Ximo (惜墨)

A keeper of the old ways of programming. I’ve spent years in software development—hand-typed my share of code, tamed my share of frameworks, and bounced endlessly between reinventing the wheel and wiring up APIs.

These days, AI has pushed me into a corner, so I’ve quietly stepped away from the keyboard and reinvented myself as:

  • 🤖 Translator of Algorithmic Mysticism — decoding AI’s “confident nonsense”
  • 🔮 Feng Shui Master of Technical Debt — divining the auspicious moment to refactor ancestral code mountains
  • ⚔️ Ferryman of Human–Machine Collaboration — carving a third path between “fully automated” and “fully manual”

​I still believe: the best comment is code, and the best code is poetry.

Only now, between the lines of my verse, silicon and carbon sing in harmony.

Note: The pen name Ximo (惜墨, “sparing with ink”) is a nod to the great Qianmo (浅墨)—and an honest admission that this blog won’t be updated very often.
