Longer note
I've been in tech for 10 years. The first half was spent writing code at companies; now I work a day job and build my own products in the evenings and on weekends, treating AI as a daily tool rather than a concept.
This website and my WeChat public account are the same thing: no theory, just a record of how one person actually gets things done in the AI era — the pitfalls encountered while building products, methods for boosting efficiency with AI, balancing a side hustle with a day job, and the failed experiments I've abandoned.
