AI testing storyteller. Writing the 36 Stratagems series — ancient Chinese military tactics meet modern AI system meltdowns. 15yr QA → building AI test framework.
A fictional tech-thriller series mapping China’s Thirty-Six Stratagems onto modern-day AI QA, auditing, procurement and observability.
Six recurring characters navigate broken benchmarks, sales traps and corporate ego. Built upon my 15-year real-world QA experience.
Hey, I'm Hema 👋
Developer, writer, and creator of Dev Opportunity Radar, a weekly series published every Friday on DEV, helping people discover opportunities they might otherwise miss.
I started following AI, Ego & the 36 Stratagems from the beginning and have loved it so far. Now waiting for the last six stratagems. Curious to see what’s coming next 😄
I have followed your series @xulingfeng one comment by comment, and I am a fan. Ancient Chinese military strategy mapped onto modern AI QA and procurement should not work as well as it does. The fiction is the delivery mechanism, but there is fifteen years of real QA experience underneath it, and you can tell.
Not to mention! I got your AI, Ego & Regret paperback. My Sensei
