Baraka Amunga on his development in Kenya’s design industry | I Know Great People

About a year ago I was telling my cousin Baraka about 1 Million Thriving Artists, a Creative Collaboration Community I was getting going here in Kenya, which led to him telling me he had been part of founding The Art Directors of Kenya which I had joined on Facebook over a decade ago. Finding that out I wanted to organize a conversation where I could pick his mind abut that process for to see how we could avoid certain challenges in 1MTA. Now we finally linked up for I Know Great people and it is another great conversation!

Wide ranging conversation about his design and professional history, some family lore, documentary about Kenya’s design Industry, planting seeds for future collaboration and much more. Confident that your enjoying it even a fraction of the amount I had having it, that will be a good investment of time.

I Know Great People is a series of conversations intended bridge the gap between our knowledge of what people can do & the perception of what they may do. Join us as we use the benefits of the Information Age to reach the State of Understanding.

AI as a Tool for Software Engineering | I Know Great People

Christopher Ruckman on to relaunch this series of conversations about the things people do. Christopher and I talk about his experience as a Software Engineer adapting to and adopting the use of large language models that are referred to colloquially as AI technology.

Will admit that some of the terminology may have been beyond me but good thing there is access to the net to search it out. I am currently starting to try out different models to see how I may be comfortable integrating the tech into my own projects. What experience with AI do you have?

I Know Great People is a series of conversations intended bridge the gap between our knowledge of what people can do & the perception of what they may do. This is part of a larger project to create a “Lived Experience Internet” of stories about existing on Spaceship Earth. Join us as we use the privilege of living in the Information Age to reach the Understanding Age.
