Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 24/09/2026Things change fast. AI code review wasn’t great at the beginning of the year, but it’s gotten much better since then. I rely on it a lot now. Meanwhile, my value as a human is gradually declining 😅 010
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 28/06/2026AI is still new enough that nobody is an expert. Everyone has their own mental model, so everyone builds tools based on what they believe works. It's hard to say what's right or wrong. The result is a growing collection of scattered AI tools. Maybe we need a more systematic way to build them. 020
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 25/06/2026Using AI feels like piloting a giant robot or gundam in anime. The more things AI lets you do, the more mental energy it takes to keep everything moving. For me, three parallel tasks seems to be the limit. 010
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 17/06/2026AI makes it easy to get a prototype to 80%. But the last 20% still needs focused work, and that part is hard to parallelize. If you don’t make time to finish it, you can end up working on a lot of things without actually completing any of them. — That’s why I’m not productive last two weeks 😅 010
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2026it’s tough for me to manage multiple SNS apps. having - x for technical - facebook/instagram for life in mandarin - threads for watching what people talking about so maybe use bluesky to talk about some AI life and non-technical stuffs 🤔 010

Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 27/10/2025in the preview stage, kind of opening smaller group to get feedback and understanding the server cost 020
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 22/10/2025good question. i guess it heavily depends on the models you use. MCP basically provides context to LLM. i've seen smart model that understand my intention quite well. also seen some model doing strange stuff, try-error many times blindly 010
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 21/10/2025I hope AI can verify the generated code itself without human back-and-forth. that’s how Expo MCP server began, and I’m excited to see more interesting ideas built on top of it. 161

Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2025we can help ai grow too, by sharing failed attempts or precise information. but i really hope that result model could be retained—so we don’t have to start ai from scratch like a junior dev every time. 020
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2025it feels just like junior developers—we start without enough insight or wisdom, and only grow through trial and error. over time, those insights stack up and turn into experience. 121
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2025we train ai for long hours hoping it can retain and reuse what it learned. just like how we hope senior devs’ experience can be passed down. but what kind of memory is that, really? and how can it be preserved and reused over time? 120
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2025what does memory mean for ai? for large language models, it still mostly feels like language and text. but the kind of “experience” that turns a junior dev into a senior one—built over time, through mistakes—often can’t be captured in just words. 150
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 16/06/2025here is the patch of react-native-ios-utilities for you gist.github.com/Kudo/1b892e3... the code is basically referenced from github.com/expo/expo/bl... 100
Kudo Chien @kudochien.dev · 13/06/2025i saw the build errors coming from react-native-ios-utilities, maybe the better way is to create a pr to add those HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS to its podspec. though using config-plugins to update all HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS for all xcode projects also looks good to me. 120

The secret is no one actually reviews pull requests. And no one really wants to. Reviews are an mostly an illusion so we look productive and responsible. 10577
