Running Code AI Locally: An Engineering Reality Check

Over the last couple of days, my LinkedIn feed has been flooded with euphoric posts about “Code AI” and “local coding assistants”. Screenshots of terminals, bold claims about productivity exploding, and the familiar undertone that if you are not running an LLM locally via Ollama, OpenCode, or Copilot, you are already falling behind. I know […]

Teaching a Machine to Recognize Traveling Bears

This project did not start as an attempt to build a generic image recognition system or to benchmark computer vision frameworks. It started with three teddy bears that have been traveling with me since 2017. Over the years, they have accompanied me on flights, through airports, into hotel rooms, conference venues, cafés, and occasionally onto

Vibe Coding: Why It Feels Productive and Why It Fails Engineering

There is a growing belief that software engineering has become an optional skill and a 20-dollar subscription with the right prompts can build complex systems without understanding architecture, versioning, security, or operational reality. Engineers, according to this narrative, are a bottleneck that can be removed. I am skeptical of claims like these, but I do

The Hardest Part of Machine Learning Isn’t the Machine Learning

Spend enough time in the AI space and you start to notice a pattern. There’s a lot of talk about modeling—neural architectures, parameter tuning, accuracy curves, and leaderboard rankings. And yet, when you actually try to bring an ML system into production, the modeling phase feels oddly… smooth. Controlled. Even pleasant. Because the real chaos?It

Navigating AWS SageMaker and Bedrock: Understanding Their Differences and Use Cases

In the landscape of AI and machine learning, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced two major services—SageMaker and Bedrock—that cater to the needs of developers and businesses seeking to deploy machine learning (ML) models at scale. Although both services enable the integration of AI into various applications, their use cases and functionalities differ significantly, warranting
