On the eve of Spring Festival break

It is my last day in Guangzhou before going home for New Year. I am still trying to find a useful plan for the short break. I do not want to leave it at “have a good rest”; I want time to think about the coming year. Yet the harder I press, the less clearly I see.

When I woke, my thoughts felt renewed. Scrolling X, I could suddenly pick out useful posts from the noise. Then it struck me: I do not lack things to do. I have too many. I want to learn Git and Go, experiment further with Clawdbot until I make something real, understand the differences among Linux, Windows, and macOS, decide which system suits me, work out whether I can afford the AI tokens for more experiments, and solve how to pay for ChatGPT.
