Who am I?

My name is Tiger Yuhao Huang.

I am currently working as a python backend engineer at Saltus!

My biggest passions are boardgames, coffee roasting and brewing, eating out, home cooking, reading, software engineering, handmade noodle and bun, ...

My dream is to open a cafe called "Tou", it sells Man Tou (Chinese steamed bun with no filling), black filter coffee, latte using hand roasted coffee beans.

Cheatsheet Software Engineering

Behavioral - Personal growth

Take it easy!
Look for opportunity for incremental improvement
Read documentation/manual/user’s guide before using a new tool/cli
- this implies prefer using tool with good doc e.g. fish instead bash
Be more curious about how things work internally
Prepare because I am bad at ac-hoc talk and thinking
- ask for agenda for meetings so that I can be prepared
Validate assumptions earlier

Documentations - Building structures with natural language

Write comments, documentations before implementation
- remember the 4 types of documentation, Tutorial, How-To Guides, Explanation, Reference
- George Orwell's 12 points

Design - Writing good code

Design it twice
- write down two designs, each with pros and cons, then perhaps there will appears a third designs with combined pros and less cons
Architect great design rather than just working codes, then writing comments should be fun since that’s how you identify the best design
reduce complexity by adding or removing abstraction

Meaning Of Life

I believe that the meaning of life is to be alive.

I once thought the meaning of life is to enjoy every moment of life, but I don't think it is true any more because there were good days and bad days so it wasn't always possible to enjoy it.

But being alive (please do try your best) let you experience life in both its beauty and the ugly. Life is your unique experience with the world and every choices you made.

Others also believe in this idea.

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. ---- Alan Wilson Watts
