“I haven’t heard about any AI-forward projects [in the Caribbean]” – that’s a quote from a recent episode of This Week In Caribbean Tech. Admittedly, I first saw the episode it was via this tweet: The long tail of my disagreement started when I saw the tweet and it continued to percolate for a good […]

Doing new things can be hard. Still try. That’s it, that’s the whole post.
Development-as-a-Service
It’s early days yet, but the sooner we face the music, the more ready we’ll be to adapt. I was listening to “Precious Things” from a recent Lupe Fiasco album. In it, he personified his hands and sang about the conflict he, the artist was engaged in with his instruments of expression – his hands. […]
Azure Skills Navigator (a real one)
I saw this tweet from @msdev: I literally read the first line and thought, Yes! They’re doing that cool thing I’d envisioned a while back. I clicked through to the post. That’s when I saw what I should have seen in the second line of the tweet, “…a ramp-up guide for developers”. Bummer. I mean, […]

“…my brother is totally interested in becoming a game developer”
How do people learn things these days? I saw this great question on Facebook, and dropped a really quick simply reply to get the OP moving: For people who know me, they’d recognize that as standard draft from me, a version of “let me Google that for you”. I hope the text of it helps […]
Abolish SEA: v1
The way I see it, I’ve got four years to convince the nation that we need to get rid of the Secondary Entrance Assessment. Normally, I use this space to talk about tech, and particularly tech I’ve used to experiment and make new things. So, as you can imagine, I’m not going to leave that […]
Situational Intel: Fusing Running, Falling & Growing.
I’m going to try to bring together Fusion, Power Hour and Lighthouse to Breezy. It feels kind of simple. Fusion. I participated in the Fusion Adventure Race last year. There were six official courses to the one event overall. Personally, I did nine course runs. Teleios Power Hour. If you can struggle through Fusion, you […]
