It has been almost a year since I last wrote a blog here, and I have had some time since leaving my previous company.
After leaving Chengdu last year, it was during the period of the strictest domestic epidemic control measures, which was a relatively boring time for me. I systematically studied blockchain knowledge and made some experimental investments in web3 companies. Perhaps due to the bear market, the results were not ideal. Coupled with the wave of layoffs in the domestic internet industry, the traditional internet industry was also in a downturn, and I went through a relatively low period. I started playing some games on Steam that had been gathering dust for a long time. At that time, I played Stardew Valley for a while. After experiencing the Jellyfish Festival in the first year, it came to winter. When I heard the bgm of winter, especially "The Wind Can Be Still," I felt a sense of loss after listening to it. Even now, I haven't opened that save file and have forever stayed in winter. It was also during this time that I began to contemplate life for the first time after graduating from university. I contemplate at different stages of life, but the conclusions drawn at each stage are different. Of course, this conclusion may not represent anything.
(When I was writing this paragraph, I really wanted to write about my contemplation of life. But then I thought there was nothing worth writing about. Many thoughts about life are born in specific times and environments. After all, people only live for a few moments. These moments can be beautiful or lonely.)
After the new year, I received several job offers. Some were local to Chengdu, and some were in Shanghai. In the end, I chose to leave Chengdu and come to Shanghai. Of course, as I write this article, I am currently in my new company, continuing my work on developing quantitative trading systems. After finishing the system development a while ago, I realized that I haven't updated my blog for a long time. When I have free time, my mind tends to wander, so I'll just write this illogical essay.
Originally, I wanted to turn this blog into a technical blog. I even organized it. I had previously set up a Hexo blog, but it was not good at handling various frontend code issues. I am not good at frontend development personally, and the experience of that blog was not good. After the server expired, I didn't renew it, nor did I continue to renew the domain name. But mainly, someone bought my domain name at five times the price I bought it for, making a big profit, so I decided not to write anymore.
I don't know how popular the Rust language is. Although I'm not an expert, I have been writing Rust for two years and have some thoughts to share. But my abilities are limited, so maybe I can really write some technical articles, haha, I'm just too lazy (x
On another note, as a quantitative development engineer, I have also come into contact with a lot of finance. We are now on the eve of a financial crisis, and as individuals, all we can do is deleverage and reduce loans. I don't want to write about anything else today. Maybe in the future, I will write an article analyzing the current web3 and finance, as well as the economic trends in China. But these are all subjective things and have no reference value.
In the long river of history, an individual's fate is insignificant, and living a good life is extremely luxurious.
