About
CJ (Steven Yu)
Web developer based in Taiwan.
Min Content is the independent studio I run, and this site is its technical publication. The name comes from CSS’s min-content. I liked the idea of letting the content decide how much space it needs. It still feels like a good principle for how things look and how they read.
When I read or write a technical explanation, I want to understand why it holds up: the model it starts from, what it assumes, and where it stops matching what the software actually does.
Some of that work ends up here when I think it might help another developer—by saving a few wrong turns, making a difficult question easier to name, or taking a familiar explanation a little further. I try to show how I got there, leaving enough of the reasoning on the page for the conclusion to stand on its own.

What I write about
I focus on JavaScript, TypeScript, React, web architecture, security, and AI-assisted development. The goal is not to repeat API documentation, but to explain the model behind a problem, the constraints that matter in production, and how to choose an approach you can defend and maintain.
