I hope this is a horror story. The kind that feels real enough to disturb you but turns out to be fiction.
I'm not sure it is.
AI accounted for a quarter of all US layoffs last month.
And every time someone is let go, something happens nobody is talking about.

More AI skills is not better.
Before I even started a task, the AI was loading context through dozens of skills. Tokens burning. Wrong things firing.

I used to think AI would make everything linear.
Brainstorm → stress test → build → launch.
Clean. Fast. Efficient.
But that's not how it actually works.

You vibe coded it. It works. It fits your brain perfectly.
Selling it is a different size of world.
Auth. Onboarding. Billing. Rate limits. Legal. Unit economics.
None of this stops you. But knowing the list before you decide which path you're on changes what you build toward.

In the world of social media, it’s easy to feel if you don’t have them all, you have none.
In reality, most of us are not far away from each other
You are enough 🤗
I've finally written the fail tale of VisitBook. I have been pondering whether to write it and share it, but I think it forces me to reflect on the experience and learn from it.

Knowing something is different from doing something. I am jumping into the rabbit hole to practice more by following the tutorials by @yu_angela to reinforce my learning.
Here is the simple xylophone app I've created after the tutorial
Now coding is fun

2 things I've learned from being a Swift newbie
Programming is like a new language, there are two key components:
1 is the grammar, such as using "var" to create a variable.
2 is logic, like speaking any language, the meaning of a sentence comes down to how we explain the logic

iOS learning week 2 - actual learnings
1. A function is made up of a name, a set of inputs, and a set of outputs: get something into the function, and it will produce some output for you.

iOS learning week 2 - inner dialogue
This week has been a tough week in turns of learning and unplanned life events. And night times have been the dangerous hours my inner voice keeps on asking me: Is it worth it? Why are you doing this?

So we were out of power for two days due to the severe weather. And today we got the power back but no internet. But the bright side is I can do my Xcode homework without distraction 😂#learninpublic #100DaysOfCode #Xcode #Swift #iOS
iOS learning log - Week 1
2 things out of my expectations
1. I thought I only need to invest 1 hour in a live course and 5 hours on homework. I spent 3x more on studying it because I realized I didn't have coding fundamentals

“Caterpillars are also beautiful !”
My 2-year-old loves the hungry caterpillar story right now but he would ask me to tell the story that the caterpillar didn't turn into a butterfly. I asked him “butterflies are beautiful, why don't you want the caterpillar to become one?”

I got an interesting observation today. I went to a new local coffee shop (because they have the draw to get up to 10 free coffees). Hey, familiar marketing technique to draw new customers.

I am stepping out of my comfort zone, and doing something I think I am not made for - Learning iOS programming. Some may even say I am crazy and overcommitted.
