[00:14] Hey, everybody! This is Xi Xiao. This is yet a new episode of Salesforce Way podcast. This is a special episode because the content is not in audio format; it's in video format, and it's a screencast that I've been doing with the guest Suraj Pillai, who was also in this show two episodes in the past. And the reason to do this is because the topic is a local environment setup for Salesforce. And Suraj uses Neo Vim, uses SF DX, PMD, Salesforce Language Server in a combination to fulfill this requirement to set up his local development. I found that very fascinating, and and this video is about one hour time, so he goes through everything, and then you get the chance to to see how demonstrates. In the Visual Eight format, and I definitely have learned a lot about it. So, if you are also interested in this topic, Click the link on the show notes, and then go to YouTube to spend your time. And there's a timestamp on the video as well if you are only interested in some subtopics. So that's the introduction for this episode, and if you are interested in what I have been doing in the recent one year or two, then I will just take this chance to really give a short update about what I've been up to
[01:44] in the recent times. Okay, if you are listening to this podcast for a while, you know that I have been on purpose slowing down the content producing pace. Yes, so that's that's what I did on purpose because. I don't know. For you, for me, is that every year at the beginning of the year, I will create the list of the items that I want to do. Not too many, maybe four to five items. That I will carry out in the entire year, and actually I will put that paper on the wall of my living room. So each night, when I don't know what to do, then I will look at the list and then pick up items from from that list. So if I now turn my head, I can see that. That list, and I will just quickly go through. The first item is to learn programming languages. So I have been studying a bit of Ethereum crypto language, and also I will spend some time to pick up the Rust language. I found Rust is very interesting topic for me. That's the first thing. The second thing is to learn Finnish language. In you know, I've been living in Finland for quite a long while, but the the Finnish language, I still need to catch it up more. So that's something I also want to do. The third item is doing videos. So I start to
[03:14] producing vlog videos. I found it fascinating to talk in front of camera to record to your daily, and also. This format is mainly in Chinese language. I want to share my life snippet to people in China, my relatives, my friends, and I found that's really fascinating for me to to learn produce some videos, and I will put actually one or two videos that I used. The English language in the show notes of this episode, just in case you want to see how how how bad my vlog content have been creating. And the last one, the fourth one, let's say the fourth item in the list is sports. Back in the school time when I was was young, I do a lot of sports. And but after I start to to work, then I took a really long break, like almost ten years. I don't do much sports. I think that wasn't good. And I about two years ago, I picked sports up again. I go to gym, lost some weight. And start running, and I subscribe to a half marathon running next month. So something like that, you know, definitely keep my shape better. And the fifth item is audio content. You know, it's still in the list, but it's not ranking really high. So that's the reason I slowed down
[04:45] the, the podcast content. And but it doesn't mean I'll discontinue this podcast. I definitely will continue doing this, but only when I found really good guests, or there are people recommending me really good guests, then I will start engaging and produce content. So. Ah, that's. I think that's all I want to give the update. So, in a nutshell, you can see that I still seeking to do different stuffs in my life, and I'm very happy. I'm I'm I'm very content with what I'm doing now, and the future looking forward. Oh, by the way, in the recent one two months, I've been changing my working company. So I shifted from doing a hundred percent Salesforce stuff in my work to sixty percent. Maybe nowadays I get the chance to touch things outside of Salesforce. Still in the enterprise world, like Kafka, like use Rust to use Java to do different other stuff. So I think it's it's something matching really my career goal, and I'm also really happy with with the work I'm I'm currently doing. Okay, so that's all I want to give an update. So thanks for listening to this short episode, and then definitely jump to the screencast on the YouTube to get the best out of that from
[06:15] Suraj's brain. So thanks for listening and take care and peace out.
