TILs - Today I Learned
Daily Insights and Micro-Learnings
Welcome to my TIL (Today I Learned) collection. This is a digital garden where I document small, daily discoveries, snippets of code, and interesting facts I encounter while working on Arabic NLP, Machine Learning, Python, and AI Engineering.
In the fast-paced world of technology, especially within the AI and NLP domains, we often encounter small but critical pieces of information that solve specific problems. These might be a particular Python library’s edge case, a Rust performance tip, or a specific nuance in processing Arabic script. This repository is my way of capturing those “lightbulb moments” before they fade.
Unlike my long-form blog posts, these notes are brief, unpolished, and focused on single, specific topics. They serve as a quick reference for myself and hopefully a helpful resource for others facing similar technical challenges. If you’re looking for my more structured work, you can check out my Research Papers or my Open Source Projects.
Why I Maintain a TIL?
Documenting small wins and learnings daily helps in:
Knowledge Retention: Writing it down reinforces the learning and forces a clearer understanding of the solution.
Quick Reference: Finding that specific regex, shell command, or obscure PyTorch function I used last month becomes effortless.
Sharing Value: Even a small note can save someone else hours of debugging. I believe in the power of shared knowledge to elevate the entire engineering community.
Tracking Progress: It provides a chronological record of my technical evolution and the various challenges I’ve tackled over time.
What You’ll Find Here
The TILs cover a wide range of topics that reflect my daily work and interests:
Arabic NLP: Tips on handling RTL text, tokenization strategies, and model fine-tuning.
AI Engineering: Insights into MLOps, model deployment, and infrastructure optimization.
Programming Languages: Snippets and best practices for Python, Rust, and Go.
Developer Tools: Productivity hacks, CLI tricks, and configuration tips for Linux and macOS environments.
