Thoughts — Learning Management from Games

The original article was written in Japanese, but it contains many points that resonated with me at work and even things I can learn from. Therefore, I decided to quote it briefly and share my own thoughts here. The author is 36 years old. Formerly an engineer, he stepped into a management role because he was getting older and gradually losing his passion for technology. Right around that time, his boss said, "Why don't you give it a try?" The pay went up, so he went along with it and took the position. Amusingly, the author says, "There's just one problem: I hate people the most. If possible, I prefer being alone. Why would I want to manage people when things were going fine?" Anyway, there were no sales targets to worry about, the paycheck was coming in, so he figured he might as well do it properly.

How I Improved Our Development Team's Efficiency

A few months ago was the release window for a major feature. Before transitioning to the next project, there was no heavy feature development—mostly just fixing minor bugs and refining existing features. Because the development pace was less frantic, I had more time this quarter to focus on process improvements.

Thoughts on SSR and Its Use Cases

When web crawlers scrape a webpage, they crawl the HTML content to generate search results, caching a copy in their database that is periodically updated. This means that without SSR, the HTML file itself is completely blank, and the actual page cannot be seen until the JavaScript is parsed and executed.

Data Visualization — Taiwan Sexual Assault Statistics Record

I decided to work on this project after seeing related news and noticing the data was relatively complete. Thinking it was also a great opportunity to promote Svelte, I designed and built it along the way.

Vue Ref Sugar and Svelte

Vue creator Evan You recently proposed an RFC suggesting that ref declarations could be further simplified using JavaScript's labeled statements. This syntax is virtually identical to Svelte's. Here, I record my thoughts on it.

Lessons Learned from Kotlin: Kotlin DSL and Annotations

Recently, I built a small daily task management tool using Kotlin. The main motivation was to allow backend colleagues to maintain it together, but also because learning a new language always brings fresh sparks and ideas—plus, taking the opportunity to learn from the many Java and JVM wizards at my company.

Svelte Summit 2020 Takeaways

Svelte is one of my favorite frontend frameworks. I really love its simple syntax, flexibility, the creator's philosophy, and how animations and transitions are handled. I've previously written several posts sharing my thoughts on Svelte. Svelte Summit was held on October 18, 2020. Due to the pandemic, it was streamed entirely online, spanning 7 hours and 17 talks. Here, I'm documenting a few talks I found particularly interesting along with my own takeaways.

Those Standing in the Middle / Those Who Made a Choice

When it comes to any issue, a spectrum naturally exists. Some people will inevitably engage more deeply with political and social issues, while others only grasp the broad strokes.

Regular Expressions for Adding Commas to Numbers

When displaying currency, there is often a need to format raw numbers into a more human-readable form. In front-end development, we can achieve this in several ways, such as using Intl.NumberFormat or regular expressions.

Reflections of a Skinny-Fat Engineer After One Month of Weight Training

I had never worked out before college or even before my military service. Aside from thinking gyms were expensive, I also felt intimidated and embarrassed about working out alongside huge gym bros, constantly worrying that people would secretly laugh at me. As a result, even though my previous job offered a fitness subsidy, I never took advantage of it.

Looking at Business Opportunities Through Cafe Nomad

For software engineers, Japan's unique culture, environment, and salaries are rarely a top choice; many engineers who move to Japan to work do so simply because they love the country. Therefore, rather than discussing compensation or Japanese corporate culture, this article focuses purely on the current state of Japanese society to highlight what worries me the most right now.

Why Is Live Streaming So Popular?

Many people only have a superficial understanding of the live streaming industry, often assuming it's a profession for the less educated or hostess types. In reality, the live streaming industry has evolved into a unique ecosystem that looks very different from the chaos of its early days. Not only is regulation much stricter now, but the variety of content has also grown significantly.
