Do you remember the fear of being dominated by nails? Do you remember the sudden concern of the boss in the serial call? Do you remember receiving a greeting of "Don't worry, just give it to me on Monday morning" on Friday night?

I don't know if you are like me. There are always one or two (maybe seven, eight or nine) in a month. In an instant, there is an impulse to leave with one button.

give me back all these dirty things, such as gripper empowerment, link closed loop and pull-through alignment! Back off! Back off! Now I want to take advantage of this natural sunny day, turn off the computer, take my beloved girl to the seaside and never come back to face this bad job.

So, on that night that I might be angry with my colleagues, I seriously thought about not going to work.

I asked myself five questions:

1. How much savings do I need to have before I can go to work?

2. how much savings do I have now? How much passive income can these savings bring me?

3. How much do I spend every month in my present life?

4. If I suddenly lose my job now, how long will my savings enable me to maintain my present life?

5. If I have been earning this salary, how much money can I earn when I retire?

after I searched all my bank cards, calculated my monthly bills, and even searched my retirement policy through Baidu, I found that I still have a long way to go before I go to work.

Looking at the draft paper all over the table, I think my draft paper won't hold up even if I do this calculation every time. Why not make a gadget to remind me: how far is it from achieving my goal of not going to work?

I told Miss Xiaohua what I thought, and we hit it off immediately and started our first cooperation ~ The final form of the product

The WeChat applet was selected (you can open a separate article after the specific reasons, and dig the hole first).

We decided to play a homophonic terrier, and named our little program "Ducks who don't want to work", and because of this homophonic terrier, we naturally regard ducks as our mascots.

We set a deadline for the prototype document every day. After a week of "Tomorrow", we finally decided what kind of functions this applet needs:

First of all, we hope this applet can check the retirement time and how much money the part-time worker can earn when he retires according to the current salary level;

Secondly, we hope to see the time when our current savings can make us lie flat and rotten in the same place and become a carefree Sanhe Great God. Although this function was named f**k u money at the beginning, it was not a good word after all, and it was eventually renamed as "rotten time";

In addition, because of some selfishness, we also joined two interesting interactions:

What to do after work: You can randomly choose the time to do after work (originated from my colleague Juan Wang, who complains to me every day that I don't know what to do after work)

The letter of resignation of ducks and ducks: a weekly resignation trick, so that everyone can let go of themselves on the road of not working.

Finally, we all agree that holidays should be given some sense of ceremony, so we want to have a look at the days before the next holiday.

After deadline has gone on for several times tomorrow, I finally finished a simple and crude product prototype, adding all the functions we like. Design

I hope our design style is youthful, lovely and full of cheerful atmosphere (it is better to have colorful black, so this sentence is crossed out). After all, it's bad enough to go to work, and I need lovely things to return blood.

After repeated adjustments and polishing, and comparing the front page of the sixth edition, we unanimously chose this edition that you see now (it's really impossible to do more sets) ~

There's not much to explain, it's all in the picture. Development

The division of labor between Xiaohua and me is that she is responsible for the design and I am responsible for writing the code, so after finishing the UI draft, the pressure comes to me (after all, I mumble like a storm every day: Is the map ready? Is the map ready? Is the map ready? ）。

Looking at the fancy interface, I sighed that our small program is really cute, but at the same time I felt that it was cute at a price, and the front-end code was too hard to write. I even once suspected that I had dug a hole for myself, and I had to finish writing the interface I wanted to add.

most people think that the code is boring, but in that half a month, I was immersed in it every day. The whole development process is very smooth. With the hand speed practiced by Keyboard Man for many years, the code of the whole small program is finished in less than half a month.

After the launch of "Duck Who Don't Want to Work", we shared it with our friends, and it was recognized and liked by many people. We decided to maintain our duckling operation, and hoped that our duckling could comfort everyone in this troubled world and cure every migrant worker who didn't want to go to work for a short time.

This is the story that I developed a small program because I didn't want to go to work. It can be regarded as my efforts to not go to work, and I hope to share it with you.
