Beyond Coding

Gemini(AI) continues to offer good places for me to start researching and/or exploring – so I have decided to ask Gemini(AI) – to see where it leads.

The prompt I gave Gemini(AI) went something like this: In reference to my interest in the comparison of JAVA and NLP – what other career path(s) or how can I use my interest (Neurolinguistic Programming) within the IT/Programming field?

Gemini(AI) again stated that:

“The contrast in your experience—being deeply engaged…

Focusing On My Interest

I took a couple of JAVA classes throughout my career. One particular class stands out – it was broken up into two sections. The first section was taught by the main teacher – he compared JAVA (object-oriented programming) to NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming). I was fully awake and listened intently. At one moment I briefly glanced around the classroom, everyone else seemed bored.

The second half of the class was taught by the assistant teacher, he went into the specifics (syntax, etc) of JAVA programming. The whole class became engaged – asking question after question. I could barely,…

Principal Software Engineer In The Age Of AI

Rumor has it that Software Engineers are going to lose their jobs due to AI’s ability to write code, and write code quickly. Recent articles tell a story of junior programmers, from Code Camps & straight out of college, unable to find work. AI-powered tools are automating basic coding tasks, which has reduced the need for junior developers and intensified competition for remaining roles.

As I am looking for work myself,…

Does DeepSeek Really Use Less Energy?

As the days grow shorter and the cool breeze of fall begins to set in, I find myself thinking about energy in a new way. Just as we tuck into cozy sweaters and light candles to save on heat, the tech world is wrestling with its own version of “energy conservation.” Artificial Intelligence—our modern marvel—

Where To Now? (5)

I have had a couple of days to let all this sink in and I am wondering if Geophysics is really something I would like to pursue, as a career. I can see it as a hobby but my interest has waned. I will continue to keep it as an option, though. I did come across a Geophysics website,…

Where To Now? (4)

I have to admit that I do like the fact that there is a way to get into the field and not have to go back to school. Now taking a class or two is fine, it is what I do all the time to keep current. With the knowledge that I could possibly get into the field with my current skill set I took ChatGPT on its…

Where To Now? (3)

I decided to start with Geophysics. The Career/Career Change books I’ve read, tend to advise me to pay attention to things that give me energy and to look at things I liked when I was younger. It will also be nice to finally see where my interest in Electromagnetic Energy takes me.

A geophysicist is a scientist who studies the Earth’s…

Where To Now? (2)

After I graduated from Grad School and was looking for my first job, I became interested in Electromagnetic Energy. I have no idea (at this moment) where this interest came from, the closest thing I can think of is reading “Celestine Prophecy” and…

Where To Now (1)

I previously wrote an article about my dislikes of the current recruiting process. My dislike for ATS (focusing on keywords) and the advice given to 50+ job searchers… definitely OLD advice. Writing the article was therapeutic, which…
