Career

I work as a senior software engineering manager at one of Alibaba group’s subsidiaries in Shanghai, it’s a large company in China, and I’ve had great opportunities to work with talented people and strengthen my skills in cloud infrastructure. However, the company is still not top-tier in this field. While I don’t think working for someone else is the way out, I’d like to know how the top-tier technology companies operate.

Health

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 I’ve been staying at home for more than two months, everything outside was shut down, I tried to keep my muscle training at first, but I gave up quickly due to a lack of equipment and protein intake. Now I only use an elliptical trainer occasionally to keep myself energized.

Learning

Before I realized that I have so little time to do things I wanted, I was used to learning everything new and interesting to me, which is a LOT. This isn’t the only problem caused by my insatiable curiosity, to make my life easier, I’ve learned to put down things I don’t need the most. I’m still not quite sure if that’s the right thing to do.
