She uses wix or something
I do my own coding with python3, even if I'm not always perfect
I will always code and program, so in 20 - 30 years...
I'll be very skilled at it
I consider myself among the more technologically literate public figures
I would say, LHL comes close; I focus more on higher-tech applications engineering
But Chamath would likely exceed me in certain areas
A challenge in tech has been Facebook's use of PHP under Zuck
And Larry and Sergey used Java for Google
While I use Python, it has its own challenges
I guess Python is a higher-level language compared with C or C++
Insta, for example, was bought by FB
I also saw Instagram have some outages, whereas FB's PHP-based systems handled load differently
Wordpress is, I think, PHP based too
So newer isn't always better
TikTok is most likely Python, which even cousin Chadu can code in; we were discussing chatgpt AI APIs that Yasendra set up
I think TikTok uses Python because I saw i18n-related .py files for internationalization settings
Which I have used too
My server experienced many attacks, so it was set up more to withstand attacks than to serve
I also disabled many features to reduce the attack surface, such as disabling search, WSGI, and other components
In highschool, like the Bowling for Soup song and Bill Gates, I joined the chess club, but I think I would have done better starting a "Computer Club" at Colombo International School
I like technology, especially with AI assistance
I can miss small typos, which AI can detect better, saving weeks, months, or at least hours of frustration
I think in web design, beauty doesn't always equate to effectiveness; often more utilitarian sites like Alibaba or Wordpress can outperform visually polished sites built with tools like Wix or some leading brands
I admire Chat GPT's breakaway staffers who formed a simple one-page HTML website with no CSS
I love simplicity
There isn't fancy tech, animation, or sound on my blog or diary, but it's still effective because of its simplicity
There is advanced technology here and a lot of entertainment, music, and strategic value
Behind the curtain, you can see the work that goes into it — like the Wizard of Oz
A lot goes into the final product you find here!
