Good systems are boring. The people who build them usually aren't.

"Attention" in transformers is a weighted average. The name sold more papers than "weighted average" would have.

About 80% of your neurons sit in the cerebellum, not the cortex. Neuron count is a bad proxy for almost everything.

Vibe coding works until the vibe needs a database.

Hot take: code review is now the most underpaid skill in software.

"AI will replace developers." It replaced typing. Typing was never the job.

The senior skill used to be writing 400 lines. Now it's finding the one line in 400 that lies.

Missing tool, two options: wait for a startup to build it, or spend a weekend. The weekend is cheaper.

"Works on my machine" used to be the joke. Now it's "works in my context window."

No single dot knows about the pattern. Electrons go through two slits one at a time and land as single dots. The first few hundred look like noise. Then they speed up, from a few per second to more than 3,000, and after 10,000 the dots have drawn the stripes of a wave. The histogram at the end counts the real dots, and the curve over it is the formula, not a fit. (Visualizing the Bologna Experiment - 1974)

Myth: neural networks work like the brain. Fact: they borrowed a diagram from 1943 and kept the name.

Be honest: how much of your repo could you explain without opening a chat?

Vibe coding took us from: "I don't know how, but it works" to "I don't know how, but it works, Claude"

Snake with no apple. While you play, a model of your own turns guesses each move before you make it. Where it expects you to be 4 moves from now, a ghost appears, and 0.6s later it is a wall. One player with a habit lasts about 89 moves, one that turns as often but at random about 121.

I had to dive into game development for fun to discover how hard it is to create a game that makes sense.

Changing AI subscription every 6 weeks is not the solution to make more money.
