Pattern BreakersHowie Liu: Building Airtable to Feel MagicalSpreadsheets were originally designed for finance people. But when Howie Liu and his co-founders started Airtable in 2012, they had a deeper insight that a spreadsheet-database hybrid could be used by anyone for just about anything, including project management, content calendars, recipes, and even travel itineraries. Now the company is valued at an estimated $4 billion, and it’s a prime example of why showing a real difference with your product is vital for achieving breakthrough success.
In this episode, Mike Maples, Jr. of Floodgate speaks with Liu about the original idea behind Airtable and the company’s early days of development, as w...

AI时代的生存法则：Airtable CEO亲述如何重塑十年老业务，从CEO回归一线码农📝 本期播客简介本期我们克隆了：在科技和产品圈极具影响力的播客《Lenny's Podcast》本期嘉宾是无代码巨头 Airtable 的联合创始人兼 CEO Howie Liu。他将直面每个成熟企业都必须面对的生存级难题：如何在 AI 时代彻底重塑一个已经运营了十多年的业务？在这场对话中，你将听到一个有趣的趋势“IC-CEO”，即创始人 CEO 们如何回归一线，亲自写代码、做产品，以应对 AI 时代的挑战。Howie 分享了他们如何将公司重组为“快思考”和“慢思考”两个团队，以此来极大地加速 AI 项目的推进。同时，他还会深入剖析，在 AI 新世界中，产品经理、工程师和设计师需要培养哪些跨界技能才能脱颖而出，以及为什么鼓励员工去“玩”AI 产品比开会更重要。如果你正在为公司或个人如何在 AI 浪潮中成功转型而苦恼，那么 Howie 的经验将为你提供一份宝贵的实战指南。👨⚕️ 本期嘉宾Howie Liu，知名无代码平台 Airtable 的联合创始人兼 CEO。他带领 Airtable 从一个初创公司成长为估值超百亿美元的行业巨头，深刻影响了软件开发大众化的进程。在 AI 时代，他率先实践“IC-CEO”理念，回归一线，亲自推动公司的 AI 转型，为成熟企业的变革提供了极具价值的范例。📒 文字版精华见微信公众号（点击跳转）⏱️ 时间戳00:00 开场 & 播客简介IC-CEO：创始人的回归与自我革新04:33 直面危机：回应关于 Airtable 财务状况的负面传闻08:13 “IC-CEO”趋势：为什么 CEO 必须回归一线，亲自动手10:40 成为“首席品味官”：通过“玩”AI 来保持产品直觉13:57 时间管理革命：如何调整日程，为亲力亲为创造时间为速度而生：快思考与慢思考团队15:29 组织重构：将团队拆分为“快思考”与“慢思考”两个引擎18:07 “快思考”团队需要什么样的人才：具备创业精神的“全栈”思考者AI 时代的产品与增长新范式21:55 回归初心：从销售驱动重返产品驱动增长（PLG）25:44 灵魂拷问：如果今天从零开始，你会怎么做？33:09 文化变革：鼓励团队“玩”AI，而不是开会未来技能图谱：人人都是“独角兽”35:14 角色融合：AI 如何重塑产品经理、工程师和设计师41:42 产品心法：“感觉”先行，“评估”断后44:46 打破壁垒：让每个人都对最终结果负责创始人的十年反思46:30 最反直觉的经验：警惕“工业化”管理，拥抱“创始人模式”49:51 给自己的建议：永远不要远离你热爱的细节51:31 行动号召：现在是成为“构建者”的最好时代54:26 闪电问答环节：推荐书籍、影视剧、喜爱的产品和人生座右铭🌟 精彩内容💡 IC-CEO 趋势：从万米高空回到驾驶舱Howie Liu 认为，在 AI 时代，CEO 不能再满足于制定战略，必须回归一线，亲自动手写代码、做产品。只有深入细节，才能真正理解 AI 的可能性，做出有“品味”的决策，带领公司在快速变化的市场中找到正确的方向。“在我看来，每个软件产品都得推倒重来……那种站在万米高空，想着‘扔一堆人过去就能解决问题’的思路，已经行不通了。”🚀 快思考 vs. 慢思考：为 AI 重组团队为了应对 AI 带来的速度挑战，Airtable 将团队重组为两个部分：“快思考”团队负责以极高频率发布实验性的 AI 新功能，吸引用户和流量；“慢思考”团队则负责构建稳定、可扩展的核心基础设施，确保创新能够落地生根。“快思考团队做的 AI 项目能带来流量和兴奋点……而慢思考团队的工作，则能让这些早期的种子成长为大规模部署。”🤔 灵魂拷问：如果今天从零开始，你会怎么做？Howie 提出的这个战略问题，是所有成熟企业在 AI 转型中必须回答的。他认为，领导者必须诚实地评估现有资产是成功的基石还是拖累的包袱。如果答案是后者，那么最理性的选择就是卖掉公司。“如果让你带着同样的使命，从零开始再做一家公司，你会怎么用纯 AI 原生的方式去实现它？要是想不出来，那你就该找个买家了。”🎮 “玩”是第一生产力Howie 强调，应对 AI 时代最好的方式不是开会或写文档，而是亲手去“玩”最新的 AI 产品。他鼓励员工，如果需要，可以翘掉一周的会议，只为了深入体验和探索市面上所有相关的 AI 工具，从中获得真正的洞察和灵感。“如果谁想花一天，甚至一整周的时间……就为了去把那些你觉得可能跟 Airtable 相关的 AI 产品玩个遍，尽管去。”🦄 人人都是“独角兽”：AI 时代的人才新模型AI 正在模糊传统职能的边界。未来最有价值的人才将是“复合型独角兽”——无论是产品经理、工程师还是设计师，都需要在另外两个领域达到及格线以上，具备跨界思考和动手解决问题的能力。“在这三个角色里，谁要是能跨界到另外两个领域，谁的优势就特别大……作为 PM，你得让自己越来越像个复合型人才，既能做产品、会捣鼓原型，设计品味还不能差。”🌐 播客信息补充翻译克隆自：How we restructured Airtable’s entire org for AI | Howie Liu (co-founder and CEO)本播客采用原有人声声线进行播客音频制作，也可能会有一些地方听起来怪怪的使用 AI 进行翻译，因此可能会有一些地方不通顺；如果有后续想要听中文版的其他外文播客，也欢迎联系微信：iEvenight
2025-09-031h 00Airtable’s CEO Went Full Hands-On Again—And Their AI Transformation Is Actually WorkingLook, I know another “company pivots to AI” story sounds like Tuesday morning news at this point (because it basically is), but Airtable’s approach is different enough to pay attention to. After some very public criticism about the company being “dead,” CEO Howie Liu did something most executives won’t: he became an individual contributor again.
We’re talking about a $12 billion company where the CEO now codes daily and is literally their #1 AI inference cost user globally. That’s not normal executive theater—that’s someone who realized the AI era requires leaders to actually understand what they...

But Howie Liu’s approach at Airtable is genuinely different—and the results speak for themselves.
After a viral tweet declared “Airtable is dead” (based on incorrect data, naturally), Liu didn’t just pivot the company strategy. He restructured the entire organization around what he calls “fast thinking” and “slow thinking” teams, inspired by Daniel Kahneman’s work. And here’s the kicker: he became an individual contributor again, coding daily and racking up more AI inference costs than anyon...

The Crying StudentsEast Asian Chaos 东亚大乱炖What is "East Asia"? What is Northeast Asia, Asia, the Orient, the Far East, World literatures of Chinese, Sinophone, and the Sinitic Sphere respectively? Which forces have used these concepts? If East Asia is a vague and diverse geographical designation, where is it? How did it come into being? How does it interact with today's reality as a concept that has been seized by various ideologies?
“东亚”是什么？东北亚、亚洲、东洋、南洋、远东、世华文学、华语语系、汉字文化圈又是什么？如果东亚是一个模糊而多样的地理指称，它究竟占据何处？它是如何形成的？哪些势力使用过这些概念？作为一个被各种意识形态抢占和充塞的概念，它又如何与今天的现实产生互动？
From our own experience and perspective in China, which is inextricably linked to East Asia, we attempt to unfold a pluralistic East Asia.
身处与东亚密不可分的中国，我们将从自身的经历与视角出发，聊一聊“东亚”这个各种问题的集合体。

东亚概念与中国自身定位问题
