Yep.

It was great.

Long story short, like we did our project in Ruby.

We fell in love with Ruby.

Some of our teammates actually, which used to know PHP, they went into Ruby jobs after that.

I instead did a master in AI.

And so I used Python for the last decade or more actually.

And well, I did a lot of things in Python, especially in modeling of AI models.

So I was a machine learning scientist and engineer.

I was a little bit in research too, in big companies, in small companies, in consultancies, all kinds of little things.

I even started my own company in 2021.

which helps supermarkets, you know, reduce their waste, their food waste, because we ordered the right amount of food using AI.

That was all Python AI microservices.

And now I started something all by myself, no VC backed.

you know, just bootstrapped.

And since I could choose whatever I wanted to do, and I could do it in the technology that I wanted to do, I obviously chose Ruby.

And that's Chat with Work.

And then what I noticed is that I didn't find the libraries that I wanted to use out there.

So there's nothing that really fit my taste.

And so I decided to build my own.
