Gotta listen to Dagmawi Babiโ€™s Meet-up ๐Ÿ˜Š.

I was listening to Ezra Debugging talk and he talked about the rubber duck thingy. It reminded me of a time my friend used me as one to debug his code ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Of course I gave him some theories but now I remember it I had no context of it and I was suggesting based on the context he had and I was questioning his assumptions because I didnโ€™t have the context and because of that I had no assumptions. We were able to get actionable tasks from the talk. Though I was a bit useful, but I was still the rubber duck ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Does anyone know anything about AI in browser things??? More about AI agents in browser how they work and things like that?
So I was planning to take partial time off day next week Tuesday because I have some appointment to attend to.

I asked my boss whether I should mark that day as a time off day or excused day. Context: if I take a partially time off day itโ€™ll be deducted from the time off days Iโ€™ve this year and same goes for excused day from my excused days.

So my boss calls me and says you sure you wanna take a time off day or excused day? I was like do I have another choice ๐Ÿ™„. Then he said you can mark on your calendar that youโ€™ve a private appointment from this to this and that should be fine.

Me being me are you sure boss ๐Ÿ‘€? And he was like yep I just donโ€™t want you to waste your time off days and excused days on smtg that takes less than half a day.

These little things are the things that makes me wanna work to prove that Iโ€™m worth his trust. May be we should apply this if weโ€™re in some leadership position whether youโ€™re a big manager or small team lead. The principle applies.

But donโ€™t spoils those brats ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Istg some ppl are born to give you a heart attack ๐Ÿ˜ญ. My advisor just asked me how my tomorrowโ€™s appointment went. Me being me and knowing my brain I was like f**k did I confuse the date in my 2gb brain and checked again after having a heart attack for 1 minute. Thankfully I didnโ€™t mix up. I was about to cry literally.

Iโ€™ve been attending a few talks this week. Iโ€™ll share the summaries in the upcoming days.
Here are the title of the talks I attended last week.

1. In memory data processing which talks about apache arrow and duckdb

2. Automated PR reviews

3. AI in browser: How agents see, think and click

4. Designing Speech transcription for news multimedia audio

I didnโ€™t get the time to summarise the talks but Iโ€™ll do it and share when Iโ€™ve time.
I'm working from home today because my gas providers decided to install a smart gas meter reader so I don't have to send my meter reads every month. Which is really nice of them. The engineer is white but he speaks black istg ๐Ÿ˜.
