Last two months in IJO

Today, I met two friends from Motorola in BaiHuaTan park. We drank tea and shared job status and some ideas about career path together. They told me that the current project we once worked for is out of control due to bad technical decision and messy project management. It's luck that i drop away that project and left Motorola.

I prepared the talk and list few topics here so that all my friends can get my update in last two months.
