Episode 77 Delusion or Dream
I rolled the mouse wheel.
Program code flows from top to bottom.
Gravity pulls the source code, causing the scroll to fall endlessly to the floor.
‘Because you try to flap your wings before you can even walk.’
.
That’s why it ended up like this.
Oh my. The sigh I let out is spinning around in the stopped time.
I was so full of dreams and hopes that the app crashed.
As second-hand trading services become more and more popular, developers seem to want to show something.
however.
‘I was too greedy.’
Open source is ubiquitous in the environment.
All the latest technologies were included.
“I don’t even know what the problem is.”
It can’t be a server problem in the cloud.
Perhaps the number of users suddenly increased, and at the same time, a bug appeared in the program.
I’ve messed with so many things, I have no idea what the problem is.
“Wow. There’s even a version 1.0 version. This is really courage. Courage.”
I let out an exclamation of admiration without realizing it as I glanced over it.
That’s amazing. That’s amazing. Operating an untested product in a real environment.
With such a dumbfounded expression, he opens a search window on the monitor.
Let alone trying it myself.
There were quite a few product lines whose names were even unfamiliar.
The scope was so large that it was impossible to determine its internal structure.
At least we should know what these things do so we can at least roughly organize them.
With that in mind, I let out a sigh and typed in the search bar.
Warm. Warm.
A room filled with the sound of the keyboard.
The occasional chorus of grumblings about wanting to die rang out.
Instead of time passing, sweat flows.
My eyes are getting dry before I know it.
I close my eyes and open them repeatedly, forcing myself to look at the monitor light.
After searching like that for a long time.
In an instant.
I found something suspicious.
– In-memory database.
A technology that stores data in memory rather than on disk.
To put it simply, you can think of it as storing data in RAM instead of the computer’s hard disk.
As the amount of data increases rapidly, response speed slows down.
Although it is said to be used as an alternative to solve such problems.
However, there were too many technical aspects to worry about, such as query optimization, index creation, parallel processing, etc.
Of course, I also had to have a high level of understanding of databases.
So I’ve only heard about it being used in some places in the US. In a real environment. Especially, this is the first time I’ve seen it being used on such a large scale.
“··· I have some doubts.”
It is actually quite common for difficult products to be improved in the hopes of improving their performance, only to end up with performance problems.
‘Also, this is a very personal thought.’
If the Thai Mint Market kids had tried to handle this with their skills, there’s a very high chance they’d have done something wrong.
But there’s a bigger problem.
I also don’t know much about in-memory databases. I only heard about them while testing similar related products.
After tilting my head for a moment and thinking about it.
I quickly made up my mind and turned the screen.
“Okay. Let’s keep that for now. Let’s look for other things first.”
Enter the name of another product in the search box.
I don’t have time to analyze each one in detail right now.
No. What is analysis?
That’s called analysis.
If you really want to properly determine the cause.
It’s at a level where you have to start studying again from the beginning.
Even if time stands still, when will we build up all these products from the ground up?
I flipped through the screens, roughly checking the products. My stomach started growling, but I ignored it and continued playing the keyboard.
It creates a beautiful harmony by blending with the sounds coming from my stomach.
I’m going out for a bit to eat, and it’s a waste of time to come back.
Since the application is not working right now, I am feeling impatient for no reason.
This is a business that is just about to take off, so if the downtime is prolonged unnecessarily, a negative image may be created first.
Without even a moment to think about it, I continued to type on the keyboard.
We fought like that in front of the monitor for a long time.
I just skimmed through it, but I didn’t see any other issues.
“I guess the only thing I have doubts about is IMDB.”
I took my hands off the keyboard. Searching further was pointless.
There are so many products mixed together that it would take me ages to do a root cause analysis on my own.
Ah, I don’t know. I don’t know. Let me just cool my head down. I thought to myself as I got up from my seat.
Unable to overcome gravity, it stops.
bang.
My body falls naturally onto the bed.
It stuck to me like a magnet.
it’s tough.
“No. I’ve done enough. If it’s not an IMDB issue, I really don’t know anymore.”
The only thing that was suspicious was the in-memory database.
If that doesn’t work, you should just take it down and reboot.
Oh my.
Lie down and stretch out your arms. Spread your body out on the bed and stare blankly at the ceiling.
The air conditioner dried my tired body. As the sweat cooled, my T-shirt began to smell like dried squid.
A strong smell rises to the tip of your nose, ignoring gravity.
Whenever I think that I should just lie down for a bit and then get up right away.
“Drunk. Drunk.”
I couldn’t get up for a while.
**
As soon as I opened my eyes, I opened the door to my sister’s room.
I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Siri.
– In-memory database. Let’s move this back to disk.
-Is there a problem there?
-I’m not sure. But other than this, I have no doubts.
-If I modify the index settings, will it work properly? Can you check it for me?
If you still have any regrets, ask me carefully.
Honestly, I didn’t quite understand it.
There’s no particular reason to increase the reaction speed.
I don’t really understand why you’re so obsessed.
The amount of data is obvious anyway. It’s software for domestic use. Data doesn’t come and go via overseas networks. In addition, the used goods transaction app itself isn’t one that requires an incredible response speed.
I was a little worried.
I was thinking about asking why, but I thought asking again would just make the conversation longer.
– Impossible. I don’t have the confidence to touch that right now. Let’s just keep the application alive for now and come back to it later.
I answered firmly that I couldn’t.
-Okay. Then I’ll run it on the storage disk. But if that doesn’t work… what should I do?
-What. I have to push. That’s the best I can do. I guess I have no choice.
You have to turn it off and on like a computer.
It will take much longer than rebooting your computer, though.
Still, there was no other way.
**
Wow. Okay.
It was about ten minutes later that I was able to connect to the app.
Phew. The moment I was connected, I let out a sigh of relief without realizing it.
Because the downtime was only about ten minutes.
Still, I think they dealt with it quickly.
Anyway, I’m finally starting to feel a little less tense. My mind feels a lot lighter.
But just in case, I kept holding onto my phone.
-Thank you very much. I think it’s been roughly resolved. I always feel this way, but sometimes you seem to think incredibly quickly.
Fortunately, I soon received a call from Sirius informing me that the issue had been resolved.
-You’re a professional repairman. This is basic. But what happened during that time? Why did the number of application users increase so much? Aren’t you going to become rich soon?
As soon as I feel at ease, my reply starts to come out as a joke without me realizing it.
-I was lucky. Recently, second-hand fraud has become a big issue on SNS. I ended up benefiting from it. And it’s not just me who gets rich, we get rich together. You have a stake too. Don’t forget. We’re already in the same boat.
A half-joking answer. Siriu’s tension seems to have eased as well.
-Anyway, that’s fortunate. I was worried about you guys a lot. I’m really glad that you responded faster than I expected. If we do really well, we can expand the market. From Thailand to Laos or Cambodia. Even as far as Vietnam and Indonesia.
-No. It won’t end there.
-huh?
-It’s not just ASEAN. It starts from ASEAN.
“···”
He’s really crazy. I couldn’t help but laugh at Siriu’s words.
It’s just that the size of the dreams is different.
I suddenly wonder if this is the difference in mindset between businessmen and engineers.
A Thai software startup is looking to go global.
There are already several second-hand trading apps in Korea. There are certainly some in China, Japan, and the US. In other advanced European countries, there are also companies that have already taken over the market.
There was no way that Siriu, the representative of that market, would not know about it, which I also vaguely knew.
therefore.
It’s a completely unrealistic dream.
Frankly, that’s nonsense.
Sirius’s dream bordering on delusion.
With the intention of supporting Siriu’s delusions.
-Right. Please don’t say you’re introducing some weird new technology. Just do the basics. Just the basics. Please.
As a mere technician, I’d like to give you some sincere advice.
**
And solve the Mint Market problem.
Just that weekend.
Another annoying thing happened.
I was trying to live a truly lazy life for a while, but the world wouldn’t leave me alone.
This representative’s office.
It’s a very uncomfortable seat.
I glanced between Director Chun and CEO Lee.
I just sit on the sofa, feeling stupid, and pray that time passes quickly.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Cheon Dong-jin.”
“Hello. This is Jinwoo Lee, CEO of Ive.”
The laughter between the two of them is strangely similar.
They are just a bunch of snakes.
A group of gentlemen who are very bad at dealing with people.
“Do you both want coffee?”
“thank you.”
As Director Chun and I nodded, Representative Lee stood up.
While the representative was pouring coffee.
A very short time.
Silence fell in the office.
I poured out my complaints to myself in silence.
‘I’m meeting with Director Chun, why did you call me too?’
I regret it.
No, you have nothing to regret.
If I had known that Director Chun was coming, I never would have come.
Since you didn’t tell me, I’m here.
Anyway, I don’t know what’s on his mind.
Director Cheon or CEO Lee.
Personally, they are not people I feel comfortable with.
Two whales that look alike.
I got stuck between those whales.
I wonder if my back will burst and become shrimp paste.
I picked up my coffee cup, thinking that I just wanted to go home.
I’d rather have a fight with a computer than feel better.
I thought I was confident in dealing with people.
At least at the working level.
For people who hide their true feelings and whose main job is to persuade others with words.
I was no match for him verbally.
so.
Today I have to step back and listen to the conversation between the two people.
I should try to speak as sparingly as possible.
I thought about it like that and made up my mind.
suddenly.
Representative Lee’s voice was heard from the other side.
“Then what do you think, Youngjun?
“Yes. What?”
“···”
I looked back and forth between them with a dumbfounded expression.
Instead of saying, “I didn’t hear you, so please say it again.”
I just answered with my expression instead.
