When I first use Shopee long long time ago, do you know they didn’t split by category? Also, if you search something, it must be the exact wording else it wouldn’t match. Now, still there is problem sometimes but they actually made a very big progress during these two years. However the categories still not so right. hehe. That’s what I found. 

Remember a time when I brought books to their competition instead of using google two to three years back. Without any python background too. They were doing I guess to find someone who can solve their categories problem. Only 1-2 hrs given for each session to come up with the solution. I only managed to make the python and excel sheet work but never managed to solve though.  eh. 2 hrs 1st prize is a few thousands dollar. There were two different problems but I forgotten about the other one. It is a good experience though. Although not many people solved it within that few hours, but some were pretty close. Out of a hundred people split into groups, only a few groups managed to do it. My team I went with a person who I didn’t know until the day of the competition. The other one MIA. We just grouped ourselves out of facebook 🙄 all no background with python. The other member was late also. She was an electrical engineer and 1 year older than me. I was a mechanical engineer. None of us used python at all. I did read the book on how to use python and installed it before the competition and how to operate. Our friend, didn’t have python installed. I sweat. To me, she seemed to want to enjoy the free gift though. She was very enlightened with that. Although, I brought the same mind to see how things go as a programmer but at least I should try too apart from sight seeing. I managed to at least manipulate the Excel sheet. All the time were used to make it work before we can process the data. I managed to get 1% of the data correct though. Surprisingly. I think one thing software engineer needs to know why it works and why it wouldn’t. We both just quit our jobs too. That’s why got the time. What a coincidence but we never connect afterwards. The oldest was 50+. The youngest was 8. That’s the range. Maybe I should join more so that I am always working on data structure and to improve on that. Not why a hardware doesn’t work. Or how to make a hardware work which is pretty much the job of the person who makes the hardware.
