How ChatGPT Helped Build XRPayroll

XRPayroll began as a simple XRP interface and quickly grew into a functional payroll prototype with user management, admin roles, API calls, and stablecoin support. This article explains how AI-assisted coding—using OpenAI’s code-generation models, successors of Codex—accelerated development, enabled rapid prototyping in Vue.js and SQLite, and demonstrated how blockchain-based payroll systems can be built efficiently with modern tooling. Until recently, I was skeptical about how much AI could contribute to real-world software development. Replacing developers? No. Assisting developers meaningfully? I had my doubts. But after building XRPayroll over the course of December, my perspective changed. AI didn’t just help—it dramatically accelerated the entire development cycle. What began as a simple idea for an XRP user interface quickly evolved into a functional application with user management, admin authentication, and basic role-based access control. Much of that progress ...

What the Heck is Superposition and Entanglement?

This post is about superposition and interference in simple, intuitive terms. It describes how quantum states combine, how probability amplitudes add, and why interference patterns appear in systems such as electrons, photons and waves. The goal is to give a clear, non mathematical understanding of how quantum behavior emerges from the rules of wave functions and measurement. If you’ve ever heard the words superposition or entanglement thrown around in conversations about quantum physics, you may have nodded politely while your brain quietly filed them away in the "too confusing to deal with" folder.  These aren't just theoretical quirks; they're the foundation of mind-bending tech like Google's latest quantum chip, the Willow with its 105 qubits. Superposition challenges our understanding of reality, suggesting that particles don't have definite states until observed. This principle is crucial in quantum technologies, enabling phenomena like quantum comp...
