[12/19/15, 8:22:27 PM] Yu Wu: Hello
[12/19/15, 8:22:47 PM] Yu Wu: No problem! Do you have sometime tomorrow?
[12/19/15, 8:26:24 PM] P6: 1:00 pm tomorrow is ok I think
[12/19/15, 8:27:15 PM] Yu Wu: So the same as originally scheduled today?
[12/19/15, 8:28:19 PM] P6: Yes
[12/19/15, 8:28:29 PM] Yu Wu: Ok, chat with you tomorrow!
[12/19/15, 8:28:39 PM] P6: Yep see you soon
[12/19/15, 8:28:41 PM] Yu Wu: bye
[12/20/15, 7:39:06 PM] Yu Wu: Hello P6, chatting in 20min still good?
[12/20/15, 8:01:33 PM] Yu Wu: sorry I meant 2 hours
[12/20/15, 9:59:57 PM] Yu Wu: Hi P6, shall we start?
[12/20/15, 10:03:00 PM] P6: Hi Yu, yes, we can start, but I just have around 30 mins-45 mins for chatting
[12/20/15, 10:03:09 PM] Yu Wu: That’s more than enough, thanks!
[12/20/15, 10:03:21 PM] P6: (y)
[12/20/15, 10:03:37 PM] Yu Wu: So how many years have you been a professional software engineer?
[12/20/15, 10:03:56 PM] P6: Around 5 years :)
[12/20/15, 10:04:21 PM] Yu Wu: I saw that you have two projects awesome-* and awesome-*
[12/20/15, 10:04:26 PM] P6: Yes
[12/20/15, 10:04:53 PM] Yu Wu: What motivated/inspired you to start this type of projects?
[12/20/15, 10:05:30 PM] P6: Ahha, I’m a kind of remote engineer, then I want to create a list for someone tend to like me
[12/20/15, 10:05:53 PM] P6: about product manager list, I just want to save some links for my learning purpose
[12/20/15, 10:06:03 PM] P6: then public for someone if they’re in need
[12/20/15, 10:06:29 PM] Yu Wu: Oh, so many for yourself and for others who might in need, right?
[12/20/15, 10:06:44 PM] P6: Yes, I think
[12/20/15, 10:07:07 PM] Yu Wu: How did you get the idea of indexing resources on GitHub. I mean GitHub is design for hosting software projects rather than this
[12/20/15, 10:07:30 PM] P6: Yeah, when I saw some ‘awesome’ repo
[12/20/15, 10:07:49 PM] Yu Wu: bayandin/awesome-awesomeness this one?
[12/20/15, 10:07:51 PM] P6: I think they’re intelligent when use Git to do that
[12/20/15, 10:07:56 PM] P6: cause we’re engineer
[12/20/15, 10:08:03 PM] P6: Yes, that’s one
[12/20/15, 10:08:21 PM] Yu Wu: Great! So how did you decide the content and the format of your lists?
[12/20/15, 10:09:15 PM] P6: just use markdown, about content, I have a list already in my private notes
[12/20/15, 10:09:20 PM] P6: just copy
[12/20/15, 10:09:29 PM] P6: then add more when I catch new ones
[12/20/15, 10:09:56 PM] Yu Wu: oh, you have the habit of keep the resources, and just put it public so others can see as well?
[12/20/15, 10:10:28 PM] Yu Wu: What are the criteria you used to select/filter the resources?
[12/20/15, 10:10:47 PM] P6: yes
[12/20/15, 10:11:28 PM] P6: mostly frequent update, rich content, useful content
[12/20/15, 10:11:49 PM] Yu Wu: Did you receive suggestions from others either on GitHub or through email?
[12/20/15, 10:12:09 PM] P6: Yes, someone sent Pull request to contribute to repos
[12/20/15, 10:12:46 PM] Yu Wu: Did you check the quality of the resources suggested from others before merging to your own?
[12/20/15, 10:13:40 PM] P6: Of course
[12/20/15, 10:13:46 PM] P6: I check first then merge
[12/20/15, 10:14:06 PM] Yu Wu: Are you familiar all the resources included in the lists?
[12/20/15, 10:14:53 PM] P6: Not sure, just some resources I like
[12/20/15, 10:15:26 PM] Yu Wu: Do you think starting/maintaining the lists helped you a lot?
[12/20/15, 10:16:06 PM] P6: Just help me remember those links :D
[12/20/15, 10:16:24 PM] P6: Easy to retrieve if I forget
[12/20/15, 10:16:38 PM] Yu Wu: So you frequently visit those links induced in the lists?
[12/20/15, 10:17:01 PM] P6: Not totally, just when I’m in need
[12/20/15, 10:17:28 PM] Yu Wu: Got it. So why did you decide to host the lists on GitHub, rather than, say Wikipedia, or in your blog?
[12/20/15, 10:18:24 PM] P6: Because I think it’s better for us, engineer, however, yes, you just give me an idea, why not public on my blog :D
[12/20/15, 10:18:28 PM] P6: Thank you :D
[12/20/15, 10:18:40 PM] Yu Wu: Aha, not at all
[12/20/15, 10:19:18 PM] Yu Wu: Maybe GitHub is a better place for people to collaborate, so hosting on it may attract contribution?
[12/20/15, 10:19:30 PM] P6: exactly
[12/20/15, 10:19:38 PM] P6: that’s what I want
[12/20/15, 10:19:56 PM] P6: Someone can contribute easily
[12/20/15, 10:20:11 PM] Yu Wu: So you certainly are aware of other awesome-* lists
[12/20/15, 10:20:16 PM] Yu Wu: Do you use other lists as well?
[12/20/15, 10:20:27 PM] P6: awesome-ios list
[12/20/15, 10:20:39 PM] Yu Wu: Do you frequently use that list?
[12/20/15, 10:20:39 PM] P6: Many but just when I’m in need, not remember now
[12/20/15, 10:20:47 PM] Yu Wu: Did you find it useful?
[12/20/15, 10:21:05 PM] Yu Wu: Does it help you find what you were in need?
[12/20/15, 10:21:05 PM] P6: of course, easy to find something
[12/20/15, 10:21:10 PM] P6: Yes
[12/20/15, 10:21:32 PM] Yu Wu: How useful it is as comparing to search engines?
[12/20/15, 10:21:38 PM] P6: for example, when I forgot a link, I can go there and seek
[12/20/15, 10:22:06 PM] P6: I’m not sure, but SE we need to browse and try
[12/20/15, 10:22:26 PM] P6: on awesome list, we just see and know what it means, and whether the link we need
[12/20/15, 10:22:54 PM] Yu Wu: Got it. So do you think those lists can help you as a software engineer?
[12/20/15, 10:23:26 PM] P6: Of course, I appreciate the man invent awesome list
[12/20/15, 10:23:40 PM] P6: it’s really great for beginner
[12/20/15, 10:24:06 PM] Yu Wu: Do you mean beginner for a certain area? Because you certainly are not a beginner :)
[12/20/15, 10:24:18 PM] P6: when we start to learn new thing , there are many things, we cannot know what should to spend time on
[12/20/15, 10:24:23 PM] P6: Yes
[12/20/15, 10:24:32 PM] P6: ex, I’m an ios engineer
[12/20/15, 10:24:41 PM] P6: but someday I like to learn Ruby
[12/20/15, 10:24:49 PM] P6: just go awesome-ruby
[12/20/15, 10:25:00 PM] Yu Wu: totally agree!
[12/20/15, 10:25:01 PM] P6: and pick some resourse for beginner
[12/20/15, 10:25:20 PM] P6: Googling not help us like that :v
[12/20/15, 10:25:38 PM] Yu Wu: But do you think GitHub itself might be a barrier for beginner to contribute?
[12/20/15, 10:25:49 PM] Yu Wu: Git is not very easy to grasp
[12/20/15, 10:26:15 PM] P6: I don’t think so, everyone want to get in software should learn Git first
[12/20/15, 10:26:20 PM] P6: No Git, nothing
[12/20/15, 10:26:25 PM] Yu Wu: aha
[12/20/15, 10:26:27 PM] Yu Wu: got it
[12/20/15, 10:26:41 PM] Yu Wu: Did you capture any disadvantage of your current lists? What are those disadvantages?
[12/20/15, 10:27:01 PM] P6: What do you mean by disadvantage?
[12/20/15, 10:27:21 PM] P6: you mean something lack of?
[12/20/15, 10:27:25 PM] Yu Wu: yep
[12/20/15, 10:27:27 PM] Yu Wu: exactly
[12/20/15, 10:27:33 PM] P6: You can see on my remote list
[12/20/15, 10:27:35 PM] Yu Wu: something you wish you can improve
[12/20/15, 10:27:36 PM] P6: Law section
[12/20/15, 10:27:39 PM] P6: there’re nothing
[12/20/15, 10:27:42 PM] Yu Wu: oh
[12/20/15, 10:27:45 PM] P6: I think I should fill it
[12/20/15, 10:28:16 PM] Yu Wu: so you mean as a owner, you wish there is easy way for you to identify/find resources to include in your list?
[12/20/15, 10:28:48 PM] P6: yes
[12/20/15, 10:28:59 PM] P6: Let say
[12/20/15, 10:29:09 PM] P6: there is another remote list
[12/20/15, 10:29:13 PM] P6: lot of stars
[12/20/15, 10:29:15 PM] P6: around 5k or more
[12/20/15, 10:29:43 PM] P6: but I find it that there is lots of resources, then when I look into, I’m scared of
[12/20/15, 10:30:01 PM] Yu Wu: Oh, so too many resources might also be a problem?
[12/20/15, 10:30:03 PM] P6: then I want to create my own list, just something I think useful for most
[12/20/15, 10:30:07 PM] P6: Yes, I think so
[12/20/15, 10:30:09 PM] Yu Wu: got it!
[12/20/15, 10:30:15 PM] Yu Wu: interesting
[12/20/15, 10:30:15 PM] P6: many let us have to decide
[12/20/15, 10:30:44 PM] Yu Wu: Are there any other things you think should be improved?
[12/20/15, 10:30:45 PM] P6: we don’t know what to pick to go first hahaaaa
[12/20/15, 10:31:03 PM] Yu Wu: Actually I intend to address this problem for my dissertation :)
[12/20/15, 10:31:06 PM] Yu Wu: I will keep you posted
[12/20/15, 10:31:27 PM] P6: Improve?
[12/20/15, 10:31:28 PM] P6: Let me think
[12/20/15, 10:31:31 PM] Yu Wu: yep
[12/20/15, 10:32:33 PM] P6: I don’t have many ideas now, but I think we should organize the list smartly, to let people find something fast
[12/20/15, 10:32:41 PM] Yu Wu: I totally agree
[12/20/15, 10:32:43 PM] P6: especially should have a section for beginner
[12/20/15, 10:33:02 PM] P6: they’re really in need but don’t know what to go first
[12/20/15, 10:33:13 PM] Yu Wu: Got it!
[12/20/15, 10:33:29 PM] Yu Wu: Do you think there’s some benefits for you as a owner of those lists?
[12/20/15, 10:33:42 PM] P6: Of course, I will see
[12/20/15, 10:33:52 PM] Yu Wu: what are the benefits?
[12/20/15, 10:34:09 PM] P6: Oops, I think you ask about those ideas I just gave hahaa
[12/20/15, 10:34:12 PM] P6: let me think
[12/20/15, 10:34:19 PM] Yu Wu: haha
[12/20/15, 10:34:45 PM] P6: Not much, just a place to save my links, and a place for others contribute useful resources
[12/20/15, 10:35:03 PM] P6: I’m not sure about others owners
[12/20/15, 10:35:12 PM] Yu Wu: OK, no problem
[12/20/15, 10:35:18 PM] P6: of some lists have thousands stars
[12/20/15, 10:35:29 PM] P6: Mine just around hundreds :))))
[12/20/15, 10:35:40 PM] Yu Wu: but also impressive :)
[12/20/15, 10:35:47 PM] P6: thanks
