Time Travel: 2014

What needs to be distinguished here is the payment of US dollars and the simple circulation of US dollars.

If the US dollar is used as a payment currency for settlement during normal transactions, there will definitely be less obstacles (except for cross-border futures transactions and other highly financial transactions).

Even in the next few years, it will be no problem to pay directly in RMB when purchasing some overseas games.

But if it is purely about circulation transfer, there are many obstacles.

The reason for this high probability is to limit the outflow of funds.

This is a good thing, as it can prevent some crooked forces from using the liquidity of funds to cause trouble.

But here's the trouble.

Lin Hui is about to go abroad, and there are many things that need to be done abroad.

After all, it is inconvenient to go out and want to do things without money.

In this case, Lin Hui planned to directly open an overseas account to collect the funds obtained from the recent two very large contracts.

It can save you some trouble of transferring funds.

As for handling overseas accounts, there is no problem, although different countries have different beliefs.

But the belief in the God of Wealth is common.

No one would turn away Lin Hui, the God of Wealth.

…

Unknowingly, the time has arrived at 10pm on the 24th.

Lin Hui decided to take a rest. Before that, Lin Hui thought he would reply to the email.

This has become Lin Hui's routine before going to bed.

I received a lot of emails in my mailbox, but Lin Hui was immediately attracted by an avatar with a unique yet extremely familiar style.

White cat on black?

(ps:...the statement here is based on the classic image of the website. In fact, I have forgotten what GitHub’s email avatar looked like in 2014)

Email from GitHub?

Lin Hui was not surprised that GitHub knew Lin Hui's email address.

After all, Lin Hui has reserved email addresses in many places under different identities.

GitHub is a hosting platform for open source and private software projects.

Because it only supports Git as the only repository format for hosting, it is named GitHub.

Simply put, GitHub is a source code version management tool.

It is also the world's largest code storage website and open source community.

GitHub as a website.

Because there are a large number of programmers on it, it was even once called the largest gay dating website in the world...

This statement is slightly biased, but in any case GitHub is also a good platform for work, learning and communication.

When Lin Hui came to this space-time development project and had no inspiration, he still wanted to go to GitHub to read the speeches of the big guys to find inspiration for the project.

However, I accidentally learned that GitHub would be suspended for a period of time after the website upgrade suffered a DNS hijack.

Lin Hui was still very sorry at that time.

Now GitHub actually sent Lin Hui another email.

Could it be that in this time and space, GitHub has finally returned to normal operations?

I clicked on the email and saw that it was true.

It turns out that GitHub will officially resume operations at 22:30 BJ time on the 24th.

This is certainly a good thing.

A world where GitHub is shut down will be somewhat unfamiliar to a practitioner like Lin Hui who is obsessed with technology.

This email also called GRAY FOREST one of the fastest growing technicians in the world in the past six months.

The email was full of praise for Lin Hui and urged Lin Hui to register an account and verify it. If Lin Hui

If Lin Hui does not come to the GitHub family, it will be a loss for GitHub...

The letter was signed by Tom Preston Warner, and Lin Hui remembered that this person was the president of GitHub.

Is it okay if the president personally sends the registration invitation and certification invitation?

I used to think about going up there to watch the big boss speak, but now I see that the big boss is actually me.

Because of some habits in his previous life, Lin Hui has a pretty good impression of GitHub.

Moreover, the two projects "Life Restart Simulator" and "2048" are inextricably linked to the website GitHub in the previous life when my career started in this life.

In this case, it is naturally no problem to register an account and authenticate it.

Lin Hui responded to GitHub’s invitation.

Lin Hui then responded to some other emails.

When the time came to 22:30, Lin Hui logged into GitHub on time.

Lin Hui saw the two sentences that were once very familiar:

"Welcome to GitHub!"

"Let's start a fantastic adventure!"

For a moment, Lin Hui felt like he was out of place in time and space, wondering when he could buy GitHub.

It’s not about profit, it’s just about love.

However, Lin Hui seems to be unable to afford it at present.

Lin Hui remembered that Microsoft bought Maomao.com in 2018 for about US$7.5 billion in stock.

In this way, Lin Hui can also start a company and increase the company's valuation.

In this way, there is no need to use cash in many cases, and you can directly use stocks.

This can greatly reduce dependence on cash flow.

Lin Hui registered an account on GitHub and completed the corresponding certification.

As for the certification content, Lin Hui’s most familiar vest “GRAY FOREST” is naturally used.

Of course, it’s just a matter of completing the certification.

Lin Hui did not write additional words such as "Developing "Life Restart Simulator", "2048", etc. as he did before on Weibo and Twitter.

These things that have been developed may have helped Lin Hui a lot.

But these are things of the past.

Despite this, Lin Hui still uploaded "2048", which was previously open sourced on the "Open Source Asia/Asia" website, on GitHub.

The open source agreement is still the GPL open source agreement.

As for the open source of other projects, perhaps "Life Restart Simulator" and "FLAPPYBIRD" can be open sourced over time.

But there is no need to do this in the short term.

Not long after he open sourced the code of "2048", Lin Hui received many stars (stars, similar to likes, a mechanism on GitHub) and many comments.

Lin Hui saw a comment saying:

"Huishen, you've come to Maomao Station too..."

Lin Hui really didn't expect that he actually had followers on GitHub.

It was already late at night, but someone actually noticed what he uploaded.

It seems that many things have changed quietly without realizing it.

Someone else also claimed that "Lin Hui writes code as elegant as poetry."

Uh, it's just a 2048 code.

Don’t they all say that colleagues are enemies?

Lin Hui was a little embarrassed for a while because he was praising it so hard.

Soon Lin Hui discovered that he had gained thousands of stars and hundreds of followers.

The latter is even closer to a thousand.

This is outrageous and different from the people on Weibo.

The people on GitHub are basically technical personnel or related personnel.

Lin Hui had never expected to be so popular among professionals.

It’s not that hard to understand that tens of millions of dollars can easily come from a few humble projects that can be tinkered with by just any undergraduate.

Which technician wouldn't dream of this?

Despite this, Lin Hui was not too intoxicated.

After staying for a short while, Lin Hui was ready to log off from GitHub.

Just when he was about to go offline, Lin Hui received a prompt from GitHub.

Lin Hui was prompted to bind a bank account.
