This is post is not meant to be an anti-AI post but a story of how overelying on AI has had some side effects on me. When I learned about AI Ever since I started getting into the computer programming world, I learned about AI, back then we referred to it more commonly by ML (Machine Learning), that was back in late 2010’s shortly before the public release of ChatGPT in late 2022. ...

Life update Hi, I have not stayed truth to my word of writing frequently on this blog at all. Life is been busier and a lot of my hobbies and interests have changed recently. I still hang around on Telegram if you ever want to contact me there but I can’t promise that I will reoly soon. What I’m doing now I’m currently working full time as a sys admin at a company. I always wanted to work as a programmer, in fact, I had an internship as a Full Stack Developer working with React and Next.js. However, life took me to a different path and my current job moatly centers around managing servers running Linux and a little bit of Ansible. Seeing the landscape for developers now it’s quite different from the outside. I see everyone being worried that SWE will disappear forever and it’s sad to read that my dream job might actually die eventually? Heck, my current job might die too lol. I’ve been using a lot of Claude Code at work. I feel like my background in software development, has given me an advantage to develop cool tools really quickly that make my life so much easier at work. ...

I have been an Android user for over 10 years. I got my first Android in my early teens and I’ve been using it all the way to my 20’s. I recently got an iPhone XR and I want to share my experience as someone who has been kind of anti-Apple. I will be telling you the pros and cons of iOS compared to Android in my personal experience. Before getting started I got this iPhone XR from a family member second hand. Initially I wanted to jailbreak it and see what I could do with it but then I realized I couldn’t do it because there are no exploits yet that work the iOS version I currently have. These are the devices I currently own and use: ...

Hi there 👋🏼 Welcome to my blog! This is my second first post. Hello World 2.0 This is a rewrite of my initial Hello World cuz the previous one was too optimistic as someone put it (pst Liam aka. maiL). Hugo is cool and simple As I said in my previous Hello World, I have previously tried “blogging” on different platforms. One time I tried on blogspot and it was ugly, the other time I tried on WordPress but it was overkill and slow. But let’s be honest, those are not the reasons those blogs failed, they failed because I stopped posting after only a few months lol. Anyway, back to the point, I’m using Hugo for this mainly because I’m lazy to maintain something else and also I don’t need a whole lot to run this since it’s statically hosted on Cloudflare and pulled from GitHub. Also I’ve never really liked Jekyll. Alright, now go to the home you might find something that is actually interesting there or use the search bar or whatever. ...
