从2007年3月1日来到北京，我已经在北京生活了三年两个月，1157天。

2010年5月1日这天，我要去深圳了，一个没有冬天没有沙尘暴的城市，更重要的原因是老婆不能适应北京的气候，深圳是我们选择定居的城市。

在北京的三年，我们创建的P1.cn从品牌到会员数都有很大的发展，高质量的生活内容和Party也受到很多人的欢迎。在这期间我们换了3个办公室，从建外SOHO，到朝外SOHO，再从朝外SOHO到SOHO尚都。经历了初始创立，快速发展，现再到了努力坚持的阶段。经过一段时间的准备，我也安排好了工作交接，现在退出不会对P1的发展有影响。

这一个三年在北京有很多故事，走遍了北京的名胜古迹，参与了很多次社区活动。从ChinaonRails Open Course, Beijing Open Party, BetaCamp技术沙龙, QClub/QCon Beijing 等一系列映像深刻的社区活动中认识了很多同道的朋友，交流过程中受益颇多。虽然以后北京线下活动我不能参与了，但在这个信息时代，互联网依然会让我们距离很近。

昨晚P1的Founder们和几个同事为我饯行，都是从建外SOHO一起走过来的朋友，三年愉快的朝夕相处，源于我们对梦想的追寻，和对这份事业的执着。现在我要走了，祝大家好运。我心归心似箭，却又依依不舍。

去深圳以后做什么还没有确定。我打算先休息一段时间，停下来认真对过去这三年做个总结，思考下一个三年的计划，然后寻找新的工作机会。

再见了，北京的朋友们！

1，QCon 的会议的接待指引流程特别不错，参会队伍很宠大，听取这么多一线互联网人士的经验获益不少，午餐也挺好吃的。

在哒哒的键盘声中，2009就又从指缝中溜走了。生活中的改变很大，因为结婚了，工作中值得纪念的事很少，因为表面上平淡无奇。很无奈的是在北京过了近3年仍在创业的初级阶段，很欣慰的是看到妹妹这两年进步很多。时不可兮骤得，聊逍遥兮容与。

上周六(2009-12-19)，我们在Seravia北京的办公室，举行了一期BeijingonRails小聚。到场的30多人基本都是Rails程序员，这应该是2009年北京最后的一次Rails聚会活动了。小记：

今天上午，P1在北京西四环城市反恐基地，进行了一次真人CS团队活动。

我在第三场:卧虎藏龙中获得最佳射手奖。

Dmitry Belitsky对几位成功的Rubyist进行了9个问题的email访问，然后公布了他们的回答，他们的经验对要想成为一个高效、成功、开心的Ruby / Rails工作者非常有帮助。

受此启发，我准备对中国 Ruby / Rails 优秀人物使用同样的问答对话方式，看看他们是怎样做到的。

以下是问题，如果你希望分享你的经验，请回答以下问题，发布到ChinaonRails社区，或我的Email(jesse.cai(at)gmail.com)中，同时也非常欢迎参与者邀请中国 Ruby / Rails 优秀人物参与。

1. 请简单介绍一下你自己，你目前的状态及对短期目标的打算，留下Blog、Twitter等。

2. 你是怎样找到你的第一个Ruby相关的工作的？

3. 你是在哪里和怎样搜索工作机会？你能给我一些最好的方法找到Ruby相关工作的建议吗？

4. 你能给一个没有完整项目展示的Ruby新手一些建议吗？

5. 你可以说说怎样做可以让现在比过去更好的吗？主要是关于使用Ruby工作、客户、如何寻找好的客户方面。很多人梦想着现在比过去好，将来比现在好，所以请写下任何你关于超越过去的想法。

6. 你可以推荐一些你认为将帮助一个程序员生活得更好的书籍、网站、秘诀吗？

7. 你一周工作多长时间？你怎样保持工作效率和精力集中呢？

8. 你怎样管理你的工作空间？你在工作时使用哪些工具？

9. 怎样成为一个成功和有用的程序员？

10. 什么是一个程序员应该知道的？

昨天参加了CSDN CTO俱乐部线下活动：互联网软件开发中的团队合作与团队管理。爱帮网CEO刘建国先生分享了互联网软件开发的特点和团队管理方面的一些经验。到会的朋友们聊起来，发现原来六度关系都很近，有同事的同学，有以前公司的同事的现在同事。

以下是我记录的刘建国先生回答提问的内容：

创业团队怎样留住人才？

关键是要让团队成员相信这个产品是有价值的，百度当年是在大家都认为Web search已经Game over的情况下开始做的，但团队相信越来越多的互联网内容，一定需要一个好的搜索工具。一个创业项目要成功，需要团队成员有很深的Believe. 另外团队建设中的“选，育，用，留”中的留人，有一个很重要的一点是要清除不合适的团队成员，清除不合适的团队成员，是对团队其他成员的保护。

爱帮网的竞争对手是谁？

刘建国回答说，爱帮网的竞争对手是Google, 还分别根据Google的三个战略重点：Integrated search, Map,Android. 和Bing的四个垂直搜索：Product, Health, Local, Travel.分析本地搜索是大家都关注的重点市场。(但我觉得可能酷讯，大众点评等才是爱帮更直接的竞争对手，虽然挑战Google会显得更有抱负。)

团队绩效和QA如何做？

对于Engineer的Performance评估的确是有一定难度，一般按Project进行，还有季度KPI.QA主要是两个方面，一是产品测试，二是对过程的QA，主要体现在对过程的定义和执行，不管是选择XP还是Scrum都是为了让团队产出更有质量和高效。因为互联网软件有更高的对Bug的容忍度，在开发人员和测试人员的配比上一般是1:5，或1:3.而传统软件开发会更高，微软是1:1.
