I learn by watching, not reading. I know that's not the respectable answer.

我靠看来学，不靠读。我知道这不是个体面的答案。

I don't read much. I know reading is powerful — but for the way my brain works, an hour of a real conversation does more for me than an hour of a book I'll have forgotten by morning. So I watch — mostly long podcasts and shows on YouTube. Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, Jensen Huang, Lex Fridman, Joe Rogan, The Diary of a CEO, Cleo Abram. I'd rather hear someone who actually built the thing talk for two hours than read a tidy summary of it.

我读得不多。我知道阅读很有力量——但以我大脑的运作方式，一个小时的真实对话，对我的作用 胜过一个小时、一本我到第二天早上就忘光的书。所以我看——大多是 YouTube 上的长播客和访谈 节目。Sam Altman、Dario Amodei、Demis Hassabis、Jensen Huang、Lex Fridman、Joe Rogan、 The Diary of a CEO、Cleo Abram。比起读一份工整的摘要，我更愿意听一个真正把那东西做出来的人， 聊上两个小时。

On taste, my test is simple: a site is good if I want to stay on it. Linear, Stripe, Claude, MiniMax — they pull you in and don't try too hard. Most AI-generated sites do the opposite. You can feel the sameness, and you leave. That feeling is most of why I cared about getting this one right.

说到品味，我的判断标准很简单：一个网站好不好，就看我想不想留在上面。Linear、Stripe、Claude、 MiniMax——它们能把你吸进去，又不显得用力过猛。大多数 AI 生成的网站正相反。你能感觉到那股 千篇一律，然后就走了。我之所以在意把这个网站做对，多半就是因为那种感觉。

And one idea I keep coming back to, from Andrej Karpathy: 10,000 hours. You drift, you procrastinate, you pick up a little of this and a little of that — but if you actually put the hours into one thing, you come out the other side an expert. I believe that more than I believe in talent.

还有一个我反复回想的说法，来自 Andrej Karpathy：一万小时。你会走神、会拖延、东学一点 西学一点——但只要你真把时间砸进一件事里，从另一头出来时，你就是个专家了。比起天赋， 我更信这个。
