Time Travel: 2014

After seeing the corresponding notification, Lin Hui discovered that someone actually tipped his open source project, although each tip was not too much.

But the bits and pieces added up to thousands of dollars.

It’s not surprising that someone on GitHub tipped Lin Hui.

The income of code farmers is reasonable, and when they see excellent code, they will not be stingy and appreciate it.

What Lin Hui is curious about is why this reward mechanism appeared in 2014?

In the previous life, users on GitHub could indeed tip other developers who provided open source projects.

And for a period of time, this reward even belongs to the developer 100%.

However, Lin Hui remembered that this seemed to have only started in 2019.

Could this time and space be advanced?

It’s not that hard to understand though, and honestly it’s a good rule.

After all, open source parties cannot always use love to generate electricity.

Proper appreciation can make these open source programmers survive better.

As for reminding Lin Hui to bind his card, it was only a few thousand dollars.

Lin Hui's income from online writing is just a few hundred thousand dollars from casual writing.

Lin Hui doesn't particularly care about the few thousand dollars.

It seems that there is no need to tie the card, let's put it inside first.

Immediately Lin Hui went offline.

Suddenly, it was close to midnight.

Looking back on the day of the 24th, Lin Hui undoubtedly gained a lot.

How do you feel after harvesting?

The feeling of joy is certainly positive, but it is not necessarily all joy.

Although he was happy, he didn't know why Lin Hui always felt a little uneasy.

A more accurate description of this uneasiness would be "a feeling of emptiness in my heart."

Why do you have this feeling of emptiness in your heart?

Forgot to do something?

Or is this the legendary drawing of a sword and looking around in confusion?

The night was already deep, Lin Hui was lying on the bed, thinking quietly.

After a long time, Lin Hui knew the answer.

Lin Hui felt that the reason why he felt empty in his heart was not because of a guilty conscience.

It's because I was too busy some time ago, but now I'm suddenly free.

Anyone who has been busy for a while and suddenly becomes free may have a similar feeling.

Some time ago, the development or operation of Nanfeng APP, Quick Command APP and "HILL CLIMB RACING" almost occupied Lin Hui's daily life.

Now the shortcut command APP and "HILL CLIMB RACING" are basically in place.

Although no formal contract has been signed regarding the transfer of these two softwares, only a letter of intent has been signed.

But according to Lin Hui’s understanding, even if it is just a letter of intent in this time and space, the breach rate is very low.

As for the signing of the formal contract, it actually does not involve too much energy from Lin Hui.

Lin Hui only needs to contact the corresponding legal team step by step.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

When the time comes to review the contract, legal affairs will be responsible.

After verifying that there was no problem with the contract, all Lin Hui had to do was sign it and perform according to the agreement.

The next thing is to wait for the money.

Under this situation, Lin Hui couldn't help but relax a little.

Although Nanfeng APP still needs Lin Hui to operate.

But this software does not consume too much energy from Lin Hui.

And the number of downloads of this software is not too large (ps:...compared to previous games)

What's more, Lin Hui only needs to serve the users who buy the professional mode well.

Being suddenly free made Lin Hui somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Lin Hui is not a person who can live in idleness, nor is he someone who is content with the status quo.

Lin Hui couldn't help but think about where to go from now on?

There are many paths in front of Lin Hui, but human energy is limited, so he can only be cautious about his future choices.

Previously, Lin Hui was most involved in the gaming industry.

In the foreseeable period of time, Lin Hui is unwilling to let go of the gaming industry.

After all, it’s so easy to make money from games.

In the short term, what Lin Hui wants to do is still mobile games.

In terms of mobile games, if it can be confirmed that the game "Boom Island" has not been developed in the time and space of Super/Super/Cell/Cell.

Then Lin Hui can definitely play this game.

After all, "Boom Island" was a game with a profit of nearly one billion US dollars in its previous life.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a cash cow?

Even big factories such as goose factories and pig farms would find it difficult to say "no" to this kind of game.

Creating a cash cow like "Boom Island" will greatly help Lin Hui's career.

Isn’t gaming considered a career? Doesn’t count.

Although there is money to be made in gaming, it is still a niche.

A country can live without game developers.

But we cannot do without some companies that lay out Internet infrastructure.

Of course, in fact, the most noble Internet infrastructure in Lin Hui's mind is nothing.

The most noble ones are only things related to the national economy and people's livelihood and things related to energy/materials/biology.

But Lin Hui doesn't need to worry about the national economy and people's livelihood.

When it comes to things like energy, materials, and biology, it's even more outrageous.

Even if Lin Hui wanted to worry about these areas in a short period of time, he would be unable to do so.

I really want to make a difference in these areas, but the advantage of seven years may not be enough.

The advantage of fifteen years can be improved.

And want to gain things like social status.

Relying solely on game development is probably a fool’s errand.

In addition, if you are always immersed in developing games, you will probably get scolded sooner or later.

Let’s take a closer look at how few people in the world develop games without getting scolded.

Just because you haven't been scolded for a while doesn't mean you will never be scolded.

Lin Hui didn't want to be scolded.

Some of the things Lin Hui will do in the future require a good reputation.

This is not about hypocrisy. Just imagine what if one day mht claimed to be an operating system.

In the hearts of the general public, what kind of magic is os?

In short, Lin Hui felt that he needed a good reputation.

To put it bluntly, even if you don't have a good reputation, at least you can't have a bad reputation.

Even if "Boom Island" is developed in the future, the most ideal monetization method is similar to the shortcut command APP.

Directly providing solutions to platforms or game developers, or directly providing finished products to Yohoo developers, is another way to make games.

Games developed in this way do not need to face players after they are launched online.

You can earn a lot of quick money at the same time.

It can be said that it perfectly meets Lin Hui’s needs.

In addition to providing solutions, game engines are also available.

How to get started can be determined from the engine plug-in.

Or get in by acquiring some game engines.

Involves next step plan.

Lin Hui has previously considered many directions such as fuchsia OS, blockchain, face recognition, and artificial intelligence.

Behind each of these is a trillion-level market.

Only children make choices, adults all do.

There is a high probability that Lin Hui will get involved in these directions.
