Chen Yusen
Chen Yusen is a technology executive at Alibaba who currently serves as CEO of DingTalk, the company's workplace communication platform. Born in 1992, he was appointed to lead DingTalk amid a management overhaul and is focused on integrating AI agents into the platform. He is a cybersecurity expert and former startup founder, having previously served as CEO of Chaitin Tech. He is known for articulating the disposable software thesis, which posits that future software may be created on-demand, used temporarily, and discarded, enabled by low-cost AI-assisted coding.
“I previously communicated with Alibaba's Chen Yusen — he also mentioned that he thinks a possible future form for software is disposable-type: many of your needs are relatively temporary and personalized, and you can build it with low cost via vibe coding, use it for a week or two, and then maybe you don't need it anymore.”
