We disappnt those we love, and those we love disappnt us. Friends, Parents, Children, Spouse - the whole cast falls short, reptdly, incldg you. None of us are perfect, live fully by forgiving yourself and others. Bcs if we were perfect, we wldnt need this deep existential crisis

Woke up to this "high priority" task from my 13-year-old. 😂 He spent a week negotiating with our 18+ apartment gym and finally got them to agree... on the condition I send an email. This was his follow-up. That "Now!! Do it!"... kid's got persistence.

I spent my weekend building a flashcard app using 3 different AI tools to see which was best. The contenders: Google AI Studio, Replit, and Emergent. The results were surprisingly different. Here’s the breakdown 👇

🥈 Emergent: Usable but buggy. Took the longest but was the only tool to nail a specific API requirement. 🥉 Replit: The code was unusable. Didn't seem to handle the detailed prompt well.

Key takeaway: The quality of AI-generated code varies WILDLY but fast improving and really fantastic. For this task, Google AI Studio was the clear champion. What's your favourite AI tools? Comment (Prompt & post refined w/ #Gemini) #AI #DevTools #Coding #GoogleAI #GenAI

99% of the time, when I’m upset, sad, anxious or angry, it’s because I’m hungry! Food is a versatile medicine for moods.

Good executives don’t just look at the metrics, they create the dashboards.

Evaluating a model on training data is like asking your mom if you look good.

Love the reaction of KG kids when they see their teacher outside of school for the first time. It’s like, ‘How did this animal get out of the zoo? Is it safe to approach?’ 😂

The reason it's so depressing to read philosophy is that you realise every thought you've ever had has been thought before by some dude in 500 BC

Trick: Feeding kids curd rice, a banana & lunch leftovers before heading out for dinner for peaceful enjoyment. Kids are catching on—my daughter asked, ‘Why are you filling my stomach?’ 😂
