2018 has almost already been in the book. I have had a wonderful year. Instead of spending time writing about it, I decide to spend time recalling it, and write a road map for 2019. The past is in a good care by the memory. The future must be written.
The road map will drive my time and energy. It also helps me make better decisions. If anything is against the road map, it is easy to say NO.
The road map is for my professional career. For my human career, the road map is always the same: be a good husband, a good dad, and a good self.

The second edition Refactoring – Martin Fowler has come out. I read the first edition 10 years ago. It has helped me writing a better code for 10+ years. The second edition is definitely in my studying list this year.
DDD and Refactoring are universal and never obsoleted.
Building a running software is easy. Making it fast and stable is a different story. By paying attention to the performance, it drives me to study careful about threading, memory, performance pattern, scaling pattern, …
Active Sharing
Sharing is learning. Giving is receiving. I will active offer my help in LinkedIn. If I am lucky, I can help someone.
That’s it! I am ready to welcome the year 2019.
