I know writing "toy" software has exposed me to new tools I might not have otherwise even known about.

I can't afford much n the way of software, so I've been trying to learn to make do with FOSS.

In this video, we explore what graph databases are and how you can get started with *Neo4j*, one of the most popular tools in the space.

We'll walk through:

* What makes graph databases different from relational databases * Real-world use cases like friend recommendations and fraud detection * A beginner-friendly intro to Cypher, Neo4j’s query language * How to set up your own graph database in the cloud or locally

Whether you're just starting out in tech or you're autistic and curious about how your brain might naturally "click" with complex data structures, this is for you.

If you're interested in the intersection of *autism and programming*, you'll find that graph theory and database design can actually be intuitive and empowering.

*Want to see the relationships between people, places, or products — clearly?* Graph databases make that possible.

I got ADHD so here's the short and sweet as explained to me by (ironically) ChatGPT:

they essentially subjected various LLMs including GPT and DeepSeek-R1 to the prisoner's dilemma and changed the circumstances to see if those models would adapt, or would stick to using an existing solution.

the LLMs adapted.

Notably, these LLMs aren't actually programmed to do that, making this adaptability most impressive.

It's hard to say how many ADHD diagnoses are illegitimate without knowing how each diagnosis was brought about.

A good diagnosis looks for evidence from childhood, in the form of school reports, a survey from someone who knew the patient as a child, etc.
