@jbarbier this is awesome @jbarbier .. since you left ALX, should we just forget about the new AI-revamped ALX SE we were expecting this year?

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@jbarbier @llyd_io I knew the famous #ALX_SE will be back, and now i’m glad it’s even better. But let “next year” be 1st Jan. Cz we can’t wait😅

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@jbarbier Wait… how similar will it be to the original #ALX_SE

[Julien Barbier 🙃❤️🏴‍☠️ @jbarbier]

🥳 ALL DONE! #ALX_SE on AI steroids is READY!

So excited about this new software engineering program. This is the best software engineering program we ever created.

It's ready, all on the intranet. Learners will have access to this in 2026. I think you are going to absolutely love it. If you want to be pinged when we launch, fill this form: https://t.co/FdIR8DIP7h

Big congratulations to @kalibetre @ehoneahobed and Firdaus for their incredible work. Together we made it happen in only a few months. So excited! Happy Christmas everyone!

Do you remember when you joined X? I do!

Wow.. 2 years! It's just yesterday when I created this account while In Japan at a time!

Cheers to all my students 🔥💙

It's 2 am, and I'm up reflecting on my life and where I want to be in 6 to 8 months.

Inspired by @karpathy 's NotebookLM project, I gave the codebase of Llama-3 Architecture to NLM and used Rag to find the perfect images to sync with the generated audio.

The result exceeded my expectations. Google's NotebookLM is truly amazing :)

It feels like yesterday to me, but it's exactly 200 days since I started learning German and some Japanese. Crazy how time flies, also makes wonder how invisible we'd be if we stick to all our learning commitments or closely follow the "perfect" roadmaps we set.

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

I’m going to @jbarbier’s upcoming Space. Will you join too?

@jbarbier @HanRac_ This is a powerful advice @jbarbier 🤝. It's counterproductive to avoid using AI when it's already here to stay. I deliberately avoided using AI in ALX at first, but then realized, why slog through countless Google searches when AI can explain & clarify things much faster!

[Julien Barbier 🙃❤️🏴‍☠️ @jbarbier]

@HanRac_ Depends on context. If you are working then anything that helps shipping faster. If you are learning, anything that helps explain to you in a way you learn faster.

@oluchristian0 Uh.. that's so quick lol

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@oluchristian0 What sprint is the interview prep?

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@maxwelldorliea @alx_africa Man that's inspiring. Congratulations!

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@jbarbier This is a good initiative Julien. AI is fun to use and build. It's the reason why I'm doing #ALX_SE, tho I don't need superb programming skills to do AI, infact I'm already building some, but being the best can't hurt either. And @alx_africa is here to accelerate that process.

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

@oluchristian0 Sometimes they just list whole books!. In the first weeks of #ALX_SE, Marteen advises how you don’t actually need to study all them at once. Trick is to look day's objectives and come back to needed parts as you progress through tasks. You've got this!!

[Derrick @_m_derrick]

At a point where I almost know something about any topic in tech sector. Have an intellectual conversation, get a few internships etc. Next 7-12 months is when I move myself from that "Knowledge level" to "Expert level". That's where #ALX_SE #Udacity #Coursera all come into play.
