As a Software Developer, I, like most developers, am digesting the new reality brought by the AI wave. As a result, we tend to lose focus on what is in front of us and get consumed by fear. That is why I am openly writing about my approach to solving this issue, and to keep […]
I was thinking about the future in this new world, where AI automates huge segments of human jobs. As a software engineer, I write and update code through AI. I ask it to make a plan based on the input I have; I review it. I ask it to write the code. It does. It […]
I like how Sandra Matz expresses the idea of life with AI. “Statically Safe Sameness,” she says as she expresses the concept of safe exploitation, decision-making, and exploration. AI always chooses the safe options, flattening and removing creativity. Not that it is not capable, but because it lacks incentives. AI is rewarded for choices that […]
I have to admit This course I am watching and expanding on is clearly written for team leads and management, and I am watching it with a software developer’s mindset. I’ve been a team lead for years in other projects, but I am living this AI era change as a normal developer. Still, I find […]
I was watching a YouTube video by Kevin Powell titled “We’re all fed up.” Related Reddit Discussion is here. Starting at 3:54, he asks if we know why that could be, noting that while code output is no longer a blocker, software engineers are still slow to deliver value. Here is my answer There is […]
In the age of AI, I find it hard to know how to approach professional growth, stay relevant, and stand out in the job market. There is always a solution to every problem, and I might have just found some new advice that helps build on the solution. I already wrote a few blog posts […]
Since I posted the previous post about self-development, I was still thinking about what would be a good answer to follow. As I went about my day, I kept it in mind. When I did my research on Google, and of course, with Gemini, and I showed my LinkedIn profile, it suggested that I follow […]
I’ve been thinking lately about how I should develop myself to future-proof my knowledge as a software developer. In the past couple of years, the industry has changed so much that I struggle with the thought of self-development that makes sense in the long term. In the past, learning and knowing programming languages, frameworks, memorizing […]
As a Software Developer for my day job, I am using a lot of AI tools paid for by the company I am working for. But the issue is, it is only for the projects I am doing for them. I really like the capabilities of AI tools nowadays, but I do not want to risk the huge bills for myself that cloud agents can consume. That is why I decided I would try to set up on my desktop with an RTX 5090. This video card has 32GB of available VRAM, and the PC has 128GB of normal RAM. As I talked to Gemini in the Google browser, it tried to convince me that […]
As a programmer with over a decade of professional experience, I’ve come to realize that programming is not just about computers. When I was starting out, I thought that I would have to work on projects with almost no human interactions. After finishing University, in my first year of internship, it was almost true. I […]
