Using monads in Python is good; adding contract enforcement on AbstractBaseClasses (aka interfaces...) sounds even better - PyContracts is a library I fully intend to use so I don't go crazy.

Two days ago, I obtained by Computer Science Bachelor degree; took me two years and I've finally done it :)

The cost of using AI agents is dropping daily.

Perplexity's searching capabilities are fantastic.

Using OpenCode + OpenAI codex-5.1-mini helped me fix an issue with my GPU chip on my home laptop I could not fix in multiple years : in only one hour of time! Stoked.

"The European Commission has launched a whistleblower tool for the AI Act." - Businesses need to comply quickly !

A good article explaining the differences between Vim and Neovim: https://itsfoss.gitlab.io/post/whats-the-difference-between-vim-and-neovim/

A new OpenAI LLM model came out : gpt-5.1-codex-mini ; it's 5x less expensive than gpt-5 or gpt-5-codex. Interesting!

I'm going to try Neovim; I've avoided this as much as I could given how much time I poured in my vimrc config. I hope it goes well.

Firefox has an incredible feature which is more convenient than browser profiles : tab containers. You can store difference user sessions in them.

After an afternoon of work, I noticed my mouse has been turned off the entire time; it's so nice to work mostly using the keyboard :)
