Hello World! This is a journal of my life as an Ivy-League educated, ex Big Tech, middle aged Asian Dad figuring out life It is a cocktail of anxiety, existential dread, and techy know-how. I'm doing this journal as a form of therapy!
A place for all of us to hang out beyond YouTube and Substack, talk AI, tech, careers, FIRE, side projects, life, and whatever else is keeping us awake at 2 AM.
Come meet other curious, ambitious, pragmatic, and slightly cynical people.
Basically, it's the digital living room I wish I had.
A simple, fast, FREE and permanently branding-free bio link page.
And because apparently I enjoy making my life unnecessarily complicated, I built the whole thing exclusively with help from Kimi K3, a frontier open-source AI model.
Now I need some guinea pigs. 🐹
Please play around with Lnksy and let me know what Kimi and I managed to screw up.
It’s free. There’s no branding. And yes, it’s staying that way.
I’m finally scratching the livestreaming itch and putting my OBS setup through its paces: cameras, mics, scenes, overlays, and all the other techy nonsense I’ve been tinkering with.
And while I’m at it: Is the AI Bubble about to burst? 🤖💥
Come hang out, watch me potentially break my setup live, and let’s talk AI, tech, and the future!
Hey all, my first Live Stream Office Hours is on Wednesday 8/12 8pm EST 🎥
I'm finally scratching the live-streaming itch and putting my OBS Studio setup through its paces. This is basically a live test run of my cameras, microphones, scenes, overlays, and all the other techy nonsense I've been tinkering with.
While I'm here, let's talk about something a little more serious: Is the AI Bubble about to burst? 🤖💥
I'll share my thoughts on the current state of the AI boom, whether we're in an actual bubble, and what I think could plausibly happen next.
Come hang out, watch me potentially break my streaming setup in real time, and let's talk about AI, tech, and the future.
No promises that everything will work. That's half the fun. 😅

🚨 LIVE TOMORROW! 🚨
Tomorrow, Thursday Sept. 17 at 8 PM EST, we’re talking about one of my favorite subjects:
TECH LAYOFFS. 💀
AI. Offshoring. The economy. Geopolitics. And where I think the tech job market is headed over the next 1–3 years.
I’ll probably be wrong about at least some of it.
My amateur streaming setup will probably also break.
So basically, everything is going according to plan. 😂
Come hang out and bring your questions.

I’m doing another LIVE Office Hours Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8 PM EST
My amateur streaming setup will probably break, but screw it. It’s fun.
This time I want to talk about my favorite subject: TECH LAYOFFS
We’ll look at the forces reshaping the tech job market:
AI, offshoring, macroeconomics, and geopolitics.
Then I’ll make some near to medium term predictions about where things are headed.
I make no promises that I’ll be right.
But I do promise it’ll be interesting.

I recently discovered something ridiculous about social media:
Most platforms give you ONE link in your bio. 😂
So I went looking for a simple tool where I could put all my links in one place.
Then I discovered Linktree, Beacons, and the rest.
And apparently, the business model is:
"Here’s your free page. Now please buy something.”
Branding everywhere. Constant upgrade prompts. Custom-domain spam...etc
So I did what any reasonable software engineer would do:
I built my own.
Meet Lnksy 👉 lnksy.bio/
A simple, fast, FREE and permanently branding-free bio link page.
And because apparently I enjoy making my life unnecessarily complicated, I built the whole thing exclusively with help from Kimi K3, a frontier open-source AI model.
Now I need some guinea pigs. 🐹
Please play around with Lnksy and let me know what Kimi and I managed to screw up.

100,000. 🙏
I honestly can’t thank you enough.
Asian Dad Energy started as me trying to figure out life: work, family, money, technology, and everything that comes with getting older.
The fact that 100,000 of you decided to join me on that journey means more than I can say.
Because of your support, I’m now holding a YouTube Silver Creator Award.
Thank you for being here, for watching, and for figuring life out with me.
We’re just getting started.
