battery with wires attached to it to test the speaker via its contacts. The most frequent tool used in this process was made using a straightened wire coat hanger and electrical tape. We’d attach speaker wire to the hanger and use it to lace through the nooks and crannies of the customers’ car. During my apprenticeship, I learned how to discern which tool was best for each job. Most of the teams I work on nowadays spend large amounts of time and resources investigating the litany of AI tools and technologies available. The primary goal of this research is to leverage these tools to improve our users’ and customers’ experiences. One area of research that seems promising is using natural language to build information-retrieval applications capable of gleaning information from…

I have written a bunch of articles in CODE Magazine about AI. All of them have focused on learning AI, such as image generation, creating a local chat bot, and more. But what if you’re not an AI developer? Maybe you’re a ReactJS developer writing front-end code all day long. Or maybe you write REST APIs using Python all day…

However, as applications scaled, many developers encountered the same challenge: the abundance of boilerplate code, the difficulty of tracing data flows, and the steep learning curve associated with mastering streams, subscriptions, and operators. Today, Angular enters a new era of reactivity with the introduction of Signals. Designed to be intuitive, explicit, and fine-grained, Signals offer a new reactive primitive built into the core of Angular itself. Signals aren’t just a minor addition; they represent a fundamental shift in how you model data and UI state in Angular applications. For the first time, developers have a tool that is both simple enough for local state management and powerful enough to replace large chunks of RxJS boilerplate in the UI layer. In this article, I’ll take a deep dive into Angular Signals,…
