2022 Lunar New Year’s Bit by bit
今天终于找到时间来做2022新年的年度规划,写到一半发现还是得为队友考虑考虑,于是才有了以下的精神分裂版新年想法💡:
1.Be soft and embrace the ease of life is a great lesson to be learned in 2022.
首先无需要面对的一个真实生活真相是,在目前的生活状态和工作场景中,似乎已经不能够很简单地找到一个,足够我长久发展的可切入的立足点了。作为一个有一些些焦虑,同时也有些完美主义的个体,我承认,在很长一段时间里,我都没有能够很好地 buy in “work hard, play harder” 这样的思维模式,因为处在系统里的我,也存在着工作日的惯性(更形象点来说,是一种在前进的过程中无法从容积累和放手的自如)
下午三点的烦躁是对于工作本身的厌恶么?如果让我归因的话,工作里的杂事/琐事/复杂事确实会让我厌烦,相较而言,在种种繁芜杂事之中人与人之间过于精明的算计,才让我非常sick。
偶然读到一个NYC的瑜伽姑娘的文章,被她的坦率和她对于自我的探索和认知精神折服了。在她的博客中,她写道:“Coincidence is a gentle push/pull from the universe”.
How amazing it is that she incorporate herself into such a giant space and feeding herself with the nutritions that are coming from the wind goes through, from the bright sunshine on her faces and from all loverly/messy things that originates from wild nature.
自己身上的最大毛病是:自以为足够多元,足够兼容,可是对于与自己内在价值认同不同之人,却无法给予正常的对待和评价,或许今年可以开始从回避的态度慢慢走出来,看看信息茧房之外的这些人,这些事,生长出一些对于生活本身遭遇的悦纳和对于与自己认同所不同之事的包容,可能会有更多新的启发吧……
2.Expose myself to common challenges of work and reducing the times when losing faith.
想起2016年上证券投资学课老师的话,那个时候北京到波士顿的飞行时长14hrs,而他却不满于此,那时他和我们提到超音速飞机,也提到他眼里对于2020s年代的设想,转眼间,如今这个10年已经过去了两年,大多数时候我看事情都还沉湎于within-covid时代的生活局限,把那曾经对于过往科技进步和世界公民的求职想法都尘封在了心底的角落。
或许,是时候开始准备起来了,无论做什么,怎么做,都还是为了更向往的平衡生活,那么,在有限空间和时间的限制,似乎就可以成为我为之努力触碰的一道可见的障碍,而且当自己真的
保证自己有产出pipeline,无论是继续互联网PM,还是拣回科研生涯的未竟之事,要能够保证足够的思考时间和沉淀输出。
3.Be present with my own, gazing at the gratitude and this exact moment.
As I enter my early adulthood, I’m proud of the work I’ve done to cope with pressure by bolstering my self-esteem and minimizing my need for external validation. I focus on gratitude, perspective, and on the joy this sport brings me, regardless of whether I’m alone or in front of a worldwide TV audience. Though my views of myself and the world are constantly evolving, one thing is for certain: no matter how much time passes, I’ll always be a hopeless romantic when it comes to fear.
虽然对于Eileen Gu的态度有些复杂,但是她的这番发言确实让我很受启发,和滑板一样,最开心的时刻是放松身体,在那一个专注的时刻,而且往往这个时候最不容易摔,恰恰是当我把注意力放在记动作技巧,想着怎么变得cool一些的时候,会摔到很惨。所以,更明晰自己当下和未来1-2年的最想做的事,不害怕地放手去做,那么很多时候结果可能会出乎意料。
4.Balancing independence, solitude, and interdependence. Try to learn and embrace a healthy relationship with my beloved.
我们无法谈论“爱情”,我们以“孤独”来谈论“爱情”。 一个永恒的悖论,就是一个永恒的距离,一个永恒孤独的现实。 永恒的距离,才能引导永恒的追寻。永恒孤独的现实,才能承载永恒爱情的理想。所以在爱的路途上,永恒的不是孤独也不是团聚,而是祈祷。 – 《爱情问题》1994,史铁生

传统上,人类一直基于四大学问——哲学、科学、宗教、艺术——来寻求亚里士多德问题的答案“一个人应当如何度过他的一生” 但如今,如果不是为了应付考试,谁还会去读黑格尔或康德?科学曾经是最伟大的阐述者,如今却将人生解释得支离破碎、艰深复杂、令人困惑。谁还会不带讥诮地去倾听经济学家、社会学家和政治家的高谈阔论?宗教对于许多人来说已经变成了一种掩饰虚伪的空洞仪式。随着我们对传统意识形态的信仰日益削减,人们转而寻求我们依然相信的源泉:故事的艺术。——罗伯特·麦基 |

1 | 精神上的安宁是一种很昂贵的东西: When you love someone, your feet can feel the ground. |
2 | 合理分配给生活的时间 和 给工作的时间,其实选择权是掌握在自己手中的,不要被钱和暂时的想象力困住。 |
3 | 见缝插针利用free time,多感受不同的城市风貌和气息,南来北往,保持思维的新鲜和活力。 |
4 | 有筛选性地高质量阅读:有限时间,读悦己之文,在被封闭的niche里也要牢记小声喧哗。 |
5 | Ukelele 2/3首曲子,带着滑板溜一溜各大公园,多加练习讲故事的艺术, |
6 | 多关心身边人,爱护队友,不吝啬表达,遇事不要预设,多些勇气和信心,即便害怕也有人一起share。 |
7 | 在最糟糕的时候,记得回来读一读,别忘了,做一切事情的基础是信任。 “吃好喝好睡好”,love is still the answer,退一步也没什么大不了。 |
8 | 植物可以给人极大的治愈感,照顾好一株植物,带它们晒够太阳。 |

真想大隐隐于shopping mall,北京的元宝建筑毫无美感可言,但藏匿于此的电影院确实质量不错,《爱情神话》是一部勉强只能描写市民社会的苦咖啡/小甜水电影,可是好歹偏见地真实。

Today my colleague Seb was discussing the movie Pop Fictions
with me, the one he fell in love with.
When I was complainning against the 996 working hours, “Show them your attitudes” is not a good excuse, it’s hard to describe the feelings and cultural customs to him an just one sentence.

This morning, when I woke up and tried to get myself recovered from the fatigue, one thought just flipped my mind and it was quite shocking: as non-physical existence, the platform that I am working on almost makes no difference to any of my family, the happiness, joy and sorrow are all wrapped in one small box called smart-phone, and I am spending most of time gazing at the most dirty and dark edges of the humanity, how silly it is, sooooooo sad.
On the other hand, I have been dragged away from the central team and the core business which I once fully engaged in. The stance is also different and I know this will definitely shape the future lifestyle I would have in the next 6 months or so.

NFT one digital Collage is sold for 69.3m dollars, oh my god. What’s going on?
“The Problem With NFTs,” a long video essay by the Canadian media critic Dan Olson, ricocheted around all corners of the tech world since it was uploaded on Friday. (It now has 2.6 million views and climbing.)

A writing style that contains a mix of Chinese and English is always confusing and hard to interpret. I did not notice it in the first place.I am still struggling to navigate the way ahead of me.

A pet peeve is a particular thing that bugs you every time
.
Today, I encountered this new term when reading the user guide of my colleague, he listed all the annoyances he had and he would complain about. I think it can be a good way to set the boundaries and inform all collaborators when we have cross-functional projects.
Covid-19 still shows no sign of letting up.
what my duties will entail as a platform product manager in 2022?
Over the past few months, I have witnessed a giant transition from a singular and small team to the multitudes of back-end engineers, front-end designers and algorithm ML engineers. To be honest, the current living conditions for newbies in TikTok are harsh and it requires extra effort being paid and more active engagements to be committed.

是做一个未来的主人翁还是电脑儿童?
With the chat channels prolonged, I am dragging towards an extensive loop to prove how profitable/meaningful my work is. This is right in some sense, it provides a strong backbone of the designed strategy and a lengthy enough system to secure the successful attribution if anything bad happens after the product been launched.

saveamerica
is banned in the US, how silly and irresponsible it is for the decision-making!
Talent Acquisition Toolkits:
-
Today, the affinity & bandwagon bias mentioned in the interviewers’ training also inspired me. Usually, I would personally infer some info from the statements given by the candidate.
- Organizational matters and business information are confidential from being shared.
- For certain arenas, if I do have any follow-up questions/concerns on the candidate, I can mark it down on the scorecard.
- Competency-based questions are tricky enough

今天和被面试的新加坡同学学到一个新表达:nudge the users
(让用户感知),确实微信的拍一拍也是用的这个词,不过用这个来替代sensible to users这个过于正式的表达会让我觉得更fit。
另一个知识点:热更新:hotSwap.

过年回家,如何给父母讲明白自己的日常工作,的确是一件很费脑细胞的事情。Allen君分享了他的建议,码农们还能讲讲在厂里拧螺丝的日常,而冠以产品经理头衔的我在给爸妈讲解我在大厂拧什么螺丝,就真的成了一道世纪难题,不尴不尬的中间商身份和过于魔幻的日程,三言两语讲给父母听,绝对不容易,想要自己心里舒服,爸妈长辈都开心的解释,那可就是很考验智慧了。
打工小妹每日做middleman,周旋于研发、测试、法务、Policy和各业务方爸爸之间,如今退居平台产品,接触最多的角色,不仅有各业务方,更有各个后端研发和模型研发小哥们,不断开会交换信息,不间断输出,确实像电池放电般累人。可是这种新型模式的工作,在传统行业和家乡小城,还是不那么常见的,想要理解,就得首先讲清楚自己的角色,还要足够接地气:
Fun episodes:「打工小妹如我,在马戏团上班,专门训练程序猿,每天不定时加班,受夹板气,努力不爆肝。」
段子归段子,进入到父母的频道,从他们的视角来看自己,确实给了我们一种难得的局外人窗口,让我们跳出了自己的角色,也跳出了工作的场域(field)。在大厂里做滚刀肉,事情繁杂无边,意义感却只能由自己主动找寻。春节回家,让一直陷在OKR对齐执行的话语体系里边的我们,也能稍稍来一次搁浅喘息,从日益扁平的工作维度中走出来。
毕竟,人在局中,往往看不清楚。

你曾感受过人和土地是有联结的么?
回家迎面初雪,可我回想和家乡城市的关系:好像有点亲切,却又有些复杂。
常常和在外漂泊的打工同学们感慨:「我们回不去了」,很多时候,家乡的城市也发展的很快,成长过程中那个我曾经习以为常的山边小县城,似乎已经和我渐行渐远了。但是家乡历史和文脉传承还是做得比较好的, 地方性体制里或多或少有些普通的文人们,虽然没有那一整套子。
安徽省内的文化凝聚力其实比较弱,听播客说:“合肥这个名字蠢透了”。鲁迅一直是有一种对于故土和乡邻的刻薄,可能很多我这一代皖南的孩子们,或多或少也对自己的家乡有种这样的情结吧……
Embrace my anxiety as a salarygirl. 拥抱工作带来的焦虑感,但过年了,松弛感的获得竟成了我需要重新学习的东西。社会时钟的节奏还在不断地往前走,身边人都已经走入了人生比较稳定的阶段,耳畔响起了这首老歌:“你说你,想要逃,偏偏注定要落脚”
北京的学姐在树洞里深夜倾诉:当很多朋友和故人都离开北京,「以前熟悉的人和事留在身边的越来越少,连同认同的自我都在远去模糊不见,变成了一个没有来路,站在原地迷茫四顾无人的人」,年节回故土,却还是无法跳开传统的关系网络,或许我始终还是一个outsider吧……

市侩的气息我很讨厌。 但是,去终南山的隐居青年们,无法抛弃经济问题,生存资源,实际在多大程度上可以脱离当代的商业生活而长久平衡呢?

Inspired by female sociology professors I knew in academia, I get to develop my own interests and hobbies along the working path.
North America Female Sociologists:
- Ya-wen Lei: http://www.yawenlei.com/, the platform architecture and the structural deprivation imposed on individuals are the most evident and thought-provoking reflections I’ve touchbased on.
- Emma Zang: http://www.emmazang.net/
- Fen Lin: https://www.fenjlin.com/(one of my role models since grad school, her life-style and observation is really inspiring)
- Elizabeth: https://mhbsd.net/
RIP, loudmurmurs. Such a doom day!

今早两个同事都给我发来了TT内容分级在小规模测试的新闻,说实话,心情有些复杂。去年此时,当我开始做这个项目,并没有意识到它会成为如今的模样,也没有想到部门架构的变化会带来如此大的冲击。但反过来想,去年仲夏时分,手里这么多杂事,其实也没有能够很好地深入思考,很多时候,既有的预判主导了我的判断,ld的放养也让我在固有的路径上越走越远,是时候把这种努力的momentum变化一下了。
“等一场伍佰的演唱会”,很久没有那种真正有期待的感觉了。

Today I happened to encounter a document providing an awesome tutorial for social-science background researchers on how we can understand the convolutionary layers in an intuitive way.
The Maxpooling:
- Finding the vertical structure of the graph
- Identifying the horizontal structure of the graph
- Conductng a combination/mix of the above two structures
2022-02-13 写作的艺术:彩色玻璃和透明窗扉
阴雨绵绵的周日下午,送别队友,回公司看到王成军2021年版课程syllabus中的一个章节:《写作是门手艺》,受到了不少启发,摘抄一些放在这里:
George Orwell once wrote that ‘Good prose is like a window pane.’
阿西莫夫《人生舞台》第72章的题目就叫写作风格。这里同样用到了窗户玻璃的比喻: 有的作品就像你在有色玻璃橱窗里看到的镶嵌玻璃,这种玻璃橱窗本身很美丽,在光照下色彩斑斓,却无法看透它们。同样,有的诗作本身很美丽,很容易打动人,但是如果你想弄明白怎么回事的话,这类作品可能很晦涩,很难懂。
至于说平板玻璃,它本身并不美丽。理想的平板玻璃,根本看不见它,却可以透过它看见外面发生的事。这相当于直白朴素、不加修饰的作品,理想的情况是,阅读这种作品甚至不觉得是在阅读,理念和事件似乎只是从作者的心头流淌到读者的心田,中间全无遮拦。
