Keychron Q3 MaxThis year I decided to treat myself with a new keyboard, and I’ve chosen the Keychron Q3 Max; this post is a short summary of my impressions after a few weeks of use.
Bestseller TalkTen years ago, almost to the day, I delivered what turned out to be the “best-selling” talk of all my conference speaking career, with effects that I can feel to this day.
Learning A New Programming Language per Year in the Age of AIPeople don’t really learn new programming languages every year anymore thanks to AI, so why do I stick with this activity?
