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.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home. I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad.  Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monito...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
