The story of the pipeline

I finished reading "The Story of the Pipeline" over the weekend. Although this is a book on financial management, some of the points in the book are still worth pondering, feeling a little bit, and recording it.
   Many years ago, in a small valley in central Italy, there were two young men named Pablo and Bruno, cousins, ambitious and eager to one day somehow become the richest man in the village.
  One day, when the opportunity came, the village decided to hire two people to transport the water from the nearby river to the water tank in the village square. The job went to Pablo and Bruno. Both grabbed two buckets and ran to the river. At the end of the day, they filled the town's water tanks. The elders in the village paid them a penny a barrel. Bruno was very happy, thinking that he had found a golden job, but Pablo was not happy. He was sore and sore after lifting the water for a day, and the hand that carried the heavy vat also blistered. He wanted to find a better way. , to avoid duplication of labor by building a pipeline that draws water directly from the river into the village, but Bruno disagrees, because no one has done this before, and the pipeline is laborious.
  Pablo insisted on repairing the pipeline alone. He also used Bruno's rest time to build the pipeline. One day, he found that his pipeline had been built halfway, and he only needed to carry water and walk half the distance every day, gradually. , Pablo has accumulated a lot of experience in building pipelines. The construction of pipelines is getting faster and faster. One day, he finally built the pipeline. He doesn't have to carry water every day. The water will automatically flow into the village, no matter day or night, he can collect To pay, meanwhile, Bruno was out of a job.
  The story is simple, and the author goes on to make the following argument: Most of us live in a bucket-bearer world where a day's work for a day's pay, a month's work for a month's pay, a year's work for a year If one day we get sick and can’t work, there is no pay, we are exchanging time for money every day , do we have another way to guarantee our own life?
  Ignoring the financial thinking here, what strikes me is that many times we should have better methods without duplication of work, such as our automated testing, such as we do more encapsulation, such as we integrate more util classes etc .
  Another thing that strikes me is that time makes the competition fair.
  We don’t all have the same money, the same talent, but we have the same time. Everyone has only 24 hours and 1440 minutes a day, and it will not vary from person to person. However, how to deal with these hours depends on your own arrangements. Many people complain that they have no time. The author lists the time statistics of our life spent on trivial matters:
6 years for eating
, 5 years for queuing
, 4 years for cleaning the room
, 3 years for cooking
and 2 years call back
. . . .
  If you squeeze out 2 hours of extra time every day and stick to it for a year, you will have 3 more months of working days. This is a very objective wealth. Therefore, I am also examining myself, am I really tired? ? Are you really busy? What are you busy with every day? What do you do every day?
  I would like to share the above feelings with you all.
