水龙吟・警世

丘处机〔宋代〕

算来浮世忙忙，竞争嗜欲闲烦恼。六朝五霸，三分七国，东征西讨。武略今何在，空凄怆，野花芳草。叹深谋远虑，雄心壮气，无光彩，尽灰槁。历遍长安古道。问郊墟、百年遗老。唐朝汉市，秦宫周苑，明明见告。故址留连，故人消散，莫通音耗。念朝生暮死，天长地久，是谁能保。

历史是一个恢弘而庞大的系统工程，就像是那无与伦比的圣殿一样；理想与现实的距离也是一个伟大的系统工程，就像从一粒沙子到人工智能的语音识别的距离，这其中涉及了各种各样的复杂的系统，它们相互交错相互影响，人只不过是这个系统工程中一个比例很小的微观系统。而这所有的系统都是建立在安全稳固的连接之上，安全就像是盖楼用的钢筋，将其他所有的毫无相关的材料连接在一起。层层的保障构筑了我们看到的现在这个世界。

编程有一个术语叫做"橡皮鸭"，指的是这样一种场景。

程序员遇到一个特别困难的问题，有时会找到其他人，向他人描述这个问题，希望其他人给点建议。

随着人们越来越意识到少数公司通过现代网络的中心化性质所积累的权力，许多人现在正转向一个去中心化的选择：Fediverse。这个名字有印象吗？对大多数人来说，可能没有。但你有越来越多的机会与它互动。

自题小像

鲁迅〔近现代〕

灵台无计逃神矢，风雨如磐暗故园。

寄意寒星荃不察，我以我血荐轩辕。

愿中国青年都摆脱冷气，只是向上走，不必听自暴自弃者流的话。能做事的做事，能发声的发声。有一分热，发一分光，就令萤火一般，也可以在黑暗里发一点光，不必等候炬火，此后如竟没有炬火：我便是唯一的光。

在体制内最深刻的教训就是不要寄希望于任何人，幻想只会蒙蔽你的眼睛、消磨你的斗志、沉沦你的精神，只有自己的努力才是你自己的希望。别人只会做锦上添花，而不会做雪中送炭，甚至当你落魄的时候还会落井下石。

走了这么多路，原来真正能一直陪伴你走下的只有自己的「孤独」（这是个中性词），最终还是和自己的内心和解了，这是你不得不和自己妥协。

人的感情是最容易被忽视和摧残的，它看起来如此脆弱，但它反噬却是如此强烈，让你明白什么是最深入骨髓，最能让人通车心扉的。其实这才才算理解了「以人为本」的真正内核。

美国著名投资家芒格（Charles Munger）是巴菲特的合伙人，以投资思想丰富而著称。

我想分享他的一段话，普通人应该怎么找到自己的竞争力。

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become

The title of this blog is a quote from James Clear’s Atomic Habits book. The tl;dr of this book is a set of strategies to get 1% “better” each day.

If that’s the case (and I certainly agree), here are some of the recent votes I cast and why.

• Completed a higher ed management curriculum in strategy and innovation. I cast this vote so that I could learn new models for expressing existing or new ideas in a way that more effectively conveys the substance to stakeholders. I also met a ton of wildly successful business leaders and faculty that I otherwise would not have had access to.
• Worked with our engineering and management teams to re-plan a major project so that we can incorporate additional engineering resources and adjust to more aggressive timelines. I cast this vote because our existing plan would not meet business objectives and that’s not my style.
• Proposed structural changes for Red Hat engineering as a whole to set ourselves up for a more sustainable future (firm believer that structure dictates behavior). I cast this vote because our strategic goals were drifting out of alignment with incentives and goals for the IC levels.
• Met with Emerging Tech group to identify ways for them to support our managed services growth and technical strategy. I cast this vote because while our CTO office incubates fantastic new and innovative technologies, we have to leverage those skills in different ways in the future.
• Worked with an internal team on strategy documents to draft a position paper on “Open Services”. I cast this vote because I believe firmly in Red Hat’s business model and want to see its core ethos carried forward into the managed services world.
• Kept up my mentoring schedule. I cast this vote because I want to remember how my mentors affected me and pay it forward. Oliver Parker, here’s to you sir.
• Worked with a small group of folks to create a coloring book on Site Reliability Engineering called Reliability Nightmares. Red Hat has over the years delivered a number of coloring books for topics we care about. I cast this vote because “culture eats strategy for breakfast” and I felt this would be a fun tool in fostering a movement.

I’m still digesting the rest of this book, but wanted to get some basic thoughts about this particular quote written down.
