Job Hunting​

• Amazing character arc, development (minasue)
• Great twist along the way, everyone is trying hard to find love
• Superb

Random moments (mostly food)​

• I am a bit exhausted again, but somehow pick myself up again
• Very small mental roller coaster

Job Hunting​

• The worst ever interviewer i have ever met, at the second interview with Fleet
  • This is the first time i face a rather offensive, rude and egoistic interviewer, from convo you can feel he dun actually knows a lot about engineering.
  • I really hate getting asked a vague general design question, i will always give vague simple answers to it. The real world does not work like that, thats not a healthy communication, thats just simply interview for interviewing, i hate that so much.
  • The fact he asked me how to avoid hash collision, granted that idk the answer, i choked here, but it implies he want me to answer something he knows and probably proud of, i have been there, and thats not healthy or helpful in screening candidates
  • He asked me whats the most complex proj i have done, i give my ans. He says it is not complex at all, 1. Rude, he should keep that judgement to himself. 2. Its not a 10/10 complex proj, but surely it is an average complex problem. He probably dun understand or even tries to follow what i say
  • overall i find the interview experience fucking sucks, seems like they are looking for a different person each round, they do a bad job at screening people. Feels like they want to hire a sa but not a senior dev
• I think because the two interviews are too polarizing, they decided to give me a third interview. I kinda dun want to deal with them anymore, but i dun think i have a choice.
• Cathay hr forgot to press accept participants, and i waited for 15 mins, at last she rescheduled

Vibe Coding​

• Copilot pro is not enough
• Kimi is... ok

Personal projects​

• Doomsday deployed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i finished a project!!!!!
• Started the kafka clone, i am truly learning a lot, and i feel like i am doing something 集大成
  • Service discovery
  • Protocol design
• Completely revamped vibe watch list, added multiple features, align some design

Random moments (mostly food)​

Sorry, i know, i did not keep track of my life from Jan 26th to Jan 28th. I am a bit sick these days, and i am trying my best to not faint while do interview preparation

• Got absolutely smoked by bitget
• Interviewed at Fleet at 9 freaking 30, i am literally dying inside and outside. but the format is quite interesting
  • they got a panel technical interview, and them a coffee chat like interview
  • the office is crazy good, also crazy far
• I ate a lot of donuts
• Oh and i am trying opus literally right now, holy moly it is so good

(i lied) I will resume the regular update starting tmr...

• Good sleep
• I totally forgot to record my day, but the day went by with me staying at my bed doing stuffs, so nothing to record anyways.

HT Studio​

• I have done enough on the refactor, i learned and feel satisfied and dun want to that the rest anymore. I am delegating to AI to finish the rest
  • Finalized how insert mode work, added the foundation, the rest is just hotkey, and the migration
• Added a few feature in random.py
  • IPC Communication with mpv. Seriously, the fact that mpv has a native feature that allows user to communicate with it via an IPC socket is so amazing and insane.
  • Basically the flow is:
    • When random loop starts, i kickstarted two IPC server (two socket file)
    • One is passed to mpv, for mpv side to receive messages. The other one is for mpv side to send messages to python side
    • mpv side detect keypress, send event through socket to python process to retag.
    • when python process done retagging, send a message to mpv via the second socket.
  • Fixed some random bug too

HEHE​

• Retagged like a few hundreds photo?

Misc​

• Watched two wirt's vod, healing and entertaining as always
• Watched a few prime's vod, he really inspires me to learn socket

What did i eat

• Chips and snacks, all clear
• 炒飯 leftover

Vibe coding​

• I am so tired of it now, i want opus so bad
• I added sentry, but the package became so big, cloudflare said pay or get lost
• Fixed a few bugs

HT Studio​

  • But thats the spirit of this project, we build everything we want
• Continue TMR (Which is today, Jan 9th, i am writing this on Jan 9th smh)

RL Dump​

• Organized and fixed the jack video problem, using ytdlp directly
• I need to download them on youtube per week too, they are losing a view because of my selfish routine
• Created a script with grok to play video randomly, and trash them when finished
• I learned that although python is single threaded, you can still somehow use polling to get the "select" experience like go
• Thanls (i dun know how to type)

I touched grass​

• Went out and buy groceries
  • Look at these pre packaged binlo materials
  • crazy fit from me
• Asparagus is so backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
• Looking at the sunset after organizing the groceries
• The matcha latte is absolute trash, the 蝴蝶so is pretty good tho
• Bought a bunch of snacks

Misc​

• I am a bit tired, so i finish the day by watching rl dump
  • Jack is playing bad, he said "That's ok", "Not the end of the world"
  • Thanks Jack, i got conforted a little bit
• Man the door lock fucking sucks, its so annoying
• I play pretty good ... and pretty bad Rocket league in the two hour session.
  • The toxicity is so funny that i want to start my own Sunless Khan channel
• I go wild on job applications, forced myself to apply, even it is not the most ideal company.
  • i almost attened a ai interview, but it is just too scam

What did i eat​

• Takeaway for lunch and dinner, the good old manwah and 春水堂
• I brew tea, its delicious.

its me again (Jan 9th after lunch)

What happened afterdark​

• Resumed listening to Enter the Misanthropocene by Abhorrent Expanse
  • It is way enjoyable than i already thought of, i need to do a few more listening, and watch the interview, i want to do some writeups.
• Turns out Wirtual's Trackmania videos is the best companion when doing deep listening session, much better than Rocket League
• I realized falling asleep with content, is the worst way to fall asleep. I will force myself to go thru the ambient session before sleeping from now on.

• Slept very late last night, bad wake up
• I said i finished the project YTD, well... i spent another day on it, it is just very fun, and stress-fress to put all of my efforts into building this
  • I refactored the whole add video page, finally!!!!!
    • I did most of the work, LLM did some of the initial work, but the code is much more maintainable now
  • I make use of several sessions, planned out a few more fetaures. But i think i will not implement all of them now
  • Added a analytic system (?) its not working, so will take some more time tomorrow
  • Isolating myself to just coding / vibe-coding makes my emotion stabler. Dun know if it is good or bad, its like after a break up you will go do something and just try to make yourself forget about it
• I vibe coded so hard i did not eat breakfast, i ate an apple and tomato soup tofu for lunch
• Dinner m gei
• I rested a bit, and watched some rocket league vids before sleeping... thats why i forgot to record my day, i am writing this at Jan 8th morning hahaha
  • There are always something wrong with Jack's video, not sure if it is 4k downloader problem or yt-dlp, will use yt-dlp directly and see.
• Oh btw i finished 黑白大廚 this weeks episodes
  • Bad cliff hanger, i just think giving us the finalist are more exciting

its me again (Jan 8th morning)

What happened afterdark​

• Nothing, i slept like a baby
