Programming in the AI Era: Rethinking the Profession

We live on the cutting edge of change. For the first time in the history of programming, we have a partner that writes code faster than us. Not a library, not a framework, but genuine intelligence capable of understanding context and generating solutions.

This is not just a new tool. This is a turning point in the profession.

Technical Communication: How to Explain Complex Things Simply

You can write perfect code, but if you can’t explain why it’s needed, it’s useless. Technical communication is the skill that separates seniors from middles.

Quantum Computing Basics: Qubits and Superposition in Go

Hey there! 👋

While everyone’s talking about AI, real geeks are already studying quantum computing. This isn’t science fiction - it’s the mathematics of the future that will break all modern cryptography.

Google claimed quantum supremacy, IBM launched cloud quantum computers, and Microsoft is investing billions in quantum technologies.

But how does it work? And can we simulate quantum computing in Go?

Let’s explore qubits, superposition, and quantum gates with practical Go examples 🚀
