Saturday, the weather is nice.

I originally wanted to just bring a book to the library and read for the afternoon.

But I remembered that I haven’t finished things before the deadline (DDL), so I had to bring my computer as well.

Several days ago, I read Xuanwo’s 2024 Review - 40 questions to myself, I think I should also make one, to make my life look like it is not that boring.

1.What did you do this year that you’d never done before?

• We had a wedding.
• I started a new career as indie developer, bootstrapped Boring Design
• I moved from Hangzhou to Vancouver.
• I started to learn web 3 systematically.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions?

No. I do not think I have new year’s resolution. Should I make one?

This is the first weekly recap in 2025.

I can not control myself from making new year resolutions, but I know that’s meaningless.

Recently I can not wake up on time, I am not sure whether it’s because of the lack of sleep or the lack of motivation. 😮‍💨

I read xuanwo’s blog 2024 Review - 40 questions to myself, I think I will also do a review of 2024 in the week.

Developer Experience (DX) Matters, especially for side projects, non-profitable open-source projects, and early staged bootstrapped business.

I Can NOT Stop Working on Day Job

Recently, when I have extra energy after day job, I noticed that I prefer to spend time on my day job project, then the open source project, and finally the side project. But hold on, I have already completed the planned work for the day job project, and based on the importance, I should spend time on the side project first, then the open source project, and finally maybe some leisure time.

I do NOT like message recall/replacement. I prefer to NOT use it during online conversations, for both personal and work-related sessions.

Recall or replacement messages encourage people to avoid taking responsibility for their words. It’s like saying, “I can say whatever I want, and if I regret it, I can just take it back.” It’s a way to avoid the consequences of our actions.

Also at the professional level, it’s a way to avoid accountability. If I have sent a message to a client or a colleague, I want to be responsible for what I said, which means, if I made a mistake, I will have to apologize and correct it. I don’t want to be able to take it back, and pretend it never happened.
