About Me#
Nice to meet you! My name is John - an internet/technology enthusiast who likes to tinker with strange things. Although it takes a lot of time, the rewards are also substantial. Being a smart person is great because I can monitor what I want to monitor, but the only downside is that I can't access human thoughts. Two quotes I really like are "I am fortunate to gain, and it is my destiny to lose" and "Have the mindset to accept things that cannot be changed, have the courage to change things that can be changed, and have the wisdom to distinguish between the two."
I am a novice backend developer, and I have various options. As a novice, I also have some knowledge of Java development and a little bit of framework understanding. I have the impulse to design my own things, but I haven't put in the effort yet. I am still working hard, and it's unknown how many years it will take. I will let you know when the time comes, provided that you are interested in following me.
Actually, I had the idea of writing a blog a long time ago, but after writing a few times, I found that I couldn't even stand to read my own writing because my writing skills were poor. Many things are stored in my local notebook, which may not have much meaning, but they still have some significance for me to reflect on the past. Here, let me tell you secretly, never immerse yourself in the past, it really doesn't make sense and will only waste time. If you make good use of your time in the present, you don't need to worry about the past. Whether you can achieve something depends on you. So, I am still learning and blogging. Let's encourage each other!
John#
As for why I am called John, it was also an accident. I needed an English name in high school, and I couldn't think of a good one because my English skills were not good. In the end, my classmate came up with one for me. It left a deep impression on me, and I wrote it as "Jhon". Later, Mr. Huang reminded me that it should be "John". I thought my story with English ended a few years ago, but now I know that it will accompany me throughout my life. I won't stop learning, so let's keep going!
Tiao Tiao Tang#
"Tiao Tiao Tang" is a name I often use, which matches my name. I learned it a long time ago. As for the story behind it, there isn't much to say. It's easy to pronounce.
Notes#
I have used many note-taking apps here, and the ones I have stuck with are:
- Built-in note app on my phone: It's quite useful for storing passwords.
- Notion: It's convenient and easy to get started with. It has many templates and is very convenient. You can even build websites with it.
- Shimo Docs: I use it for daily records, but not in-depth usage.
- GitHub: This is the note-taking app I use most frequently. It's really convenient. Just learn the basic syntax.
Reflection#
I can only say: if you can avoid intense liking and expectations, you won't experience such great sorrow. This is a big lesson.
Tinkering Journal#
The main updates are posted here. I am also working on a digital garden (I haven't fully explored TiddlyWiki yet, so I will update it when I have time) wiki.tangzhipeng.top. Additionally, there is a website implemented based on blockchain xlog.tangzhipeng.top (mainly for videos), and another website built on Notion, which can be considered my main website tangzhipeng.top.
