Tracing the Footprints of the Heart means that the footprints of the soul flow with the shadows, recording, tracing, and reflecting on one's inner world. At the same time, interesting information seen during the week is recommended.
I like rainy and snowy days. In such weather, the world becomes quiet, including the white noise I sometimes listen to during nap time or when I need to focus. It helps my mind calm down quickly, and with headphones on, I am not disturbed by the outside world.
🐶#
The puppy is three months old and has been at home for two months. Taking care of a dog feels similar to taking care of a child. Feeding, taking care, and playing with them are all essential tasks. The only difference is that you can scold a dog if it doesn't listen, but you can't do that to a child.
I named the gray one "Wang Duoyu" (same pronunciation as "Wang Duoyu," which means "too many fish" in Chinese). This is mainly because the gray one learns things slowly, is timid, and doesn't quite understand what I'm trying to express. It looks "dumb." It always pees and poops outside the toilet, sometimes without even squatting. I don't know if it's lazy or too young to hold it. It's very frustrating. After trying a few times without much success, I gave up and will try again later. This week, I caught it in the act again and scolded it face to face. Now it can poop in the toilet properly, which is very gratifying.
Regarding the name "Wang Duoyu," when I adopted them for free, there was only the black one. I added a sentence saying, "Let's find a companion," and brought the gray one home as well. Various problems made me wonder if I said that sentence unnecessarily, so I named it "Wang Duoyu" (too many fish).
Dogs are very cunning. For example, if I don't let them enter the living room from the balcony, they will sneak a peek at me when I have my back turned. They pretend to stretch near the sliding door, do a downward dog pose, and then an upward dog pose. As I retract my leg, they slip in. It's very funny.
Sometimes when I come home from work, I will train them. However, I treat each of them individually and won't compare them. I don't like comparisons. It's enough to compare oneself.
I hope both little ones can grow up healthy.
LC Scores#
After waiting for three days, the scores are out. I feel they are okay. I participated in a biweekly contest again on Saturday night, but due to the debuff of working an extra day, I only managed to solve one problem in half an hour. As a result, I didn't dare to participate in the Sunday contest.
Next week, I will continue to solve problems with a rating of over 1500. The more I practice, the more proficient I will become.
Front-end Entertainment Circle#
The front-end industry is truly an entertainment circle, with various fancy third-party libraries, "famous" front-end gurus, and various heated debates. This week, I came across this tweet:
There are also similar statements like "You can tell how someone is based on what they use to write Vue or React." It's really boring. It's better to focus more on the business logic of work projects.
This week, I'm reading "I Deliver Packages in Beijing." This book made it to the 2023 bestseller list on Douban (a Chinese social media platform for books). I want to see what makes it special and write my thoughts after finishing it.
