Technology should create room, not dependency.
If a tool makes people busier, more distracted, or more dependent on unnecessary complexity, I see that as a failure of design.
About
A long-running preference for clarity over noise.
Stan Wu (吳信典) works across software, research, writing, and conversation, with the same bias each time: simplify the interface, reduce friction, keep what lasts.
I do not think of technology as a thing to admire from a distance. I think of it as something that should serve people quietly and well. That belief has shaped research, publications, systems work, software products, public writing, and podcasting.
The common thread is long-term usefulness. I care about what stays helpful after the novelty fades, what gets simpler with time, and what lets people think and live with less friction.

Principles
Reduction is a discipline, not a style.
Subtractive design matters because it removes burdens from real use. The aesthetic result is secondary.
Long-term work leaves traces.
Research, books, systems, products, public notes, and recorded conversations all matter because they accumulate into a coherent body of work.
