Hi Reader, How's it going for you? Yesterday, I had the pleasure of chatting with Pavel Klavík, the founder of OrgPad, my absolute favourite mindmapping tool. I've been using it for everything from project planning to learning new topics. I used this tool to create this mindmap for my video on learning Python: Python mindmap. Link: https://orgpad.info/s/sbwXdJ9N5wc Pavel has an interesting backstory – he used to work at Google, improving their search engine. Then he quit his well-paying job...

Hi Reader, I hope you're having a great week! 🗒️ My notes on AI agents I've been diving into AI agents lately as part of my Python for AI Projects course (I will share some updates with you on this in the coming day 😊). During this process, I put together a monster 20+ page note on AI agents that I wanted to share with you. Here's the link. Whether you're just curious about AI agents or want to build your own, I think you'll find this useful. AI agents are everywhere right now! Some people...

Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, DeepSeek made headlines by being the most powerful open-source reasoning model. I made a video recently to test its performance against OpenAI's o1 model. Spoiler: It's pretty good, but not without flaws! But there's another important implication of DeepSeek: Open-source models are making it easier (and cheaper) than ever to build useful tools—like study buddies, workflow automators, or even your own AI twin. Andrew Ng believes that even though a lot of...

Hello Reader, Hope you're having a great start to the week! This past week, I’ve been diving into DeepSeek-R1 and exploring some AI books, and I wanted to share some thoughts and insights with you. Building AI Applications A few weeks ago, DeepSeek made headlines as the most powerful open-source reasoning model. I put it to the test in a video, comparing its performance against OpenAI's GPT-4o. Spoiler: It's impressive—but not without flaws! But more importantly, DeepSeek represents something...

Hello Reader, How's 2025 started for you so far? Mine started with an eyelid infection (I didn't know this thing existed 😅). So no new videos yet, but I'm working on some new ideas. I've been curled up with some amazing books (check the P.S. for those recommendations!) and had time to think about what I want to accomplish this year. I took a break from LinkedIn for two weeks. You know that feeling when your feed is screaming "OMG NEW AI THING!" every 5 seconds? "Wait, I didn't know about this...

Hello Reader, Ah, 2024. What a year! It's been full of twists and turns. This year forced me to confront some big questions: What do I really want to do? Who am I? And what I want to spend time on. 2024 taught me three big lessons that I’d love to share. They are not specifically related to data science or AI, but I hope they are still useful in some way. 1. Health Matters More Than Hustle For the past three years, I’ve been juggling a full-time job, studying computer science, and making...

Hello Reader, If you saw my previous post, you'll know I've been putting a lot of my waking hours into a "secret" project that I was so excited to share with you. Its goal is to make the path of learning Python and understanding/building AI applications simpler and more accessible to beginners. Why Python? Python has become one of the most important languages for data science, machine learning, and general software development in academia and industry. With the advancement of AI these days,...
