Coding

Learning Python within one week. Day 3 now. Maybe too slow? I can recall a few of what I learnt last year on Python 2. I wonder why coders like to name things after snakes or bugs.... Like Python or Spyder...... both of the things that I can't stand.....

After all the "interviews" or tests, I think at the end of all that, I probably learn all the languages available. Sometimes, I just lacked one or just one of it was not what I've learnt and I have to catch that up but then I didn't get the job. Pros and cons. If I didn't get the job, I get to use it for another job but then the dead cycles continued. I guess have to really focus on one and be good at it. If you don't use it, using it became less and less efficient until they are long forgotten friends.

I asked different people, all come up with different answers. Some was merely preference, some efficiency, some less thing to type, some easier to understand... I looked at articles that repeat itself. Verbose. Probably only 1% of their content is applicable to me. I read more and more but there is really nothing in it if you read more. Another dead cycle. Reading too much doesn't really get you anywhere if the content's quality is bad and you don't get it but then the insecurity in me makes me want to read more. I wasted the time just reading and not doing. That is not good. As in the quality of the code. Some say this way and some say that way. I realised one of my mistakes is not knowing how to test my code more efficiently so it worked in all cases.

After Python, I guess I need to go look at PHP. The C++ I've learnt was done 10 years ago (first ever programming language). Long forgotten I guess so got to brush it up a bit. The Matlab I used wasn't really the same as 10 years ago too. Anyway, I didn't realise their true power back then. I don't really need it anyway.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
