Qin Xianfeng's KPI is to build a perfectly functioning virtual world, and the homework assigned by his wife Song Qiaoyao is to calculate the amount of water in their home's "Happiness Pool".
He is the technical master of the game company, and code is his scepter. In order to provide a stable world for millions of players, he had to mark his son's Lego time and parents' parent-child activities as "deferrable tasks."
Until the system he designed by himself began to ruthlessly optimize all the "noise" of human nature; until he discovered that his son had used what he regarded as "inefficient" Lego to build a city-state that was more vivid than his code.
When sophisticated algorithms hit an unsolvable life, this "chief water pipe engineer" finally began to write a brand-new code for his life: allowing bugs, accepting accidents, and found in his son's graffiti a balanced algorithm that is more elegant than any program.
This is a rhapsody dedicated to all those who are struggling between 996 and milk powder money. It is about how we protect those "useless" but precious offline time in a world that pursues the "optimal solution".
