Heh. “Work log” is a generous name for it; there isn’t much to tell.
Right now I run a small Taobao shop selling domains and servers, and I write some code. Don’t laugh, experts — I’m still learning.
It’s actually pretty funny. Here’s what people ask me to build:
- A site selling diet pills (L-carnitine — scammers).
- A porn site (just one homepage, a pile of pop-up ads; click one and you’ve been had. One page, no real content).
- A “Voice of China” voting site (log in with your QQ or another account — log in and your account is stolen).
- A part-time job recruiting site (popular lately; college students have no experience and get cheated. Everyone stay alert).
- URL redirects (easy money off people who don’t know better — they want to hide the real link and bounce through several hops).
And so on.
Pretty depressing, isn’t it? Look at the kind of people who come to me. But who am I to complain — I’m not strong enough yet. Big companies won’t hire me, so I get these scraps. I’ve produced a fair amount of internet garbage, but there’s no alternative: proper companies have a specialist for this and a specialist for that, and outsourcing? I’m not big enough to go out alone, hunt for work, and sign contracts.
I’ll keep learning. I don’t think the road of code will be a lonely one. Anyone who comes to read my blog is a friend of mine — let’s improve together and carve out a patch of blue sky.
