How to live good as a Vietnamese born in the West
What I learned as a Vietnamese born in Canada was to just listen to your needs here in Canada as Canada is safe and supportive. I have been treated so well by ‘Canadians’.
All I wanted to do when I was in grade 6 was to build software utilities.

I finally did it … The key is to do something that you can do alone mostly without the distraction of being an adult with adult wants and needs … I think … ???
Basically when you turn 35+ you get old and go internal …

Then growing up I realized to go the extra 20+ miles is to refactor all the time for a niche passionate product. This way you learn the infinity of structure and scaling. To do this you need to also work with people so passionate who are kind of higher spirited than you on team projects.
There is the dynamism of a passionate team where someone is doing some coding from Canada while some are leading the project with scripting and different types of programming from Russia and elsewhere.
There is team dynamism where you are bounce ideas and building back and forth.
For example, Microsoft Word (Office) is a world class project that is worth everything.
It is a product (project) that serves a purpose. The more you try to build it and add more features you learn more. That is the secret. By keeping on refactoring this product you might learn enough and everything in time???
Refactoring is addictive when you figure out that it builds you up and the addiction is making things more efficient and more efficient. Eventually you learn everything by doing programming … I think. That is the thing with programming … it keeps building you and makes your mind more and more efficient that you learn almost everything in this world by doing it.
Dmitry Nefedov/farag2/Sanctuary taught me ‘refactoring’. He has been building his projects for 11+ years and a couple of years into his projects he realized refactoring became this ‘building activity’.
