AI has made getting answers almost effortless. Ask a question. Generate an argument. Copy the result. Move on. Ask → Generate → Copy → Move on. But there’s a problem. AI can write your argument. Can you defend it? Someone challenges your weakest assumption. Suddenly, the polished answer isn’t enough. You have to think. BecauseContinue reading “AI Made Answers Cheap. Thinking Is Still Hard.”

Two Questions That Made Me Think Differently About My Future
At the end of the fifth day of my adult learning module, my trainer asked me two questions: 13. How does sentiment analysis help organizations interpret public opinion on social media? 14. What challenges arise when performing sentiment analysis on informal or noisy social media text? At first, I struggled with the second question. MyContinue reading “Two Questions That Made Me Think Differently About My Future”
How I Fixed Conversation-State & Repetition Loops
One problem I ran into while building a dialectical conversation engine was repetition. When a user repeated or rephrased an earlier question, the assistant sometimes started the argument all over again. It would repeat points that had already been established instead of moving the discussion forward. I fixed this by adding explicit conversation-state tracking. TrackingContinue reading “How I Fixed Conversation-State & Repetition Loops”
David vs. Goliath: Turns Out Goliath Was Just a Very Confident Loading Screen
There is something oddly satisfying about trying to debug an AI chatbot that seems far more sophisticated than anything I could build from scratch. It feels a little like David bringing down Goliath. Except Goliath is a giant language model, David has a prompt box, and the weapon of choice is apparently a carefully wordedContinue reading “David vs. Goliath: Turns Out Goliath Was Just a Very Confident Loading Screen”
The Day a 500 Error Became My Goliath
There was a moment when building my app stopped feeling exciting. I had an idea. I started building it. Things were coming together, and for a while, everything felt surprisingly smooth. Then came the dreaded message: 500 Internal Server Error. Suddenly, the app that had looked so promising refused to cooperate. I wasn’t sitting inContinue reading “The Day a 500 Error Became My Goliath”
Faith in God, One Roll at a Time: What Bowling Taught Me About Trust
Sometimes God uses the most ordinary moments to teach us something extraordinary. For me, one of those moments happened on a bowling lane. I went into the first round simply intending to practice. It was far from impressive—I had about five longkang rolls, with the ball finding its way into the gutter again and again.Continue reading “Faith in God, One Roll at a Time: What Bowling Taught Me About Trust”
Middle Knowledge, Molinism, Contradiction, and the Paradox of Free Will
Introduction One of the oldest philosophical and theological questions is how human beings can possess genuine free will if God is all-knowing and sovereign. If God already knows every future choice, are our decisions truly free? Molinism, developed by the sixteenth-century Jesuit theologian Luis de Molina, attempts to answer this dilemma through the concept ofContinue reading “Middle Knowledge, Molinism, Contradiction, and the Paradox of Free Will”
Beyond the Process: Business Analysis as the Art of Understanding
When I first began the ABC Labs and GiftRonline case studies, I expected to focus primarily on analysing business problems and identifying practical solutions. I assumed the learning experience would revolve around process mapping, stakeholder requirements, data analysis, and technology implementation. While those elements were certainly present, they were not what stayed with me afterContinue reading “Beyond the Process: Business Analysis as the Art of Understanding”
When Business Analysis Became More Than a Skill: A Lesson in Wisdom and Stewardship
Over the past few days, I’ve been studying Business Analysis as part of my AI Operations journey. I expected to learn techniques for gathering requirements, analyzing stakeholders, and creating business value. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would resonate with my faith. At first glance, Business Analysis seems like a discipline centered onContinue reading “When Business Analysis Became More Than a Skill: A Lesson in Wisdom and Stewardship”
From Maps to Minds to Machines: My Accidental Curriculum
If you had asked my younger self where life was headed, I probably would have pointed at a map. Geography fascinated me. I loved understanding how mountains, rivers, cities, and people shaped one another. Every place had a story, and every border raised another question. It taught me that the world is wonderfully interconnected. ThenContinue reading “From Maps to Minds to Machines: My Accidental Curriculum”
