Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 30 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 99% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

19 posts held, back to 11 January 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 24 March 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Tried building an RN app one day, then Swift the next. RN was supposed to lower the cost of building mobile apps for web devs—but AI has made it a bit of a joke, as Swift turned out to be much easier to build with, with higher quality and better polish. What a time we live in. Been locked in the past few months, steadily turning every part of my vision into reality. Both the web app and iOS app are in decent shape n…
Been shipping like crazy in the past few weeks thanks to Opus 4.5, Gemini 3Pro, and Cursor’s constant evolution. Finally feeling that I’m fully unleashing my builder skills with the help of AI. Cooking something really exciting for all of you. See you next year :)
When I graduated in 2020 and took the only PM offer I got at Palo Alto Networks, I had no idea what cybersecurity really meant. I also started as a “Platform PM” without knowing what a platform was in the software world. I thought this might just be a springboard for me, and that I’d soon pivot into something else. Four years later, I’m still here, building one of the largest security platforms on the planet—Cortex,…
Many more nights of grinding & learning -> finally able to implement Notion's core editor features (and a lot more interesting stuff). Loving it. Keep building.
Two well-designed products that I came across today: https://www.featurebase.app/ https://betterstack.com/ Will enterprise SaaS markets eventually all get taken over by design-first, bottom-up startups like Notion and such? Can this level of craftsmanship be brought back to consumer products/tools again?
Two months in. Super excited almost every day to absorb, learn, and explore as much as I can. Practice makes perfect.
As a huge Command K menu user for all apps, I can't wait to share this new finding: https://cmdk.paco.me/ And 2 interesting authors: https://rauno.me/ https://paco.me/
On Nov 26, 2020, I created a repo on Github to kickstart my very first side project as a developer. In a few weeks, I got the hang of frontend coding and put together a simple React-based website: https://notionlinks.com/. It was super simple, not particularly useful given that Notion supported the feature natively soon after, but I relished every bit of the experience. I had long pondered the idea of coding, but fo…

Learned more about Netflix Studio and their Studio/Content Engineering today. Most people know Netflix by its data-driven product design for its consumer-facing apps, but a lot more is also applied on HOW they create contents "from the initial pitch of an idea to the moment our members hit play". Here is their own words describing the mission: “The task of composing a rich catalog of TV shows and movies that brings …
Once in a while you may discover something so valuable that you want to share with anyonw around you. And here it is--Notion's own words about its data model. P.S.: I've been MIA for the past few months for many reasons. Lots of learning and thinking still, but with more living in the moment nowdays. Will try to be here more often with more to share.
“Once you do, nothing will ever compare.” Feel blessed to have met the one.
Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @alanzhd. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 9 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
