GiantVision
何为GiantVision?
GiantVision本意取自蔚为大观，意指盛大壮观，此处引申释义为：以更加远大高拔的视角去审视一切。本站有句箴言为：何不站到巨人的肩膀上？此处援引自艾萨克·牛顿1675 年的一封信：“如果我看得更远，那就是站在巨人的肩膀上。”借此本站想表达的意思非常明确，即：提升自己的能力需要站到巨人的肩膀上，而寻找巨人就是一个需要去实践的过程，相比于自力更生、万事不求人的技术发展理念，本站对此嗤之以鼻，去寻找巨人吧，然后站到巨人的肩膀上放眼世界。
本人为文不求完美，因为追求完美的代价是极其高昂的：过度花费时间精力但收益却不多；但也并非指本站文章粗制滥造，本站对文章写作的追求为：简洁精准、质朴自然。很多时候追求完美会导致为文者思虑过度、推迟下笔或犹豫不决，本站定要避免此种情形发生。有时为文力求随意随心，不去看重华而不实之物。
定位
本站定位为：本人作为一个程序员的技术学习与分享的小站，专注于本人在职业生长过程中的技术学习与实践的经验与思考，更多着眼于技术的落脚点，但也不乏本人的一些其他思考。本人阅读涉猎甚广且热衷于独立思考，故随笔部分的思考或异想天开、天马行空，但我本人认为这反而更为重要，因为它将展示一个个体更为全面的部分，而不值海面上展露的冰山一角。
为何选择博客网站这种形式进行分享呢？
本人尝试过微信公众号、其他内容分发平台，但最终感觉这些方式很受限且不利于内容的沉淀和传播，且微信公众号摒弃了最初的微信号入口的方式改成了信息流的分发方式也对低频、高质量的文章极其不利，信息流分发的形式无疑助长了各种以流量为目的的文章泛滥，这不利于有价值的内容分享传播。与此相反，博客网站的内容发布形式更加定向和专一化，不受制于各种现实规范和平台规则，降低了各种风险，也具有更强的个人色彩。
愿本站对你‘‘开卷有益‘’。
目标
对程序员来说，技术修炼是一个需要持续不懈去追求、打磨精进的立身之本。如何才能持续不断的提升个人技能就成了一个程序员需要面对的最本质和最直接的问题，而对这个问题的思考和实践就是一个程序员的进击之路，这也是本站及本人需要回答、实践去论证的命题。
本站目标是通过本人的分享给读者一个可以参考学习、实践技术、提升认知的指南针+地图工具，让我们一起寻找巨人、借助巨人的视野寻找自己的目标和方向、提升自己认知能力、回应自己命运的召唤。
本站将采用简中、英语双语进行文章内容的编写，这样目的：
- 英语是世界上信息交流的主要媒介语言；
- 本站的起点和终点都不是为了服务单一群体，而是拥抱世界的交流；
- 也在无形中督促本人持续不断地学习和使用英语这门语言；
交流是人类合作协同、个体学习提升的唯一方式，让有价值的信息在交流中畅通无阻，明天会更好。
愿景远大，但要一步一步地去实现，让我们开始吧！
GiantVision
What is GiantVision?
GiantVision originally meant grand and spectacular, but here it means to see everything from a more distant and elevated perspective. This blog has a motto: Why not stand on the shoulders of giants? This is adapted from a 1675 letter by Isaac Newton: “If I see further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” The point this blog is trying to make with this is very clear: to improve your abilities you need to stand on the shoulders of giants. Finding giants is thus a process that needs to be practiced by individuals, and I scoff at technical ideas that emphasise self-reliance and not asking for everything. Look for giants, then stand on their shoulders and look at the world.
I do not seek perfection in my writing, because the price of perfection is extremely high: excessive time and effort but little gain; but it does not mean that the articles on this site are shoddy, the pursuit of writing articles on this site is: simple and precise, simple and natural. Often the pursuit of perfection can lead to overthinking, delaying or hesitating in writing, and this is something we make sure to avoid. Sometimes we try to be casual in our writing, not looking for the flashy and insubstantial.
Positioning
This site is positioned as a small site for me to learn and share technology as a programmer, focusing on my experience and thoughts on technology learning and practice in the process of professional growth, focusing more on the technical footing, but also some of my other thoughts. I read widely and am keen on independent thinking, so the thoughts in the essays may be whimsical and wild, but I personally think this is more important as it will show a more comprehensive part of an individual, rather than the tip of the iceberg on the surface of the sea.
Why did I choose a blog site as a format to share?
I have tried a variety of content distribution platforms, but ultimately feel that the sharing method of these platforms is very limited and not conducive to the precipitation and dissemination of their own content, and these platforms have abandoned the initial subscription method in favour of information flow distribution, which is extremely detrimental to low-frequency, high-quality articles. The distribution of content in streams has certainly contributed to the proliferation of traffic-driven articles, which is not conducive to the sharing and dissemination of valuable content. In contrast, blogs are more targeted and exclusive, not subject to realistic norms and platform rules, which reduces risks and gives a more personal touch to the content.
May the content of this site inspire you.
Objectives
For programmers, technology is a fundamental need to continue to pursue, polish and refine. How to continuously improve personal skills has become the most essential and direct problem that a programmer needs to face, and the thinking and practice of this problem is a programmer’s road to progress, which is also the proposition that this site and I need to answer and practice to argue.
The goal of this site is to give readers a compass + map tool that they can refer to for learning, practicing techniques, and improving their cognition through my sharing, so that together we can search for giants, find our own goals and directions with the vision of giants, improve our cognitive abilities, and answer the call of our destiny.
The content of the articles on this site will be written in both Simplified Chinese and English, and the reasons for this are:
- English is the main language of communication in the world;
- This site is not about serving a single language group, it’s about embracing the world;
- I am urged to learn and use English as a language on an ongoing basis；
Communication is the only way for human beings to cooperate and collaborate and for individuals to learn and improve. Let valuable information flow freely in communication and tomorrow will be better.
A big vision, but one step at a time, so let’s get started!
