I am weak and friendly

Chapter 238 The terrifying power of Boss Pingzi!
In an office building not far from Qihang Building, Liu Jiadong washed his face and returned to his office.

It was already afternoon, and Lao Wang, one of the company's founders and technical director, as well as his interviewer, was still arguing with PR #15.

As vending machines, many are located indoors, such as in shopping malls, underground passages, office buildings, etc.

The code submitted by Lao Wang is about positioning correction.

Currently, no one knows exactly how many Touchpoint Connect vending machines are in the entire city. OIFU's "map" mainly utilizes GPS data submitted by users themselves.

However, GPS positioning can be inaccurate, and if the user is using an older phone, the GPS positioning may be even less accurate. A vending machine being on the other side of the street and on this side of the street are completely different concepts.

In addition, GPS positioning has greater deviations indoors, especially on different floors, so relying solely on GPS positioning may not be accurate enough.

After all, a vending machine on the 8th floor and a vending machine on the 1st floor are completely different concepts.

The code submitted by Lao Wang used several different methods to correct GPS positioning.

This is done to make it as accurate and quick as possible for other users to find the vending machine.

This is a great feature, but it is relatively cumbersome and complicated.

Old Wang was initially full of confidence because their work was related to assisted positioning, and he felt that with his skills, completing this task would be a piece of cake.

But in fact, he has already fought back more than twenty times.

Well, being rejected isn't without its advantages.

For example, they have discovered many bugs that were not found in their original products and code.

After all, they were all written by Lao Wang, and the ideas and implementations are exactly the same.

The entire company was busy with this, fixing several bugs and pushing out several updates overnight.

However, the person who started this whole thing, PR #15, hasn't been able to submit it yet...

Old Wang felt like he wanted to die.

"Old Liu, I want to die," he said to Liu Jiadong.

Liu Jiadong also wanted to die.

He hasn't had lunch yet, and he's a little hungry.

Old Wang gets so engrossed in his work that he forgets to eat and sleep.

But he couldn't just go eat by himself and leave Lao Wang behind.

Moreover, his so-called "eating" simply meant going out to find a vending machine and getting some expired food back.

He wondered if he should hold back until he could go home before eating.

But judging from the current situation, I don't know how late it will take to finish today.

He's been racking his brains all day, and his head is completely numb. He really can't hold on much longer.

"Old Wang, let's go. Stop arguing with this screen here," Liu Jiadong said. "Let's go see for ourselves."

"what?"

"Go to a vending machine and see for yourself, test it out, experience the process firsthand, and maybe you'll get some inspiration," Liu Jiadong said.

"Yes!" Old Wang was taken aback.

Old Wang has always been struggling with code.

But they never actually went to try it out on a vending machine.

After all, in most cases, programmers test in simulated environments.

"Let's go, let's go!" Old Wang stood up. "I remember there's a vending machine right next to our company, let's go try it out!"

After wandering around for a while, they found a vending machine. Old Wang was a little excited and eager to try it out, asking, "What should we choose?"

Liu Jiadong didn't say anything. He took the phone, tapped a few times, and then several snacks fell out.

"Hmm..." Old Wang smacked his lips.

"I didn't feel anything... I didn't feel anything at all."

Then he saw Liu Jiadong take a bag of snacks out of the vending machine, tear it open, and start eating.

"Ah...this stuff is expired!" Old Wang said. "We can't eat it!"

Liu Jiadong said slowly, "Old Wang, do you know why I came to your company for an interview today?"

"Huh?" Old Wang was momentarily confused, wondering why Liu Jiadong was bringing this up. "Actually, I've been unemployed for many years, and lately, I haven't even had money for food."

"Huh?" Old Wang exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you contribute code to OIFU? Even a top expert like you can lose your job?"

Liu Jiadong shook his head and said, "I went hungry for two days straight the other day. You know what it feels like to not eat for two days, right? It's really unbearable."

"I finally found a bag of expired instant noodles. I don't know who left it. Maybe it was the previous tenant of my rented house. After eating it, I was even hungrier."

Liu Jiadong said, "At that time, I felt like I might not be able to go on. I thought about a lot of things, including things I shouldn't have thought about, you know."

Liu Jiadong sighed: "Then someone in the group sent me a piece of software."

"It's OIFU, I'm alive again."

"I think I'm already in a terrible situation. I've already fallen to this state, so who could be worse off than me?"

"Later, when I went for a job interview, I met a young man who was in an even worse situation than me."

“At least I still have a place to live. My lease hasn’t expired yet, and I don’t need to pay my utility bills—although that day will come sooner or later, but not today.”

"At least today, I don't have to sleep on the streets."

"But that young man has been wandering the streets for many days, going hungry one meal a day and eating a full meal the next."

“I gave the OIFU to that young man, and he said, ‘I’m a good person, and I’m sure I’ll make a fortune.’”

"Actually, I stopped longing to get rich a long time ago. I thought to myself, I must do something for OIFU..."

"So you provided the code?" Old Wang asked, "and then you succeeded?"

After being given a lot of motivational speeches by Liu Jiadong, Lao Wang felt encouraged.

He regained his fighting spirit.

“No, what I want to say is that I was able to submit the code not because I’m some kind of genius, but because I used to be an employee of Touchpoint Interconnect, and I know a lot of inside information…” Liu Jiadong said, “I brought you here to tell you that this thing contains an electronic barometer that can be used to correct the height, which will solve the floor problem. In addition, the exact location of this thing is also written inside during installation. If you extract it, you won’t need to correct the position at all…”

Old Wang was dumbfounded.

Can you do this?

He felt like he had worked hard all year, only to earn 3000 yuan a month, and then went home and complained to his dad, who then bought him a 200-square-meter house outright...

The new direction filled Lao Wang with fighting spirit.

After returning home, Lao Wang immediately got into the zone and started writing code like crazy.

A few hours later, he submitted the code again.

then……

Almost as soon as he sent it, it was sent back!

"Damn, how was that fast? Did he even look at it?!"

It only took a few minutes from when he submitted the code to when it was rejected.

Got five minutes?
Old Wang felt like he was going crazy.

He's really going to get angry this time.

Even if the previous calibration method was wrong, he has now completely changed the technical approach. He has inside information from Liu Jiadong and has even taken Liu Jiadong's pep talk. If he is forced to back down again, he will kill someone.

I refuse to believe you can find the bugs in my code so quickly!

Then he opened the PR's line-by-line comments.

Densely packed.

"Hehehe, keep pretending, go ahead and pretend."

What kind of big shot is Pingzi? I don't believe it!

Old Wang clicked on one of the messages, and his thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

Then he clicked on the second, the third...

What does it mean to have foresight? What does it mean to grasp the essentials? What does it mean to have a sudden enlightenment? What does it mean to have a moment of clarity? What does it mean to be so impressed that you have to kneel before me?

Each line of the comments was so insightful and profound that it sent chills down Old Wang's spine.

Hirako is terrifyingly powerful!
On the other side, a dog with its tongue sticking out opened the next PR.
