Chapter 311 OIFU Infinite, Unlocking Infinite Possibilities!

On the 41st floor of Qihang Building, Qian Haoran opened Tang Yiping's latest version of OIFU.

Although he looked down on Tang Yiping's OIFU, considering it "useless" software, and completely disagreed with Tang Yiping's "anchor point" and "pullback" theories, thinking that Shen Hong and Gao Ming's inclusion of it in the report was utter nonsense, he was still taken aback when he saw the name of this release version.

"OIFU V2.0: Infinite - Open Infinite Frontiers for U".

Wow, a toad yawning, what a boastful tone!

Putting everything else aside, Qian Haoran was utterly impressed by Tang Yiping's ability to name his software.

What's with all this talk about "Open it for you" and "Open it for us"? It's all a double entendre and stuff.

Now it's even more impressive, with another one: Open Infinite Frontiers for U.

Qian Haoran felt that he had written so many software programs, but the combined names of all of them were not as arrogant as the name of Tang Yiping's software.

Otherwise, how could Tang be considered a celebrity developer? The number of stars he received with OIFU might be more than he could ever achieve in his entire life...

Qian Haoran thought sourly.

No developer would not want to be the maintainer of a large open-source project with hundreds of thousands of stars.

Yes, OIFU's V2.0 version codename is "Infinite," and the arrogance of this name undoubtedly made Qian Haoran envious.

He was eager to see what functions this software had.

Then I saw the following text:

"Attention! Highly recommended to update! Heavy rain is coming! New shelter feature unlocked! Please update immediately! (See point 3 of the update notes for details, or you can skip it and just update! Follow the little carrot that appears on the screen!)"

Tsk, that’s it?

And it even threatens users to update?
What does it mean to activate the shelter feature?

Also check point four of the instructions?

In Qian Haoran's mind, those clickbait headlines flashed by: "Ten Reasons Why XXX Is So Tough, Number Nine Is the Most Unbearable..."

What's with all this talk about being tough or not? It's just a ploy to trick you into clicking and watching ads.

Who would have thought that software updates could be done using such methods?
With this in mind, Qian Haoran continued reading.

"This update includes: 1. Partial restructuring of the underlying layer of OIFU, and the introduction of the 'OIFU Infinite-Extend Framework' (OIFU-IEF) and the 'OIFU Infinite-Publishing Framework' (OIFU-IPF). OIFU has officially entered the era of modularity, plug-inization, and systematization."

Qian Haoran was a little confused after reading the first explanation.

No, what do you need modularization, plug-inization, and systematization for a small program that opens the door of a vending machine and steals food from it? What do you need for extensions?
Do you think you're WeChat?

He continued reading; below was a detailed explanation of these two functions:
"2. OIFU-IEF opens up OIFU's plugins and extension functions to developers. This function is still under continuous improvement. Please refer to the development documentation for details. As an example, this update also released two plugins: 'Touchpoint Internet Point' and 'ROBO-FU Companion'. Most feature updates in future versions will be implemented in the form of plugins, which can be loaded as needed."

Upon seeing this, he stopped reading and immediately opened the development documentation.

I saw a whole bunch of things inside, such as entity contracts, channel protocols, event-driven plugin models, sandboxes, and access control...

And then... I was a little dumbfounded.

No, this must be a joke, right?
You wrote such a comprehensive development document for such a small, simple program?
And are you sure you'll actually use these things in such a crappy program?

Qian Haoran is the leader of Group 2 of the Technical Team 2. Most of the time, his group provides technical support to other teams, such as developing "specialized tools", "research tools", "verification tools", etc. It is a completely object-oriented development, and they have to act as the service provider for other teams every day.

Whether it's the action team or the research team, the demands they raise are varied and diverse, and they all need to be met by the technical team.

It's so annoying!

Moreover, many of the requirements are quite bizarre, and each time we have to reinvent the wheel for their bizarre requirements. In fact, Qian Haoran himself has always wanted to create his own extended framework, but this is not easy and the workload is enormous.

Now, seeing that Tang Yiping actually gave him such a small, broken program, and even made an extension framework for it, he's fine, but one of his friends is a little worried.

I don't believe you. You must only be good at writing nice documents.

Thinking this, he was too lazy to read the rest, so he forked a copy, pulled it to his local machine, and opened the project. Let me see just how much you brag. Even if you can achieve even a tenth of what you wrote, I'll still consider you amazing…

then……

Looking at the well-organized modular directory structure and the clear and easy-to-use developer SDK, he realized that forking this project was definitely a mistake.

Not only did he fail to prove his ideas, but he was also proven wrong, and slapped hard.

Your slap was deafening.

So strong, really strong.

How can Tang be so strong?
Actually, looking at the code alone, Tang Yiping's code is not particularly impressive; at most, it is just neat and tidy.

Qian Haoran can write every single line of code.

He can even write with his eyes closed, and he can write from morning till night.

but……

This framework is amazing!

As Qian Haoran looked at the project documents on the screen, he felt as if a small hand was reaching out from the depths of his heart.

Hmm... I want to copy it.

I really want to copy it.

I'm so desperate to copy it!

Wait a minute, how can open source be called copying?

Right.

I'm just forking it; it's an open-source project, right?

Thanks for open source.

Thank you, Source God.

Thank you... Tang.

Qian Haoran, the leader of Group 2 of the Technical Team 2 of the Coordination Office, who is also known as the strongest programmer in the Technical Team 2 (self-proclaimed), the most handsome man in the Technical Team 2 (self-proclaimed), and the man in the Technical Team who is best at backroom deals (generally acknowledged), lasted less than ten seconds in the second paragraph of the update notes for OIFU V2.0.

killed.

At the same time, Brother Wang and Sun Jiadong also saw this place.

"Holy crap, it's been refactored?"

"They just refactored it like that?"

"I want to see……"

"Don't look yet!"

The two more experienced individuals resisted the urge to open the development documentation and go straight to the code, and instead read the next line, the third instruction.

"3. Plugin Description *Important*: (1) The 'Touchpoint Internet Point' plugin marks the location of all 'Touchpoint Internet Community Service Points' in Hailing City on the map, which can be used for refuge, overnight stay, temporary rest and charging, etc. For the convenience of others, please keep it clean. (This plugin also demonstrates the development and use of resource point plugins.) (2) 'ROBO-FU Companion': Little radish! Although there is only one. Add a small robot driven by ROBO-FU to your OIFU as your companion. It can do many things for you. Remember to refer to its opinions. Currently, it can take you to the nearest Touchpoint Internet Community Service Station. (This plugin also demonstrates the development and use of information access and collaboration plugins.)"
In layman's terms, this update adds two new features to OIFU in the form of a plugin. One of them is to mark all Touchpoint Interconnected Community Service Stations, and the other is to introduce the Little Carrot into OIFU.

This is the second collaboration between OIFU and Little Carrot, since the last time OIFU restocked and you could earn points.

This time, OIFU directly brought back a little radish from Robo-FU.

Although, there is only one.
