The question sounds absurd at first glance—right up there with “Can my toaster run for Congress?” Yet here we are in 2026, watching AI systems become increasingly sophisticated contributors to our digital infrastructure. Some of them literally write code, review pull requests, and suggest architectural decisions. So maybe it’s time we ask: should these digital citizens get a say in how open-source projects govern themselves? The Paradox We’re Not Talking About Let me paint you a picture....
If you’ve ever wondered whether making a game is something “only for game studios,” let me burst that bubble for you—it’s not. Thanks to Pygame, you can create fully functional games with nothing but Python and your determination. Whether you’re dreaming of building the next indie darling or just want to impress friends at the next gathering (“Wait, you made this?”), this guide will get you there. Why Pygame? (Or: Why Your Python Dreams Don’t Have to Stay Dreams) Before we dive headfirst into the code, let me paint the picture of why Pygame deserves a spot in your developer toolkit....
If you’ve ever built a web scraper, you know that feeling—the moment you hit “run” and realize you’re potentially committing a digital crime. Or maybe you’re not. Nobody really knows anymore. Welcome to the delightfully murky world of web scraping legality, where even lawyers show up to court with a shrug and a PowerPoint presentation. The truth is, web scraping exists in a legal Bermuda Triangle. It’s not universally illegal. It’s not universally legal....
How a Norwegian Defence Project Accidentally Revolutionized Programming Forever Let me tell you a story about how some brilliant Norwegian researchers set out to solve a specific problem in the early 1960s, and ended up fundamentally transforming the entire landscape of software development. Spoiler alert: they had no idea they were about to create one of the most influential programming paradigms in history. The Birth of an Idea: Monte Carlo Simulations and Late-Night Frustrations Back in the late 1950s, Kristen Nygaard was working on Monte Carlo simulations at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE)....
If you’ve spent any time near a tech conference, a venture capital pitch meeting, or literally any LinkedIn post from the past three years, you’ve probably heard it: quantum computing is the future. More specifically, quantum computing is the future that will replace AI. It’s the narrative that keeps on giving—and by giving, I mean generating headlines, funding rounds, and an impressive amount of confusion about what these technologies actually do....
