Just finished Guns, Germs, and Steel. It made me wonder: is there a "software" equivalent to this "hardware" of human history? Something like Religion, Finance, and Free Markets? (Gemini recommended Sapiens 📖). Thinking about these grand narratives brings me back to the present. Will AI become as foundational to our civilization as those six words? It’s undeniably a massive, era-defining shift. AI is already fundamentally supercharging productivity, especially in heavy-lifting modern labor like writing code. 💻 But in an era and industry undergoing drastic change, dwelling purely on macro-trends is useless. To achieve outsized results, you have to embrace the chaos and take risks. What’s much more grounded is figuring out how to build something with AI, or simply how to leverage it to make money. 🛠️💰 And if you haven't figured it out yet? Don't panic. Statistically speaking, this is just like any other tech revolution. The normal distribution applies: only a small minority will hit the jackpot, and some will inevitably lose money. Stay grounded. 📊🧠

I used to find that a bird would fly up with a branch. Today, I went to the top floor and found the bird's nest it had built. I walked over and it flew away, leaving behind its five eggs.

Are there any recommended free versions of Vibe Island?

In the AI era, not everyone will be able to learn vibe coding—in fact, only a small fraction of people will be able to master it! This is one of the principles I particularly enjoy applying when thinking through problems: the normal distribution.

This is very good, but there are still some shortcomings. For example, there will be no prompt sound when I need approval on my computer. I solved this problem with vibe coding.

In my opinion, young people with dreams shouldn’t join big tech companies.
