financial advisor

 A lot of financial advisor finds me now. I wonder what financial advice I need though. The solution is not to spend? If I really want to spend, then I have to spend ma… If I don’t want to spend, then I will save. Correct?

Every time I told myself to stop work at 11am and don’t go back the old road. Every time I checked my time after I get into the stealth zone which is easily achieved at night, It’s past 12 or 1… Since I missed the time, I just continued till I achieved some completion. I just did what I don’t usually did by splitting function into smaller functions… Hope that’s clear but I put myself in a trap. For me to change something, I have to go to different functions. I missed out some.

As always, 计划赶不上变化。变化赶不上老板的一句话。以前的同事说的。Just nice, before that, my code flows in one function. The changes I had was pretty minimal without affecting other function. And also other function wasn’t using it too so far the changes don’t draw my blood and tears. Addition is always fast. The longest time I spent was actually validation and test of code.

I think software engineers usually spent 1 % of the time to add a function or feature but 99% of the time to add validation and test the validation. Like I have 100 minutes to add a Name TextBox. I spent probably just 1 minute to add textbox function. I only need to copy previous if I have then paste. Change name. Done. The rest of the 99 minutes, Ensuring the data inside that textbox is valid, format is correct, filter is correct, if error catch, abnormal catch, data load and submit are correct… structures.. ui.. so on. The validation is the most troublesome because not all can be achieved. Therefore I have to find leeways to do it. Then comes the test. Every new validation, I need to test if it truly validates… Retest with every changes… 

Maybe software dev and product eng is different. well, imagine last time I did battery, all went straight to production before testing. I die you die. Whatever. First job as a Software Engineer… That’s the challenge that I had. I read in linkedin. That’s a dare.
