I'm delighted to announce that the CFP is open for Arc of AI 2026 @arcofai Link: www.arcofai.com/cfp Submission deadline: Dec 20, 2025 Speaker Notification: Jan 10, 2026 Conference dates: Apr 13-16, 2026 Looking forward to your submissions and/or participation at the conf.

I've never had to program something does not automatically translate to that concept is never needed, is useless, or no one should ever use. My grandma never too a flight, but she was wise not to call for an end of air travel.

Hello November! 1: Niș, Serbia—Game of Codes Conference 10: Utrecht, The Netherlands—Private training 11: Utrecht—Rabobank Meetup: www.meetup.com/nl-nl/raboba... 17: Oslo, Norway—Private training 19: Geneva, Switzerland—Private training

Each time someone encounters a technical challenge if they run away from it, they becomes an expert at fleeing rather than at problem solving. We need to develop perseverance, the stills to device solutions, and the will to ask for help and collaborate.

I’m probably the only idiot leaving Transylvania on the day of Halloween!🎃 Had a great time with workshop and CodeCamp in Brașov. Now on my way to Niș for Game of Code.

Ran into issues with a task late last night. Slept over it, with hopes for this morning. It took a dark turn, however. Listened to some hallucinations, edited Perl scripts, installed Python packages, and used a few shell commands, to finally get exactly what I wanted. Phew.
