V rubrice Brambora s vejcem nás tentokrát do svého nitra nechal nahlédnout programmer MFF Karlovy Vary Vojta Kočárník. Samozřejmě jsme se ho i ptali, co přesně dělá takový programmer a proč se tomu neříká nějak česky. Také jsme po něm chtěli, aby se popsal ve třech slovech a z Vojty vypadlo, že by to byla popelnice směšného odpadu.

This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club.http://gotopia.tech/bookclubBarry Feigenbaum - Retired Sr. Principal Software Engineer & Author of "Go for Java Programmers"Shon Saliga - IBM Storage EvangelistCheck out more here:https://gotopia.tech/episodes/444RESOURCESBarryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/barryfeigenbaumShonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/shon-saliga-32336b2DESCRIPTIONDr. Barry Feigenbaum — an IBM, Amazon and Dell veteran with a PhD in Computer Engineering and decades of Java experience — spent time working with Go on microservices and liked it enough to write the book he wished had existed when he made the switch. In this GOTO Book Club episode with longtime colleague Shon Saliga, he walks through the core contrasts: Go is a compiled language that targets a narrower domain than Java — primarily command-line tools and web servers — but excels there with smaller binaries, faster startup, and dramatically lower container overhead. Concurrency is the headline difference: Go's goroutines are far lighter than Java threads, and its channel-based communication model sidesteps many of the problems that make concurrent Java code hard to reason about.The error handling conversation is particularly illuminating. Java's exception mechanism, while powerful, encourages developers to overuse it for ordinary error reporting — Go simply doesn't allow that by design. Errors in Go are return values, not throws; panics are reserved for truly catastrophic situations. Similarly, Go's implicit interfaces (if you implement the methods, you implement the interface — no declaration required) give the language a flexibility that feels alien to Java developers at first but becomes a strength quickly. Barry's conclusion is clear: for greenfield servers and containerized microservices, Go is worth serious consideration — and for Java developers willing to reset a few mental models, the transition is more tractable than it looks.RECOMMENDED BOOKSBarry Feigenbaum • Go for Java Programmers • https://amzn.to/4uRL3liKen Christopher, Barry Feigenbaum, Shon Salig • DOS 5: The Basic • https://amzn.to/4tKDVGsA N M Bazlur Rahman • Modern Concurrency in Java • https://amzn.to/42w8cOkBen Evans & Jim Gough • Optimizing Cloud Native Java • https://amzn.to/41nivD9Ian F.

Christian Zyp interviews VIncent Brulotte (Production Coordinator & Programmer) about the ROAD TO 40 - An EIFF Retrospective Series. This is a compilation of four films over the summer that leads up to the Edmonton International Film Festival in September. The film being featured in July will be DEAR FRANKIE at the Landmark CIty Centre Cinemas on Thursday June 25th at 7PM. DEAR FRANKIE... Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the move ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Wanting to protect her deaf son from the truth that they've run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship's progress around the globe, he discovers that it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie's father for just one day...TIX & INFO: https://eiffroadto40.eventive.org/films/dear-frankie-69f4d2b59e8128e8308d1e6a
Eng Kënschtler:inne-Residenz bitt Kënschtler:innen d'Geleeënheet, den Alldag mat all sengen nervege Flichten hanner sech ze loossen, fir sech ganz op Recherche an/oder Kreatioun ze konzentréieren. D'Demande fir esou Programmer ass grouss, an zu Lëtzebuerg gëtt et kaum nach Institutiounen, déi keng Residenzen ubidden. Esou zum Beispill Neimënster: am Gronn ginn d'Kënschtler:innen net just gratis logéiert, mee si hunn och e generéisen Aarbechtsespace zu hirer Verfügung. A si kënne sech mat aneren Artisten an Artistinnen aus aller Welt, och aus aneren Disziplinnen, austauschen, well am CCRN meeschtens e puer Residenzen zäitgläich lafen. Momentan profitéieren dovunner ënner anerem “She Goat, un duo de performatrices franglais”, wéi si sech nennen. D'Kerstin Thalau war “She Goat” besichen.
Ep. 408: Tubi programmer Ryan Lavallette on The In-Laws, Magic, 20 Questions, Arlington Road, Scorpio, Captain Ron, Report to the Commissioner, Skinamarink Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Tubi holds a special place among streamers for its free, wildly eclectic selection, and I'm not the only one who goes trawling through its selections to find something different to watch. And so for the latest episode, I had a blast talking with a member of the Tubi programming team, Ryan Lavalette, senior manager of content programming at the streamer. I picked his brain a little about how the Tubi mix is created, and then we chatted about a few movies currently on Tubi that had caught our eye for various reasons: The In-Laws (1979, with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin), Magic (1978, with Anthony Hopkins), 20 Questions (1987), Arlington Road (1999), Scorpio (1973), Captain Ron (1992), Report to the Commissioner (1975), and Skinamarink (2022).

The success of Igor Bezinović's third feature, "Fiume o Morte!," is something to marvel at. "Fiume o Morte!," is about the Croatian city of Rijeka, following its occupation by Italy. Blending absurdist re-enactments and documented record, portrayed almost entirely by first-time actors, it has been seen around the world—and was even Croatia's submission for the Academy Awards.Yet, despite the specificity of this story, "Fiume o Morte!" resonates universally in a time where an authoritarian regime is present, or has been present, on every single continent, insisting that war is necessary. That war is natural.But Bezinović rejects that. He flips the script and pokes fun at fascism with playful skits, and wit. In this episode of the VIFF Podcast, Programmer and Program Lead, Sonja Baksa sits down with Bezinović to talk about the weight of telling this story, using creativity to resist hegemony, and Bezinović's most memorable moments in cinema.This podcast is brought to you by the Vancouver International Film Festival.Presented on the traditional and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.

What happens when the church refuses to face the war hiding in plain sight?In this episode, Christina joins Tony to expose the front lines of spiritual warfare, where abuse survivors, MK Ultra programming, occult systems, and religious deception collide. Drawing from years of work in deliverance, intercession, crisis intervention, and survivor support, she explains how trauma can fracture people in ways the enemy exploits. Christina shares how God called her into strategic warfare for survivors of ritual abuse, mind control, and generational bondage. She also warns that many victims are trapped inside systems that look religious on the surface but are operating through control, sorcery, and abuse. This conversation goes deep into the battle for the children, the corruption hidden in churches and institutions, and the urgent need for discernment in the body of Christ. Christina's work is not theoretical, it is a fight for those who have been shattered, silenced, and spiritually hunted.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Jim talks with Lisa Buckingham—a veteran HR leader at Vialto Partners, US Soccer, Lincoln Financial, and Thomson—about how the LLM era is reshaping hiring and job architecture, and how companies and workers can roll with the changes. They discuss: Jim and Lisa's shared history in natural language processing labs thirty years ago—and the contrast with today, where "everybody can be an AI expert" The kind of people to hire in the age of LLMs: intellectual curiosity, learning agility, and willingness to work differently "Trust the machine, but always validate"—the principle of embracing AI while maintaining human oversight COVID as an accelerant of technology adoption Workforce adoption realities at Vialto—evangelists, pessimists, and the change management challenge Shark Tank-style internal AI contests as a model for engaging employees with new tools Why the "future of work" is dead Programmers and product managers merging roles; job architectures flattening into skills-based, fluid inventories AI's historical weight—"as pivotal as electricity"—and the limits of anyone's ability to predict machine learning's trajectory Jim's "what, when" framework and the twin failure modes of AI projects "Test and learn" as the right posture toward AI transformation, and whose responsibility "what, when" actually is—CEO, CTO, and sales as a coalition The productivity multiplier for programmers—7–10x gains—and Jim's argument that demand for software could actually increase total programmer headcount Why sales jobs are probably not highly "AI-able" anytime soon, and what salespeople need to communicate to retain relevance Lisa's personal use of Claude and Copilot 365 The leveling effect of AI for non-STEM people Jim's argument (since November 2022) that top liberal arts graduates are the most natural prompt engineers Lisa's 1999 Georgetown thesis—"Are liberal arts majors the answer to the .com era worker shortage?"—and its uncanny parallel to the 2026 humanities debate The education paradox: how Lisa's son was banned from using AI in class but required to be an AI expert for his summer internship The calculator analogy, and whether AI in education follows the same arc Resistance to the AI voice in writing Jim's technique for capturing stylistic tendencies with AI The rising costs of frictional bureaucracy and the unreasonable effectiveness of small teams What Lisa saw on a recent safari about what AI can't replace, and the choice between evolving and being overtaken Learning agility as the core HR question—how to handle employees who cannot or will not embrace AI The shifting meaning of "owning your work" … and much more.

In Season 15 episode 3, Charles Suggs sits down with Greg Medland, aka “The Elixir Fixer,” to talk about the current state of hiring and the software jobs market in 2026. Greg shares what he's seeing from both sides of the hiring process as an Elixir-focused recruiter, from shifting company expectations to the growing importance of specialization, communication skills, and real-world product thinking. We discuss how the market has changed since the 2021–2022 hiring boom, why things feel more uncertain today, and how developers are adapting to a slower, more competitive landscape. The conversation also explores how AI is affecting hiring workflows, résumé quality, technical interviews, and even the rise of fraudulent candidates. Greg explains why human relationships and reputation still matter more than ever, especially in smaller ecosystems like Elixir where community connections carry real weight. Along the way, we talk about what junior developers are up against, why senior engineers with domain expertise continue to stand out, and what developers can do to position themselves more effectively in today's market. Greg shares practical advice for building a sustainable career, developing a clear professional identity, and navigating a rapidly changing industry. Topics discussed in this episode: The current state of the Elixir job market Hiring trends and market shifts since 2021–2022 How AI is changing hiring and recruiting workflows Fraudulent candidates and AI-generated résumés Domain expertise vs. generalist engineering skills Product thinking and customer-focused development What companies are looking for in 2026 Junior developer challenges in the current market Why senior specialists remain in demand Networking and relationship-building in tech Open source contributions and visibility in the Elixir community Standing out in a crowded hiring environment Résumé quality and application strategies The role of personal branding for developers Remote work trends and geographic hiring patterns Technical interview expectations and evaluation changes Startup vs. enterprise hiring differences Human connection in an increasingly automated industry Career resilience and long-term positioning Building a sustainable software engineering career Links mentioned: Socially Responsible Recruitment https://sr2rec.com/en/ Greg's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elixirfixer/ Greg's email address: greg@sr2rec.com
Is the AI job apocalypse a marketing strategy and not an economic forecast?It's nuanced, and today we tap into first wave stats for clarity.Correlation does Not imply Causation. The divergence is real, but timing also coincides with the Fed's aggressive rate hikes and sustained tightening. That said, AI is likely to reshape the labor market—not just in the number of jobs, but in the types of roles that exist - after giants clean up the BLOAT.People think the AI job crisis is about technology, but it's really about wealth inequality. - Scott GallowayPURE FACT. Every generation has its version of this story.The one where machines come for the jobs.Where the future arrives faster than people can adapt.Where the world you knew is about to end.This time around, the story has better PR and a much bigger budget — but underneath, it's the same script.I'm not saying this is nothing to worry about - we all feel the speed. In fact, the current evolution of AI is 300X faster than the Industrial Revolution. So….here's what I keep coming back to so we can understand the middle phase of the tech boom we are living through. The loudest voices warning us about the AI job apocalypse are also the people who profit most when we believe them.Anthropic's CEO says half of all entry-level white-collar jobs will be wiped out in five years.Elon says no job will be needed.Sam Altman wrote, before ChatGPT even launched, that the price of human labor was about to fall toward zero.Notice the pattern?The people predicting an extinction-level event are the same people building the asteroid and selling tickets to watch.We've Been Here BeforeThis panic isn't new.The Nobel-winning economist Robert Shiller has shown that fears about machines replacing humans helped fuel economic downturns in the 1800s.Science fiction later convinced people that automation caused the Great Depression.Computer panic deepened the recession of the early ‘80s.His point was simple.The damage doesn't usually come from the technology itself.It comes from the story we wrap around it.People feel pain from a normal recession, blame the machines, get more pessimistic, pull back further, and the story becomes the thing that creates the outcome it warned us about.That's exactly what I think is happening right now.AI is becoming a convenient cover story for layoffs that are really about over-hiring, inflation, and tariffs.Look at the numbers.U.S. tech employment grew from 8.7 million in 2020 to 9.6 million in 2023, then went flat.Not great.Not the apocalypse either.Meta's 10% cut is just bringing the company back to its 2021 size.Microsoft's 7% cut still leaves it 47% bigger than before the pandemic.Tesla announced it was hiring more, then laid off 10% of its workforce a month later — because of weak sales, not robots.This isn't the prelude to the end of work.It's a low-hire, low-fire labor market.That's it.Three Ways This Resurgence Plays OutScenario one: the bubble pops.The Mag 10 now make up 40% of the S&P.AI stocks have driven the majority of the market's returns since ChatGPT launched.If AI sneezes, the rest of the economy gets the flu.And when that recession comes, we'll blame AI for it — even though, historically, layoffs come in recessionary bursts, not the moment a new technology arrives.Scenario two: AI delivers, just slower than they say.When something gets dramatically cheaper, we don't use less of it.We find a million new uses for it.That's Jevons paradox.When the spreadsheet launched in 1979, everyone said accountants were finished.Instead, the profession quadrupled over the next 40 years.The same pattern shows up everywhere computers got adopted heavily — employment grew faster, not slower.Programmers today are coding less and thinking bigger.They've gone from construction workers to architects.The real question for any knowledge profession isn't “will AI replace this?”It's “is the human demand for analysis, judgment, and oversight elastic?”I think it is.And I think we're about to discover how much demand has been quietly waiting for the cost of execution to drop.Scenario three: the disruption outruns us.This is the scary one.AI hits every sector at once, no policy response, full collapse of the recovery cycle.But here's the part most people miss.Real societal upheaval almost never comes from unemployment.It comes from people who are working hard and still falling behind.From the loss of economic dignity.If that sounds familiar, trust your gut.We're already living in it.What's Really Going OnInside Silicon Valley, the mood is dark.People talk seriously about a “permanent underclass” and a “limited window” to build wealth before robots take over.I think this is a shared hallucination.The same people obsessed with AI's rapid capabilities are ignoring everything else about how economies, labor markets, and human demand actually work.And here's the tell.Only Americans earning over $200,000 a year see AI as a net positive.That's not a fact about AI.That's a fact about who has access to opportunity in this country.The AI jobs panic is just the newest scene in a much older story about wealth inequality.The real disruption isn't going to come from AI.It's going to come from the public finally noticing that the people warning us about the fire are the same ones selling the smoke detectors.The AI job apocalypse isn't an economic forecast.It's a marketing campaign.We're not watching the end of work.We're watching the monetization of fear.Life is so rich. Especially when you realize your inherent creative power and the evolution of our society has bright day's ahead of us. Not the doom - change, and fast? Yes, but the Universal Law of Order is always flowing from chaos to order. Your thoughts? Here's MY thoughts on AI brought to LIFE for REAL SOLUTIONS. How I view AI.....within the SPACE of the LIGHT Between Oracle Healing Journey.“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Viktor FranklThe Light Between is the conscious, sovereign light that we must maintain between our stimuli and responses. This is the light of discernment, wonder, and creativity - the light where humans truly thrive at our full capacity, rather than merely coping.I'm building a movement to advocate for preserving this vital light. Safeguarding this Light Between will enable the mindful and beneficial integration of AI into our lives.It is the wellspring of our agency, our ability to thoughtfully shape our responses to the world. Protecting and nourishing this Light is paramount as we navigate the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in our lives.In Closing…So if this lit up your heart and minds view of all the bright potential of transforming world of opportunity, then I'd love for you to experience the LIGHT BETWEEN ORACLE JOURNEY + INTUITIVE READINGS.

In this episode of the Angular Plus Show, Lara, Jay, and Jan sit down with Tomasz Ducin to dig into how AI and LLMs are reshaping software architecture, Angular development, and the day-to-day role of developers. The conversation moves from practical AI workflows and deterministic tooling to deeper architectural choices like vertical slices, local state, plugin-based design, and “removability” as a new advantage in AI-assisted codebases. Along the way, the group discusses why communication, product understanding, and architectural judgment may matter more than ever in a world where code is becoming cheaper to generate—but still expensive to maintain.Follow us onX: @DevLifePodcastX: @AngularShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.socialThe Angular Plus Show and The DevLIfe Podcast are a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.

Ada Lovelace wrote the world's first computer program before computers existed. Her friend, Charles Babbage, was inventing an Analytical Thinking Machine, even if he all he had at the moment was a small demo model. Ada thought through what such a machine could do for humanity. Her ideas were grand and far-reaching, and in one case, extremely detailed: she published a paper on exactly how to use such a machine to calculate Bernoulli numbers. But few would recognize her work as groundbreaking until a century later when a real thinking machine (i.e., a computer) needed to be programmed in exactly that way.

This week, we go behind the curtain with Victoria's own Andrew Wilkinson. We dive into his success story that was years in the making, from his early days as a designer/programmer to his current role as a serial acquirer of world-class brands. Andrew shares the lessons he learned from his tech experience with AI, his foray into the food world, and his advice for anyone looking to build a business that lasts.
Lukas brings his expertise and passion for developer experience and learning to answer the big question, "what does mentoring look like in the age of AI and coding agents?" Lukas is a staff engineer at Weights & Biases. Coding agents are changing how software is being designed, built, and tested.

In this episode of Business Brain, Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton celebrate Casual FridAI (and Scream Day, April 24th) by flipping the script on a fear a lot of builders are sitting with right now: being de-skilled by AI as a programmer. Spoiler — it’s actually great. Instead of “I’m going to be obsolete,” you get to shift to “now I can finally do all the things I never had time for.” Dave and Shannon unpack Gell-Mann Amnesia, why embracing change beats resisting it every time, and how leaning into AI tools can unlock the charmed life you’ve been chasing instead of threatening it. From there, you’ll get into Claude Design and why Claude’s image generation is still, frankly, a joke — with real examples of where it shines and where it flops. Then the guys close with a question every entrepreneur working alongside AI is starting to ask: do I need to pay Claude CoWork a sales commission? It’s a practical look at how AI collaborators are blurring the line between tool and teammate, and what that means for how you price, credit, and build going forward. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #747 for Casual FridAI, April 24, 2026 April 24th: Scream Day 00:01:23 Being De-Skilled by AI as a Programmer…is great!

Oprah molded the minds of the 90's housewife, suppressed the satanic panic and even promoted child rape as feeling good to the victims. Oprah is a master in emotional mind control. A true high witch in the cabal of child predating sex traffickers. We are seeing her squirm now that the Epstein files release has left her more exposed than ever. Faking illness and fleeing the country, she is finally being exposed for who she is. Jaymee Jay has returned to explain the truth of Oprah and what she has been doing to our minds all these years.Find more from Jaymee here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUSKTphNVIYhttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvMyQsiDEYODEel3zK97B44lOyBVmaZE2&si=9_QWFAS28TE0cVf8Please donate to Wake the Dead!

Kate Gregory has been writing C++ for over forty years. Books, keynotes, a consulting firm she built from the ground up. At sixty-three, she's one of the most experienced programmers alive. She surveyed hundreds of software engineers about getting older. What scares you? What's changed? What have you lost? The things people feared most — memory, stamina, keeping up — weren't the real threats. The stuff that was actually breaking down was mostly fixable. A bad knee wasn't aging, it was a torn cartilage. Wrist pain disappeared when she changed how she slept. But buried in the research was something harder to fix. The single factor that predicted whether you'd age well or badly had nothing to do with your body at all. The opponent isn't aging. The opponent is the story about aging.

Happy Monday! When introducing Alyson Croft on this podcast, it sounds like I am joking when I say, “2025 was the year of Alyson Croft.” It's not a joke! Alyson wrote, produced and starred in “Jesus Loves Me,” a fantastic film that had its World Premiere at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2025, taking home the Programmer's Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking. Alyson returned later that year to the Sherman Oaks Film Festival with “Tweens,” a thrilling dramatic short that she co-wrote and performs in. No surprise that “Tweens” also took home the Programmer's Prize for Exceptional Filmmaking. On top of that, we did a little additional screening between the two festivals that included “Jesus Loves Me,” officially the last in-theater Q&A's that I may ever personally moderate. Hey, this is a big deal for me! I moderated every Q&A at two festivals for nearly a decade, but now that the festivals have grown to multiple screens I am needed elsewhere. I've still got the podcast to interview filmmakers, but Alyson will always be one of my last in-theater Q&A's.

Life and technology often make us feel like objects or devices rather than God’s created image-bearers. This devotional reminds us that we were made for connection, rest, worship, and creativity. By stepping away from screens and slowing down, we can rediscover our human purpose—to glorify God and enjoy His creation—living fully as His image-bearers. Highlights Created in God’s Image: We are designed for relationship, worship, and reflection—not as devices. Technology vs. Humanity: Modern dependence on electronics can distract us from God and others. The Beauty of Waiting: God’s timing is perfect; waiting cultivates richness and depth in our lives. Disconnect to Reconnect: Time offline allows us to experience God’s creation, hear His voice, and enjoy meaningful relationships. Living for Worship: Our purpose is to glorify God and delight in Him, giving Him attention that exceeds our screen time. This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management. If you are struggling with debt call Trinity today. Trinity's counselors have the knowledge and resources to make a difference. Our intention is to help people become debt-free, and most importantly, remain debt-free for keeps!" If your debt has you down, we should talk.

Whether we're helping people pay off their unsecured debt or offering assistance to those behind in their mortgage payments. https://trinitycredit.org Full Transcript Below: In God’s Image By Cindi McMenamin Bible Reading: “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). Have you noticed the trend? We often refer to ourselves—and our daily activities—in electronic terms as if we were devices. In our culture, as well as across the world, many people use Google as a verb and often feel more comfortable with their electronic devices than with one another. I can’t help but think it makes us feel more alone than ever—like objects rather than people, and digital code rather than designed creation. Think about it. How often have you been encouraged to plug into a church and to unplug from your busyness? After a conference or webinar, do you find yourself saying you need to defrag from information overload? And when you’re high on adrenaline, you might consider yourself wired; when you’re burnt out, you might say you’ve run down the battery. When you and I need to rest, we say we must recharge. And our interpersonal relationships are often mostly internet relationships. FaceTime used to mean what it sounds like, and it didn’t involve a phone, tablet, or laptop screen. Social used to mean talking or being with one another, not scrolling on a device. You and I were made in the image of God, not in the likeness of a smartphone. Our sustainer is God Almighty, not Apple, Microsoft, Google, or even Amazon! So how do we reclaim (or just remind ourselves of) our human status as God’s creation? How do we remember we were made in His image and for His glory? We can start by reassessing where our dependence lies. The next time you are drained of power and need to recharge your body (or your phone), let your device run dry and keep it off for an hour or two. If you fall behind on what happened on social media or you miss a call, someone can leave a message, like back in the days when instant communication didn’t dictate our lives. (With your phone off, or in the other room, you’ll be surprised how much more time and space there is in your day for creativity, meaningful conversations, and thoughtful execution of what you deem your top priority). God never told us in His Word to hurry up, produce more, or run down the battery. His words resonate at a different pace: “Be still and know that I am God,” (Psalm 46:10 ESV); and “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Yet our next-day or even “same-day delivery with Prime” has made us even more incapable of waiting on God who is not bound by time or delivery schedules. The words of the psalmists were not “Hurry up, God, I need an answer within the hour” but rather, “I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning” (Psalm 130:6 NIV). Good things, rich things, priceless things come to those who wait on God and His perfect timing. Intersecting Faith & Life Do you need to revisit some of the things humans, rather than devices, do so you can become a vintage believer who experiences the beauty of waiting on God? One of my favorite humanizing activities is my daily walk around a small lake near my home. I can’t help but recognize and adore God when I’m outside among the beauty of His creation—away from technology, mobile devices, and anything with a screen or signal. It is then that I can tune into His signals—a gentle breeze, the way He parts the clouds and sends the sun’s rays to shine through, the song of a bird, the rustle of leaves, and the reminder that “The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1 ESV). As you slow down and get outside and off your phone, you may rediscover the beauty of your Creator (not your Programmer) who calls you His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10 NLT). According to the Westminster Catechism, man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. That means we were created—or dare I say wired—for worship. Being out in the beauty of His creation and worshipping Him reminds me of the Luke 19 account when Jesus triumphantly rode into Jerusalem on a young colt, and the Pharisees demanded He rebuke His followers for waving their palm branches and crying out praise to Him, their king. Jesus told the Pharisees that if the people remained silent, “the very stones would cry out.” Our Lord must be praised. And we are the ones created in His image to do it. Don’t leave your God-given calling and purpose to the rocks! Get off your device, notice God and the people all around you, and give Him, not your phone, the attention He deserves. Lord, may zeal for Your Word, not the contents of my phone, consume me. Help my worship time to exceed my screen time, so I am reminded of the One for whom I was created.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
AI is reshaping the economy—but not always in the way most leaders expect. This episode explores why AI could matter more for plumbers than programmers, shifting leverage to trade entrepreneurs by removing operational friction rather than replacing skilled labor.
