Epidemic strikes -- Thinking about telecommuting | community essay solicitation

Preface

Since the author 2019 Years of graduation , The epidemic struck at the end of that year , It has been three years in a hurry now , Now it seems , When I worked or The choice of graduate school has its own advantages , But for most people, there is no chance to choose from scratch . Life is not long , The epidemic has been going on for three years , We are all witnessing history .

In a first tier city like Shenzhen , The epidemic is intertwined with work , nucleic acid 、 long-range 、 The notebook 、 Home ...... Always around us

First acquaintance of telecommuting

What is the local office ？

Do software development in a hardware manufacturer , The usual work is basically related to hardware debugging , so to speak , In order to use relevant hardware or relevant confidentiality regulations , There is basically no remote opportunity , Use notebooks occasionally , Also doing software bug The above analysis or look at the code .

Basically, most of the work depends on your own computer host and Intranet , There are also many word of mouth “ The old ” Software (

But it is not necessarily suitable for telecommuting

)：

• sourceinsight------ Old code reading artifact , It's just that every code update requires rescanning , Compare memory usage

• Beyond Compare------ Contrast artifact

• Notepad++------ Screening log Analyze

......

Beyond all doubt , It is convenient to carry out various debugging in local office , Don't worry about hardware exceptions , How can I feel comfortable , Big deal restart , Or unplug again , Don't worry about network and permissions , It can be easily verified , Use all kinds of large software , It was a good experience .

Imagine telecommuting

Before telecommuting , I think telecommuting is more suitable for those who don't need to discuss , It only needs code Or maintain colleagues , Or most of the problems can be solved through online meetings , Or, like Linus Such a big guy , Master open source projects , Serve the open source community , Or a sideline boss , Stay at home every day , Work at home at ease , Can also work life balance, However, we are not such big guys .

If you can work remotely from home , That's excellent, of course , There is no need to catch the subway in the morning , Can also go to bed early and get up late , However, it's just imagination ......

Problems encountered in telecommuting

1、 Hardware / Software differences

Have to say , Telecommuting is friendly to colleagues who are purely software workers , Don't worry about hardware mismatch , Or a hardware problem needs to be verified , But there is no machine at hand , All this , The important things are as follows ：

• host / The notebook ： The company does not necessarily configure notebooks , Then the host can only carry it home , For secrecy , There's no way

• The Internet ： The network of the residence is ok , Usually enough , But with the company's potatoes VPN The server , That's not very good , I didn't get up early , It's hard to board all day , Inexplicably squeezed offline , Or a sudden disconnection ......

• Remote operation host , Naturally, the card is not good , Let alone rely heavily on UI Or the problem of screen recording analysis .“ I said this video is more catchy , I need you to analyze ”“ Where are you stuck , I watched every frame get stuck ”, Then he died ......

• code: The old software also stopped cooking , Rely on remote UI  Refresh , When you turn the page and find no response, turn it a few more times , Whether the , Locate the code once ,2min, Don't look at it at all , Fortunately, I'll transfer in time VIM, Direct connection server ,Vim Save me ......

2、Work/Life

The most uncomfortable thing about working from home is not knowing when to work , When does it leave work .

We all agree that , you are here 24 Waiting for an hour .

Local office , Nine in the morning and ten in the evening , There is still room for improvement ！

Telecommuting , Day and night , regardless of day and night ！

3、 Self management

Of course , The ultimate thing in this is self-management , May be the following （

Maybe, but not all

）：

There is no life and no one is staring , Then play games , Fishing day ;

There is work but not hurry , Then live on your cell phone , Fish properly for a day ;

Live a lot but no one urges , Then take a nap ;

How much life is urged , Love who who , You can't control , Ready to swing ......

so , Work also has a sense of atmosphere , If it is too loose , There is no sense of self , It was broken by the first two points , No constraints , Not only the things that should be done are not finished , And it's inefficient , The more you work, the more tired you are , Slowly began to fish .

Inner thinking

1、 A good workman does his work well , You must sharpen your tools first

There are many excellent tools for telecommuting , The author advocates a point of view is to get rid of interface tools as much as possible , Or every interface tool you are familiar with , There are alternatives to the command line , It may not be so easy to use , But at least know how to use , When you use it, you won't get black hands , That will affect efficiency .

• Code read ： Each has its own merits , like SourceInSight There are , like VSCode There are , In love with VIM There are , It is recommended to be prepared . Generally, our code is on the server , Use VIM More convenient ,ssh Connect and use , No need for extra configuration ,VIM A configuration , There is basically no need to make big changes in the follow-up ,Geek The preferred .

• Log analysis ：Notepad++ It does have its merits , But the memory is too small , Slow remote loading , Consider using

  , A good one log Screening tools

• Remote control of mobile phones ：ADB  not pass on to others what one is called upon to do ,scrcpy Tools can also be tried

• Cloud machines / Simulation machine ：

  It's also a better tool

2、work life balance Attempts to

Work , Life should be distinguished , This is done , Home office is very happy ！

Get up on time , Go to work on time （

It is recommended to dress normally , Otherwise, I want to rest next to bed

）, Dinner at , Take a serious lunch break , Get off work on time .

The best strategy for home office is to work locally , Do your job on time , Don't think about playing at work , Anyway, home , I'll make it up later , Once I have this idea , The hole in the back will be bigger and bigger .

The sun is shining , Serious life , Do your .

3、 draw up a plan , Improve efficiency

There may be morning meetings in local offices every day , Every day, someone urges you to give today's results , Home office may be worse ,leader There may be an online morning meeting , The demander may also be busy configuring the environment , Suddenly, I relaxed , The task is slowly out of progress .

You should make relevant plans , The suggestion is to make a list of what you want to do today every morning , Sequence and priority , Check your progress at the end of each day , Is there anything wrong , How to deal with it , Whether you need to ask for the help of your superiors ......

Work at home , But growth cannot be at home , Still make a plan , Improve your efficiency , Only in this way can you improve your ability , At home , Can also grow , Of course, it's more about learning and growing after work .

Conclusion

The epidemic is in a hurry , Things are not easy ;

Stick to your heart , Be yourself .
