Imagine living till 80. If you pick up a skill at 20, you’ve got 60 years to use it; at 30, you get 50 years; but learn something at 50, and you’re down to just 30 years. The lesson? The sooner you learn a valuable skill, the more you benefit. Conversely, the sooner you adopt negative habits like complaining or procrastinating, the longer and more profoundly they’ll affect you. So, start learning the good stuff early!

I’m going crazy with all these posts, but I’ve got a little ulterior motive. I’m hoping to create enough content that truly represents my voice, tone, and thoughts while I’m still alive. That way, I can train my digital avatar 🤓 So, if one day you see a tweet from me, it might not actually be me anymore. I might be gone 😭 This is my digital legacy.

Under a bunch of fancy terms, your brain feels mystically profound. After several subconscious judgments of uncertainty, you end up choosing to believe. Remember, if it’s too complex and you don’t understand it, just reject it or don’t waste your time playing word games. Our purpose of communication is to exchange ideas, theirs is to deceive.

The most important trait to determine if someone is worth communicating with is whether they are open to different opinions.

Some people, although still alive, have solidified all their beliefs and with one foot in the grave, they've stopped growing.

Just sharing my thoughts here because I’ve used comfyui and other workflow building tools—prompts are actually just a small (but important) part of the whole process. Personally, I don’t think there’s a need to systematically study prompts, and it’s definitely not about writing essays. It’s more about guiding AI, and there are various ways to do this, like using controlnet lora, depth maps, normal maps, Cenny edge detection, and open pose. When these models first came out, there was even a job called a Prompt Engineer, but that role has faded over time. Mastering a model’s prompts doesn’t guarantee that the same prompts will work effectively after the model upgrades or integrates other guiding models.

I personally think there’s no need to be too anxious. I believe that as AI develops, we’ll figure out how to distinguish AI-generated content from human-generated content. Algorithms should favor content produced by humans, giving it more weight.

And I think this is an inevitable trend. If we don't prioritize human-created content, AI-generated content will flood every medium, from the internet to…

I’ve noticed that the review process for Chrome extensions is super simple and efficient. Usually, you can get something up and running in just a day, which is a whole different ballgame compared to the App Store and Play Store. So now, whenever I come up with a new idea, I ask myself: Do I really need to develop an app for this? Can it be done just as well via a web solution? If so, I might just create a plugin to test the waters. Plus, plugins have a big advantage: they can use the user’s Google account that’s already logged in, which is super convenient. Chrome used to handle payments, but now that’s up to the developers, making it possible to create subscription-based products.

I really like these small but beautiful websites; they’re like my own little backyard. I’m an old-timer from the Web 1.0 era, and I still enjoy the process: get a good idea, buy a domain, whip up a toy website, and maintain it whenever I feel like it. I post whatever comes to mind. No need for approvals, no need to keep up with mobile platform API changes; just create as I go. It’s kind of like building my own digital legacy, haha!

Health really is everything. So many great ideas and business models are spot-on, but sometimes they launch at the wrong time, or cash flow issues arise, or the body just can’t keep up until the big breakthrough. I’m convinced that many challenges we see today can be solved with the progress of technology—sometimes, all it takes is a little patience. That’s why I run every day, haha!

This might be a controversial take: I think programmers who switch to industries that blend tech with art, or those that don’t require intense coding skills but still need some coding knowledge, absolutely kill it. For instance, take the trending comfyui, which is all about visual programming. There’s a lot of overlap in the skills.
