A Life Woven with Innovation and Vision.

  • What will your life be like in three years?

    Three years from now, I don’t ask for much —

    just peace, stability, and enough abundance to live with ease.

    A calm morning, a warm heart, and steady hands for the work I love.

    That’s all I wish for — everything peaceful, everything full.

  • For the Truth

    Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

    Once a year.

    Turn off every sound.

    No meetings, no phones, no noise.

    Just sit quietly,

    and listen to your own heart.

    Think about the path you’ve walked this year—

    Where did your money go?

    And where did your government’s money go?

    What was truly necessary,

    and what was only desire?

    Then look beyond yourself.

    How is the planet we live on?

    Are we building a future worth inheriting,

    or quietly consuming it away?

    No anger, no excuses—

    just reflection.

    In stillness, there is prayer.

    In reflection, there is awareness.

    And through awareness,

    we move closer to the truth.

  • Favorite Websites

    What are your favorite websites?

    If ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google count, then of course these three come first, haha.

    But strictly speaking, they’re more like web services.

    When it comes to actual websites, it’s really hard to pick a fixed one these days — information sources are too diverse, and everything changes so fast.

    I used to have a few bookmarks I’d check daily, but now… it’s all about search, recommendation feeds, and the occasional rabbit hole that starts with a single click.

    Maybe that’s the charm of the modern web — it’s not about where we visit anymore, but how we connect.

  • When Everything Felt Possible

    Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?

    Back in my student days, I spent my time juggling science fairs, schoolwork, and personal hobbies. It was exhausting, yet fulfilling — every project felt like a small adventure, every late night a step toward something unknown. Looking back, that balance between curiosity and discipline was the purest form of growth.

  • We’ve Been Here Before

    What historical event fascinates you the most?

    Growing up in Taiwan, I learned about papermaking, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, World War II, and the Cold War through textbooks.

    But what truly fascinates me are the financial crises that have shaped the modern world.

    From the Great Depression of 1929, the Oil Crisis of 1973, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, to the recent pandemic shock and inflation wave — each has redefined how societies operate and how people place their trust.

    History always repeats itself, and every time, we believe this time is different.

  • Be kind, do your best

    What’s something you believe everyone should know.

    Don’t chase perfection—just stay true to your heart.

    Kindness may not change the world,

    but it changes how we see it.

    Doing your best isn’t about perfection;

    it’s about living with honesty and sincerity.

  • 🧩 Curiosity Keeps the Heart Young

    What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

    To be a kid at heart

    is to stay curious —

    to see the world without frames,

    without burdens.

    Curiosity keeps us alive,

    keeps us growing.

    It makes technology warm

    and life full of wonder.

    In Tech Weave,

    that’s the thread I hold on to.

  • Flutter Café: A Product Manager’s Journey Through Background Execution

    Flutter Café: A Product Manager’s Journey Through Background Execution

    Inside the Tech Weave Café, a heavy AI model rests on the counter —
    not just code, but the very soul of a product.
    It needs real-time inference, stable streaming, flawless visuals.
    Coffee isn’t the goal. Understanding is.

    await speaks first, voice calm and smooth:

    “I make code look synchronous, like time paused midair.
    But I live on the main thread — heavy work breaks me.”

    In the corner, compute waves:

    “I’m a temp worker. One-time jobs only.
    A continuous stream would wear me out.”

    Isolate.spawn looks up, composed:

    “I can stay alive — handle streams, compression, inference.
    But I need SendPort and ReceivePort.
    And I can’t touch assets.”

    A frown.
    “How, then, to load the model file?”

    From the bar, the philosopher-engineer steps forward,
    as if expecting the question:

    “Assets load only on the main thread.
    Use rootBundle.load(), convert to Uint8List, then pass it to the Isolate.”

    A sigh drifts across the café.
    At the back table sits the last, quiet figure — FFI.

    In a classic C-language suit, he speaks in a low tone:

    “No talk, just work.
    I run native functions inside background Isolates — no Channels, no assets.
    Give me clean data, and I’ll run the inference.”

    A silent understanding settles.

    Main thread loads the model.
    Isolate.spawn manages the stream.
    FFI runs the inference.
    Smooth frames, fast logic — the true MVP.

    The philosopher-engineer smiles.

    “No one comes here just for coffee.
    They come to grasp the ontology of Flutter.”

  • Three Wishes

    Three Wishes

    You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

    If a genie really showed up,

    I wouldn’t bother acting noble.

    First, I’d wish for health — because nothing else makes sense without it.

    Second, for wealth — because freedom costs something.

    Third, for longevity — because good things take time to live through.

    In the end, all three wishes share one simple meaning —

    a peaceful ending.
