Early in my career I thought working harder was the answer. It wasn't. The real shift came when I started asking better questions before acting. Clarity beats effort almost every time.
The latest push for on-device AI is the right direction. Less cloud dependency means better privacy and lower latency. Still, I wonder how smaller devices will handle the compute load without overheating. Curious to see the next round of chips.

Quick tip for following Middle East news: pick two or three trusted outlets from different regions and read them side by side. One source alone can miss context that another catches, and you'll spot the spin faster.
