What else do you do to work on your own growth as a software engineer? I try creating a habit to read everyday and keep my hands dirty in development. What else can you do outside of work?

I want to create a platform that can help students to be better prepared for jobs. Based on my conversations with universities, resume preparation can take up to at least an hour per student for every revision. What if the platform/tool guides the student to create at least a well formatted resume so it helps to save the career counsellors time by 50%? And how can we help the students stand out if all resumes look the same?

xueyonggon What are some pain points you faced trying to build a company?

The point I'm hearing for this really is to take good care of your body. Rest when you have to. "Go slow so you can go further" :D

Hi Phillip! Just want to say I'm so sorry to hear about your heart attack. Yet I am so glad that you are well and back up on your feet again!! I really admire your willing to provide the service for the company so readily! It reminds me of a book I'm currently reading, and I'm sure it will bless you a ton!!

The book is called: "Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success".

Phillip, Looking back to 2013-2014, I was wondering what would you have done differently both on the product and also for yourself?

Exactly like you, I am wondering how to go 'faster' and 'faster' in how we build things, test things, and know our users.
