Understanding CI/CD deeply, not just using [...]
Everything You Need to Know About Harness Engineering
AI agents can now write code, browse the web, and run for hours without a human watching. Ask one to build a feature, and it might open ten files and call five tools. It can make a hundred small decisions before it ever shows you a result. That is [...]
Should the Philippines Make Its Own Local Large Language Model?
As countries all around the world are beginning to invest in their own large language models, the same question keeps coming up in Philippine tech circles: should the country build one, too? If we do, would it be cost-effective? And if it is, would it be beneficial? As [...]

Physical AI in 2026: Why Mechatronics Matters

Many learners and engineers who focus on cloud and AI still think of intelligence as something that exists only in data centers or large language models. In 2026, a major shift is happening. AI is stepping out of the digital world and into the physical one. This is called Physical AI, also known as Embodied AI. It combines powerful foundation models with real-world robotics and mechatronic systems. For the first time, AI does not [...]

A Beginner’s Guide to Small Language Models (SLMs)

What are Small Language Model (SLM)? We often hear about Large Language Models, but did you know that there’s a “smaller” version of it? In this article, we will talk about what a Small Language model is, their strengths and weaknesses, and its practical use cases. So, what really is a Small Language Model? At its core, an SLM is a lightweight language model designed specifically for task-specific, highly efficient inference. It is built [...]

The Reality of Learning Tech: Mental Health, Pressure, and Growth

Learning technology is often described as exciting. It offers new skills, new opportunities, and a clear path forward. However, mental health in tech is often overlooked. But for many people, that journey does not always feel that way. Over the past year, while trying to grow in tech, I have also been navigating personal mental health challenges. There were days when learning something new was not just about understanding concepts. It was about finding [...]

Amazon Quick Sight Sheet Tooltips: Enhancing Data Storytelling and Dashboard UX

Modern organizations use data visualization tools for critical decisions. Dashboards simplify complex datasets, turning millions of rows of raw data into digestible formats. Still, users often view a dashboard and feel they aren't seeing the whole picture. Dashboards often lack immediate context, resulting in a frustrating user experience. Analysts must constantly switch between views, tabs, and reports just to understand the insights. To solve this, AWS introduced Sheet Tooltips in Amazon Quick Sight, a [...]

Finsharc, a Newcomer Reshaping How We Think About Personal Finance

Finsharc is a personal finance application that is entering a very saturated place. As there are personal finance apps such as Money Manager that already solve the basics of expense tracking at a personal level, (things you buy day-to-day, such as lattes or groceries) budgeting for the future, and reporting with pie charts. Those things have already been solved. But most of these traditional applications are stable, yet entirely rigid. Finsharc, which is a [...]

Google Lyria 3: Free AI Music in Gemini

Google quietly rolled out Lyria 3 inside Gemini, and it lets anyone generate 30-second music tracks from a text prompt, complete with vocals, lyrics, and instrumentals. It's free, it's surprisingly good, and most people don't even know it's there. I spent an afternoon messing around with it. Here's how it works and where it starts to fall apart. What Is Lyria 3? Lyria 3 is Google DeepMind's music generation model. It lives inside the [...]

AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security

Stage 3 of the AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security As organizations establish a modern data foundation (Stage 1) and enable seamless data movement (Stage 2), the next critical step is ensuring that data remains trusted, secure, and compliant across the entire ecosystem. At this stage, data is no longer confined to a single platform. It flows across cloud services, SaaS applications, analytics environments, and AI systems. Without strong governance and [...]

Claude Mythos Explained, is it an AI Breakthrough or Overhyped Cybersecurity Threat?

The announcement of Claude Mythos stirred the community towards the advancement of large language models and their application within the domain of cybersecurity. For more than two decades, the investigation and discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities have rested upon cybersecurity teams and researchers. However, the announcement of Claude Mythos, by Anthropic is claimed to be capable of autonomously identifying and weaponizing these security vulnerabilities at scale, This signals a potential shift in balance between offensive [...]

AI Workflows vs AI Prompts: What’s the Real Difference

At first, using AI feels simple. You type a prompt, get a response, and move on. That’s how most people start, and for basic tasks, it works. But as you try to do more complex or repeatable work, you begin to notice something: prompts alone aren’t enough. This is where the difference between AI workflows vs AI prompts starts to matter, because the way you structure your interaction with AI directly affects the quality and [...]

AI Agents on Azure: Practical Insights for Learners

Many people learning Azure still struggle with repetitive manual tasks. AI Agents on Azure for learners offer a practical way to handle these challenges. When a 2 AM alert fires, the usual process involves manually checking the cause, reviewing affected processes, and examining the whole system. AI agents can help by analyzing why alerts happen and suggesting or executing solutions. Before agents, cloud learning relied heavily on traditional automation and manual checks. After agents, [...]
