Fun Fact
Students can supercharge their learning by leaning on open‑source tools instead of bloated apps. Running offline AI models on a lightweight Linux distribution like Arch Linux gives maximum control, efficiency, and resilience. It reduces burnout because you’re not weighed down by unnecessary software, and it teaches you how systems really work under the hood.
Random Dev Quote
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
