Sharing my journey as a freelancer, insights about programming, and thoughts on technology
It has been six years since I accidentally became a programmer. Start from randomly picking up freelance gigs, endup as a full-stack developer. I gave up with tutorials; I found learning by doing is the best way to learn things. Throughout the year, I'm getting better at solving other problems.
Over the last twelve months, I have tried a mix of model subscriptions, MCP tooling, and AI coding assistants. This is what has worked best for me so far.
AI has changed how we do our work, especially for programmers. From code completion to code documentation, everything can be done using the AI assistant. In this article I showing the use cases of using AI by context engineering the data and prompts before code.
Every year, the Python programming language community often runs a Python Conference (PyCon) event, where people from any background who have an interest in Python can share their knowledge and experience. This year, I found a reason to visit Japan, because in September, Python Japan usually also holds the PyCon called PyCon JP 2025. My original plan was only to visit PyCon JP, but somehow I ended up traveling together with my old friend who become my best friend. It's very exciting journey.
