How will the modern software developers adapt to the changing AI landscape?

On this special episode of DevLand Diaries, we talk education with none other than U.S. Senator John Kennedy. Get ready to hear what some Americans think about the U.S. education system while big tech gets a free pass. Get ready for some more big names, children are bi-partisan. We're going to prove it!

A boy grows up labeled “hyperactive,” “distracted,” even “unteachable.” He never does his homework; he has no fancy tech degree. Fast-forward: That boy grows up to build a robotics company and an AI platform. That boy was me. I beat the odds because I found my passion in coding and robotics outside the classroom. Now, I’ve created DevLand Academy to give every misunderstood kid that same chance. The ones who were called disruptive might be the ones to disrupt industries.

In this fiery DevLand Diaries episode, host Michael Kessler dives headfirst into Donald Trump’s bombshell 245% tariff proposal on Chinese goods. Is it economic genius or geopolitical gaslighting? With Xi Jinping maintaining a poker face and the global tech supply chain hanging by a thread, Michael unpacks the absurdity, propaganda, and sinister game of economic chess unfolding beneath the surface. From shattered development pipelines to the rise of a digital Cold War, this episode reveals how nationalism, trade wars, and political theater are reshaping the rules of innovation. No punches pulled. No side taken. Just truth—served with sarcasm and static.

In this episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler dismantles the myth of passive machine learning and takes aim at the data gluttony of Big Tech. He introduces active learning—the rebellious cousin of traditional ML—where models stop waiting to be spoon-fed and start asking the right questions. This isn’t just about more innovative algorithms; it’s about democratizing AI, cutting costs, and flipping the power dynamic. If your machine isn’t curious, it’s obsolete. Welcome to the future of machine learning—leaner, meaner, and much smarter.

In this episode of DevLand Diaries, we pull back the curtain on a trend that's as old as the resume itself—but with a high-tech twist. Today, we're diving into how some savvy (and sometimes shady) professionals are using ChatGPT and other large language models to beef up their resumes, often bending the truth in the name of landing that dream job. We explore the clever (and not-so-innocent) tactics behind the digital resume embellishments, examine the trends fueling this AI-assisted resume renaissance, and scrutinize the mitigation strategies HR departments and tech recruiters are deploying to keep it real. Balancing a forward-thinking view with a good dose of traditional no-nonsense values, we'll tell it like it is: from nostalgia for hard-earned experience to the cutting-edge tools reshaping modern recruitment, nothing escapes our critical, witty, and sometimes eyebrow-raising take on resume fraud. Join us for a spirited, equally eye-opening and entertaining conversation, and learn how to separate genuine talent from digitally enhanced storytelling.

Forget what the leadership books told you—startups aren’t democracies. In this no-holds-barred episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler drops the hammer on power struggles, weak consensus culture, and ego-fueled sabotage. If you’re a founder trying to build fast and ship hard, this is your wake-up call: sometimes, a little dictatorship is the difference between dying in committee and dominating the market.
