About this listen

Because in tech, and in life, you don’t get what you deserve. You get what you explicitly ask for. I'm Ibrahim Diallo (ID). I’ve been coding since dial-up was cutting-edge, worked in tech for 30 years, and somehow I’m still under 40. I skipped college and boot camps, but I’ve built (and broken) enough systems to know what actually matters. This show isn’t fluff. No hype, no "learn AI in 5 minutes." Every episode gives you real, quotable, weaponizable knowledge. You’ll leave entertained, but more importantly, you’ll leave with an unfair advantage.Ibrahim Diallo

  • Factional Drifts
    Feb 25 2026

    There is a rich ecosystem the grows in the comment section of any popular article. It starts with people expressing their opinion in support or against the article. But this doesn't last very long.

    Soon enough, you see factions forming. Some people talk about the tech mentioned. Some talk about philosophy in general. Some introduce new elements and the discussion takes a life of it's own.

    I call these Factional Drifts. Join me as I explore 3 articles that went viral and they factions they created along the way.

    The more you think, the better you get at it. But the opposite is also true. The mind is a muscle, and leave it unstrained and it will atrophy.

  • Programming tools are forever free
    Feb 20 2026

    New programmers are facing a new reality. It's now pay to play. Every bootcamp or certificate requires you pay for some tools to learn the very basic.

    I'm here to tell you the free tools I've used in the past are still live and well. You don't need to break the bank to get started.
