Jiang Yang

Jiang Yang (匠杨) is the founder of Paperboy and one of the guests in 人类和 AI Agent 的最佳配合方式，还没被发明｜对谈 Paperboy. He frames Paperboy around the claim that the best way for humans and agents to work together has not yet been invented. His prior projects include Millian and Same.Dev, which the source uses to establish his background in developer tools and fast AI-assisted product prototyping.
