      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Coders at Work&lt;/em&gt; by Peter Seibel is a great book which I recommend everyone read.&#xA;It relates the experience and learning journey of some of the best programmers of all time, and gives precious insights into their work &amp;ndash; what drove them to become great, what they think is important when programming, and what are their visions for the future.&#xA;These 3 subjects together with answers corroborated from all interviewees form guidelines on how one can become a great programmer themself.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Here is what I think about each chapter and person.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Mythical Man Month</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Mythical Man-Month&lt;/em&gt; by Frederick. P. Brooks is a book about his experience during development of OS/360.&#xA;It was recommended to me by my honors project supervisor, Prof. Alexandru, but even without his recommendation I would have likely stumbled upon this book.&#xA;Its contents are hailed as timelessly relevant and some of the most universal truths about working on coding projects are described inside.&#xA;While I admit I don&amp;rsquo;t get all of the books many premises, some of them really speak to me.&#xA;Taking after the opening of the 18th chapter of the book: &lt;em&gt;For brevity is very good, whether we are, or are not understood&lt;/em&gt; I wil go through some of it&amp;rsquo;s premises and try to relate them to my own experiences.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It has long lingered on my mind to reflect partially on my experience of the last 3 years, as the B.Sc. of Computer Science I have recently undertaken is soon coming to an end.&#xA;Fortunately, this is not the end of my journey as a Computer Scientist, but there are specific things that I did not realize about Computer Science before I embarked on this endeavour, most important of which is this: Computer Science is 90% reading and understanding and 10% coding.&#xA;I believe it to be the most important thing I have learned about the field itself in the last 3 years.&#xA;Here is why.&#xA;Dealing with complex problems is hard.&#xA;Programming is all about solving complex problems, programmers live by optimizing our code the best we can, and try to find solutions to problems that we encounter while doing so.&#xA;While it is no doubt nice to have a working code that does something cool, or a solution to a problem that meets the specification, I don&amp;rsquo;t think that is the mindset a programmer should have &amp;ndash; that is, at this stage, to solve a problem is not about getting to a solution &lt;em&gt;somehow&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Denounce AI</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I have read a blog post by &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.jwz.org/&#34;&gt;Jamie Zawinski&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href=&#34;https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html&#34;&gt;Anthony Moser&amp;rsquo;s opinion&lt;/a&gt; about the current developments in AI.&#xA;Now I want to try to formulate my own arguments against the overwhelming reliance on AI nowadays.&#xA;It&amp;rsquo;s been my point of view for a while, however I would like to now clearly state why I think the direction the technology world is heading is wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;AI, although currently being hyped beyond reason, has been around since the previous century.&#xA;However, with the release of ChatGPT to the public, generative models have entered the lives of everyone.&#xA;As a Computer Science student I have first hand witnessed the effects of a paradigm shift in many domains, and after 2 years I believe that relying on content generated by artificial intelligence is simply harmful.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
