How to end your Sunday: coding 🙏🏽

My latest blog post is out! 🎉 "The Reward is in the Risks of AI" 👀👇🏾 - the current risky landscape of AI 🚨 - reframing risk into challenging reward potential 🧠 - what you can do about it in YOUR role in tech ✅ www.nnennahacks.com/p/the-double...

The Double-Edged Sword: The Reward is in the Risks of AI

How technologists can harness AI’s full potential, safely and responsibly.

🤩ANOTHER SPECIAL GUEST🤩 We have the fantastic @nnennahacks.com joining @nedinthecloud.com, @usrbinkat.io, and me to give us a lesson: PRODUCTIVITY w/ AI Topics: - AI Agents for DevRel - Claude projects for learning tech - Working w/ Claude to develop an open-source project 🗓️ TODAY @ 2PM ET 🔗👇🏽

“Just went to an AI conference at Microsoft and I asked the closing panel a question: “What will happen to those who don’t adopt AI? Im using it supercharge my life, what about the ppl who don’t?” Them: “America is the land of equal opportunity, NOT equal outcome.”” - @nnennahacks.com

The speed at which tech is improving should worry everyone because at the rate people are losing jobs, these companies are not looking to replace these jobs with American workers, they are hiring people from other countries to do the job for the fraction of what they should be paying you.

The same way they didn’t educate us about taxes & financial literacy in these schools. Is the same way they won’t educate us on how to capitalize on what is happening next.

Wow… a lot has happened in 2 months. This post feels like it was written 6 months ago, at my rate of learning & building.

I'm in WAYY over my head with recently learning about BAML, an ML language for AI Engineering. But I prompted the BoundaryML chat, which gave me an example of a BAML file to run and test. Chat is available publicly. 👇🏽

New LinkedIn newsletter is out. - Are open source LLMs really open-source? - I used to be fearless in tech. How things have changed… 👇🏽

Open-source LLMs & the Evolution of Fearless Creativity

Welcome to issue #3 of The Career Compiler! The Career Compiler is a newsletter about technical topics, learning, productivity, and self-improvement. I enjoy sharing my journey, self-reflecting, and t...

All the hype around vibe coding is around building prototyping from scratch but most of the time we are adding to and augmenting highly complex systems.

Sometimes it feels like a crime to be different. Or to really embrace growth. You want to grow. Then you do. And then there’s crickets. You’re suddenly standing in an empty room.

There are some things I don’t need to be taught, as I understand them on an intuitive level. Therefore, it’s important for me to read content that affirms what I already naturally understand. Not just content that teaches me something I need to learn. Affirmation and validation matter.

Might have to use LLMs to teach me about the inner workings of open-source governance...

I’ve been meaning to look into @beeaiagents.bsky.social I want to explore that project. But I’ve been writing for several hours now… and I need to keep reading “AI Engineering” and there’s a 5-day Google course for GenAI starting…

I was in flow state for SEVERAL hours today… how is this possible??? Also, I’m so happy about it 😂

This AI workshop was incredible and glad I attended. So many inspiring women leaders looking to lead the charge in how to leverage LLMs effectively across communities. 🙌🏽

I’m going to experiment with “energy mapping”. Matching tasks to actual brain power as a neurodivergent person.

I feel unblocked today. 🥹 Emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I will cherish it.

I decided to buy a beautiful Rag & Bone vest dress. Very well structured piece, quality fabric. My present to myself for existing. 😊

Venus retrograde is kicking my ass right now. Can’t wait for it to pass.

I hope the universe gives me a solid reason to go on a shopping spree soon. I’d feel less guilty if I know it’s for a really good reason. 🙂

Early morning before everyone is moving around is so peaceful 🧘🏽‍♀️

Only responsible people up this early

Instead of "Groups A and B just never talk to each other", I'm working on saying "what happens if groups A and B don't talk to each other?" Now I'm not speaking in absolutes, I'm not overgeneralizing, I'm rather talking about a hypothetical and *specific* instance, and discussing that Much better!

vLLM East Coast meetup at Google 👍🏽 Met some folks from Red Hat’s AI teams and an architect from Cisco 👩🏽‍💻 Diverse, super technical crowd.

Pilates, quality time with loved ones, and online communities are keeping me sane at this point with what’s going on in the world.

I just learned about diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) 🧐 I’ve got some studying to do. 👩🏽‍💻📚

I attended Harvard Data Science Initiative 2025 workshop on Responsible AI and Governance. 🤓 All I can say is WOW. 3 hours of pure intellectual insight & discussion. 🙌🏽 I got to ask THE Pat Gelsinger what he thought about synthetic data generation for LLMs. I’m still shaking from that moment. 😆

Yuuuup. I despise "STAR" question formatting. The intent behind what they're asking for is fine, but the way they go about it makes everything far more awkward than necessary. I suspect it's a lot worse for neurodivergent candidates than NTs realize, but I don't have any evidence of that.

ToS addendum: If you see your co-workers on Bluesky, no you didn't.

Goal is to get some quick wins over the next few days and weeks.

There are very few tools / products I’m passionate about so when I find one I really value, I’m a natural champion of it. Same goes with the communities I join.
