For the past 11 years I was in corporate banking. My major was accountancy and I have a masters in marketing from Curtin, and MSc in Strategy and Organisation Consultancy from EDHEC. Late 2024 I left banking after to become a full time solopreneur pursuing to become an AI Engineer. AI really makes it possible to change career path from non tech to tech, only if you dare. My X account is slow so might as well just post my entire learning journey here. …and here we go.

@BoringBiz_ If the app doesn’t solve problems, it’s just useless

This is the tough lesson that a lot of people are learning the hard way AI might have made building apps a lot easier, but it also set the barrier to entry at zero Because anyone can do it, there is no moat left The only edge left in the future will be sales and marketing

If you need motivation to show up everyday especially on days you don’t feel like it and it has been months of nothing, keep going. You are close to that inflection point already.

@hagov_berlin Read the comments and saw most said it being plain and unimaginative. I saw it and immediately recognised it as Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot. This is the best representation of our home flag, the Pale Blue Dot.

@Jeremybtc So it seems the one designing Apple products was really Steve Jobs all along.

Ferrari paid Jony Ive to design a car and ended up with a kitchen appliance worth $640,000 that wiped $4 BILLION off the stock overnight. > Ive left Apple in 2019 and founded a design studio called LoveFrom with Marc Newson. > In 2025 OpenAI bought his hardware company for $6.5 BILLION. Their first device was supposed to ship in 2026. It's now delayed to 2027. > The Humane AI Pin, designed by ex-Apple veterans inside Ive's orbit, launched in 2024 and was sold to HP for scraps within a year. > Today Ferrari unveiled the Luce, the most expensive car Ferrari has ever sold. The first full car LoveFrom has ever designed. A 4 door 5 seat $640,000 electric grand tourer. > The internet hated it. > Ferrari stock dropped 7% in 24 hours, the biggest single-day fall since October. Roughly £3 BILLION wiped off the market cap. > The reveal was supposed to be Ferrari's iPhone moment. Instead it was Ive's third public product since leaving Apple, and his third public miss. The man who designed the most iconic product of the last 20 years has had a hard time finding the next one. Every project Ive has touched since Apple has been delayed, scrapped, or sold off. The Luce is the first one that took someone else's stock down with it.

@CopyRebeldia This is an amazing repo, thank you for sharing.

Hoy una industria entera dejó de tener sentido. Un tío publicó en GitHub un repo que convierte cualquier foto en un mundo 3D explorable: meshes con físicas, splat del fondo, audio ambiente. Todo. Una imagen entra. Un mundo sale. Cinco minutos. La gente que se pasó diez años aprendiendo Blender lleva todo el día mirando esto en silencio. Se llama image-blaster.

Finally had the chance to try Claude and asked it to create a landing page. It changes my workflow entirely as Claude can give me the entire React + Vite stack and deploy on Vercel. For me how I'll use Claude from now on to build landing pages is have it build everything. I then fire up VS to change the copy and visuals myself. Deploy. Everything a one day job.

My experience with Grok learning how to build a web app is like having that really smart colleague who is always by your side at every step of the way.

@MrPitbull07 Failed society

Tragedy in Australia: parents choose to die with their children and pets, after being abandoned by the system. It’s a sentence that hits like a boulder. One of those you read once and never forget. Because behind it is not just news, but a total human collapse. It happened in Mosman Park, a quiet, orderly neighborhood near Perth. One of those areas where the houses all look the same and pain should have no space. Yet, behind a closed door, an entire family stopped hoping. Jarrod Clune was fifty. Maiwenna Goasdoue, forty-nine. They were parents who had fought for too long, far too long. Their children, sixteen-year-old Leon and fourteen-year-old Otis, lived with severe autism that required constant, round-the-clock care. A presence that demanded everything, offering no respite. Alongside them were the family’s three pets, integral members of a tired but united household. Before dying, Jarrod and Maiwenna left a note on the door. Few words, cold and lucid: “Do not enter. Call the police.” It was not an impulsive act. It was a decision forged over time, in silence, in solitude. Inside the home, there were no signs of violence. No weapons. No struggle. Investigators found a second, detailed letter in which the couple explained everything: the planning, their reasons, even instructions for handling finances after their deaths. A composed farewell. Heartbreaking precisely because it was deliberate. As hours passed, the tragedy became clearer. Caregivers and those close to the family recounted years of rejected requests for help. The Australian disability support system (NDIS) had cut funding. The responses were always the same: the boys were “too difficult.” Too complex. Too expensive. Too much. Too much for a system that should have supported them. What the world sees today is not just a news story. It is the failure of a mechanism that left two exhausted parents with no alternatives. It is a brutal demonstration of what happens when those asking for help are ignored until they no longer have the strength to ask. Four human lives and three animals became the face of a bureaucracy that arrived too late. Or perhaps, never arrived at all. And this story is not just about Australia. It is about every place where loneliness is mistaken for resilience, and despair for weakness. Because when a system fails, it is not only rules that collapse. Families collapse. And sometimes, even hope.

@masterofnone Thank you 🙏🏼

@jimiuorio If you have a good memory like Michael Ross or finesse your way like Saul Goodman, it is highly plausible to be a good lawyer and pass the bar. But I would not trust a quack doctor.

Hot take..You should be able to be a lawyer or a doctor WITHOUT going to a formal school for those things…if we have comprehensive exams and a transparent rating system why should we care how the skills were learned…thoughts?

@jan_1513 My grandfather was a Ministry of Education pensioner and he goes to Tanglin and HKL for his medical needs. Giving credit where it’s due despite the long queues the service is good. So he brings his own foldable chair that can also be used as walking aid. Problem solved.

@predict_addict Thank you very much for your guidance Dr Valeriy.

Ray’s series is heavily procedural, rule-heavy, and focused on mechanical drills, mental math tricks, and practical story problems. It reflects the one-room schoolhouse mentality of the era: fast, folksy, and good enough for basic commercial arithmetic. However, it is shallow on explanations, weak on logical structure, and often presents methods without showing why they work. It prioritizes speed and rote application over genuine understanding. Kiselev’s Arithmetic, by contrast, is systematic, rigorous, and conceptually clear. It builds ideas step by step with precise definitions, careful proofs of key results, and well-graded exercises that develop both skill and insight. This approach produced generations of mathematically strong students. In short, Ray teaches how to compute; Kiselev teaches why the computations work and how to think mathematically. For lasting conceptual foundations, Kiselev is vastly superior. Ray’s book, while historically interesting, feels superficial and outdated by comparison.

Russian math is on another level. In a rural classroom, children were trained to do arithmetic with a precision that would embarrass many modern university students. Not because they were magical. Because the books were better. Start with Kiselev.

@xanon597443 @predict_addict This is a good advise. Thank you!

@bettercallshaz @predict_addict Honestly? What I’d do is count with them constantly, count random things your child has. Kinda like reading them bed time stories. And also play subitizing games like “math love” produces. Then at 8 years old. They should be ready for Kiselev. I’m sure Valeriy has more advice
