Two Chinese programmers, Cai Jingxian and Lou Tiancheng, have made the Hurun Rich List purely through their coding skills, proving that technical mastery can still lead to immense wealth.

A developer built a Gradio-based web tool that wraps Agnes AI's completely free APIs into a one-stop image and video generation studio — deployable locally, on Docker, or on Hugging Face Spaces.

A veteran developer's comprehensive guide to mastering AI Agents like Codex and Claude Code, covering everything from model selection and context management to building custom Skills and designing a Harness for autonomous development.

Key figures from Anthropic and OpenAI are declaring prompt engineering dead, replaced by Loop Engineering—a paradigm where developers design autonomous loop systems that prompt, verify, and iterate AI agents on their own.

A five-step guide to accessing DeepSeek V4 Pro and other free models through the ZenMux platform, using local tools like Cherry Studio or cc-switch.

A developer assembled an AI Hot Radar that scrapes Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and WeChat Official Accounts daily, feeds the data to an LLM for structured analysis, and serves a live dashboard — all built in two hours using Codex and RedFox Data Skills.

A Chinese developer is rebuilding his AI Agent project from scratch, laying out the 10 core modules any production-grade Agent needs — from ReAct loops and context compression to permission systems and subagents.

May 2026's top GitHub projects turn engineering workflows into reusable 'Skills', pre-index codebases into knowledge graphs to slash agent token costs, and push multi-agent orchestration into the mainstream.

FreeLLMAPI is a self-hosted API gateway that aggregates free quotas from 14 AI vendors — including Gemini, Groq, Mistral, and GitHub Models — into a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with a smart router that handles rate limits, fallbacks, and sticky sessions automatically.

A curated set of 9 Claude Code Skills — from frontend design to systematic debugging — that automate repetitive workflows and claim to double daily development efficiency.

After a year on Cursor, a Chinese developer's company swapped it for OpenAI Codex. His verdict: Cursor was a revolutionary IDE; Codex is a true super-agent that goes far beyond coding.

A full-stack AI development methodology from Dewu Technology that replaces prompt-by-prompt coding with a structured pipeline: Harness constraints, SDD-driven design, and parallel multi-agent code generation.

By 2026, the software development paradigm has shifted from manual coding to humans setting goals and AI decomposing and executing tasks. Programmers face a clear fork: stay in the execution layer or move up to design and decision-making.

Skills are reusable knowledge packages that turn AI agents from obedient tools into domain experts with enforced workflows, structured processes, and deterministic scripts.

A curated, battle-tested collection of 32 Skills and 8 MCP servers transforms Claude Code from a basic code completer into an autonomous full-stack development partner, covering everything from UI design and architecture planning to cross-session memory and Figma integration.

A Chinese engineer's six-month deep dive into Agent engineering reveals that most teams are optimizing the wrong thing—the bottleneck isn't the model, it's the environment.

A step-by-step guide to building a minimal LangChain AI demo in JavaScript, covering model initialization, invocation, and message types using Alibaba's Qwen model.

A veteran frontend architect shares blunt career advice for young Chinese developers: cultivate business acumen, consider sales, make short videos, save money, and never underestimate the power of willpower.

A solo developer's Fuzhu Bookkeeping mini-program hit 872 users in six months but earns only $10 from ads—a raw look at the gap between building a demo and building a sustainable product.
