aboutme

• 一个没有什么天分和好运，但尽力而为的人.

• 观念

  • 不可知论
    • 受到休谟、罗素、维特根斯坦、波普尔、哈耶克的影响
  • 建构主义
    • 认知论话题上，支持建构主义
    • 受到 Seymour Papert、Marvin Minsky 、蒙台梭利、皮亚杰 的影响
  • “Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.” – 罗素
  • 智慧的本质是求真 道德的本质是宽容 – 罗素

• 职业

  • 近期在计算机方面，主要对 8 个项目感兴趣: Etoys、 Squeak、Dynamicland、Croquet、Sketchpad、lively、GPblocks/MicroBlocks、syndicate-lang，将它们视为软件工程的避难所。

    • 自学者，未受过正规计算机教育，上过1，2节的C语言课，因无法忍受课堂的陈腐乏味，以翘课告终。成长于Unix/开源/黑客文化，期间受过 LISP 文化的影响，之后坚定加入 Smalltalk/个人计算 阵营。
    • 视 Alan Kay 为领路人，受其影响之深，如何言说都不为过。努力成为 Alan Kay 意义上的计算机科学家。
    • 对计算机抱有跟当前领域不同的愿景, 追随 个人计算(Personal Computing) 的理想, 希望成为Alan Kay、Daniel Ingalls、John Maloney 和 Bret Victor的后继者
      • 接纳 Alan Kay “计算机科学尚未存在”/“计算机革命不是已经结束，而是尚未开始” 的观点(point of view)之后，被一种巨大的荒芜感所冲击，之后却感受到一种漫无边际的自由。
      • 正与 Jackson 一起筹建 DynaLab 实验室，希望组建东半球最强的个人计算团队。
    • 在软件工程上，早期职业生涯的规划是成为一名系统架构师。现在的兴趣是探索个人计算的过去、现在和未来。
    • 梦想乡居十年，开个小卖铺，在人潮熙攘的小店里，建造Dynamicland，供非技术人群使用。目前正在做以下储备: 资金、认知科学(建构主义)、程序语言设计(smalltalk)、面向对象(Dynamic Object Languages)、消息通信(messaging)、人机交互、设计心理学、机器视觉、开源硬件/IoT.

  • 曾在一个非营利组织里工作。追随 苏格拉底、蒙台梭利、 Seymour Papert、 Alan Kay、Bret Victor 的理想

    • 将参与 CodeLab 的工作视为人生最可贵的经历之一，在这里，我开始自由思考，追随理念，积攒勇气，避免绝望和沉沦；并学会信任同伴，真诚讨论，寻求共识。如果没有 Jackson 的慷慨资助，这些事情都无法发生；如果没有身边这些同伴，我无法独自走远。

• 教育程度

  • 受教于开放互联网，热爱并捍卫它，也受教于图书馆。
    • 尤其是, 受教于维基百科、Github、Hacker News; 苏格拉底、柏拉图(反面)、罗素、休谟、维特根斯坦、波普尔、哈耶克、Alan Kay、Bret Victor

• 生活

  • 爱周末流浪，喜欢有趣的人
  • 交游
    • 视 真挚、勇敢、善意 为可贵的品质
  • 闲暇时间，徒步, 爬山，骑车, 编程，读书，写作，滑雪
  • 恐惧社交，需要独处、阅读、冥想、户外运动、独自旅行，来恢复精力
  • 在南京开了个青旅，周末定期到那儿组织电影放映活动,目前跑到广州折腾一个非营利组织
  • 在玩电子乐滑雪
  • 近期是一个数字游民，旅居三亚，平日在图书馆里远程办公，周末或在山野徒步，或沿海岸骑行，或在海边冲浪
