I have a hard time defining myself. I’m interested in a lot of things, do a lot of things. None of them is good enough to tag on myself, yet none of them is that bad to be negligible. You just hit a normal guy.

I’m tested to be INTP type of people, and I agree with that. I prefer typing to conversations, because typing gives more space for in-depth thinking.

I have jumping thoughts. Not that I do it - it just acts like that. This sometimes bothers me in my work because people are easily confused when we’re discussing an issue. So I deliberately train myself to push my additional thoughts to a stack, focusing on current topic and hopefully I can still track the stack correctly. This worked to some extent but 80% of the time I can’t manage my stack properly and those thoughts are lost. I don’t know if this is a good thing. Deeply inside, I kind of regret it.

I’m a slow thinker. I used to be suspicious of it, thinking I’m kind of silly. But gradually, I realized that it’s just my brain taking longer to absorb new things into my system. I made peace with myself now, and see the trait as an advantage.

I’m a software engineer at Microsoft. Despite the fact that Microsoft builds bloated software and sucks at naming things, I still like working there because the impact of such a giant is just not neglectable. Even if I only commit to making my fellow developers work better, that still influences a few thousand people at least, and nothing is better than helping people.

I love soul-like games (Dark Souls 1, 2, 3, Elden Ring, Bloodborn etc.) but I can only play up to three playthroughs because I literally lose interest when I know what are ahead on the first playthrough. The rest two are merely for full achievements to pay my respect to the game maker or challenge myself.
