Most of my writings are aimed at my team members or students and tend to reflect some of my personal mantras:

• I can only learn what I understand
• Complexity is a series of simplicities
• Thinking takes a long time… doing is actually easy and fast, once you know what you are doing

I use AI extensively, mostly for R&D… don’t you? you should! It’s a powerful tool! Just imagine what the Ancient Egyptians would have done with it! My mother looks up recipes online… I’ve just taught her to input ingredients and get alternative meals. Does that mean she can’t cook? We all Google stuff on a daily basis and most use next-gen tools like Github copilot and Cursor… does that mean we don’t know how to do our job? AI helps bridge the speed gap between our internal CPU / GPU (the brain) and our output devices (voice / hands). The future is a nanosecond from now!
