Mathematics is the language of the universe. Made with Java/Processing 4

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?

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

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

Be honest, when was the last time you coded a entire project manually?

Hot take: pull requests are for humans.

Made a song with Claude, some math + Touchdesigner

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.

The iPhone made everyone a photographer. Guess what, photographers are still there.

Hi, I'm Karim. 30 y/o dev based in Florence Italy. Currently building into HR-tech for a startup. Let's connect and tell me what you're working on

Crazy how with AI people discovered taste and judgement again

The school system teaches obedience and indoctrination. Just a small part of it is actual education. You become the perfect cog in the machine.

Rest is a fundamental prerequisite for high judgment. You cannot out-think competitors if your brain is exhausted by continuous stimulation. Rest to think clearly.

The bottleneck is not how intelligent the models are, but how stupid the human is

Routing is the optimization nobody runs. Most requests never needed the expensive model, and you have been paying frontier prices to format strings and classify tickets
