I think the new era of LLM (Large Language Model) AI/ML. But, here’s one of the many things I think everyone is overlooking. A lot of content on the web (and code, etc) is now being generated by ChatGPT so at a certain point, LLM’s are going to be using past LLM generated text to …
I applied for a job and the employer asked for a sample of React code. I realized the only recent code I had was from work. It wouldn’t be fair (and intellectual property infringement) to share previous employers code with the next employer and the previous employer had finally removed me from the Git repo. …

Jan 2018 to Present I built a data lake for Cansure. At the same time I was volunteering for the City of New Westminster on their Open Data.

I was talking to a friend the other day and said “I’ve long held the belief that the increasing anxiety/stress/ADD is a result of human evolution/timeline”. Let’s for a second think of an alert or notification as “something that needs our attention”. In the early days those things were lions roaring, lighting, etc. In modern …
This is great advice/insight: Great advice that I really [REALLY] want to follow. I work extremely hard every day, post-crash, post-brain-injury, to not become like the imbecile insurance lawyers who accused me of lying, insurance doctors who conveniently asked & documented only what they wanted, and the unaware drivers who put us all at risk …
I’m such a nerd! You’d think 4 calendars (plus a few reminders, daily, etc) would be enough but here we are. I’ve created a public calendar for myself (and my wife):
This is an open letter to New West police and ICBC giving them an opportunity to explain their side of what happened and requesting answers to some simple questions. On July 26, 2016 I was involved in a near-fatal crash while cycling home from work.
