Hello, openview
Hi—this is the first post on openview.dev. I want to introduce myself and this site.
About me
- I’m Terry
- Software engineer
- AppWorks School alum
- Currently working in finance
- Passionate about software
- Curious about new things
- Based in Taiwan; I’ve done a working holiday in Japan, and plan to do one in New Zealand
What you’ll find here
- Viewpoints: how I see something, and why I think that way
- Experiment notes: what I did along the way toward a goal, before reaching the end
- Explainers: approachable notes on things I’ve gotten interested in and looked into
Why this site
I started trying a career switch in 2023. Alongside regular online courses and training programs, I began working with AI from early on.
AI opened a door to change—it let me reach areas that used to feel out of reach, and it fed a lot of curiosity.
But if you only keep taking things in, without filtering and transforming them, they never become something that is yours.
Heavy input, real thinking, trying to speak at meetups, and trying to put out your own viewpoints matter.
Those outputs bring feedback from other people, different perspectives, and a clearer view of what still needs work.
This is an open viewpoint—mine, and also for you.
Stay open. I hope both of us gain something here.
