AI is like TV (or books before that).

About a year ago I started writing a “work diary”.

I’ve always liked reading blogs, and have used several feed readers in the past (Feedly, for example).

I had some very nice experiences with Claude Code recently, and I realized it would be fun to write down all the ways I use AI today (highly likely it will all change within the next year!).

Recently I wanted to learn a bit about Apache Kafka.

Recently I followed the very good Coursera course “Algorithms, Part I” from Coursera.

I just got a new Macbook, and I thought it would be useful for my future self to write down what I installed on it.

When working in the terminal, I like to move efficiently between panes.

At home, I manage by smart lights (Philis Hue, Ikea Trådløs, etc) from a Raspberry Pi running the Deconz Zigbee gateway.

In the old days, well before my time as a programmer, you had servers, which maybe had a Java server running, connecting to a Oracle SQL database, managed by some other team.
