Write, think slowly:
The software team has busy work every day, there are many to-do items, meetings, oral communication, online bugs to deal with, reports to generate and explain... One month has passed, and I am trying to summarize, next month, and next year Here we go... So, in a rapidly changing world, should members of software teams still write? I think it is necessary, because when people deal with the various practical tasks mentioned above, they are all in order to complete the tasks quickly. There are various undercurrents in the heart, hundreds of thoughts, and various unfinished things. Things are backlogged in the mind, and at this time everyone is 快思考dealing with things in the same way. In fact, we should use it 慢思考to analyze problems and write, which is a very good process of slow thinking, forcing ourselves to distinguish emotions from facts, noise from insights, correlation from causality, and extract some insight and wisdom from our own experience. . Another advantage of blogging publicly is that your readers will help you point out various deficiencies and allow you to grow. Therefore, I think that the long-term rate of return will be very high by constantly summarizing the work, publishing it and discussing it with readers.
This is the report for the end of 2021 .
This is the report for the first half of 2022 .
Stepping stones leave marks, catch iron marks
CSDN is a platform for Chinese IT professionals to learn, grow and succeed. For more than 20 years, the CSDN team has tried a variety of innovative services on this platform. At the same time, the basic functions and operations of this platform have been going on-blog, community, creator operations, customer service, App, etc. How effective are these essential services and activities? Have they improved compared to last month or last year? In the history of CSDN for more than 20 years, if we have improved every quarter and every year compared to the previous stage, have these basic functions and services evolved to be the best in the industry? How will our results be in 2022? Please take a look.
Since I joined CSDN , I want to communicate with all CSDN users about the work our team does. On the one hand, CSDN is a platform for users in the IT industry, and it is natural to report work and listen to feedback from users; on the other hand, our own product managers and R&D personnel also use our own products (blogs, community posts, etc.) ) to communicate and see if we are satisfied with these products? To write a summary document, it is always necessary to have both pictures and texts, and be well-founded. Can we use CSDN's own blog to achieve this goal? This is the best test of CSDN's most basic blog + post function.
The small partners of our R&D team are also continuing to use the functions of CSDN, for example, writing technical blogs, posting posts, doing live broadcasts, etc. They are actually using our products to meet their learning and communication needs. A word that software engineers often say is: Talk is cheap，show me the code.Well, working in CSDN, a good way of communication is- show us your blogI hope that while you have great ambitions, you should have the style of " stepping on the stone to leave a mark, grasping the iron with traces ", and use yourself more products, discover specific problems, solve specific problems, continue to improve, and don't relax. Now that I have made the request, I have to strive to do it myself. This is the record of my own use of various functions of CSDN .

my review
After reading the summaries of the above teams, I will also share my experience here.
Core Value - High Quality Content
No matter whether the user comes to CSDN from the link of the search engine, or visits from the CSDN App or the CSDN homepage, it is because of it 高质量的内容. So, how to encourage everyone to create high-quality content in CSDN? We divide this problem into the following four parts:
- CSDN provides a wealth of topics for me to create
- CSDN writing tools provide a first-class experience (writing long blogs, short posts, notes, questions & answers, posting dynamics, etc.)
- I got traffic and high-quality interaction after writing on CSDN
- I have obtained first-class returns in CSDN through long-term creation
In the past six months, we have landed a series of work to enhance these four links. Are our creators satisfied? Please see this questionnaire . We also let bloggers analyze the evaluations of our users .
Core service - matching of users and content
CSDN has a large amount of content, and the quality will inevitably vary. This is also a source of user annoyance. Many users say that they have to search, browse, and select on CSDN many times before they can find the content they want to watch. In order to solve this problem, we continued to improve the following aspects:
- Quality rating of content: further improvement of blog quality score , and reminders to users.
- Type classification of content: further improved the labeling and division of #label# for blogs and other content, and used it
统一标签to . - In-depth improvement of user portraits, users can also set what stage of study and career they are in: identity setting
- For the matching of user portraits and content, users can also set the content they are interested in and not interested in , so that more accurate recommendations can be obtained. And comprehensive sorting and dredging of personalized recommendations (

Of course, we're still working on these areas.
Outlook 2023
I talked 慢思考about . At the same time, our world is still running fast. We will see many technological advancements in 2022, such as CoPilot, AI painting, chatGPT and other cutting-edge technologies . Technology is developing rapidly, AI There are more and more things that can be done, what should we humans do? Is it worth learning basic programming? Is there any value in learning and communicating between people in technology? We think there are, and CSDN should play a greater value. The purpose of our CSDN employees to write a summary is not to show how perfect we are. In fact, we have a lot of room for improvement. Our CSDN employees are also thinking about how to improve processes, products and services . We have also seen many bloggers doing year-end summaries for 2022 . In 2023, we will make more improvements, let CSDN grow together with users, and become a platform for more technical people to create, share, learn and grow.
