我做开源的初心，其实源于一个非常简单的故事。大一那年，我自学完了计算机专业的全部核心课程。我从初中起就痴迷于编程，这让我得以跳出大学课程设计的条条框框，按照自己对计算机科学的整体理解，去规划和执行一个更高效率的学习路径。当时，我把所有的笔记和心得都整理后分享了出去，没想到在同学中获得了巨大的反响。

那一刻，一种久违的快乐击中了我——那是我第一次用代码做出产品，第一次感受到技术能为他人创造价值时的、那种最纯粹的成就感。我突然领悟到一个对我而言无比重要的东西，我称之为“价值杠杆”（Value Leverage）：我投入的有限时间，被成倍地放大，为他人创造了远超我个人付出的价值。这，就是我心中最艺术的创造模式。

这个信念也彻底塑造了我对“创造”本身的看法。当今的主流都在提倡专精，但我更信奉达芬奇式的全能发展。一个创造者，必须对从代码到设计、从用户心理到商业逻辑等的全过程有深刻的理解和掌控。因此，我从不把自己局限在“程序员”的身份里，当一个作品需要我去承担更多角色时，我会毫不犹豫地投入进去，因为最终的目标是作品的完整性，而非个人的职能标签。

这让我想起乔布斯曾说的，伟大的艺术家和伟大的工程师是相似的，因为他们都渴望进行自我表达。20世纪70年代，计算机成为人们表达创造性的方式。像达·芬奇和米开朗琪罗这样伟大的艺术家在科学方面也很出色。米开朗琪罗不只是会雕刻，他还了解很多采石的知识。 

所以，我决心建立一家基业长青的公司。在这里，唯一的目标，就是我们是否创造出了让自己激动、并能为用户带去巨大价值的艺术品。

In that moment, a long-lost feeling of joy struck me—it was the purest sense of achievement, the same one I felt when I first built a product with code and experienced how technology could create value for others. I suddenly grasped something incredibly important, a concept I call “Value Leverage”: The limited time I invested was magnified, creating far more value for others than the sum of my individual effort. This, to me, is the most artistic form of creation.

This belief has also completely shaped my view on creation itself. While the mainstream today champions specialization, I believe more in a Da Vinci-esque, holistic development. A creator must have a profound understanding and command of the entire process, from code to design, from user psychology to business logic. Therefore, I never confine myself to the role of a "programmer." When a work requires me to take on more roles, I dive in without hesitation, because the ultimate goal is the integrity of the work, not my personal job title.

This reminds me of what Steve Jobs once said: great artists and great engineers are similar because they both yearn for self-expression. In the 1970s, computers became a medium for creative expression. Great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were also brilliant in science. Michelangelo didn't just sculpt; he also knew a great deal about quarrying.

Therefore, I am determined to build a company that is built to last. Here, our sole objective is this: are we creating works of art that excite us and bring immense value to our users?
