Question

 


Perks of working from home. I have been saying my spending was a lot ever since I work on site. Although not  entirely work from home, that’s the difference. Imagine I have been spending so much before that. 


If someone offer you a job, about 2.5 times your current salary but your current boss is nice, will you move? It was the greatest pull factor. I wonder maybe that’s why people keep on leaving. The pull factor is really large… JD wise not so sure if it will be intensive. They will be using a different technology and developing different things so you will not be in your comfort zone. But then with the same amount of time and the pay is 2.5 times more and you still get to enjoy coding… why no right? I just worry the boss sucks. I cannot tell if I will fit in. I haven’t touch Golang, Node.js and React.js for the past one plus year. Worst still, I haven’t touch Postgres even longer. Somemore, Postgres normally I queries through command line. I will have to fish out all my notes… MSSQL at least mostly can click through which is quite user friendly. Maybe there is some manager out there for Postgres. The JD was interesting though. If I get a hands-on to start from scratch, I guess I really want the job… The thing is I wonder what is the culture there like. Is it the got coffee tea break or birthday leave or a coding activity session or  was it too outgoing atmosphere which I will immediately felt introverted… I’ll never forget that interview which was like 3-4 years back. I was dumb founded by how much he talks about the weather, the place to visit and things the group enjoy. I was speechless. Maybe I should introduce Chicken Rice but I am not really sure if that’s appropriate for a foreigner. He wasn’t even here but was outstation. I guess sometimes, my personality was a bit odd that really good opportunity runs away and I kept on picking tough job… What can I do to change that? If only… I really want to do new stuff… It’ll be a permanent position! Actually, if I didn’t get it, I will just do a startup. I am doing mobile application since most of my program I did for mobile phones. Find other introvert to join. I don’t expect it to make money the first few months but at least I started it. After testing water, then still need to check if it does earn more than a 9-5 (more like 9-12) job. If it does, why not right?


For now, I think doing this app is just as good but I didn’t really like how it has to be done anyway. I usually felt it is more like a war than coding. The only good thing is I don’t need to join meeting. I know nothing from what they talk during meeting. Sigh. So far the only thing that is working without having much thought while I made the app was the email. The rest was kinda blood sucking tool. My blood level almost KO. If this is a hobby, I probably enjoyed exploring them. It wasn’t! Wake up call…

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...
