"Software is people."
Even with AI, this remains true:
• LLMs follow patterns; humans create solutions.
•.Algorithms simulate; humans empathise.
• Chatbots flow; humans build relationships.
The future is not AI vs humans — it’s AI + humans. Thoughts?

Lesson in managing failure from my 2.5-year-old:
I accidentally punched his favourite ball. Instead of being upset, he smiled and said, "It’s a ladybug!"
What I saw as a mistake, he turned into something creative. A reminder: failures can be opportunities in disguise.

Two days ago, my wife and I baked Christmas ornaments from applesauce & cinnamon.
Double-checked the instructions:
- 200°C, 2 hrs.
Or so we thought. Turns out it was 200°F.
The result? Charcoal. 😂
But we kept them—imperfect & oddly charming. Quirks make the best memories.
