29 Apr

 I chatted to people. Many but I don't feel drained. Good sign.

Ella / Boundary

Boundary is good and important. Distant could help. We'll figure out more from here.

Ella / Changing Team

Turns out it's easy. Just go on grow and see if there's any open headcount. Chat with the hiring manager, and that's it. No excellent ratings required (up to the hiring manager, though).

There's also a "transfer with level change". Apparently it only applies to L6-9, so for me, no hope for one stone two birds :p

Change team is referred as "project transfer", no interview required (yay!) It says gResume in docs. But Ella didn't mention it at all. I suppose it's for role transfer specifically.

But! If I transfer now, I won't be able to relocate to Zurich within a year. I should take this into consideration. 

Ella / Project

I feel my brain is function again! But I'm still feeling a bit anxious and stressed while information flooded me.

I'm back to onboarding. It's currently targeting M-08, which should be in trunkfood (flag enabled) by mid May. Only two weeks away. After which, only flag-exempted bug fixes can get in without affecting the launch. Other bug fixes should be guarded by "bug fix flags", which has a shorter process to rollout, and separately from the original flag.

Anyways, the "known unknowns" or "known knowns" are

• Implement the logic to decide which onboarding state the user/device is in
• Implement the daily job to send out notifications
• sub task: use shared preference to do something, I forgot.

These are stretch goals, now it's spread out and I can see it a bit more clearer. It could be me over-estimate the tasks, or under-estimate myself.

Either way it's tomorrow's work problem. And I'll take it one day at a time.

Junior / Goal

Searching goals itself is a goal. Yeah I agree. I'll give myself that.

This is what I'm doing this month :)

Junior / Leaving

He seems to be quite upset about the company, or rather, the corp culture/mechanism as a whole. And, he seems to know what he wants, and have a plan goes towards it.

Maybe I don't know him well enough. That Junior I know.. I'm worried. But anyways, his life is his life, all I do is just to respect his decision. Life will find its own way, whether or not the path he takes is the one I'll ever take.

Or maybe, he's doing whatever I've been wanting to, but not have the courage to do. We shall see.
