QA Engineers Have an Unfair Advantage in Machine Learning

Most ML models don’t fail because of bad algorithms. They fail because no one properly evaluates them. That’s where a QA mindset changes everything. ⸻ Think Like a Tester, Not Just a Builder In ML: Training = writing code Validation = testing & tuning Test set = final regression 👉 Sound...

From Weekend Hackathon to AWS Global Finalist: Building an AI Tutor That Actually Works Offline

Six months ago, I was debugging a React component at 2 AM when my little sister called from our village outside Addis Ababa.

Why I Stopped Logging In to Read Tweets

Someone shares a tweet in a Slack channel. I click. Twitter shows me half the post, then drops a login wall. I close the tab. This happens constantly now. Public content — content that was publicly broadcast, on a public URL — has been quietly converted into gated content. Not by changing what's pu...

How I Built a Personal AI Workspace with OpenClaw and Reframed My Development Workflow

When I first came across OpenClaw, I was not looking for another AI tool. Like most developers, I already had access to several. What caught my attention was the idea of control. OpenClaw did not position itself as just another assistant. It presented something more fundamental: a way to build and o...

The One Mindset Shift That Separates People Who Use AI From People Who Get Left Behind

You take out the garbage every day. You've done it for years. Maybe decades. It's just a thing you do. Part of the routine. You grab the bag, walk outside, toss it in the bin. Done. Never think about it twice. But what if you stopped for 10 seconds and asked: "Does it have to be this way?" What i...
