Working with AI for coding and DevOps is a bit like working with a very eager intern who never gets tired, never blinks, and will happily hand you a 20 step plan before you have finished typing “hi.” It is powerful, impressive, and occasionally exhausting if you do not slow it down or speed it … Read more
Algorithmic thinking sounds like something you need a hoodie, a whiteboard, and a suspicious amount of coffee to achieve. In reality, you do it constantly. You do it when you pack for a trip (socks first, then shirts, then the item you forgot twice). You do it when you cook (do not add pasta after … Read more
Maurice de Vlaminck sounds like a man who should either be dueling at sunrise or dramatically removing gloves before declaring, “Sir, your brushwork offends me.” And honestly? He kind of was. Vlaminck was one of the headline troublemakers of Fauvism, the early-1900s moment when a group of painters looked at reality, shrugged, and said, “What … Read more
If Episode 2 was about teaching your computer how to remember things and make decisions, Episode 3 is about teaching it how to do the same thing more than once without you losing your will to live. Because sooner or later, every beginner writes something like: “I need to print 10 lines…” …and then types … Read more
For years, iRobot was the robot vacuum company. Not a robot vacuum company. The robot vacuum company. If you said “Roomba,” people nodded like you’d just said “Kleenex” or “Google it.” This was the firm that convinced millions of humans to trust a hockey puck with a motor to roam their homes unsupervised.

If Episode 1 was the friendly tour guide waving at the front doors of CS 101, Episode 2 is the moment you actually walk inside and someone hands you the keys to a very literal robot. Not a smart robot. A “read everything exactly as written” robot. The kind that will confidently follow your instructions … Read more
Andre Derain is one of those artists who makes you suspect the early 1900s were basically a long-running group chat called “What if we just… ignored reality?” And then everyone replied with: “Bet.” He was French, born in 1880, and he helped kick off Fauvism right alongside Henri Matisse which is essentially the art movement … Read more
There I was, minding my own business, happily prompting away, when suddenly my AI decided it was time for a cultural exchange program. One paragraph in clean, confident English. The next one? Bonjour. No warning. No apology. Just vibes. If you have ever wondered why ChatGPT sometimes slips into another language mid-response, you are not … Read more
Somewhere in an alternate universe, the web stayed polite. Pages loaded. Links were blue. Nothing moved. Nobody got asked to accept cookies. Your toaster never needed a firmware update. And then JavaScript showed up and said, “What if… the button did something?” If you’ve ever wondered how we went from “Here is a nice webpage … Read more
Some programming languages kick down the door wearing leather jackets. C# shows up on time, shakes everyones hand, asks if anyone has dietary restrictions, and then quietly builds an entire business platform before lunch. And after lunch? It makes a game. Or a mobile app. Or an API that runs half your life. Politely. If … Read more
