Written for myself, casually recorded: After leaving TSMC, my first job after graduating with a master's degree in 2020, I haven't worked again, and I didn't expect that 6 years have passed. A bit stubborn, I insist on this, which can be considered a challenge of pursuing freedom in life's game. My family and friends don't understand why, but it seems they see that I'm doing okay, so they haven't said much. In short, it's quite a fantastic journey, relying on managing life, and I've unexpectedly earned enough to cover daily expenses/medical/travel, etc. I also got married in 2024, and in 2025, a lovely little daughter was just born. Although taking care of the baby every day is exhausting, the sense of happiness is really high. It's like living my life again, and every day watching her grow and change little by little brings me pure joy.
Wow! I just checked the dashboard and it turns out the new charging app got its first paying user on the very day it launched! Such a great feeling of accomplishment! ~😎🤟🏻 Got $5.07!👌🏻🤩
✅ Worth commemorating: fastest launch and payment record 11/01: Went from idea to first version in 1 hour, thanks to AI 11/04: Made a few tweaks and uploaded the iOS and Mac versions 11/07: Passed Apple review in seconds. The first user paid $5.07 that same day (from 🇯🇵 Japan 🙌🏻)

2026/11 A little update: Starting from my own needs and little ideas, I’ve built 6 apps for myself over the past three months, and they’ve all been published on Apple’s iOS App Store. It’s been pretty fun 🙌🏻
I also got myself accepted into the 2026 YC Startup School Taipei 😉😳 Looking forward to next week~
🔋 Charging your #iPhone and #Mac can be fun and cool too! 😎🤟🏻
Another little creation 👶🏻 The idea: Every time I charge my devices, I want to know how much longer it’ll take, and how fast the charger/cable actually is (its wattage). So many apps are overly complicated and cluttered. Then I thought, why not give it a try with AI? I got the first version done in an hour, uploaded it to iOS three days later, and it passed Apple’s review in seconds ✅

My 5th new app finally got approved—and it passed on the first try too 🔥
With AI booming, Apple reviews are taking forever 😳 Maybe crypto-related apps take even longer to review? This time I ended up waiting almost a whole month. The version was uploaded on 10/06… sigh 🙃
Hope the next new charging app, which I’m really happy with and think looks super cool, gets approved faster haha. Things are getting smoother and smoother—I went from idea to iOS upload in 2 days. Let’s see if the review is faster next time.
#SnapshotBitcoin #SnapshotBTC The fourth new app finally got approved on the first try 🔥 📱 iOS: apple.co/4k69FVp
But I ended up waiting a full 12 days. It really feels like AI is booming, and Apple’s review process takes forever 🙃. The fifth app is still waiting for review, with no response at all 🤣
I just did another fun one in just a day yesterday #Mainstream Shanzhai #On-chain funds Monitoring 👀 #Fund flow strength and weakness on exchanges and on-chain
🔥Also the recently hot #U.S.-stock-style token
The first version seems okay; it’s still being continuously refined. Praise the power of AI 🙃 https://altcoin.compoundwater.app
#BTC Where are we now? Currently 889 days after the halving
Yesterday I did a long/medium/short-term monitoring of #Bitcoin just for myself.
On three time scales, I look at one thing each: the long-term position, whether institutional funds have kept up on the medium-term, and whether the short-term momentum is hot.
For example, on the long-term scale: 🟡 Yellow points: cooling/low-temperature phase; it may slowly grind lower 🔴 Red points: momentum is weakening; it may be in the later stages of a bull market
The first draft seems okay—still refining it. Hope to do even better in the next bull cycle 🙃 (no more getting chopped for a third time at $300k, please 🤣) https://btc.compoundwater.app
Claude Pro subscription for $20, and now it also comes with a $100 credit and an Opus reset voucher—so awesome!
Last week I had to handle something, and by that week I ran out of tokens, so I topped up $10 thinking I’d be able to finish a small thing. Turns out it was gone in 10 minutes—damn. It would’ve been better to just buy an account month subscription 😅
Sure enough, the current AI subscription model is basically burning money—subsidizing heavy users. This month, my tokens should have exceeded $2,000 (if we go by the official pricing).
In the big AI era, I was just curious and asked—#Claude—how many tokens I’ve used so far last month and this month 🔥 I don’t really have much of a concept of it, but after looking at the chart, it feels like it might be a lot? 😅
He estimated that I used nearly ~$2,000 in August 😳 (based on official market pricing), and then next month will be higher, because in September I used a higher-end model as the main runner.
I only spent about ~$20 a month on a Pro subscription—totally worth it, right?! (In the stock market, isn’t this like a 100x golden dog… haha 🤣)
No wonder GPT is going to pause new users from subscribing to higher-tier plans—sounds like they got absolutely wrecked by demand...
