#22: 一人公司的現實考驗： 紀律、心理掙扎與通路推廣 | Rei Huang (Founder @ Qlite.cc )
【科技老闆日記 Ep. 22】一人公司的真實面貌：紀律、迷惘與通路推廣
本集簡介
今天的來賓是 Rei，一位擁有十多年經驗的產品設計師，也是打造「Qlite（快來報價）」的創辦人。Qlite（快來報價） 是一套專為個人公司（接案者/一人公司），報價與客戶管理系統。 在這一集中，Rei 大方分享了他如何從金融業的設計主管，一路轉型為獨立開發出多款產品的 AI 一人公司。我們將深談設計師的職涯天花板、無 AI 與 AI 時代創業的巨大轉變；他也親自走訪台北傳統店家推廣產品時，所觀察到的「白領服務藍領」市場趨勢。 更重要的是，面對 AI 帶來的衝擊，Rei 提出了如何培養無法被 AI 替代的真「Sense（判斷力）」，以及一人公司在自由背後，每天必須面對的極致自律與心理掙扎。
本集精彩亮點

AI 一人公司的兩次創業對比： 第一次創業靠熱情說服工程師與情緒動員，最後失敗收場；第二次創業善用 AI 作為夥伴，大幅降低溝通磨擦，一個人高效產出 多款產品！
警惕「認知通膨（Cognitive Inflation）」： 當 AI 能產出流暢解答，如何避免將工具的能力誤認為自己的專業？Rei 揭示檢驗自身能力的標準：「你能不能在不依賴 AI 的情況下教導他人」！
一人公司的真實考驗： 告別企業體制後，唯一的鐵律是「紀律」；每天都在「放棄」與「堅持」之間掙扎，以及為什麼產品做出來後，「通路與推廣（Distribution）」才是最難的硬仗？

#21: Surviving Indonesia's Job Market with AI and Taste | Emirpasha Kisyanto (Former Sr. Product Designer @SuperBank)
Pasha is a seasoned product designer with around 10 years of experience, having started his career in 2015. His diverse background spans from AR/VR design—where he helped create Indonesia's first virtual shopping mall experience—to branding agencies and large corporate fintech roles. He views the current AI revolution as a major product evolution that gives everyone the "superpower" to build and create, significantly blurring the traditional boundaries between designers, product managers, and engineers.
Key Learnings and Advice on Business and Technology:
Disruption: AI tools like Canva, Claude, and NotebookLM are democratizing the design process. To cut costs, businesses are now training existing staff to use AI subscriptions rather than hiring fresh graduates.
Adaptation: As design becomes more accessible, professionals must transition into problem-solving curators and art directors. Designers can use AI to rapidly iterate on prototypes created by product managers, drastically speeding up collaboration and stakeholder approvals.
Critical Skills: Because AI can easily generate templated designs, a designer's true differentiators are strong stakeholder management and a highly cultivated "taste," which is built through continuous practice and referencing.
Career Structure & Motivation: In a challenging Indonesian job market with limited junior hiring, professionals should protect their creativity by curating personal mood boards with apps like "my mind", study how other disciplines use AI, and always stay true to their personal values.

#20: Empowering Blue Collar Construction Workers With Technology | Joseph Ang (Director@KD&F Development)
Joseph is a construction and development industry leader with 16 years of experience, notably scaling his family’s business from a four-person office to an enterprise generating over $100 million in revenue. Leveraging his background in Information Technology, he spearheaded the company's transition from paper-based, analog processes into full digitization and AI integration. He views the current AI advancements as crucial for streamlining workflows, but anticipates that full automation of physical blue-collar labor is still 5 to 10 years away due to the unpredictable nature of construction environments.
Key Learnings and Advice on Business and Technology:
Disruption: Implementing accessible AI tools can radically transform traditional industries. By introducing tools like ChatGPT, companies can overcome language barriers for drafting emails, while using AI for high-level project management can effortlessly handle cash flow projections and manpower allocation.
Adaptation: The nature of manual labor is shifting toward automation. For example, as the government pushes for robotic painting, workers must upskill and pivot from being physical laborers to becoming equipment operators.
Critical Skills: While AI is highly effective for synthesizing data and crafting business strategies, human intuition is irreplaceable. The ideal framework is maintaining a "human in the loop," as experienced craftsmen are essential to evaluate surrounding parameters and troubleshoot unpredictable, real-world issues like blackouts or cable damage.
Career Structure & Motivation: In an aging industry with a shrinking workforce, retaining good talent relies heavily on making employees feel valued and appreciated. The industry needs platforms like a "LinkedIn for blue-collar workers" to allow workers to showcase their skills, maintain high performance ratings, and stay self-motivated.
