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 […]
The other day, I discussed with a colleague how to create a mapped PATCH object, that we wanted to send down the network. The issue was that we wanted to keep the code readable and easy to maintain, without loops, maps, and complex trickery. We used many libraries down the pipe, which complicated the issue, […]

You installed the browser extension for Grammarly, logged in, and might even have paid for a subscription, but it still does not show up. You tried it on other websites, and it ran flawlessly, but not on […]
