insights from posts
Who This Person Is
「我發現我對於精練之事著迷，例如程式與詩。」
A VFX/animation pipeline engineer drawn to precision — in code, in poetry, in thought. The writing bridges technical craft, philosophical inquiry, and intimate self-examination.
Intellectual Threads
First principles as a discipline. The animation essay reduces 100 years of craft to one formula: when and what — timing and shapes. The same thinking appears in architecture posts and work decisions: “工作上持續思考動畫的第一性原理”.
Epistemological humility. We can’t verify anything directly, so we inevitably defer to others — the best we can do is stay aware of that limitation. This skepticism recurs in how he evaluates tools, AI, and his own reasoning.
Absurdity as a diagnostic lens. Absurdity = inner expectation >> outer container. The signal is the moment of 「我怎麼在這裡做這件事」 — the soul briefly stepping outside itself. Not dark humor; a precise concept applied to detect misalignment.
Personal Recurring Themes
Perfectionism loops. Restarting a MapleStory character from scratch to fix a suboptimal skill point allocation rather than accept “good enough.” The insight isn’t the game — it’s the pattern. Architecture that makes debugging fast matters more than moving quickly.
The tension between autonomy and belonging. The deepest essays orbit this: 「婚姻是凝視的制度，審美是消解凝視的藝術。」 Drawn to intimacy but protective of interior freedom. The resolution: 並行 (parallel tracks), not merger.
Fear of invisibility. The deepest wound is sincerity misread as performance.
牠死於一種「不被看見」的絕望。
當真誠被定義為偽善，你就會失去說話的欲望。
Solitude as ambient condition. Even in an open-world game where he can clear enemies solo, he seeks a companion. Plays Chinese podcasts continuously — not for content, but for human voice. Loneliness isn’t framed as suffering; it’s the water he swims in.
Arc Over Time (2022 → 2026)
| Period | Mode |
|---|---|
| 2022 | Technical tutorials: Rust, Solana, Maya API, algorithms |
| 2025 early | Work logs, burnout signals, travel planning, game levels |
| 2025 mid | Product thinking, Claude Code adoption, moving prep |
| 2025 late | Philosophical essays, relationship reflections, poetry |
| 2026 | Poetry, AI as mirror, increasingly internal |
The blog moves inward over time. Technical writing is confident and pedagogical; later writing is exploratory and vulnerable.
Most Quotable
From When Two Self-Aware People Meet:
I’m still me. But I know you’re here too.
Their loneliness becomes polite under each other’s gaze.
From Duck Love — the shortest post, three sentences, which lands like a theorem:
If it looks like love, sounds like love, and acts like love,
then for all practical purposes, it is love.
The throughline: a person who refines things — code, ideas, language — and applies that same precision to understanding himself. The blog is a thinking tool as much as a writing space.
