As a software developer, I'm finding it a bit challenging to stay up-to-date. My personal time outside of work is quite limited due to my new baby, and yet I see numerous developments happening every day. My position is mostly focused on backend and infrastructure. While I use LLMs and tools like Cursor for coding, I don't actively develop agents or similar technologies in my full-time role. I don't have a strong grasp of the core concepts, problems, and common solutions in this space.

To remain competitive in the job market in the coming years, I need to define a strategy, do some learning, and get some hands-on practice. However, I'm not exactly sure where to start. There's just too much noise.

What is your strategy for this? How do you stay current?

p.s. This can be a good startup idea. If I had time, I would start "Daily AI: Learn with baby steps". I checked so many similar websites but all of them are so high-level or too deep. I need a course for developers. Not only videos, but also hands-on tasks. Not too complex that takes hours but doable in ~25 minutes.

We are expecting a baby and we want to buy a camera to monitor the baby. I want to buy an offline one for domestic use but my wife wants to buy an IP camera so that we can watch even when we are out of home. I don't trust the companies like Xiaomi and services.

What is the most secure way of monitoring babies? Is there a way to ensure e2e encryption?

I don't want to learn the mathematical basics of ML or AI as a science. I only want to learn existing concepts and tools in the practical AI/ML side as a developer. There are lots of resources about LLMs, models, datasets, etc but I don't know where to start. Is there a good 101 resources?

As a platform engineer whose expertise is Kubernetes and Cloud, I am looking for AI tools/projects to learn/try. What projects are on your radar?

I guess many companies will need to run their own LLMs on their k8s clusters and we will see many projects in this area. I want to be early adopter and looking for new projects.

What would be the possible consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War in the software industry?

Hey. Today (November 10) is Atatürk's death anniversary and we commemorate him in Turkey. I wonder how much people in other countries know him and what they think about him.
