The AI guy and founder of Caprycon
Today, I was coding for my startup, Caprycon , on my laptop running Kubuntu 26.04 LTS. I looked down at the bottom right of my screen to check the time and noticed it was stuck at 6:10 PM. Updating my date and time settings did nothing. When I tried to switch applications by clicking the icons on my KDE Plasma taskbar, they were unresponsive. That's when I realized the entire taskbar had frozen.…

I've been preparing my workstation for AI development and plan to build everything inside Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) using Ubuntu. This is a quick guide on installing the CUDA toolkit on Ubuntu WSL. It assumes you already have your Ubuntu WSL instance up and running. Verifying GPU Detection in WSL First, let's verify that the NVIDIA drivers are working and actively detecting your graphics…
Zig is a general-purpose programming language built for simplicity, performance, and reliability. Andrew Kelley created it in 2015 as a modern successor to C. It offers direct interoperability with existing C code while eliminating common C and C++ pitfalls like hidden control flow, macro complexity, and fragile build systems. Zig stands out through its explicit error handling, compile-time code…
I have been learning Rust on and off for a while now. I usually build small projects to get comfortable with the syntax and the compiler. Those are great for learning, and there is no shortage of tutorials out there, but I hit a wall. Following one guide after another only taught me the syntax. I felt stuck. I wanted something that would actually challenge my thinking, not just make me good at…
I’ve been using DeepSeek Chat for a while now, probably longer than I’d like to admit. Over time, I’ve stumbled onto a few methods that completely changed how I interact with it. When I first started, I’ll be honest, I treated it like a slightly smarter search engine that I could text like a person. I’d type in a quick question, get an okay-ish answer, and call it a…
If you've been following the Linux development experience on Windows, you've likely seen buzz about WSL Container. On June 29, 2026 , Microsoft officially announced the public preview of WSL Container – and it's not a distant concept; you can try it today. Back at Microsoft Build 2026 earlier this month, the feature was teased, and many mistakenly called it "WSL 3." Microsoft Program Manager…
In the Snap store, edge and beta are two of the four predefined release levels, officially known as "channels." These determine the stability of a software release. Think of them as a pipeline that software progresses through as it becomes more stable and ready for general use. Let's talk about the two. Edge. The edge channel is for users who want to closely track the very latest development…
I’ve put together a basic Neovim configuration that relies entirely on Neovim’s native features. This setup avoids third‑party plugins, making it lightweight, fast, and easy to understand — perfect if you’re just starting out or want a minimal environment. Link to the GitHub repository . You can find the configuration on my GitHub repository. To get started, simply clone it to your local machine.…
