我在Manus学到的三课

I joined Manus on July 27th. Just under five months later, on December 17th, we announced that we had crossed $100M in ARR in 8 months after launch — the fastest startup to ever reach that milestone.

我在7月27日加入Manus。不到五个月后的12月17日，我们宣布在发布后8个月内达到了1亿美元的年经常性收入——这是最快达到这一里程碑的初创公司。

Making this work has been intense. I've been in the office five days a week, often from 10 AM to midnight.

让这一切运作起来非常紧张。我每周在办公室待五天，通常从上午 10 点到午夜。

But as a result I've shipped more in this period than any other time in my life. It's been really rewarding to say the least from

但因此，我在这个时期的交付量超过了我生命中的任何其他时间。可以说，这段经历非常有成就感

and a few more internal projects that I can't talk about

What is Manus?

什么是 Manus？

Manus is a general-purpose AI agent. You give it a task—research a topic, build a website, analyze a dataset, automate a workflow—and it figures out how to get it done across multiple steps, tools and domains without needing you to micromanage.

Manus 是一个通用的 AI 代理。你给它一个任务——研究一个主题，构建一个网站，分析一个数据集，自动化一个工作流程——它会在多个步骤、工具和领域中找出完成任务的方法，而无需你进行微观管理。

At Manus, a feature has to be 屌 (diào)—fucking sick or it doesn't ship. Any model with a basic harness can build a landing page. We're chasing the tasks that make you go "holy shit." High ceiling, complicated, the kind of thing that seems like it shouldn't work until it does.

在Manus，一个功能必须是屌 (diào)—非常酷，否则就不发布。任何带有基本挂钩的模型都可以构建一个着陆页。我们追求那些让你感到“哇，太厉害了”的任务。高天花板，复杂，似乎不应该有效的事情，直到它真的有效。

What I've Learnt

我学到的东西

When things move that fast, you learn a few things. Here are three lessons that I've learnt over the last few months.

当事情发展得如此迅速时，你会学到一些东西。以下是我在过去几个月中学到的三条经验。

Your Responsibility Doesn't End When You Ship
你的责任并不会在发货时结束
Prototypes over Plans
原型优于计划
Don't Pigeonhole Yourself
不要给自己设限

Your Responsibility doesn't end when you ship

你的责任并不会在发货时结束

It's tempting to think your job is done once the feature is live. Code works, tests pass, PR merged—time to move on. But that's only half the job.

一旦功能上线，很容易就会觉得你的工作完成了。代码正常工作，测试通过，PR 合并——是时候继续前进了。但这只是工作的一半。
