People have asked me how I use AI, particularly ChatGPT, to write or edit my articles. I’ve always proudly admitted I don’t use it — at all. Some of you may find this surprising given that, firstly, I write about AI, and secondly, I presumably know quite well the potential and p...

pandas 2.0 was released in early April and brought many improvements to the new Copy-on-Write (CoW) mode. The feature is expected to become the default in pandas 3.0, which is scheduled for April 2024 at the moment. There are no plans for a legacy or non-CoW mode. This series of posts will e...

Pydantic is the go-to data validation python library. With about 20 million downloads per week, it is among the top 100 python libraries. Pydantic V2 was recently released (with a rust backend) — it is 5–50X faster than V1! The release also introduces many new brea...

It was a coldish day in April 2020. A colleague told me about this thing called Medium and thought I’d give it a go. I was writing on the internet anyway. Badly. But I was writing. And for free, I couldn’t believe there was a website out there that might pay me to do the thing I loved...

Hello, fellow word enthusiasts! Imagine a bee, diligently buzzing from flower to flower, collecting nectar, and contributing to the hive. A buzzing hive, a community of bees working tirelessly, each one playing its part in the grand scheme of things. Now, take that image and apply it to the world of...

Mind mapping is an excellent way to visualize information. Up until recently, I used apps or a pen and paper to organize information into a mind map, but I just learned a way to organize your information right in the Word Application. Now, it is even easier to outline an article in this visual wa...

Having a full-time job is tough, isn’t it? You run from one meeting to another (or shift from one Zoom screen to the next). There are frantic calls in crises. Some urgent office event comes up. Meanwhile, your manager allocates task after task to your team. Where’s the time to do y...

I decided to crunch the numbers on how much I’ve made so far this year. The numbers? I’ve made more in my part-time creator endeavours than in my day job. It’s funny. Two years ago, I told myself I’d quit my day job if I earned even a fraction of what I made. At 50% I&rsqu...

Since Windows 11 was launched two years ago, I wanted to give the operating system a try as anything new drops into the market. Until the past week from writing this story, I finally managed to install it on my laptop and check it out. Before Windows 11, I used Windows 10 for almost seven years and ...

People often advise writing within a niche, and sticking to it NO MATTER WHAT. Scary, huh? But, I’m not so sure that’s necessary anymore. I definitely stick to a niche on my website, but I go on all sorts of tangents on Medium. And that’s okay, I think&he...

When several hundred Lutherans in Bavaria, Germany, attended a service on June 9, 2023, designed by ChatGPT, the program not only selected hymns and prayers, but also composed and delivered a sermon, delivered by an avatar on a big screen. Indeed, programs like ChatGPT, that can produce a se...

Despite the time being after 9 p.m., the Ring notifications were incessant. I initially cleared them, thinking it was the delivery guy making his third attempt to get my signature on a package; unfortunately, at the time, I was 500+ miles to the north. I opened the app and saw someone hang som...

I stumbled upon this motivational quote in Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing, a collection of essays spanning thirty years of his writing career. He melded together the story of his life and the events that inspired him to write. Needless to say, he was one of the most acclaimed wr...

About 1.5 billion people in the world speak English as their second or foreign language, and I happen to be one of them. As a non-native speaker of the English language, I enjoy speaking and writing in the language as much as I do my native language. And I understand that this is not the case for...
