2026 June Thought Notes: The Pushing-Away Comes Before the Reason for Pushing Away

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:59:59 +0800

In June I came back from Laos to Shenzhen. The dense, active records of the entire month were squeezed into the last ten days (June 21 to 30) — about thirty-nine conversations, almost all in Chinese. On the surface I was slack. Underneath I was thinking through hard things at high density. This piece breaks June into seven layers: the deepest psychological line — "I finally saw the mechanism of how I push people away" — and how the same move lives inside my career; Agent architecture and technical engineering; what to do and not do in product direction; the founder studies and the lesson that "incentive structure colonizes personality"; a handful of epistemological knives; and finally back to my own situation today — that the essence of disorientation is not insufficient effort, it is not yet recognizing what problem I have to solve.

2026 May Thought Notes: On the Edge, I Recognize Myself Through Action

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Sun, 31 May 2026 23:59:59 +0800

In May I did not write a single flomo note. I barely posted on social. It was a month of intentional disconnection — disconnecting from the tools other people designed to record me, disconnecting from the Shenzhen default script for how a life should be lived, and throwing myself into the cafés, caves, bars and riverbanks of Laos to see, in the absence of any external frame, what I am actually pulled toward, when I light up and when I go hollow. This is a deep recap of that one month: from the alms-giving in Luang Prabang to the wild adventure of Vang Vieng, from the post-water-festival emptiness in Vientiane to a month-plus of slow life there; from reading myself as a risk-seeker, to the realization that the unity of knowing and doing is the answer, to the engineering thought of compiling a person into a self-model, and finally to the disorientation after returning home and a life roadmap I now have to design myself.

Dissecting open-lovable: An App Generator That Tames the Raw API Without an Agent Framework

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:30:00 +0800

A full dissection of firecrawl/open-lovable (27k★, paste a URL and get a working React app in seconds), from product to code. Its most interesting trait isn't that it generates code — it's that it uses no agent framework, no Claude Agent SDK, no native tool-calling. Instead it hand-rolls an entire harness on top of the raw LLM API: a text DSL protocol, streaming regex parsing, truncation detection and recovery, manual context orchestration, plus a swappable cloud sandbox layer (E2B / Vercel Sandbox). This is a case study in taming the raw API.

Ignite and Settle (Part 3): Anxious Attachment — Why We Keep Seeking Reassurance in Love

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 20:20:00 +0800

Anxious attachment is not about loving too much. It comes from repeatedly experiencing as a child that love would come but might not stay, that people would draw close and then suddenly disappear. So in adulthood the anxious person doesn't distrust love — they fear love disappearing. This piece lays out the origins, typical patterns, the anxious-avoidant trap, and the path of repair, all in one place.

Ignite and Settle (Part 2): Avoidant Attachment — Why We Want to Run When Someone Gets Close

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 20:10:00 +0800

In the Chinese context, what people often call avoidant personality is more precisely avoidant attachment. Its core is not no need for love but a slowly learned lesson from childhood: expressing needs does not work, getting close is not safe, carrying it alone is steadiest. This piece lays out where it grows from, what its underlying beliefs look like, how it typically shows up, and step by step how it can be repaired — both with others and with yourself.

Ignite and Settle (Part 1): The Quality and Time of Companionship — and Why We Turn Away Just as We Come Close

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 20:00:00 +0800

Quality and time in companionship are not a choice between two things. They are two different systems doing two different jobs. Quality lights the fire. Time settles it to the bottom. This piece pulls apart the responsiveness system and the habituation system, then uses how the amygdala actually works to explain why safety is not no threat here but no surprise here. Finally we return to the most common and least recognized move of all: why we turn away just as we are about to come close.

Whether you are building your first Agent PoC or pushing toward production, there are design patterns here you can take away.

The Agent Engineering Map: Where Does That 98.4% of the Work Actually Live?

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:30:00 +0800

A panoramic map that treats Agent Engineering as a discipline. Starting from the widely cited claim that only 1.6% of Claude Code is AI decision logic while 98.4% is infrastructure, it walks the eight pillars one by one — orchestration, context, memory, tools, reliability, evaluation, cost, governance — explaining the gap each fills, its minimal implementation, and its failure boundary. It fuses 2025 to 2026 frontline engineering from Anthropic, OpenAI, Cognition, Manus, and Temporal, and lands on one line: the model is bought, the harness is built, and your entire engineering leverage lives in that 98.4%.

Agent Identity: From Locke to OpenClaw

熊鑫伟 (Xinwei Xiong) — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 20:00:00 +0800

AI agent amnesia isn't a functional defect—it's a fundamental gap in the trust account. Starting from Locke's 1689 theory of identity, this article dissects the complete engineering stack for agent identity continuity in 2026: file-as-identity (SOUL.md paradigm), Harness as environmental condition, four-layer memory architecture and Gene Capsule protocol, self-positioning in multi-agent topology, and evaluation as the ultimate identity verification challenge. For practitioners building or designing AI agent systems, and researchers deeply thinking about the boundaries of AI autonomy.
