Students going through a job disruption process. AI won’t replace entry-level jobs; it raises the starting point. You’ll use tools to build faster and attempt more—but just like a manager needs to know the codebase, you’ll need a solid grasp to supervise the tools. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP1b...

Ongoing leadership concerns with Twitter/X and recent events in the US—particularly those undermining democracy and dismantling scientific, health, and educational institutions—compelled me to reassess my participation. These developments are fundamentally misaligned with my values.

Until now, I resisted the urge to leave Twitter/X, despite significant concerns regarding its leadership. Looking away was not an option; I needed to make my own informed judgment.
March 30, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Today, I deactivated my Twitter/X account.
