Data Preprocessing Guide for Beginners in ML

2025-10-22T06:09:23+00:00

Before machine learning (ML) models can generate predictions or insights, the raw data must first be cleaned, organized, and transformed into a suitable format for the model. This process is known as data preprocessing. It is the foundation of every successful ML project. It ensures that the model learns from high-quality, consistent, and well-structured input rather than noisy, incomplete, or biased information. In this hands-on guide, we’ll walk through how to transform a raw Kindle eBook dataset from Kaggle into machine learning-ready data using Google Colab, a free cloud-based environment that allows you to write and execute Python code directly [...]

Tech Burnout: Is It Really Inevitable?

2025-10-17T12:05:51+00:00

What if the dream job, the one you've always been dreaming of and manifesting ever since, is quietly draining the life out of you? This exhaustion is a known feeling in the tech industry, where the relentless pressure forces professionals and students to push until they hit a wall. This struggle is intensified in cultures that value sheer willpower and "diskarte" (resourcefulness), where admitting this profound fatigue feels like a personal, silent failure. We've all seen this cycle, or been trapped in it ourselves. This article is inspired by Mayuko’s (2020) video, “Why is Burnout So Common in Tech? Let’s [...]

Rise of Microservices in Modern Apps: From One Block to Many

2025-10-21T15:23:19+00:00

Have you ever thought about the pain of fixing just one small piece of a massive software system without accidentally breaking everything else? Honestly, most of the time, that is almost impossible. That challenge led to the rise of microservices in modern apps. It marked a shift from old monolithic architectures to smaller and independent services. This represents a significant architectural change. Developers moved away from huge, rigid monolithic setups and embraced smaller, independent systems. For a long time, developers built apps as a single block of code. This structure is known as monolithic architecture. It was fine when systems were [...]

High-Performing ≠ Massive: The Rise and Progression of Small Language Models (SLMs)

2025-10-17T11:29:21+00:00

Have you ever needed to find a new charger for your device, only to discover that its voltage wasn’t compatible, causing it not to work or even risking damage? Without checking the actual needs of your device, you’ve probably thought that you could go with what the seller recommends as the “highest quality” rather than your device’s fitting needs. With the current utilization of AI for businesses, bigger doesn’t always mean better. Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. have been in the spotlight for their high-performing power for computational tasks and content generation capabilities. But let’s be [...]

The Future Is Containerized: Why Every Cloud Engineer Should Care About Docker in 2025

2025-10-29T12:10:55+00:00

In 2025, software development is moving faster than ever. Businesses demand speed, reliability, and scalability. Cloud infrastructure is no longer optional.  it’s the backbone of modern applications, powering everything from streaming platforms like Netflix to AI-driven fintech solutions. In this fast-paced environment, one technology has emerged as a game-changer for cloud engineers: Docker. An illustration of a developer using Docker for containerized applications. Picture this: a developer spends weeks building a web application. On their laptop, it runs flawlessly, smooth performance, no errors. But once deployed to production, chaos erupts. Dependencies don’t match, libraries are missing, the database [...]

Chips & Brains: The Psychology of Human-AI Decision Making

2025-10-07T07:45:30+00:00

Your smartphone just recommended the perfect restaurant, your GPS avoided traffic seamlessly, and your bank approved a loan in seconds—all without human intervention. The speed at which AI operates is awe-inspiring. Yet when the same AI suggests a medical treatment or hiring decision, we suddenly hesitate. This contradiction reveals something fascinating: our relationship with artificial intelligence isn't just about technology; it is deeply psychological. Today's workplace is undergoing a silent revolution in which human intuition and algorithms clash, operate together, and occasionally fail catastrophically. AI technologist Kylan Gibbs and social psychologist Brian Lowery agreed in a recent TED talk that [...]
