There are two profit models in the world. One follows the 20/80 rule, where the top 20% take 80% of the profits; the other offers high average returns, even if it does not reward only the most outstanding people. For decades, software development has belonged to the second model: you do not have to be extremely elite to earn a good salary. Fields like medicine and law share this same characteristic.
I’ve let myself off the hook. I want to tell everyone that I love you all, even though I’m not as good at expressing emotions as I imagined; I also want to tell you that I’m doing well (though I’m a little uneasy). Focusing my limited attention on these tiny, unremarkable things and feeling life with care may be far more important than the titles we chase in the workplace.

Independent developers often choose platforms like Vercel for deploying their services. However, when more advanced requirements arise, such as database connections, Vercel can become less convenient. Additionally, the pricing of typical cloud service providers can be quite expensive for solo developers. In this article, I’ll share some insights on using Zeabur and highly recommend it to everyone!
I believe that fear is one of the essences of life, and I hope to find the best solution for myself through randomness.
I enjoy writing technical content, especially exploring the common principles behind various theorems. However, I've recently come to believe that standard instructional articles often fail to highlight personal characteristics; instead, they should focus on unique insights and experiences. Moving forward in my writing, I hope to place greater emphasis on my own perspectives and discover a distinct voice within the tech field.
This article reflects on my journey in front-end development, covering everything from my initial technology choices to my career progression.

After reading the insights from *The Worst Kind of Programmer*, this article highlights the dangers of over-engineering in software projects, which can hinder a team's long-term productivity. The author argues that good engineering prioritizes simplicity and scalability over the premature adoption of trendy technologies. Emphasizing the importance of maintainable and modifiable code, the article also underscores the significance of effective communication in technical decision-making. Drawing on Bezos's principle of "disagree and commit," it encourages teams to make decisions even in the face of differing opinions, while avoiding compromises that lead to inefficient solutions.

I’d like to share some experiments I plan to undertake as I approach nearly a decade in software development and front-end engineering. Having navigated through the vibrant and diverse era of front-end development, my experiences have significantly shaped my understanding of the ongoing changes in the field. Although I've already shared numerous articles on my blog, there are still many insights and ideas I wish to convey that remain unwritten.
I tried explaining concepts in a vivid, easy-to-understand way, paired with simple hands-on exercises, and unexpectedly received a lot of praise.
It’s hard to recommend this anime to someone who has never seen it before. It’s a story about an elf mage and a hero’s adventure. The elf lives for an extremely long time, far longer than a human lifespan. By the time the humans she once traveled with have all died, the elf realizes she knows nothing about humans, and so she sets out on another journey.
After using HEY for about half a year, I ultimately decided to move on and switched to Cloudflare's email routing instead.
I recently watched the Korean drama *A Killer Paradox* on Netflix, which is adapted from a webtoon. Since I watched it while fast-forwarding, to be honest I was a bit confused in the first few episodes and only started to get a grip on the story later.
Splatoon is one of my favorite Switch games. It’s a game you can play with friends, and naturally there are all kinds of communities around it. By chance, I also got to know quite a few people who play Splatoon.
Perhaps it's because there are so many brilliant individuals in the software industry that every time I feel I've achieved a milestone, it somehow seems less significant in comparison.
