I’ve decided just this morning that I’m going to start each day with an educational video that’s less than 5 minutes long.

One of my favorite video series, Don’t Be Dumb from Josh of Stuff You Should Know ended this week. That same organization puts out another series called Brain Stuff. I think I’ll start there.

    Remember that time I referenced a post I hadn’t written yet? Well here it is! I was discussing the apparent topic of the week: my soon to be revived TIL podcast. I mentioned that I decided not to do another general learning podcast because, well, there’s a lot of them. About 8 months ago, I…

    Everyone thinks that their AI thing is the one that doesn’t sound like AI. It does. They’re just wish-casting. There’s no magic prompt. The way to not sound like AI is to not use AI.
