Let me introduce myself.....apologies if I've already done and this will be a re introduction but here goes I am Shuaib, software engineer with over a decade's experience in the industry. Build many internal Web, Desktop and Mobile Apps - this includes websites, complex web apps, crms, gui, form apps, spreadsheets to android and maui mobile apps using a variety of techniques and languages. Tbh the list is too long but it's tools, skills and experience that will always be with me. Looking back I've also had an amazing opportunity to learn from VERY talented professionals from engineers to designers to managers and jacks of all traders across Health, Gov, Finance, Banking and Private industries. Now it's time to pick up tools in the world of ai.... I am so excited 😊 and can't wait to interact more with ALL of you!

The energy here is hard to describe. Every session is packed with 1,000 people or more. It has been decades since I’ve seen this many people buzzing at a conference. The excitement is palpable. But it is not just excitement. It is curiosity, concern, opportunity, and maybe a little anxiety all mixed together. You walk in and immediately see the spectacle: Elon’s presence, the Tesla Bot, and the Cybertruck sitting prominently in the center. But once you move past the flash, the deeper conversation begins. European AI laws. Copyright. Privacy. Regulation. Governance. Control. There are real questions being asked about what happens when your AI agent wakes up in the morning and starts “helping” you… while accidentally violating five different rules before breakfast. And then there is the bigger realization: AI is everywhere. Engineering. Medical. Business. Sales. Operations. Every industry. Every country. Every language. Different rooms. Different accents. Same conversation. And then the pivot… The quote of the day for me was: “We all heard that time is money. It is not. Time is life.” That line stuck with me. Because one of the quiet themes hanging in the background is this: AI has the potential to free up human time. And yet, our first instinct seems to be to use it to do more. Work more. Produce more. Respond faster. Move harder. So maybe the real question is not just, “What can AI do?” Maybe the better question is: What should AI give back to us? AI may become the most powerful productivity tool of our lifetime. But if we only use it to fill every freed-up minute with more work, we may miss the bigger opportunity. The real promise of AI is not just doing more. It may be helping us decide what is worth doing in the first place. 🌱 Food for thought. That’s my first impression from AI Week Milan. AI is moving fast, but the bigger question is whether we are moving with more purpose.

I had this discussion many times in my community: Claude, ChatGPT, and all the AIs are never able to properly determine days of the week and proper dates. I have the solution now, and it's the same one as for calculations. It needs to use code, so here goes the sentence to put in your global instruction for any AI that you're using or into your prompt if you need an AI to use a calendar or help you plan something. Here goes the sentence: "Always run code to compute or verify any date, day of the week, or time interval. Never answer date questions from memory." And the root cause is the same as for calculations. If the AI does not use code, it will just make a guess. That is why most of the time it gets it wrong.
