I spend way too much time doing things my computer could do for me. Renaming files. Opening the same apps. Copying data between spreadsheets. Moving screenshots to folders. It's the kind of work that doesn't require thinking — just repetition — and it drains your actual productive hours like a slow leak. Last month, I decided to stop being lazy about…
Read moreI was skeptical. Really skeptical. When GitHub Copilot first landed on my radar, I thought it was one of those tools that looked impressive in demos but fell apart in real work.

Read moreI used to think privacy online was something only paranoid people worried about. Then my email got hacked, my location data ended up in a data broker's database, and I found out my Netflix password was sitting in a leaked credential dump. That's when I realized I'd been doing almost everything wrong. Here's what I've learned the hard way,…
Read moreBuilding a website used to mean learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—or paying someone hundreds of dollars to do it. Not anymore. I've spent the last few weeks testing every major free website builder available, and I can tell you that some of them are genuinely solid, while others will make you want to throw your laptop out the window.
