2023 Summary

Actually, the so-called year-end summary always gives me the feeling of "being too verbose is pretentious, saying too little feels like wasting a year of self".

Personal/Life#

The most important thing this year is that I graduated. Although my university life was not as enjoyable as it is portrayed online, it was still pretty good.

I feel that compared to myself in 2022, I am at least not as foolish as I was back then, although I don't consider myself mature now either.

Here, I have to mention a viewpoint. For recent graduates, finding the right direction is not the most important thing, recognizing one's own position is. I don't know where I learned this viewpoint, but I think it makes sense.

Apart from graduation, there are also things in life. I feel like I've only been tinkering with code all year, but I also feel like I haven't accomplished anything... I also want to try something other than coding next year, but I don't know what yet. But I'm not in a hurry, I'll slowly find something I'm interested in. At least I don't want to be bored, hhh.

Learning/Knowledge Management#

I have read 20 books this year, which is quite a lot. Compared to my plan at the beginning of the year to read at least one book per month, I did well and it was the best accomplishment in my plan. 🤡

I feel that the book that helped me the most was "The Courage to Be Disliked". As a student who has just left the "ivory tower", I tend to have a student mindset and easily get caught up in my own thoughts. I used to feel tired every day without doing anything, but now I look back and feel a bit speechless. But fortunately, during that time, I discovered that reading books helped me think.

Do I still have a student mindset now? Emmmm, I think I still do, but at least I can reflect on it and not get caught up in it like before. (Although I still get annoyed from time to time...)

Learning? I feel like I haven't learned much. I don't know if it's because of the curse of knowledge or if I really haven't learned anything.

But I have been laying the foundation and exploring new things. As for the foundation, there's C++, and there's also linear algebra... As for the so-called new things, of course, this is for me, it's about graphics? Or 3D? Both are fine, they are all visual things. And every time I see a fresh effect in the community, I think, "Wow, that's amazing!" They used that knowledge to achieve this. I always feel itchy and want to implement something myself.

But if I have to say what I have learned, let me think, I should have learned these:

  • I roughly understood the development process. After all, when I was still in school, whenever I did something on my own, I did it in a way that was comfortable for me.
  • I started to learn GLSL, or Shader. I have to say that this thing really requires a solid mathematical foundation, but it's also quite interesting.
  • I started using VIM for programming. I had heard of VIM before, but I hadn't tried it until around July or August when I saw someone using VIM in a video and found it really convenient, so I fell into this pit...
  • I used NestJS. After all, whenever there was no language requirement for backend development during my university stage, I basically used NestJS. I put it here because I think I learned a lot from using it in my graduation project this year.
  • I'm still practicing JS, TS, React, and RN in my spare time.

That's probably not all, but it's close enough.

Work#

I joined this company in November last year and worked as an intern until I graduated. I did some interesting things, such as a small D2C plugin that simply converts elements from design files to HTML. Of course, there were also some boring management systems.

But this is only part of it. Now I mainly work on RN, and compared to those management systems, there are indeed many more things to consider, after all, it needs to be compatible with Android, iOS, and even the web. 😅

Conclusion#

If you ask me, this year has been a year of confusion and clarity. I am confused about the future, but I am clear about what kind of life I want.

Until now, I don't know if my choices are correct, but based on my current understanding, they are the result of my contemplation. Even if the final result is not great, it doesn't matter. After all, life is not about the outcome.

However, I have always believed that what I am doing now will eventually come together in the future.

I hope we can all encourage each other.
