I'd like to take this moment to thank Yahoo!, my former employeer, who taught me to love Software Engineering and how to write the best-quality software. 4 years of being her employee nourished my life philosophy that the end of Software Development in itself is not about money, but people, passion, and love. Thank you Yahoo!

This page is also dedicated to my mentor Rick Jensen, my life-long teacher on Software Engineering. Having been the best tech leader I've seen, he treats software design, programming, and code review as a work of art and loves Software Engineering by ❤️, which is why I will follow his philosophy and, with tremendous sincerity, respect him as my role model in tech world

• I started learning English as a Chinese student far later than my contemporaries. When I took my first English language exam 1 month after the moment I didn't even know how to spell "hello", I got the highest score in my Middle school class among those contemporaries

• When I studied abroad in US, I picked up German language class for fun and I can still remember how I spent just little effort to spoke better German than those Indo-European-native language speakers

• I love languages

  • I have been studying ancient languages, such as Ἑλληνική and 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿, because they are interesting, engaging, and challenging, and, most of all, fun, in their own right
  • I have been nonsensical with languages
  • I have been facinated by how just few dozon alphabets and interestingly rigorous syntax rules allow us to live through an endlessly fabulous 5000 years of human history

Today, I extend my passion to the career of Natural Language Processing AI, becuase I believe in the power of language, the greatest invention in human history that, once being open-source technologized, shall advance the way we interact with this world

I Learn Technologies Everyday through Open Source

I'm interested in 5 topics of tech world:

1. Project Management (I'm still playing with LeetCode (see right) today as part of designing a more scientific hiring process for my team)
2. NLP Machine Learning
3. Immutable Infrastructure DevOps
4. React-based Frontend Dev with little more focus on the UI design
5. No-Spring Webservice Dev

I used to study technologies by blogging extensively. Since I'm running a company, my obligations right now are more on doing well for my employees and for my company, which leave me literally no time for the blogging. I do, however, keep studying techs in a, what I found, more efficient approach below.

Inspired by large enterpeise hosting their own private mirrors of public Maven Central, I forked documentation source codes of all technoloteis I'm interested in and publish them to GitHub Pages, which result in the following curated list. By these forks under my account, I'm writing my tech blog with thousands of helping hands around the world. In addition, I could also add my own study notes on top of their documentations:

  • Start VM from command line

    VBoxManage startvm <vm_name> --type headless

  • Stop virtual machine

    VBoxManage controlvm <vm_name> poweroff

  • SSH into a virtual machine

    1. To open guest machine network settings to make sure it's attached to NAT

       

    2. Then go to Advanced -> Port Forwarding and add these settings:

       • The IP fields can be left empty.
       • Name: ssh (or whatever you like)
       • Protocol: TCP
       • Host Port: 2222 (or any other port you like)
       • Gust port: 22

       

    3. Reboot host machine and ssh by ssh -p 2222 virtualbox-user-name@localhost

I have a backend-dev origin, but the reason I love frontend-dev, from a technical perspective, is, while not always the case in backend-dev, frontend-dev appears to be a world of functional programming, which I like a lot (subconcisously)
