Long-term thinking · Simplicity · Technology for people

Tools should serve people, not the other way around.

Stan Wu (吳信典) builds products, writes, researches, and keeps returning to the same question: what helps people live and think more clearly over time?

  • Long-term usefulness matters more than short-term novelty.
  • Simplicity is not less ambition. It is less friction.
  • Good design removes burden before it adds features.
  • Technology should make life clearer, not busier.
  • I care more about durable work than noisy attention.
