Saying goodbye to Google 👋🏻 (with surprise guest @tiffintech 😅join me for my last day at the Toronto office 🇨🇦 in my new YouTube video (link in bio) In a few months it will be a year since I quit, but I FINALLY edited the vlog of my last day 😅✌️ I’ll share with you one of the BIGGEST mistakes I made before leaving🫢😔 …& how I navigated the chaos of getting my feature approved, bidding farewell to colleagues, returning office equipment, and even sneaking my friend Tiff (aka @TiffinTech ) into the building as my “intern” 👀 Taking risks can lead to incredible growth, even if it means losing corporate access and spending the night at the London office😳 Join me in embracing the discomfort of leaving a “stable” tech job for the unknown 🫣 Life is all about those unpredictable moments, right? 😅 And remember: it’s okay to be scared of new things; it means you’re growing! What is the most recent risk you’ve taken and how do you decide whether it’s worth taking? 🤔 #developerdiaries #womenintech #thedevlife #lifeatgoogle #softwareengineer

Is it just me or is Chat GPT everywhere now? 😅 It may be because the algorithm knows I love seeing AI content but my entire YouTube, Insta, TT, News, *everything* feed is all Chat GPT related 🥵 I know it’s not just the algo tho because I’ve gone to a few social events this week & each one mentioned ChatGPT multiple times… 😅 plz tell me I’m not alone there is no escape 😭😂 That is to say… prepare for more Chat GPT content 😅 Join the community for more tech content! 👩🏻‍💻 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🦄 Follow @tech.unicorn 🗞 Share your thoughts below👇 🔖 Leave any questions 😀 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tags 🏷 #developer #thedevlife #developerdiaries #compsci #fullstack #softwareengineer #devtips #softwareengineer #learntocode #machinelearning #womeninstem #chatgpt #ai #openai #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligenceai #techunicorn

Comment “guide” for my 10-day guide👇it’s just 10min a day of lil exercises to help you deal with the AI era 😅 (and it’s totally free. I just thought it would be fun) Nobody tells you that your “random” hobbies might be worth more than your degree… 🏍️🤸‍♀️💻 The most common advice in the age of AI is to specialize. Pick a lane. Go deep. Become the best at one thing. I think that advice is going to age terribly…. The people who will thrive are not the ones who out-skilled AI at a single task. They are the ones whose brains were shaped by experiences so specific, so cross-domain, so weirdly theirs, that no model could have been trained to replicate them…. I have been thinking about this for a long time. And it is the core reason I built a seven-figure career doing what I actually love- making content because I do so many random, weird, interesting things around the world … Day 1 of How to Survive AI in 2026 is up and I’ve made it a little interactive so if you want to check it out, I can send you a link :) ( everything is free. I just thought this would be fun to do lol ) What is the weirdest skill in your stack? 👇#ai #2026

Happy Mother’s Day to the OG system admins of our lives 🥰 This is your sign to bring your mom to a tech conference with you lol 👀 This time last year, I took my mom to her first tech conference 🥹 I brought her along as my “assistant” to SAS Innovate in Orlando and oh my god we had the BEST time (my clients loved her AND that was the exact moment she finally realized I have a real job lol…) since then I’ve happily dragged her to way too many tech conferences with me 😅 and this weekend I’m at AI Expo in Washington DC where I met @meglovesdata ‘smom and she told me I INSPIRED HER TO BRING HER MOM TO THE CONFERENCE 🤣 So… let me inspire you all to bring your moms to your next tech conference… here’s my little guide to bringing a non-techie loved one to a tech conference: 1. grab them a guest or expo pass instead of full registration (saves $$ and honestly the expo floor is the fun part) 2. the demos > the talks for non-devs, every time 3. give them 2 or 3 little talking points about what you do so networking feels less scary 4. plan one full off day to explore the city together, conferences are exhausting even for us 5. let them sit in on ONE deeply technical talk just once. My mom had no idea what was happening - the face they make is unmatched 😂 my mom is my favorite person in the whole world and I miss her so much when I’m traveling, so I’m counting down the days until I see her in Canada in a few weeks 🥹 (my fav is the pic where my mom looks like a hacker.. she was helping me take a picture and doesn’t code at ALL lol but isn’t she the cutest human ever 🥹) who else needs to bring their mom to a conference next year 💌? #mothersday #womenintech #womeninstem #engineeringgals​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

AfrikaBurn dumpy & Ubuntu open source life philosophy 👇👀 What happens when you drop a software engineer in the Karoo desert for five days with no WiFi, no schedule, and 12,000 strangers? You learn that the OS running half the internet was named after a philosophy you just lived out 😅 Ubuntu. “You must be open source…because I want to contribute to your happiness” (a pick up line that afrika burn whispered to me to lure me into the desert… lol 😂) What’s Afrika burn? What Burningman used to be 10-20 years ago. No vendors. No transactions. An entire city built on gifting and community. You bring everything you need, give most of it away. Everyone gives back. That’s Ubuntu. A Nguni Bantu concept from this exact part of the world: “A person is a person through other people.” Not a sentiment about teamwork. An ontology. A claim about what a human actually is. Your humanity is something other people grant you, and that you grant back ✨ That’s the philosophy Mandela led a country with (which I learned about at the burn)…And the one Shuttleworth named his Linux distro after (my favourite Linux distribution that my dad forced me to use when I was 14 lol…) In 2002 he self-funded a trip to space. Mandela called him in orbit. Two years later he gathered developers in his London flat and shipped Ubuntu: same software, same terms, free for everyone on the planet 🌎 Today it quietly powers servers at Google, Amazon, and Netflix. Most engineers have no idea the philosophy behind it 🤯 Ubuntu was enlightening to me because this burn gave me a lot of insights about community & my trade off with freedom. A sign on an art car read: “Attached to nothing, connected to everything.” That used to describe me perfectly. But the non-attachment that helped me grow is starting to hold me back. I’m entering a season where roots matter. Where being part of something means more than being free from everything 🌱 Ubuntu has a word for what I was missing. English doesn’t quite. No one compiles alone 💛 I guess I had to leave the laptop behind and trek into the desert to remember that 🌎 What’s the philosophy behind your life and code? 😅👇 #afrikaburn #digitalnomadlife

2x Claude-pilled?👇The tea on the Musk/Anthropic deal.. The “safety-first” AI lab. Just signed a compute deal with Elon Musk. 😅 Let that sit for a second. 👀 At Code With Claude this week (I went last year, this year I picked the African desert with zero wifi lol), Anthropic announced they’re taking all the compute at Colossus 1 in Memphis. 220,000+ NVIDIA GPUs. 300+ megawatts of power. Colossus 1 is SpaceX/xAI infrastructure in Memphis, and Anthropic is now renting the full compute stack there. What users get right now: → Claude Code’s 5-hour limits doubled (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) → Peak-hour throttling, gone → Claude Opus API limits, way up But the real story is what Dario Amodei said on stage. Anthropic grew 80x in Q1, annualized. They planned for 10x. Dario called the actual growth “too hard to handle.” That one line reframes everything. This isn’t a philosophical shift. It’s compute triage. Claude Code blew up. Users hit usage caps. Developers got frustrated. So Anthropic is locking up GPUs wherever they exist. Amazon. Google. Microsoft. Fluidstack. Now even SpaceX lol… And the kicker? The deal also includes “interest” in SpaceX’s orbital data centers. AI compute in space. In 2026. Casually slipped into a press release 😂 Here’s what this moment actually means. The model is the product. The GPU is the power. And that power is concentrating into fewer and fewer hands. Hands that don’t always share your worldview…But that you need anyway. Even Musk, who recently called Anthropic “misanthropic and evil,” is now effectively their landlord. Wild times. Does the Musk connection change how you feel about using Claude? 👇 #Claude #Anthropic #AINews #SpaceX #ai

Thank god Claude isn’t down, he scared me 😮‍💨#ai #thedevlife #softwareengineer #techunicorn #womeninstem

Claude Code is either life-changing or absolutely unhinged depending on how you use it 😭 If you’ve ever had it start strong, then suddenly forget your project, duplicate code, invent random APIs, or confidently break something that was working 10 minutes ago… same. But honestly, a lot of the time Claude Code is not the problem. Your workflow is. Most people treat Claude Code like a magic coding genie and then get mad when it behaves like a sleep-deprived intern with no onboarding. The actual upgrade is giving it structure: ✨ Use `/clear` between different tasks ✨ Use `/compact` when the session gets noisy ✨ Keep your `CLAUDE.md` short and useful ✨ Install plugins that match your workflow ✨ Use Plan mode before big changes ✨ Use sub-agents for messy tasks ✨ Turn repeated workflows into skills ✨ Use `ultrathink` only when the problem actually needs it The biggest lesson: Claude Code gets way better when you stop dumping your entire brain into one chaotic session. Give it rules. Give it context. Give it a plan. Then reset before it starts hallucinating like a founder after three Yerba Mates. Save this before your next coding session.

Comment “generate” if you want to avoid a lawsuit when generating AI images 👇 😱#OpenArtPartner Here’s what most creators and brands are completely skipping over. Every AI image looks original. Your prompt was original. But the model (like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E) was trained on billions of scraped images, including Getty’s 1.8B+ licensed library and NYT’s photo archives, many protected under DMCA and Berne Convention. Fact: Ongoing lawsuits like Getty Images vs. Stability AI (filed 2023, $1.7B+ claims) prove models ingest copyrighted works without permission. ⚖️ I ran a test. 🧪 Took a fully AI-generated lifestyle image (prompt: “urban fashion shoot with boots”) and ran it through @openart_ai IP Safety Check. One image. Four seconds to generate. Two brand matches: 🚨 Jacquemus at 95% similarity (specific handbag pose and styling). 🚨 Timberland at 90% (boot tread and colorway match). You were about to put that in a campaign. 😬 Real stat: A 2024 Stanford study found 82% of AI images have detectable IP overlaps when scanned deeply. OpenArt’s IP Safety Check scans at the object level using CLIP-based embeddings (99.2% benchmark accuracy per their whitepaper). It tells you exactly what matched (e.g., “left boot sole pattern”), who owns it (brand + license holder), percentage similarity, and even suggests prompt tweaks. Not vague. Not a maybe. A clear report with receipts and exportable PDF for legal. 🧾 **Pro Tips to Go Commercial-Safe:** ✅ Generate > Scan > Iterate (under 10s total). ✅ Batch 50+ images (Pro tier: unlimited scans). ✅ Export reports for client NDAs or agency decks. Now generate freely AND use visuals commercially without lawsuit anxiety. Courts aren’t buying “fair use” for AI outputs yet (see Andersen vs. Stability AI ruling). ✅ What AI tools are you using? 👀👇 ai techunicorn

What’s new with GPT 5.5 👀👇(not sponsored fyi lol, I am just genuinely impressed that AI can now handle our entire workflow and nobody told me? 👀 GPT-5.5 dropped and OpenAI is calling it a new class of intelligence….and honestly? Lmk if you think that’s true. It outperforms Claude Opus 4.7 on benchmarks across the board. But the benchmarks aren’t even the headline. Here’s what it can actually do 👇 ✅Write AND debug your code Research the internet autonomously ✅Analyze data, generate docs and spreadsheets ✅Operate software end-to-end Keep going until the task is ACTUALLY done That last point is everything.💯 you don’t need to say something like “don’t return the task to me until you verified that you’ve done it” The real unlock is agentic coding plus computer use. You know how you’re currently copy-pasting between 47 tabs like a little gremlin? 💀 GPT-5.5 handles the full workflow by itself. No duct-taping tools together. One model. Full task. Done. It’s live now in ChatGPT and Codex. Don’t test it on easy stuff. Give it the workflow that makes you want to close your laptop.💻 Also, anyone else wondering how this stacks up against models like Mythos? 👀 I wish I could test and compare lol… What’s the hardest thing you’d throw at it first? #GPT5 #OpenAI #ai #TechNews #SoftwareEngineer
