1. How It Started
A while ago, I prepared to update my resume on Eleduck.
Since I have been looking for remote PHP / Go jobs recently, I wanted to adjust my skill tags to:
PHP
Go
Laravel
Gin
RedisBut I ran into a problem.
You can add up to 5 skill tags, but there is no way to delete or replace them.
In other words, once added, they could no longer be modified.
So I made a post in the community, hoping the administrators could improve this feature.
2. Surprisingly, I Received a Reply the Next Day
To my surprise.
The administrator replied the very next day.
Thanks for the feedback. This feature has been updated to include the ability to delete tags. Please try again.
My first thought at the time was:
They are really efficient.
Many platforms might take a long time to schedule something like this.
But Eleduck just got it done.
3. Re-editing the Resume
I went back to the resume page.
I found that I could now delete the original skill tags.
So I adjusted my skills to:
PHP
GoLang
Laravel
Gin
Redis
For me, these five tags basically cover the main directions of the remote positions I am currently seeking.
4. Even a Very Small Feedback Can Be Truly Valuable
Actually, before making this post.
I did not hold the expectation that it would “definitely be changed.”
I just thought:
Since I encountered a problem, I should provide some feedback.
I did not expect it to actually be adopted.
For a developer.
This kind of positive feedback is actually quite delightful.
5. Why I Have Started Recording These Things Now
Recently.
I found myself increasingly wanting to record these experiences in my blog.
I used to think:
What is there to write about such trivial things?
Later, I realized.
A lot of blog content is accumulated exactly this way.
A job hunting experience.
A remote interview.
A pitfall encountered.
A piece of product feedback.
A website optimization.
……
Individually, none of these are earth-shattering events.
But by consistently recording them over time:
- Someone might find it through a search;
- Someone might avoid a pitfall because of it;
- Someone might discover your blog this way;
- It might even bring in a little ad revenue or new collaboration opportunities.
So my thinking has become simpler and simpler now:
As long as it is a real experience and might be of some help to others, I will try my best to write it up as a blog post.
Each article might only get a few dozen or a few hundred views.
But over the course of a year, this content will keep accumulating and become an asset of your own.
