Preface: A Noob’s Journey into Agentic AI

Although the AI surge felt like it was simmering for years, I jumped on the bandwagon relatively late—around November 2025.

My very first interaction with AI was Perplexity through its web interface. As a complete novice, my expectations were honest and naive. It took multiple conversational iterations and several frustrated hours to finally grasp what an “AI hallucination” actually meant. Soon after, I tried Google’s Gemini web interface. While helpful for reading bedtime stories out loud to my kids, it didn’t immediately feel game-changing for engineering tasks.

Immutable Atomic Linux Distirbutions

Of late, I’ve been hearing a lot of (good) things about Immutable Linux Distributions, from friends, colleagues and mentors. It has been something on my plate for some time, to explore.
