42 With AI Here, Can I Still Survive as a Super IC? — "The Programmer's AI Anxiety Trilogy Part Two: The Individual Chapter". In the previous article, we discussed the challenges grassroots management faces in the AI era, as well as some changes in the functions, qualities, and skills of this position. Now we are going to talk about the individual: I don't want to be a leader, or leadership positions are limited, and I can't or don't have the opportunity to be one. So, as a frontline developer, can I take the route of the "Ultimate Employee"? Can the path of being a super IC (Individual Contributor) empowered by AI work, and what challenges and skill requirement changes will I encounter? The Gap Between People Has Been Stretched to Infinity During the Spring Festival last year in 2025, I said something: AI has stretched the gap between people to infinity. The gap between people used to be large, but never as ridiculously large as it is now. How ridiculous? Let's look at a statistic—how many tokens can you spend in a day? I think 100 million...

41 The 'Three Axes' of Front-line Management No Longer Work in the AI Era —Part 1 of the 'Programmer's AI Anxiety Trilogy: The Leadership Edition.' Recently, some things happened that made me truly feel this change from an observational perspective. Previously, this sensation wasn't obvious, but from the perspective of front-line execution now, AI has indeed leveled everyone up. Note, it's not about 'one person managing an Agent team'—that's nonsense; that's not an upgrade. The real upgrade is: you direct the Agent to do the work and check if the final delivery meets expectations. Isn't that exactly what a leader does? By directing an Agent, I am already in the role of a leader. So the background of this era is—everyone has leveled up. I used to be an executor, now I've become a leader; I used to be a leader, now I've become...

40 At 30, It's Time to Start Self-Media After turning 30, I had a very noticeable change—I think more, I think deeper, and I started looking at many things from a build perspective. For example, eating a Jianbing (Chinese crepe) on the street: before 30, I just thought about eating it; after 30, I think about rent, storefront, labor, daily sales, and time costs. Now, when looking at many industries, products, and companies, I don't just watch the show; I start to ponder the tricks of the trade—including various ways to make money, and ways to teach people to make money, I ponder the mechanics of it all. Back to self-media. "At 30, it's time to start self-media"—this is actually clickbait. My true opinion is: Ever since the concept of self-media emerged, everyone should have been doing it. First, self-media is a megaphone. In the Internet era, self-media equals the right to speak. Ordinary people's voices get drowned in the overwhelming sea of information, and self-media is equivalent to building a loud...

39 I Wrote 8MB of Prompts in Six Months And this is just what I wrote at home; I spend most of my day at work, and what I wrote at the office is separate. Nearly 6000 lines. In other words, over the past six months, I sent 6000 sentences to AI, averaging 1000 sentences per month and 30 sentences per day. What does this order of magnitude mean? Take a look at yours and compare. The time I spend on AI programming far exceeds 12 hours a day—it's around 18-19 hours daily. Today, I want to propose a viewpoint: AI programming/prompt writing requires deliberate practice. I have no other secret but that I am practiced. This is a technical sharing session I did at my company. I'm posting it here as well, containing some methodologies/radical views, with no sensitive information.

Below is my sharing transcript Speech Script (Agent Full-Stack Engineer) Slide 01 · Cover Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time...

38 The Information Age Has Truly Arrived In the early morning, while AI is writing code, I'm listening to The Water Margin—yes, Water Margin. "The tide of the Qiantang River comes; today I finally know that I am I." Soul-stirring (this piece has little to do with AI programming; I'm mainly sharing a few tips on how to use AI). Ask immediately if you don't understand after listening. In one minute, I gained knowledge—truly at my fingertips, true freedom of knowledge. The Internet era, which we call the Information Age: you can know everything with a search on Baidu; if you want to learn real things, there are open courses from prestigious universities, Khan Academy, and Wikipedia—information is readily available. However, why didn't I get into Tsinghua University? Because although information is public and high-quality, there's still a cost to acquiring it: using a discerning eye on Baidu to filter useful, high-quality info, then understanding and internalizing it. But AI has reduced this cost to zero. As you just saw, it's just a matter of speaking—available instantly—true knowledge equality. This is...

37 YOLO Mode: Pedal to the Metal This is a question beginners often ask, and I've answered it for many people. While it's a beginner's question, veterans who know YOLO should also take a look, because I'll also share 3 small tips related to YOLO (to avoid a boring, purely basic tutorial). Let me briefly explain what YOLO is. Short for 'You Only Live Once', which simply translates to 'Life is short, floor the accelerator' (you only live once). The meaning isn't important; just remember the following commands. qoder --yolo claude --dangerously-skip-permissions codex --yolo Run whichever one you use most; one line is enough. If you use it frequently, you can create an alias and let the AI help you set it up. Tell the AI this: Wrap the above command into a she...

36 'AI Programming 2.0' Dedicated Debugging Commands This post is worth 20 RMB; sharing 2 dedicated debugging commands. (Why was it selected for AI Programming 2.0? Because debugging is necessary regardless of the version.) I've used the first one myself for half a year; a colleague even solved a bug in 1 hour that they couldn't fix in 2 days using this command—he's a C++ developer. The second one is an original from today, and it works quite well, so I'm sharing it too. Without further ado, here are the commands (note, as usual, based on RIPER-5 Rules): Effect of Command 1: Dedicated Debugging Command 1: Specializes in intractable issues, with excellent results for complex bugs. Combining relevant code, repeatedly perform analysis-hypothesis-verification-exclusion on the problem phenomenon, and write the process and conclusions into a file until the conclusions converge to 1-2 possibilities RESEARCH The core of this command is telling the AI the human approach to debugging...
