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. At 4:25, 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 no […]
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 […]

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.

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.

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 wanted to write a blog post in the WordPress editor, and you expected some help from Grammarly. 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 […]
What is NVM Many times, when I am working on a new NodeJS project, I have colleagues who have never heard of NVM or Node Version Manager. As complicated as this 3-letter acronym sounds, it is a very simple tool to use, but it has a great impact on the development experience. Why to use […]
