August 2025 Thought Notes The Unexamined Life and Game Theory Applications August 1st, 2025 - 07:23:45 Socrates said “the unexamined life is not worth living.” But what does examination actually require in practice? Self-examination isn’t just introspection—it’s systematic analysis of our own patterns, motivations, and decision-making processes. Like debugging code, but for consciousness. Game theory as a lens for life decisions: Every interaction can be understood as a game with players, strategies, and payoffs. But unlike abstract economic models, real-life “games” involve: ...

July 2025 Thought Notes Vibe Coding: Are Human Experiences the Shackles of AI Agents? July 1st, 2025 - 11:39:24 In Agent development, “The Bitter Lesson” remains equally important. Excessive human experience injection might actually limit AI performance and lock in product possibilities. Embrace Agent Patterns: Agent mode is mature; what we need is training agents’ thinking patterns. We can focus more on ideas and design, becoming architects rather than coders. Beware Over-Prescription: Excessive rule-setting (like fixed testing processes) may prevent AI from utilizing the latest model capabilities. We should let AI self-select more often. Context-Dependent Experience: Experience has scenario dependency. Over-reliance on experience constrains LLM performance; moderate injection as “heuristic guidance” is sufficient. This insight challenges traditional software engineering approaches in the AI era. The “bitter lesson” teaches us that general methods leveraging computation ultimately outperform human-designed heuristics. In agent development, this means resisting the urge to over-engineer constraints based on our past experiences. ...

June 2025 Thought Notes June 2025 Thought Notes Boundaries of Rejection: Finding Balance in Social Interactions June 2nd, 2025 - 06:28:12 In a Korean fried chicken restaurant, unexpectedly surrounded by Chinese people. The meal sets were all for two people, so I ordered two combo meals for myself. When ordering, I asked if I could pay by card, wanting to avoid using cash as I felt my cash wasn’t quite enough. ...

May 2025 Thought Notes AI-Era Independent Development: Frontend as the Main Battlefield for Value Delivery May 1, 2025 - 10:22:06 In the AI era, the battlefield of independent development is shifting toward the frontend. The transformation is evident: Backend Simplification: AI models turn core services into universal capabilities, lowering technical barriers in backend development. SaaS and PaaS providers encapsulate vast foundational capabilities that developers can directly invoke. Frontend as Value Delivery Nexus: The frontend is closest to users, making it easier to focus on MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and single-person product loops. Using a tech stack like Next.js / Tailwind / Firebase / Vercel enables full-stack delivery and rapid validation of the “function → value → growth” chain. From “Building” to “Integration”: Databases, permissions, storage, and model calls are becoming platformized (such as Supabase, LangChain, Replicate). Independent developers no longer need to write backend from scratch—they just need to “integrate.” AI decouples “intelligence” from the backend, making the frontend the true battlefield where users are closest, changes are most significant, and value is most concentrated. ...

LIST Two different experiences brought by fineness ｜ 2025-06-02 14:16:04 There are two kinds of subtleties in the world: one is perfectionism and the other is touching. Why does the latter often touch our hearts more? The refinement of perfectionism is the persistence in “perfection” itself - the flawless surface of ceramics and the accuracy of each note on the piano keys. The refinement of moving lies in the connection of emotions, which is like the beauty of imperfection in the Japanese “mono no aware”, and is a subtlety that can touch the soul. It flows in the performance, each change in intensity tells a story, and each rest carries the weight of emotion. ...

Pascal wrote in the 17th century: “All of humanity’s problems stem from one thing: man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Three hundred years later, I thought of this sentence late at night in Lhasa, and added one more: They’re not sure who exactly is the one sitting in that room. Introduction: The 3 AM Emptiness For a while, I woke up almost every day at 3 AM. ...
