Yesterday, I had just said that I would take the main road and see whether there were any traffic police around, and as it turned out, I ran into them today. I had just reached the intersection by the subway station and was preparing to turn left when I looked up and saw a lot of traffic police among the crowd. An electric scooter had already been stopped.

I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t see clearly whether the rider wasn’t wearing a helmet or didn’t have a license plate. The light happened to turn green, and I couldn’t worry about all that, so I just drove forward first and figured I’d deal with the rest later. Hopefully, the traffic police didn’t notice me.

After driving through the intersection, I still had to go to work. I had intended to turn left but ended up going straight, so I quickly opened the navigation app to see whether there was a road ahead that could take me to the company. Luckily, I saw that there was a pedestrian overpass to get to the other side, and it wasn’t far either. I made it to the company and clocked in before 8:30.

I spent some time in the morning tinkering with the layout of the independent site. Using the plugin recommended by my boss, I was finally able to successfully import products from Amazon into the independent site. However, importing them one by one was very troublesome, so I decided to hand this task back to my operations colleague and continue working on the layout after all the product data had been migrated.

How should I start tackling the most difficult one among the ten projects at hand? I had already built the initial framework for the PIM system over the weekend, so now I only need to build up its features piece by piece.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. First, I needed to formulate a detailed development plan, so I tried Copilot’s Plan mode. After multiple rounds of questions and answers with Sonnet, the specific plan for the project had taken shape.

Before lunch, I received modification requests for another project. There were a great many things that needed to be changed, and many of them required modifying the assets. On top of that, I had to create those assets myself. I really do have to be a full-stack engineer now—even the design work has to be done manually.

Fortunately, I can hand simple image-making tasks over to Doubao. I only need to use JS Design to make minor adjustments to the finished images. I highly recommend this professional UI design tool. Nowadays, I put almost all of my design assets in JS Design. It has remained free throughout the many years I’ve used it, so it really is an exceptionally generous design platform.

In the afternoon, I finally finished the first wave of requirements, only for the second wave to arrive right afterward. I was also called into the office and criticized by my boss. It turned out that during the development of the official website, I had only considered screens with standard-resolution dimensions and failed to account for high-resolution displays, resulting in a terrible appearance on my boss’s 4K monitor.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining. After I reported my monitor problem to my boss, he immediately messaged HR to request a replacement for me. I still don’t know what kind it will be, but at least it shouldn’t be worse than the current one. And I was still greedy enough to ask HR whether I could apply for a Mac for development. Let’s see whether it can happen.

The thing I felt most deeply today was that the emergence of AI has dramatically changed the way we work. In the past, when working on projects, we often had to concentrate intensely on a single project. Trying to work on multiple projects simultaneously would only lead to distraction and half the results for twice the effort.

But things are different now. I can leave most of the work to Agents while I take responsibility for controlling the direction and making decisions. For example, today I was able to work on three projects simultaneously without breaking a sweat.

Finally, there’s the A-share market. Since work was truly packed today, I didn’t even have time to look at the market.

The A-share market opened flat and then fell, with 4,500 stocks waiting to rise. Except for the SSE 50, all the other indexes turned red, while the CSI 1000 and CSI 2000 fell by more than 2%, making it look like a mini stock-market crash.

Thanks to my holdings consisting entirely of large-cap blue chips, my profits held up relatively well today, and my cumulative historical profit once again rose above RMB 10,000.
