Elements of AI

Since ChatGPT went public on November 30, 2022, the world seems to have changed. My LinkedIn timeline was flooded with posts about ChatGPT and its applications. As is usually the case with new things, the timeline was also flooded with self-proclaimed experts. It looks like everybody is focusing on prompting though, which, although quite useful, puts you in the "user" seat. Well, I was never too much of a user.

Learn about Blockchain

As I continuously try to learn more about, almost everything, I decided to take an Online Degree in Blockchain offered by Blockchain council. Although the delivery method could be better, and the structure of the training could be simplified, overall it was a positive experience, which helped me understand better basic and advanced Blockchain concepts, as well as some of the crypto currencies.

Oracle Cloud challenges

I love challenges, and working with Oracle products has always been a challenge for me. This love/hate relationship started ~20 years ago when I could not set up the first version of Oracle Internet Directory, following the documentation word by word! I had to "fix" several scripts to make it install, and in the end, even though it installed, it still wouldn't work... It was the only product I cared enough to remember that failure after so many years. Or maybe, the only product I failed to tame.
