AI is a huge stress reliever for me, removing a lot of the time-consuming tasks that put my goals at risk: * Meeting notes: Activating AI during meetings saves me from the tedious work of cleaning up hand-written notes afterward. * No configuration rabbit holes: I no longer spend hours
I deeply love working with UN agencies like WHO, WFP and UNICEF, meeting inspiring people who have dedicated their lives to the greater good. The multicultural environment is magical: these are places where you realize how much we share as humans before our cultures differentiate us. It sometimes feels like
Just updated the design of my little hospital shift scheduling system ZoFA, for the benefit of its 550 active users and for the third time in its 19 years of existence. Thanks to AI, it only took me around 6 hours of work, not even that focused. I probably wouldn’
My tendency is to write my messages with minimal words. Maximum throughput. Omit needless words. But in practice, most people need the 12 extra words of social padding to know I’m not mad at them. Also, as I learned when teaching, verbally, everybody needs a bit of repetition.

Wonderful article on how to build an (AI coding) Agent. It greatly increased my understanding of the subject. In short, it’s a CLI that pipes your requests to an LLM, but it’s also authorized to execute CLI commands on your machine and feed the output back into the
The rules of tables on a website are as predictable as gravity. As soon as you put one on a page, a client will ask to: 1. Enable column sorting. Seeing the data isn’t enough; they need to see it in order. 2. Add pagination. The initial 25 rows

In the context of a Django application (but this probably applies to any web development) I’ve been trying devin.ai. It creates pull requests to your repositories from the request you express to it through the browser or Slack. It works well and the quality of the code produced
