Friends I once knew now drift through neon valleys beyond our reach. In that eternal synthwave sunset, they've found peace among geometric mountains and digital stars. I sometimes glimpse them when the light hits just right. They dance through pixel rain and retrowave streams, their laughter echoing across dimensions. In that glowing forever, they remember us as we remember them—across the distance, connected still.

To Alex who would have turned 31 today

A man sits silently on the edge of a cliff, his back to the viewer. He gazes out at a valley landscape where ethereal ghosts drift through the mist. The scene is bathed in the distinctive blue and orange gradients of synthwave aesthetics, with a large geometric sun hanging low in the sky, casting neon grid patterns across the horizon. The entire image has a slightly grainy, printed-and-scanned quality reminiscent of vintage manga, with visible halftone dots.

I think the most important thing should be the portability and flexibility. On the other side of the spectrum is one-off code/scripts. Which would also be useful but can be a waste if the well crafted logic only run once in a very specific context. Code should be aimed to be reused.

Stimulating article on LLMs in programming: simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/11/

My bet is that CHOP will evolve into some state where the methodical person giving it context with well-written and structured business domain and requirements documents is going to still be well-paid, because there'll be some upper ceiling on the useful abstraction that LLMs can handle without it. BA and QA skills will become even more important. (I might be wrong.)

Thanks to @simonSimon Willison for the article.

In a podcast (coming soon in Mandarin) I have been asked an interesting question to describe my code style with three adjectives I picked minimal, portable, and agnostic Minimal is stylistic; portable means tree-shaking, flexible, adoptable to different scenarios; Agnostic is to run in any runtime

Cool testing of Tesla’s vision-only system versus LiDAR, showing experimentally the superiority of the laser-based sensing technique.

Musk said “Anyone relying on LiDAR is doomed" but turns out that Waymo has a far superior track record than Tesla, and has entered commercial service with far superior technology. This claim was about margin preservation for Tesla (given price of LiDAR sensors), not safety.
