A Not so small Chat ..

When traversing the world of modern technology, one cannot ignore the elephant in the chat room: ChatGPT. This artificial intelligence marvel has cemented its place as the go-to oracle for our digital inquiries. But to grasp its significance fully, we must also consider the interplay with other hot-button topics, notably the quaintly-named “Net Neutrality.” This legal right ensures that the Internet remains a level playing field for all hazardous cats and mustachioed mice ,  at least in theory. The dream is an unfettered internet, free from the sinister clutch of favoritism by internet service providers, delivering every soul the same...

A "Global" Reality Check

Every time you hear someone talk about the “job market,” odds are it comes with a side dish of doom, served hot from Silicon Valley. It’s either: “The robots are taking over!” or “Everyone’s getting laid off at Google!” or my personal favorite, “The only way to land a job now is to hack the ATS with an AI-generated resume optimized for a keyword salad.” The problem? That’s not the job market. That’s just… America. More specifically, it’s just a niche sliver of it.Let’s talk real: "Globally", the so-called job market is not one big, unified, futuristic, all-seeing, algorithmic beast....

Double-Edged Code

AI coding tools are heralded as the ultimate sidekicks, speeding up workflows, catching bugs before they manifest. For a lone coder navigating the digital wilderness, these tools are like a trusty compass, and a major productivity booster.But what happens when the same AI superpowers venture into the chaotic cosmos of a development team? Suddenly, the shiny badge of "productivity booster" becomes a little tarnished. Because while AI tools can mimic the code styles, suggest solutions, and even anticipate developer needs, they are inherently designed for solo developers charting their own code cosmos. When multiple team members employ these tools, things...

Function Over Flash: Rediscovering WordPress Through Usefulness

WordPress often sits in the background of web conversations, powering over 40% of the internet while rarely being the center of excitement. It's familiar, and sometimes frustrating, but undeniably dependable. Its real strength lies in the breadth and flexibility of its ecosystem as a mix of open-source experimentation, commercial tools, and small innovations that, over time, shape how websites are built and managed. This ecosystem isn’t loud or flashy, but it rewards curiosity and persistence.Cool Surprise In a recent deep dive, I found myself navigating through WP Mayor, a WordPress review and resource site. It’s not new, nor is it revolutionary,...

AI Is a Mirror of Management

In the rush to adopt artificial intelligence, we often focus on what it can do. We celebrate its ability to generate text, create images, write code, and even analyze data faster than we can. But the more we integrate it into our daily work, but, despite its futuristic aura, it operates much like any assistant. It relies on the instructions you give it, interprets them to the best of its training, and delivers an output. If the input is vague, the output will be inconsistent. If the expectations are unclear, the results will be unpredictable. In this way, AI becomes...

Keep it "Boring"

There’s a quiet but growing unease among developers who use AI tools to help them write code. It’s not about whether AI is useful, it absolutely is. It’s about something deeper, something that most discussions skip over: consistency.In software development, consistency is sacred. It’s what separates a reliable system from a chaotic one. It’s the reason why design patterns exist, why teams follow style guides, and why entire frameworks evolve around conventions. Predictability is the lifeblood of maintainability. When you look at a codebase six months after writing it, you expect to see logic that flows in a familiar, uniform...

Cyclical Exuberance

In Irrational Exuberance, Nobel prize winner Robert Shiller chronicled how markets fall in love with their own stories. Prices climb not on fundamentals but on faith, the collective conviction that the future will be brighter simply because everyone believes it will be. For Shiller, this was not just a technical problem of valuation, it was a psychological drama in which optimism becomes a kind of mass hallucination.The late 1990s provided his perfect case study: the dot-com bubble. Companies with little more than a website and a slogan were valued in the billions. Venture capital poured into anything ending with “.com.”...
