Work Habits

Planning and Time Management

1. Receive project/requirement → understand → break down tasks → front‑end/analysis/communication → solution design → effort estimation → detailed technical plan.

2. Parallel tasks: prioritize execution order and maintain a to‑do list.

3. Time allocation: use Gantt charts, Excel, or notes.

Development Quality

1. Understand business requirements and outline business logic.

2. Follow development standards with focus on reusability, maintainability, proper comments, and logging.

3. Self‑testing:

Functional testing (Postman, Apifox, YAPI) – essential for later debugging.

Modular functional testing.

Front‑back end integration testing.

Report‑type testing includes data validation, multi‑dimensional filtering, and comparison with existing reports.

Communication and Feedback

Key points:

Background (why) + Issue (what) + Solution (how) + Conclusion.

Be concise, supported by visuals and data.

Record and provide timely feedback.

Positive Response

Timely responses enhance team cooperation, build a good personal image, improve external satisfaction, and foster a positive work atmosphere. Manifestations include promptly replying to read receipts.

Work Experience

Write Things Down

Use tools such as Sublime Text, notebooks, or Youdao Cloud to record ideas and notes.

Understand Rather Than Memorize

Deeply understand the business line you are responsible for; develop based on that understanding (framework, core business, core data structures).

Increase Code Responsibility

Maintain a serious attitude when writing code, participate actively in testing and debugging, fix issues promptly, and write maintainable, well‑structured code.

Continuous Learning and Thinking

Learn from peers (communication, thinking, technology) and explore new technologies such as Golang, AI, server‑side, databases, and other languages.

Adapt to Change

Turn pressure into motivation: first embrace change, then adapt.
