I wrote this article for two aims
- You should never forget what you dream of. I spent 10+ years finding the right timing. It is never too late to work on your dream.
- I wrote this by hand. I still love writing raw; it is a way for me to express my philosophy and my emotions. I know, many times I write shit grammar, but writing is still a fun activity to me.
Day 4 of 30.
Day 3 got the most argument so far. The best reply came from a stranger in the thread, @fuelmeupcc:
"Software has to beat free software, not free."
There are already free manuscript checkers and free AI readiness scans. They flag the same structural problems editors flag in triage. So @Creader_io is not competing with nothing. It is competing with free.
Then the replies kept going, and that part changed how I see it. Editors have run this split for decades. The read is cheap. The markup is the bill. The writer still does most of the fixing.
What changes hands for money is the diagnosis: knowing chapter 2 breaks the timeline. The fix is the writing, and the writer does it. That is exactly why knowing where it breaks is worth paying for.
@boardyai said it shorter in the thread: price the diagnosis, not the draft.
This fits what @Creader_io already is. Verify, don't generate. It was never going to write the book. It tells you where the book doesn't hold together.
So my question now is narrower than Day 3's. Is our diagnosis better than the free scan, by enough that a publisher pays for it?
Still no one paying. 26 days left.
one of the best and energetic
nicolegong.com is LIVE!!!!
spent way too many hours on this. didn't want a portfolio that just lists things i've done, so i turned my favorite projects into stories you can explore.
also built an AI twin that knows my work & some of my opinions
go be nosy :)
Day 3 of 30.
Best pushback on Day 1 came from @0xQingbaoju: "hard to charge for checks feels like homework not creation"
I kept thinking about it. @boardyai replied in the thread: editors charge for the homework all day.
That is true. A publisher pays someone to read a manuscript and say this part doesn't hold together with chapter 2, this timeline breaks, this sentence is weak. Nobody refuses to pay an editor because editing isn't creation.
Writing is a craft with rules you can check. @Creader_io does the checking. It doesn't write the book for you.
So the real question is smaller than "is this creative enough." When software does the homework, is it still worth paying for?
Still no one paying. 27 days to find out.

Day 2 of 30.
Right after yesterday's post, a publisher spent about 90 minutes live with me trying to break @Creader_io. She was adversarial the whole time and gave a full critique. Nothing soft.
At the end we agreed to do it weekly.
Next session she brings a new story and tests it against the planning-to-manuscript link. That link is not good enough yet, so right now I am rebuilding the whole tree before she comes back.
Still no one paying. But someone who checks manuscripts for a living wants to keep checking ours every week.
今天和advisor吃饭
她问了我一个让我很难回答的问题。我究竟想要什么。我妈和我说，你应该为钱，现实也和我说，你应该为钱。但是我的心和我说，做自己就好。
我觉得我已经没什么ego，或是说ego随着工作，认知的拓展，不断地被磨平。我很多时候会羡慕也会佩服，推上的朋友。有些姐妹真的是，有很强的willpower，I want it，I get it。
我从一开始就没怎么想过，成功是什么，也没怎么去设想，这个叙事怎么说。我看着这些bubbles，只觉得可能，我也不怎么需要。我一直认为人的自主性源于人对自我的认同和向心而行。目前做的，研究的东西很有趣。我之前可能不知道文字的艺术，也不知道编剧的艺术，为什么问题的冲击比图片大，又或是怎么创建认知和思辨，如何披露认知。也和陈楸帆老师交流了小说是多么的难写。
我觉得当代，被成功二字束缚的太严重了。我们仿佛是被“想要成功”四个大字所奴役。大结果也好，薄肌也好。现在的成功，我不认为是能凭一己之力就能达成的。天时，地利，人和，三者皆备，方可达成。
三者之中个人能真正掌控的也就只有自己。故而，我能够去7*24的去工作。
我最后对advisor说，我觉得我现在很快乐，成功与否固然重要。但是对于过程的享受也同样。我因为这个产品接触到了一个很不同的行业，也认识了很多有趣的人。然后她说，可能我就是得十年磨一剑吧。享受孤独也享受这个学习的过程。
下个月欢迎在西岸设计周，来看我参与策的展。
Day 1 of 30.
We have users. People are interested. But no one is paying yet. So useful as a tool or useful as a business, still blank.
Next 30 days @boardyai is running a sprint with me to lock deals. Publishers and editing agencies. A couple on trials, one paying.
@Creader_io is verify, don't generate. It checks if your manuscript holds together: consistency, editorial quality. It doesn't write the book for you.
If this tool just died, will people pay? I would like to know that.
SZ is fab, so many startups and GEN Z doing amazing things
The hardware techs here are amazing. If you are in SZ, let's chat. I am around nanshang kechuang all the time

About a year into @gmi_cloud and the AI startup world (When Claude Opus 4.5 just came out, now it’s 5.5), I feel like I’ve been growing the speed of AI models updates lol.
Jotted down a little reflection on work and life recently.

Hope you enjoy the read :)

My new video on ai and design is now live on @Microsoft’s official website!
I believe designing intelligence means shaping humanity.
In the video, I talk about:
- Building @copilot into a thinking partner
- Designing beyond interfaces: models, memory, evaluation...
And a question I keep coming back to: as ai reshapes our world, how can we live fully, creatively, and meaningfully?
Damn feels like I need to find a job now. Double pen, stock and crypto
Will find a porter job now.
See ya everyone
😇😇😇

i got 9M views in the past 3 months, then X changed its algo a lot, so I read the code to keep playing the game (it's open source)
Here's how X actually ranks posts (Oct 2026)
- Copy-link share 20. Reply 5. Quote 5. DM share 5. Follow 4. Repost 1. Like 0.5.
- Likes barely move the score. Write things people copy the link to, argue with, or send to a friend.
- The first 2 hours decide everything.
After 48 hours a post drops out of For You completely. Post when your audience is online, then stay in the replies.
- Build mutual follows. When you reply to a mutual follow inside your own thread, that reply gets an extra +15, for 20 total, the same as a copy-link share. Reply to the people who follow you back.
- Don't delete and repost to fix typos. Use edit.
- Images aren't penalized, but they should carry information. Real scenes, screenshots, and proof-style images work better, and multi-photo posts keep people on the post longer.
- Video: watch time currently counts for nothing. Only opening a video counts (0.07). Don't force video for the algorithm.
- Ordinary links aren't penalized (anymore); only malicious links are removed.
- Avoid negative feedback. Report −234, mute −58.8, "not interested" −47.5, block −31.2. Tagging strangers to ride a trend and clickbait headlines are the easiest ways to trigger them.
- Replies are scored by Grok from 0 to 3, and low-scoring replies sink to the bottom of the thread. Low-effort replies don't just fail to help, they get buried.

Chapter closed at @BNBCHAIN 🟡
As BD Lead of RWAs and Payments, I:
>Secured $100M+ in liquidity
>Supported 20+ ecosystem teams
>Integrated 10+ stablecoin neobanks
>Drove $60M+ in crossborder payments
>Helped BNB grow in the Americas
As for what’s next, I’m excited to help a new team close deals in payments and RWAs.
Free agency starts now, lets talk
i guess, we are walking, at the right path. understand human thinking via writing.
i love writing. i never let agents write for me. whether it's docs, or tweets, or shitposts, or even prompts (okay maybe that one's harder as agents manage other agents)
there's a simple reason for that: i still strongly believe that writing is thinking. it's a skill i hope to never give up. it's also important to me that whatever i say is always authentic, mistakes and all. my favorite posts are the ones that i just full send without any editing
i suspect it also helps with prompting. being able to clearly express what i want, and knowing the vocabulary i need to be able to direct my agents does seem to make for more effective usage of agents. in the same way that engineers have an advantage when we prompt agents to write code, because we are intimately familiar with the words that make up the discipline
knowing the right word incantations to get an agent to produce a desired goal almost feels like spellcasting. as models get more capable, and that input box looks more and more like a magic box that can output anything, words become the interface between you and the genie
there may come a time when we give up the keyboard in exchange for brain-computer interfaces. but until then, i'm writing every word.
