A couple of weeks ago, Andrej Karpathy tweeted about using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases – what he calls “LLM Wikis.”

During a recent reorganization, I was tasked with updating GitHub to reflect the changes.

Introduction As a frequent Google Meet user, I often find myself in situations where I need to quickly mute and unmute my microphone or toggle my video on and off during meetings.

Transitioning from team to group management, I wanted to pass some of the techniques I gathered to the team leaders I’m managing, and one of them is to manage ongoing work with a Kanban board.

Mentoring is something I do quite often as part of leading a developer group, but I rarely do it consciously, it mostly just happens in 1on1s and code reviews.

I’m receiving another team to manage directly, which is good news!

Wanting to broaden my knowledge in management, I picked up High Output Management after I saw it come up a few times on Hacker News.

Inline with the Corona pandemic, I gave my first online conference talk!

For many of us, programming is a hobby as well as a job.

My Python setup used to change a lot, as I would find ad-hoc solutions for my needs.

One of the daunting things in managing a team is being up to date with what is going on.

Engineering teams have a few types of meetings that repeat themselves: weekly, 1:1s, design review, etc.

Learning from Kenneth Reitz’s Requests When writing a package (library), providing it with a good API, is almost as important as its functionality itself (well, at least if you want some adoption), but what makes a good API?

Hi all, At the last PyWebIL meetup I took the stand and gave a talk about one a very interesting open-source project - Kong.

Preparing to teach my first Python class, I searched the web for teaching materials I can use and came up almost empty handed.

Context The Python course I’m instructing at Avratech (see earlier post and CNN story) is advancing and the students are already a month and a half into their group projects.

I was asked to optimize our web API service.

For the last couple of months I’ve been involved in a great project: getting Haredic (ultra-orthodox jews) man into the software world!

In the last Pyweb-IL meetup I gave a short introduction talk about coroutines and their usage in Python.

Next week I’m presenting a philosophy paper I wrote about altruism (see previous post) in a conference at Tel-Hai college!

Looking for a job, I wrote down things that I find important so I can narrow my search and be more focused.

During college I was lucky enough to get my parents old car.
