A very online introverted nerd since 2010
My name is Mike D (MrComputerScience). I have been running this site since 2010 and published hundreds of technical articles and tutorials over the years. I taught computer science and IT to more than 30,000 students across 140+ countries.
And then AI came along and quietly made most of my old content irrelevant. So instead of pretending nothing changed, I am doing the only thing that still makes sense: giving away the best stuff I actually use right now.
I am a miserable marketer. I spend 10 to 20 hours a week deep in AI research and writing my newsletter, and almost zero time promoting anything. The fact that thousands of people now read Pithy Cyborg still confuses me on a regular basis. I have no funnel. I have no sales team. I just built this page so I could give everything away without feeling weird about it.
