Recently, the sharp drop in the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index has left me deeply worried, to the point that it even delayed my product work.
And when I look back at the Spring Festival period, I remember how I got tangled up over someone keeping a dog in the courtyard of my mother-in-law’s residential community, and slipped into severe anxiety again.
It’s honestly a bit ridiculous. The Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski traveled through dozens of countries in his lifetime and witnessed countless wars and conflicts. Reading his books recently, I can’t help but feel that I’ve been living too narrowly.

I came across a great post today:
The Workflow in One Sentence
Read deeply, write a plan, annotate the plan until it’s right, then let Claude execute the whole thing without stopping, checking types along the way.

1. Choose Your Battle
Naval says: don’t have too many desires.
What is a desire? A desire is a contract you sign to be unhappy until it is fulfilled.
It’s okay to have desires, but not too many. Choose the one you want most, and let the rest go.
But don’t have too many. Don’t pick them up unconsciously. Don’t pick them up randomly. Don’t have thousands of them. My coffee’s too cold, doesn’t taste quite right. I’m not sitting perfectly. Oh, I wish it was warmer. You know. My dog, you know, pooped in the lawn, I don’t like that. Whatever it is. Pick your one overwhelming desire. It’s okay to suffer over that one, but on all the others, do you want to let them go so you can be calm and peaceful and relaxed? And then you’ll perform a better job.
From now on, my primary battlefield will shift away from my current job to two new arenas: strengthening my body and mind, and creating valuable products.

Today I listened to Lenny’s conversation with Boris Cherny, the head of Claude Code. As one of the highest-output programmers from companies like Meta and Instagram, he said he has not personally written or manually edited code for an entire year — everything has been written with Claude Code — and he is still one of the highest-output programmers. That is shocking.
What kind of change will this bring to the software industry and to the world? Will the App Store-dominated app model still define the future? Once everyone can write code, software products and services will almost certainly explode in quantity, and their value and price will likely go down. So for those of us in the industry, what should we do to avoid missing this era?

I started university in 2005 and finished my master’s degree in 2012. In 2007, the first iPhone arrived, marking the “iPhone Moment” of the mobile internet. I lived through that entire era, yet unlike peers such as Guo Yu, Sofish, 61, Kevin Zhou, or Tualatrix, I didn’t reach financial freedom or build a company with its own assets. Now that the AI era has arrived, I refuse to be a bystander again.
