Hey, I am Ray. A long-winded programmer.
About My Blog
I’ve had a habit of writing since childhood. Probably since 2006, I stopped writing romantic stories and started writing technical articles. I initially set up my blog on CSDN, then moved to ITEye, and finally settled here. From the domain name, you can see that this website is my own website, and all the articles are written by me. Half of them are technical articles, and the other half are about the confusions and insights of programmers.
There are many internet resources in the technical field, but in my opinion, programmer websites that convey thoughts, attitudes, sentiments, and values are rarely seen. Programmers are not just hard-working people, nor are they nerds. They are originally a group with attitude, personality, and fun, aren’t they?
About Me
I am just a long-winded programmer who likes and is used to expressing my opinions. My life is full of love and hate. I love design, coding, open source, traveling, music, the English Premier League, Manchester United, playing basketball, Diablo, freshly squeezed kiwi juice, and most importantly my friends and family…
I started working at Huawei, then moved to Amazon, and now I’ve joined Oracle, working in a team of talented individuals in cloud computing services. I enjoy both work and life. From Nanjing, Beijing in China, to now settling in Seattle in US, I have continuously accumulated my life experience. I’ve done various types of development work, from frontend pages to backend services, from product to infra, from websites to distributed systems, and from data analysis and processing to visualization. Now I am working on the development of a distributed workflow engine for cloud services at OCI.
I am a believer in comprehensive development for programmers and an advocate for programmer culture. In my career of more than fifteen years, I’ve experienced the hardships of programmers, tasted the joy of success, and gained a more realistic understanding of the bitter environment for programmers. Therefore, I’ve updated my values and formed such a dream:
I hope there will no longer be exploitation by unscrupulous companies in the IT industry, no one will laugh at themselves as “code monkeys”, and technical personnel will be respected, making programming a true creative endeavor again. The software industry has once again become an enviable industry, to be admired, characterized by freedom, openness, innovation, and inclusiveness.
If you also recognize the infinite possibilities of the internet, enjoy the interesting community of programmers, respect and enjoy life, detest things in the software field that are against information flowing, aspire to creative work, pursue rich experiences and broad horizons; or if you want to discuss technical topics with me, programmer stories, or even want to join an interesting engineering team, you can email me directly (raychase.net@gmail.com). In addition, I have many hobbies and interests. I’ve been a loyal Manchester United fan for over ten years, I write in my spare time, enjoy hiking, computer gaming and basketball. We might have a lot of topics to talk about.
About My Courses
This year, I launched two paid courses on Geek Time, named “Full-stack Engineer’s Practice Guide” and “Technical Interviewer’s Guide“. The former is for the engineers who are interested in web or full-stack development, while the latter is aimed at technical personnel and managers who want to systematically understand interview practice methods. If you find the content of this blog helpful, it is very likely that you will like them too. It is worth mentioning that in these two courses, I will read all the technical articles in full. I hope you can enjoy the pleasure of both technology and reading.
