When building AI applications, evaluation is essential. Must have evaluation step to know AI is progressing daily. This idea came when watching BABYMONSTER’s Introducing HARAM video. The good thing about YG training trainees is they always have monthly evaluation to measure growth of each person. The keyword is “Growth”. Even AI has evaluation, so why can’t humans?
Building a course website can imitate HackTheBox academy, using in-game currency called Box. To unlock a course use Box, if completed you get 20% back.
Found Lobe-chat: https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat/ - a nice frontend for LLM, supports many built-in prompts, tool calling, but no RAG and Workflows yet. Seems like future will have. Chinese wizards really make beautiful UI.
Today I got requirements from Tinh Hoa Solutions customer. I think I performed well: asked all relevant questions, understood what user wants, asked carefully for special features or system interactions, requested resources, etc. This is a good opportunity to practice being a leader. If I can bring the project to production, it will be a big step for my career.
To talk with end-users or customers who don’t understand tech, need a different way of speaking.
Also looking forward to news from holistics.io, really want to join there.
SOYEON - Not Enough is an example of a hidden gem. Audience will be excited if they find a hidden gem.
Holistics.io is a company I consider a pioneer in the analytics engineering movement in VN. Currently operating abroad, but very strong and their product looks very attractive. I really want to work at holistics, I believe working there I will grow fast.
Learning design patterns is useful when you need them. Sometimes you don’t know what you don’t know, at least learn to understand the purpose of each design pattern, then search to review when needed.
One thing I learned when working is some bugs cannot be fixed in a day or two. So wasting sleep time is useless, sometimes next morning you can fix it immediately. Should practice regular habits (eating, sleeping, pomodoro work) to work long-term for decades.
The mistake a lot of students made is not prioritizing their health, their sleep.
Found a book I want to read: Khi đồng minh tháo chạy. Author is Nguyen Tien Hung, a Vietnamese in USA, who worked with President Thieu and Ambassador Martin. Seems like an honest book about history around the Paris Agreement.
We all know investing in learning is very worthwhile. But it’s not just money investment, but also determination, time, effort. Like buying books or e-reader doesn’t mean you will read them regularly.
Today is a day off to rest and recover mental health. Will use time to write Years of coding.
One thing I admire from John Fish (at least on video) is being able to maintain high concentration to work more efficiently. And train that focus daily through reading, sleeping on time, working by plan, workout.
