Translated from the Chinese original. Cost as a moat Claude Code has just had another wave of account bans, and the community is full of first-hand accounts from people whose one- or two-year-old accounts got hit. There is plenty written on this topic, but honestly, the underlying logic of some of it is flawed. This post covers it all in one go: what the service provider is trying to stop, what we are simulating, and the framework of the setup I run myself. I hope this is the last time I talk about this topic. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. Every setback, a lesson This post is built on two voice recordings totaling more than 80 minutes. As in the rest of this series: as a human, you only need to understand the ideas and the logic; for the concrete execution details, just hand the article to your Agent. Intro: Two Keywords Today I want to talk about a slightly abstract question: if you could only remember two words from the Agent era, which two should they be? ...

Translated from the Chinese original. Giving Your Agent a Pair of Ears In Observing the World, I mentioned that I transcribe more than ten hours of audio and video every day. Quite a few friends asked: what’s running underneath? In 2023 I wrote a usage guide for Whisper (the Sspai version), which was one of the more complete introductions available online at the time. Not long ago, a high school classmate suddenly got in touch. He had been searching for Whisper material, came across that article, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the author was me. An article from three years ago reconnecting me with an old classmate in this way felt kind of magical. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. Chen Jingfei (陈婧霏) has released a new song called “The Myriad Faces of the World” (人间万象). The world is a net — who is weaving its direction? Some have fallen into the dark of night; some are waiting for the spring breeze. Chen Jingfei, The Myriad Faces of the World I like her a lot. After listening, I felt the song title could serve as an entry point to talk about something I’ve wanted to discuss for a long time but never found the right moment for: I have a habit of continuously observing the world. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. Old tree, new blossoms The draft of this article was a 45-minute voice-recorded train of thought. Continuing the tradition of this series — as a human, all you need to understand is the ideas and the framework; leave the execution details to your Agent. The appendix at the end contains reference material for your Agent to read. Recommended background reading: Context is All You Need (the basics of context engineering), Risk Control, Design Philosophy, and Model Selection (model tiering strategy), and A General Doesn’t Chase Rabbits (multi-Agent scheduling architecture). This article takes a different perspective — not “how I personally use Agents,” but “how a traditional team gets Agents to land.” ...

Translated from the Chinese original. Description: I handed the chat history of a fairly long relationship to Fable 5 and asked it to help me review it. The result far exceeded my expectations: the AI used the archive to rebut my memory, and pointed out a pattern in my intimate relationships that I had never been able to see. This post is about methodology, about self-discovery, and about marriage and intimacy in the age of AI. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. This post is the mobile-setup upgrade in the “Agents Never Clock Out” series. For how to build the base architecture, see Agents Never Clock Out: A Development Setup for Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device; for how to schedule multiple agents, see A General on the March Doesn’t Chase Rabbits. This post is about what happened to the mobile development experience after the whole setup switched to Herdr. As always: as a human, all you need to understand is the architecture and the reasoning behind the choices. Hand the actual installation and deployment to your agent. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. A general on the march doesn’t chase rabbits This post started as an 80-minute voice talk. It continues the tradition of this series: as a human, you only need to understand the ideas and the architectural logic; for all the concrete execution details, just hand the article to your Claude Code or Codex and let it do the work. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. This post is based on an 80-minute voice recording, and it covers a lot of ground: my current state of obsession, how I think about Token usage, the boundary between Skills and software, how human-agent collaboration is evolving, and every model I use. As with the rest of this series — as a human, all you need to understand is the thinking and the architecture; for every concrete execution detail, just hand this article to your Claude Code or Codex and let it do the work. ...

Translated from the Chinese original. This post is the client-side installment of the “LLM Eats Everything” series. For how to build the 24/7 remote base camp, see the previous post, Agents Never Clock Out: A Development System for Any Place, Any Time, Any Device; for how to choose the hardware foundation, see The Agent’s Home. The question here is: when all your main development work runs on remote servers, what should you actually install on the laptop in your hands? ...
