I am weak and friendly

On Thursday afternoon, Linghai Technology.

Ze Ge ran the test data one last time at his workstation.

The "logistics scheduling module" in front of us showed almost no delay, and the system provided the optimal scheduling route.

Even with such a massive dataset, the data provided by the system seemed to have undergone no calculations whatsoever; it simply spat out the results.

Ke Zege knew that all the test data had been verified by her, and the output results were completely correct. She had even specifically verified the output results using other similar software.

The same dataset was validated, which didn't take too long either; it only took about half an hour.

Compared to other similar software, this "logistics scheduling module" is two orders of magnitude more efficient.

"Is this... a success?" Bao Ge asked, standing behind her.

"It's done." Ze Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

No, it didn't just work, it fucking exploded!
All similar software in the world would have to kneel down and call Tang Yiping "grandpa" in comparison to the module Tang Yiping submitted to her.

That's right, what she's testing right now is the logistics scheduling module of the reconstructed logistics management system that Tang Yiping just submitted to her.

"It's really well written..." Next to him, Gao Yuxiang was also helping Ze Ge verify some of Tang Yiping's code. He was in charge of the static testing part.

He exclaimed, "His technical skills have improved so quickly. Just a couple of days ago, when I watched him write code, it looked terrible... Now, his code already has the feel of a seasoned programmer... But where did he learn this code from? It feels like he's gone astray."

Ze Ge strongly agrees with this.

Indeed, Tang Yiping's code is very much like that of an experienced programmer, and in many places, it is filled with some of the bad habits of an experienced programmer.

Randomly chosen variable names, global variables everywhere, unclear comments, and a mess in many places...

Moreover, there is absolutely no trace of struggle or desire for change; it has a prematurely aged feel and lacks the vigor of young people writing code.

No, it also has vitality.

It's riddled with bugs, yet it never crashes, and it's incredibly efficient.

This is not something just any programmer can write.

What kind of writing is this?!

To be honest, even Brother Ze wouldn't understand this kind of unconventional writing style, which completely transcends modern programming standards, let alone Gao Yuxiang.

But just as Gao Yuxiang said to Ze Ge back then.

"I could understand it all, but I was deeply shocked."

Ze Ge, being slightly more technically skilled, attempted to fully analyze and trace a bug, spending approximately two hours before finally finding the cause. This bug bypassed the overall logic, performing a remarkable "virtual wire" that directly connected two functions that would normally require multiple translations, resulting in an order-of-magnitude reduction in overall latency.

What kind of bug is this? This is a new mechanism!
Ze Ge believes that this kind of bug is something that a person can probably only write once in their lifetime. It is a completely new mechanism that can create a new school of thought or even go down in history. It is the kind of bug that can be written into the programming textbook of this type, adding another solution.

However, such bugs are commonplace in Tang Yiping's code.

Is this the capriciousness of a genius programmer?

Is this talent?

"We can proceed with integration testing now," Ze said to Bao. "After the integration testing is complete, our refactoring..."

That means it's almost finished.

Of course, there are still many features that need to be improved, but it is already running.

It can be delivered to the customer as a system, and then modified as it is used.

"So fast?!" Bao Ge's eyes widened.

"The main problem is that Pingzi wrote the logistics scheduling module too quickly; it's the most complex part," Zege said.

In fact, the part she was responsible for was also very complex, no less so than the part Tang Yiping was responsible for. However, in Ze Ge's opinion, the completion of her module was not as good as Tang Yiping's at all.

She simply wrote a perfectly normal module that didn't have any problems.

Tang Yiping's module can be considered the core competitiveness of the entire system.

"The efficiency is too high," Gao Yuxiang exclaimed.

As the company's efficiency king, Gao Yuxiang felt astonished.

The reconstruction took less than two weeks. During those two weeks, Tang Yiping was clearly inconsistent in his work, and it is said that he even spent several days in the hospital on weekends.

"I heard from Brother Ban that he also wrote some other program, like his own project." Gao Yuxiang asked Brother Bao, "Brother Bao, can we keep Pingzi? Can you pay him a higher salary? Or a long-term partnership would be fine too, don't let him leave..."

Bao Ge said with a wry smile, "I also want to keep him here! I'd like to talk to him... but with a company like ours, we're lucky if we can keep him for even one summer."

“Yeah, if we keep them here, we'll be hurting them!” Gao Yuxiang shook his head. “Only top-tier companies can afford to hire programmers like this.”

I'm a little unhappy with what you're saying, okay?
Where does Linghai Technology fall short?
However, that's not what he's most concerned about right now.

"If the integration tests pass, our crisis will be over..."

"Even if we get through it safely," Ze Ge said.

Very good!
Bao Ge let out a long sigh and leaned back against his workstation.

What kind of life has he been living for all this time?!

"Come on, let's get the integration testing going. Their code has all been submitted," Gao Yuxiang said to Ze Ge, rubbing his fists excitedly.

On the other side, Tang Yiping was also observing the situation.

He really wanted to go and take a look, but he felt it wasn't appropriate, since it was a matter of evaluating and assessing his work, and he needed to avoid it.

After a while, he saw that Brother Ze, Brother Bao and the others were laughing, which meant that the result was good.

Bao Ge glanced in his direction, smiled, and nodded, implying that his module was performing very well.
Is that what you mean?

But after a while, he saw that the air pressure over there suddenly dropped again, Ze Ge lost his smile, and Bao Ge's face suddenly turned pale.

He couldn't help but worry and steered his wheelchair over, asking, "Brother Ze, Brother Bao, Brother Xiang, what happened?"

“Pingzi, your module is very well written. I have already verified it,” Ze Ge said to him.

"But why do you all have those expressions?" Tang Yiping asked.

"That bug is back again," Ze said.

Tang Yiping: "???? Didn't we already reconstruct it?"

"Yes."

"Is there still a bug?"

"Yes."

"We just can't find the reason no matter what?"

"Yes."

"Can I take a look?" Tang Yiping asked.

Ze Ge made way for Tang Yiping's wheelchair.

Several people looked at him with expectant eyes.

"The program just crashed. Theoretically, it should be this code that caused the problem, but I can't find the issue no matter what I do..." Ze Ge said.

"Let me see..." Tang Yiping glanced over and immediately spotted the problem.

if order.Status == "Delivered."{
Tang Yiping pointed to a piece of code: "Is there an extra dot in 'Delivered.' here?"

Ze Ge's eyes widened suddenly: "Really! How come there's an extra dot here? I checked it several times just now, how come I didn't find it?"

"I didn't see it either!"

"Is that the reason?" Tang Yiping glanced back at Ze Ge, then looked back at the screen.

The screen displays: if order.Status == "Delivered"{
That spot is gone.

"What's going on?" Tang Yiping shifted his gaze and suddenly noticed an extra dot in another line of code.

The screen displays: order.DeliveryDate = time.Now().Add(2 * time.H.our)...

What the hell is this "time.H.our"...?

For some reason, Tang Yiping suddenly felt that the two periods next to the H were like two tiny eyes, secretly watching him.

His hair stood on end.

　There are still 6,000 words left. I'll sort out the plot and update tonight.
