Moments

Everyday thoughts, discoveries, and passing notes, kept in their unpolished flow.

April 2026

Yesterday (Saturday), we visited Zhaixing Tower in Dengfeng and Dashiong Mountain for the first time.

The weather was great—comfortable temperatures, lush greenery on the mountain, and a nice, cool breeze.

It wasn’t crowded at all, and the environment was really pleasant. It’s perfect for a family outing or just a relaxing hike.

It may not be very well-known—kind of a hidden gem—but the scenery is beautiful, with lots of trees and fresh air. I really liked it.

Deliver insights and technical expertise, evoke emotion in the audience, and provide educational value.

The website logo icon has also been updated correctly.

When building a product, don’t fall into the trap of complex solutions at the beginning, even if you are a very experienced developer.

The first thing to consider is your ability to acquire and serve 0–100 and 0–1000 users. The technical solution should be as simple as possible, so that it helps with fast release, fast validation, and quickly moving into the development of core features.

AI capabilities have made the development of many advanced features extremely easy, but do you really need them? Do users really care? If you cannot make good insights and judgments, AI will instead trap you in meaningless consumption, such as time and tokens.

Web is still the most worthwhile platform and distribution channel to develop for. On iOS, when you share a website to the home screen, you will see an app launch icon. After tapping the icon to open it, you won’t see the browser address bar, and it feels completely like an independent app.

Recently, I’ve started to rethink:

1. With AI assistance, the cost and difficulty of developing native apps have been greatly reduced, but the cost of publishing and maintaining on both systems is still high.
2. Is it necessary to develop mini programs?
3. Can it already meet user needs and user experience?

Milestone: Added multilingual support for three languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English.

Design and development principles
• Avoid redundancy and keep the implementation simple
• Follow the principle of minimal changes to prevent intrusive impact on existing functionality
• Maintain system consistency and avoid introducing unnecessary variants and edge-case complexity
• Prioritize long-term maintainability over short-term feature delivery
• All code and design must undergo line-by-line manual review

“Those who mature early often mature late.”

This line comes from Soldiers Sortie. Its core meaning is that apparent maturity (socialized maturity) often suppresses the development of the true self (personal maturity). Those who mature early gain worldly rewards sooner because of their maturity, but in adulthood they are more likely to fall into confusion due to prematurely exhausting their passion or living for others. They require a longer period of reflection to complete their internalized self-growth.

Reading should feel like a walk—no rush, just taking it in.

Capture those moments that truly hit you.

You have reached the end.
