Pieces of my life

2022 has been a year of progression for me. I have published an academic conference paper. I have decided on my career path and have also gained lots of head starts through projects and internships. I gained a ton of software engineering-related skills, and also started to LeetCode. I have transformed from a stupid programmer to a software engineer. I also learned a lot more about the industry mainly through Blind and a bit from Reddit.

I also kind of decide not to pursue a Master’s degree in the US, but work there directly instead.

Here are some blogs and newsletters that I enjoy

Snapping is a term in Mistborn, meaning a person’s magic ability being awakened when encountering some life-death situations.

My mother is not a Misting, as Allomancy does not exist on the planet Earth, but we have archangels.

Yet another chromium browser …. but it’s different! It reminds me of Vivaldi with its command palette and customizability, but it provides a lot of unique features over Vivaldi (with the reverse also being true), at least the Vivaldi 3 years ago as I completely switched back to Firefox since then.

Netherlands 1-1 Ecuador

No, it’s definitely not an offside. The keeper already dived another way, the player in the offside position has no influence at all. Bad call.

Ecuador is pretty fun to watch.

Argentina 2-0 Mexico

Tuve no idea que Argentina y México se odian. Soy felíz por Messi marcó un gol y ganó, pero Argentina fue malo. Estuvo incapaz de mantener la bola en el mediocampo, y crear los opurtunidads en el último tercio. Pienso no progresar mucho si califica para la fase de eliminacion.
