I just spent an unreasonable amount of time turning 270k+ Steam reviews into an NLP playground.

If you’re into NLP, transformers, or real-world text messiness, the full case study is here: buthonestly.io/programming/...

Ever wondered how PHP, the language behind so much of the web, came to be? Turns out, its origin story is a lot like Corn Flakes – a truly brilliant invention that happened entirely by delightful accident.

I put together a practical guide on building a convolutional neural network with Python and TensorFlow.

I’m curious how others approach model structure, overfitting control, and dataset prep in their own projects. What would you do differently and why?

Why is AI-assisted coding considered smart, but AI-assisted writing feels controversial?

I tried to map where the real line sits between human intention and machine help.

Curious where you stand on this.
