It’s been a week more from my bike ride, total 400KM from Shanghai to Mogan Mount, it was a journey I always look for, to ride far away, then take back a filtered me. I give this activity a verb purify and I know I need this to fill my human heart, for at end of each day I’m not the machine I work on, I’m the human, broken and flawed, emotional… but all happened just is true, then is beautiful.

Long distance provided me a perfect isolated movable space, lonely when cycled in the darkness, fear when I have no battery but still 30KM far from my destination (hotel), uncertain when most streets in Mogan Shan town have no street lights, so I need to bike towards but have not sure if I’m biking in a right direction and how far still… Started setoff at 5AM, so when 8PM I was cycling in a remote mountain surrounded town, I was hungry. (Cycling to return back is way more smooth.)

However it was time to generate memory, similar to assist teaching DS this summer, two students are inspired me (their hard works and curiosities).

Work on progress

So in this September, I make an decision to create myself a data engineering course, I have made a checklist. I have asked one virtual friend I trust (whose encouragement and advice notes helped me a lot last year when I started DL journey), he mentioned Airflow and Kafka for automating workflow and streaming processing. So some work used these tools I will write on next post.
