    Are We About to Enter Another AI Winter?

    This isn’t your typical “AI is the future” story. This is about how (when everyone was throwing money and excitement at AI like it was the next gold rush) things suddenly went cold. These “AI winters” are like the seasons that hit tech trends: the hype goes sky-high, then everything collapses. And it’s happened a…

    Zhemao hoaxes

    Did you ever think Wikipedia – the place we all run to for quick answers – could be fooled for over a decade? Well, it was. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger) for this wild story about a housewife, fake Russian history, and the longest-running hoax you never knew about. It all started…

  • Luck is overrated

    Luck is overrated

    We like to think luck is this magical thing that just falls into our laps out of nowhere but it doesn’t. It’s all about being ready when that window of opportunity swings open and don’t stay open forever. I remember when I first heard that quote from Seneca Luck is what happens when preparation meets…

  • Today’s accomplishments were yesterday’s impossibilities

    Today’s accomplishments were yesterday’s impossibilities

    Ever think about how crazy that thing you did today seemed impossible not too long ago? I’ve been there too. You know that feeling when you finally achieve something that felt out of reach? It’s like you’re on top of the world. And it got me thinking about this quote from Robert Schuller: “Today’s accomplishments…

  • Drowning in options

    Drowning in options

    Ever feel like you’re drowning in options? I was just thinking about this – like, when you’re picking a movie to watch or choosing what book to dive into next, what pulls you in? Is it the shiny new release that everyone’s hyped about, or the classic that’s been sitting on your list for years?…

  • Why do “hostel” and “hostile” sound so similar?

    Why do “hostel” and “hostile” sound so similar?

    I’ve asked myself this question and the answer is – it all boils down to Latin. Two words that seem to belong in completely different universes actually share the same origin. So, here’s the deal. Both “hostel” and “hostile” trace back to the Latin word “hospes,” which means “guest” or “host.” Now, you’d think a…

  • How Different Music Genres Power My Life

    How Different Music Genres Power My Life

    I’ve always had a deep love for music from the intricate melodies of classical to the hard-hitting riffs of heavy metal. Music has always been a part of my life, and that’s what led me to start playing piano and eventually work on Piano Companion. Over the years, I’ve started noticing a bit of a…

  • A book about productivity

    A book about productivity

    I have a confession to make – I have a strange passion. From time to time, I find myself diving deep into books about productivity. Weird, right? The last one I read was Make Time by @jakek and @jazer. The thing is, as I read through their book, I realized they were summing up a…

  • PMF and MVP

    PMF and MVP

    Product/Market Fit (PMF) and Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – two terms that often confuse. It’s easy to mix them up. Think of the MVP as the “test run.” It’s the first basic version of your product that lets you see if people even want what you’re offering. It’s not supposed to be perfect; it’s just…

  • From Marathon to Ironman: My Unexpected Journey

    From Marathon to Ironman: My Unexpected Journey

    I can’t even really remember when it all started. I think it was right after I did my first marathon – someone I knew mentioned Ironman, and after watching just one video about it, I promised myself, one day, I’d be there too. You know, it’s one of those goals that’s so far away, it…
