If computers were making the decisions, they would not be able to manage many cases, creating a gap that a startup, doing the same job, but, with a human will fill. For example, loans: from what I see, mainstream loan applications are reviewed and decided by a computer, based on some numerical data (credit score and others) supposed to measure risk. Read more...

Failure is stigmatised at school, you succeed (different levels available) or you fail (one level of failure available). In life and business failure is more often the proof of having tried something. In life and business, only the failures that kill you are important, everything else can be recovered. In business it is running out of cash. PS: I failed my AWS SA Pro exam, this is were I got the idea :) Read more...

Introduction As a way to continue learning AWS and in preparation for future certifications I want to do some experiments on AWS.

Often I get the question: “where did you buy your glasses”, well I buy them from a small shop in London, the only shop with round, colorful glasses I know and it is called blackeyewear. Read more...
