Work Attitude
After decades of working in companies, it is a little to switch mode to working for myself.
I have to define the scope of work. I have to list my works clearly, and set proper priorities. Nobody would do such things for me as in companies.
I have to make the whole plan by myself, and try to stick to it. While in companies, there would always be deadlines. That was hard sometimes, but having a clear date sometimes was kind of relaxed.
What matters most is the efficiency. While working in companies, I would try to relax during works, while waiting for codes being compiled, going to bathroom, waiting for others for conference, etc. But working for myself is completely different. I would feel guilty if I wasted some time. While, I think both are not quite good.
Node.js
Use polling to get database updates. Use Redis as a message queue for multiple threads — well, I think that should be multiple processes.
JavaScript truly is more interesting than C++.

工作态度
在公司里做了好多年，现在转为自己工作，还有些不太适应。
我需要自己定义工作范围，列出工作内容，并且排好优先级。在公司里往往有其它人先把这些事情做好了。
我需要自己排定工作计划，并且严格执行。在公司里时会有deadline，虽然有时候很辛苦，但是其实有明确的时间和日期限制会轻松很多。
最大的差别在于效率。在公司工作时，我会在一些空闲时间放松和休息，比如代码编译的时候，去洗手间，会议开始前的等待，等等。但是为自己工作时，浪费一点时间就会觉得很有罪恶感。可能两种做法都有点极端。
Node.js
用轮询查询数据库更新内容。用Redis作为消息队列，来实现多线程——实际上我觉得就是多进程。
JavaScript确实比C++有趣得多。
