Hey there! In this blog post, I dive into a range of fascinating topics, from understanding how French drains work to building a two-stroke engine from scratch with basic hardware store parts. I also explore why you should do quests instead of goals, share a life-saving sleep study experience, offer tips on improving your math skills, discuss Airbnb’s transition from monolithic architecture, and explain how AI models can diagnose HVAC issues. Enjoy!
