, and now I want to say that this training was meaningless and a waste of time. The only lesson I learned was that I speak too directly. I can't do that in the future. It's better to be more tactful.

In the next 6 months, I started working. For me, I enjoy doing what I do. The only reason I am involved in coding is because it's interesting. So, currently, nothing can stop me.

🏸Badminton#

Tournaments I participated in this year:

  1. May JD Cup - Eliminated in the early rounds
  2. June Yonex King's Ambition - Eliminated in the early rounds
  3. June Victor Double Heroes - Eliminated in the professional group, missed the opportunity to play against Chai Biao
  4. July Li Ke Dong's Common People Heroes - Eliminated in the early rounds
  5. August company tournament, rare chance to win the championship, thanks to my partner

Most of the tournaments were in the first half of the year. There were fewer tournaments in the second half of the year due to the epidemic, but the main reason was that I played less. Playing badminton at least 3 times a week turned into playing badminton at most once a week. My physical fitness has declined a lot, my core strength has weakened, my arm strength is lacking, and my knees are weak... Various reasons have made me feel tired and have a sore back after a day of work. Starting from November, I started doing core exercises at home, but gradually forgot about it after a month... Although I played less badminton, I still need to take care of my body.

In 2021, I have already figured it out. Badminton has become a tool for socializing for me. It is difficult for me to improve through extensive training (unless it's a month-long closed training). Badminton is a story my father can proudly tell his grandchildren, and I am destined to not surpass him in the next few years.

📕Reading#

Books I read this year:

  1. "Maven in Action"
  2. "MySQL Crash Course"
  3. "How to Gain Ten Years of Experience in One Year" by Tinyfool, emphasizing the importance of lifelong learning
  4. "The Courage to Be Disliked" - didn't finish reading...

There are actually many books I wanted to read but didn't. And I found it difficult to buy books now, very difficult, and it may even invite trouble. Kongfuzi Old Book Network is an example of this. Next year, I want to read:

  • "The Power Myth"
  • "The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer"
  • "Embedded in the State: The Chinese Government and Economic Development"
  • "Being a Mayor in Shenzhen"

For the last book, I hope to learn from Zibin how to manage a city using the methods of managing a company. Of course, the most important thing is to see the darkness of the powerful country.

💵Investment#

In 2021, I went from being a gambler to a leek, and my mentality has improved. After all, in the past, losing a lot of money was just a few tens of thousands, but now even a major loss doesn't affect me.

After all, the amount of funds is too small.

I have experienced liquidation, made money from selling NFTs, although I have lost money overall, I found that studying whitepapers is a very interesting thing. It allows me to see various dazzling techniques for cutting leeks and the beautiful visions of project teams.

I have never been scammed, but I always see people getting hacked as soon as they see an airdrop and directly authorize their wallets. Anyway, I think pies don't fall from the sky.

The most profound feeling is that at critical points, there are always idiots arguing about long and short positions. There are also many such phenomena in life. In fact, if you think about the consequences and can accept them, you can do whatever you want.

In 2022, I won't touch contracts with leverage of more than 9 times, and I will align my actions with my thoughts and consider the consequences before doing anything.

Goals:

  1. Find a coin that goes to zero
  2. Don't FOMO in conversations
  3. Stay away from all scams
  4. Protect my coins from being hacked
  5. Pay less gas fees for transfers
  6. Study projects thoroughly

💻Coding#

First, let's take a look at the yearly statistics from WakaTime.

You can check the specific information from the link above. It's unbelievable that my actual coding time exceeded 1000 hours. I guess more than half of it was wasted time.

The most important thing I learned this year was not fancy operations and techniques, but how to expand new features in a real engineering project without destroying the original logic, product thinking, and how to leave room for myself in the face of endless demands, how to communicate effectively.

My flag for 2021 was 0% completed, I didn't even create the folders.

In 2022, I don't have high expectations. I want to handcraft a DeFi project that can go live on the blockchain.

Although China is completely behind in terms of infrastructure, we can play around with various applications. I believe that the atmosphere and tolerance for developing applications in China are good.

Games & TV Shows#

These two categories are so scarce that I plan to talk about them together this year.

I didn't spend more than 80 hours playing games, almost all of it was in Rainbow Six.

I only watched "Squid Game" and "Money Heist" this year.

Family Values#

In 2021, from my interactions with various people, I realized that my focus on this aspect is close to zero.

From my friends' descriptions, I can see that New Year's is completely different for me.

First of all, I am an only child.

But I hardly have any relatives on WeChat, not even close ones like my uncle.

I haven't seen my grandfather who is 9000km away for a long time, and I have never seen my grandmother who exists in this world but I don't know where.

Chinese New Year means nothing to me.

Lunar New Year is just a long holiday for me.

But I don't mind because the most important thing is my immediate family, my parents. Although they sometimes don't understand me, they support me unconditionally.

I have always been unable to figure out why I live.

It's for my family.

Vision for 2022#

  • Don't laugh foolishly.
  • Align thoughts with actions.
  • Don't have any emotions.

END#

Thanks to everyone who supports me and has helped me.

Thanks to my friends, I owe countless favors.

On New Year's Eve, I offer my most sincere blessings.
