Throughout the history of computer development, there has been no unified standard for data storage. There are two commonly used rules for byte arrangement. For example, if the low-order bits of a multi-digit number are placed at smaller addresses and the high-order bits are placed at larger addresses, it is referred to as little-endian; conversely, it is called big-endian. In network applications, byte order is a factor that must be considered because different types of machines may adopt different standards, so they are all converted according to the network standard. According to reading habits, big-endian byte order is more consistent with the left-to-right reading order.

It’s my seventh year in the job, and I’m not getting as much positive feedback on the code I write. Let me reflect on how I ended up on this coding path. People’s choices, especially when they’re younger, tend to follow positive reinforcement more closely – actively avoiding harm and seeking benefit.

The policy announcement was incredibly sudden, and its implementation was swift – the Health Code QR code was lifted, and checks for green codes in public places ceased. Browsing the Chinese-language version of The New York Times, the entire front page was dominated by discussions about China’s reopening.

While reviewing the code, std::this_thread::yield() suddenly popped into my view, a syntax sugar from C11 that I’d used quite a bit, but hadn’t noticed before.

I had an idle Tencent Cloud server that was expiring at the end of the year and I hadn’t planned to renew it. So, I decided to deploy a MySQL database for development purposes. When reinstalling the system, I wanted to save time and chose a third-party image provided by Tencent Cloud, which already had MySQL installed. I thought the system should include a Readme file or similar documentation explaining the password and deployment path.

Here’s the English translation of the provided text:

Within the vast system of Chinese characters, the character “命” (life/fate) is utterly unique; there isn’t even a single homophone. Perhaps this subtly suggests that each person’s life has only one opportunity, cannot be replicated, and cannot be relived.

During leisure time, I browsed the rankings on Qidian Chinese Net, and “The Nomenclature of Nights” consistently topped the charts with an overwhelming number of monthly votes, far surpassing the second-place book – a gap that was truly daunting. For many years, I had primarily read works by well-known authors like Tang Jiaqian and Ergen. This time, I decided to try a new author’s work and experience a different reading sensation.

The investment in testing for financial trading systems far exceeded that of other systems, with tedious test steps repeatedly executed and a low ROI. As projects and personnel changed, uncontrollable factors inevitably introduced, a common situation being the modification of a field output from Interface A impacting the results of Interface B. With each version release, risk also accumulated.

Theoretical Knowledge

• How to Measure the Value of Automation? An automation testing ROI = (Manual Execution Time) * (Number of Runs) / (Development Cost + Maintenance Cost)
• Which Features Should Be Automated? Frequently used features that are unlikely to change. Writing automated test code for this type of interface yields the highest returns.
• Why Choose This Timing to Drive Automation Testing? Not appropriate near project launch – distant water doesn’t quench immediate thirst; automation is a long-term return model. It’s most suitable when the project is already in a production environment and within a stable release cycle.

Framework Selection

Given the task of automation testing without prior practical experience, a typical starting point is to open a search engine and find tools and frameworks that can be used with the current system’s technology stack, review the user manuals, and get started. If you can immediately find a suitable tool, congratulations, perfect start!

Starting from my academic years, I’ve been working with C++ for over ten years. So, why do I need to learn other programming languages?

Work experience: Lacking experience in elegant module design, C++ syntax is freeform. Learning other languages helps me guide the development of more elegant designs.

I often use them when writing some tools. The design principles for low-level libraries and business modules are also becoming clearer.
