Technology As I Know It

Image
Technology is often described in terms of speed, efficiency, or innovation. But I believe technology is, at its core, a story. Every tool we create—from the wheel to the algorithm—tells us something about who we are, what we value, and how we imagine the future. Stories are how humans make sense of the world. They give shape to chaos, meaning to events, and continuity to memory. Technology does the same. A database migration is not just a technical process—it’s a narrative of transition, of leaving behind legacy systems and moving toward something new. A cloud deployment is not just infrastructure—it’s a chapter in the story of how organizations learn to adapt, scale, and survive. When I sit at the intersection of social work and database engineering, I see these stories unfold in real time. In social services, technology is often invisible, hidden behind forms, claims, and case files. Yet its presence shapes outcomes: who gets help, how fast, and with what resources. In computing, tec...

Grab a cup of coffee, we're going back to the Great Enlightenment

Image
    Is this the smell of coffee, or a Revolution?  I sip my morning coffee not just for the caffeine—it’s a ritual, a portal. The aroma curls upward like a thought forming, and I imagine myself seated in a bustling 17th-century English coffee house, surrounded by thinkers, rebels, and dreamers. This was the birthplace of the Enlightenment’s liquid environment—a space where ideas flowed as freely as the coffee poured.  In those days, water was unsafe, and alcohol dulled the senses. But coffee? Coffee was a stimulant. It sharpened minds, awakened discourse, and replaced the fog of drunkenness with the clarity of reason. Citizens shifted from depressants to stimulants, and with that shift came a cultural awakening. The Enlightenment wasn’t just a historical moment—it was a neurological revolution.  Philosophers reference The Great Enlightenment with the concepts that ideas are networks. Neurons firing in patterns, shaped by our environment, our conversations, our s...

Logical Reasoning is a form of mathematics.

Image
  Hello Supernova Readers, As I journey toward becoming a software developer, I’ve come to realize something profound: the same logical reasoning that powers our brains also fuels the machines we build. This isn’t just about writing code—it’s about understanding how thought itself becomes structure, how decisions become algorithms, and how consciousness, in its digital form, begins with math.   In one of my recent courses, I explored how mathematical logic—especially truth tables, binary systems, and Boolean algebra—forms the foundation of programming. These aren’t just abstract concepts. They’re the invisible architecture behind every app, every database, and every decision a computer makes.   Take truth tables, for example. They’re like visual maps of decision-making. By laying out all possible inputs and outputs, they help us understand how computers evaluate statements as true or false. It’s a bit like how we weigh options in our minds—only here, the rules are crystal...

Internal Algorithm

Image
  My name is Aja, your personal supernova tech.  I study Computer Science and the world of large language models.   Can you imagine what the largest data model is?  Probably billions of rows of information.   I come with a new set of questions about the human brain's consciousness compared to the evolving algorithm of the internet.         Think of the human brain not as a stationary organ but as an evolving organic algorithm. Much like a computer program that continuously refines itself based on incoming data, our minds are always calculating, weighing options, comparing outcomes, and updating beliefs. Wouldn’t it be nice to think like a computer? Computers intake data, recognize patterns, and adjust their responses over time. But instead of being coded by developers, our brains are “programmed” by experience—layer upon layer of sensory input, emotion, and memory shaping our every thought and reaction.     We are not born...

Historical blueprint for Woman

Image
Long before the term “career” existed, women were working, gathering, crafting, trading, and healing. In early civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt, women brewed beer, wove textiles, and ran market stalls. Some, like the priestesses of Isis or the queens of Minoan Crete, held spiritual and political power. In biblical times, women like Ruth gleaned in fields to feed their families, while Deborah led armies and judged a nation. These weren’t exceptions—they were echoes of a truth: women have always labored, often invisibly, always indispensably.  The 19th-century woman brought machines into factories. Textile mills hired young women like my grandmother for low wages, sparking early labor movements. In Lowell, Massachusetts, women formed the first female labor unions. They weren’t just working—they were organizing, demanding dignity in the workplace.  During the World War era, men went to fight and women went to work. By the 1970s, women were entering professions once c...

Barbie for Local Government

Image
In 2025, my advice is to BE YOU.  Barbie is known to actively reshape her societal impact, addressing past criticisms and aligning with modern values of inclusivity, empowerment, and diversity.  Barbie is a symbol of progress—diverse, empowering, and forward-thinking. By reflecting society’s complexities and inspiring the next generation, she’s proving that a dream can change the world, one dream at a time. Barbie’s “You Can Be Anything” campaign empowers girls to pursue their dreams through over 200 career dolls, with a strong focus on STEM fields like robotics engineer and astrophysicist. In a world where women make up only 28% of STEM workers (2023 U.S. data), Barbie’s roles as coders, scientists, and engineers inspire girls to break into male-dominated fields. The Role Models line, honoring women like Viola Davis and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, connects kids with real-world trailblazers, showing that ambition knows no limits. Through self agency, Barbie's role in society, fost...
