Thatfirst day, I popped the pill into my mouth and swallowed it down with a sip of water. Tamoxifen was not just a pill that might help make my periods less painful. Starting to take it was, more importantly, the conclusion to my breast cancer experience.

As a 47-year-old, perimenopausal woman, I'd had hot flashes before, but this was of an intensity unlike anything I'd ever experienced and, even worse, it was not a flash at all. This seemed to have no end. Still, I thought, maybe my body just needed time to adjust?

It was as if suddenly I had an entirely different emotional toolkit than I'd had for all of my adult life. Things that previously would have been small stressors became a jumping-off point for uncontrollable thoughts of uncertainty and rumination. Bigger worries felt insurmountable. Was this normal?

Eight months after finishing treatments and taking my first dose of Tamoxifen, I was sure of four things. One, the hot flashes had gotten better or I was so used to them, that I didn't notice as much. Two, my doctor had been right about my period; the cramps were better. Three, I was not emotionally the same person.

I kept thinking back to a few months before. At every doctor's office, I was handed lists of instructions, rules to follow, and told what to expect. The first of an endless array of gifts of encouragement I received just after being diagnosed, was a six-pack of socks with things like "brave," "warrior," and "courage" written across the toes.

Sitting in exam rooms, I'd stare down at my feet, read those words, and do my best to embody what they said. Other days, I'd tell myself not to think and repeat a mantra, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming" over and over again. If I could just get to the other side, it would all be over, and I could go back to my life.

Through 21 days of radiation treatments, I made friends with the two technicians. In between telling stories about our children, one of them would invariably ask, "How are you today?" and I knew I could tell him the truth.

And then it ended, and I was on my own. No scripts to follow, no socks, no follow-up conversations with the people who had been in it with me. All of those things had gotten me through the during parts of breast cancer but what I hadn't anticipated, was the after.

I didn't know that even if I made it out okay, I still might not be okay. What was wrong with me? Shouldn't I just be happy it was over? Shouldn't I just be grateful that, unlike so many others, I was lucky enough to be on the other side?

What I didn't tell them was in the weeks leading up to the scans, I was so riddled with anxiety I could barely cope with day-to-day life. Or that this little white pill I had to take to prevent the cancer from coming back had turned me into a person I barely recognized and exacerbated every mental weakness I possessed.

Or that my PTSD and fear of recurrence was so bad, I was barely sleeping most nights. Or that ever since I had cancer, every doctor I had gone to had run additional tests or scans because I was now in a different category than someone who didn't have that word on their medical records.

"With your history, it would be best to make sure," they would say. What I wanted to ask was, how was I now a person with a history? On paper, it made no sense. For decades, I had never been to a doctor for anything more than a sinus infection. Genetic testing showed I had no links to cancer.

I spent almost a year stuck in this limbo until one day, I found myself sitting on another doctor's table begging for help. "You don't have to do this alone," she said. A week later, I started therapy.

It has been two years since then. I have had progress and setbacks. I have learned that many breast cancer patients struggle with side effects from medication and the emotional aftermath of having cancer.

Sometimes now, when I'm dressing, I catch a glimpse of my lumpectomy scar in the mirror, so faint unknowing eyes might not even notice it. I think about the day just after surgery when the bandages were removed. As they were slowly peeled away, I was so scared to see what was beneath, I had to force myself to look.

There, on the outer side of my left breast was a puckered slice, red against the ivory white of my skin. Seeing it made it real, tangible. But over the months, as I watched it fade, I knew my body was healing.

My emotional wounds may have been invisible but they were there, too and I needed to acknowledge them in order to move forward. And slowly, through endless boxes of tissues and a therapist who once a week allows me to tell her how I really am, I am.

Early in my software career, I was placed on a project midstream in order to help increase the velocity of the team. The main purpose of the software was to configure custom products on ecommerce sites.

I was tasked with generating dynamic terms and conditions. There was conditional verbiage that depended on the type of product being purchased, as well as which US state the customer was located in due to legal requirements.

The concept of artificial intelligence has been around for quite some time, although the high profile advances have raised concerns in the media as well as Congress. Artificial intelligence has already been very successful in certain areas. The first one that comes to mind is chess.

Chess always starts with 32 pieces on 64 squares, has well documented officially agreed upon rules, and most importantly has a clearly defined objective. In each turn, there are a finite number of possible moves. Playing chess is just following a rules engine. AI systems can calculate the repercussions of every move to select the move most likely outcome to capture an opponent's piece or gain position, and ultimately win.

There has been another front where AI has been very active - self driving cars. Manufacturers have been promising self-driving cars for quite some time. Some have the capacity to self-drive, but there are caveats. In many situations the car requires active supervision; the driver may need to keep their hands on the wheel, the self-driving feature is not autonomous.

Like chess-playing AI programs, self-driving cars largely use rules-based engines to make decisions. Unlike the chess programs, the rules on how to navigate every possible situation are not clearly defined. There are thousands of little judgments drivers make in a given trip avoiding pedestrians, navigating around double-parked cars, and turning in busy intersections. Getting those judgments right means the difference between arriving at the mall safely or arriving at the hospital.

After all these questions, the team came to the same conclusion. We decided it would be best not to go through with it. Believe it or not, I'd say this was actually a successful outcome. It would have been more wasteful to have gone ahead without a clear resolution for all of the potential errors when invalid user data was submitted.

Is the idea behind using AI to create software to just let those same stakeholders talk directly to a computer to create a SMS based survey? Is AI going to ask probing questions about how to handle all the possible issues of collecting survey data via SMS? Is it going to account for all the things that we as human beings might do incorrectly along the way and how to handle those missteps?

In order to produce a functional piece of software from AI, you need to know what you want and be able to clearly and precisely define it. There are times when I'm writing software just for myself where I don't realize some of the difficulties and challenges until I actually start writing code.

Over the past decade, the software industry has transitioned from the waterfall methodology to agile. Waterfall defines exactly what you want before any code is written, while agile allows enough flexibility so you can make adjustments along the way.

So many software projects using waterfall have failed because the stakeholders thought they knew what they wanted and thought they could accurately describe it and document it, only to be very disappointed when the final product was delivered. Agile software development is supposed to be an antidote to this process.

AI might be best suited to rewrite the software we already have but need to rewrite it to use newer hardware or a more modern programming language. There are still a lot of institutions with software written in COBOL, but there are fewer programmers learning how to use it. If you know exactly what you want, maybe you could get AI to produce software faster and cheaper than a team of human programmers. I believe AI could create the software that has already been created faster than human programmers but that's because someone figured out what that software should do along the way.

Some hard parts need to be redrawn every one to two weeks while others can last for up to four weeks without a follow-up visit to the barber. Upkeep will depend on a few factors: the width of your hard part (thicker parts will be more noticeable growing in than finer ones), the accompanying hairstyle (some parts organically blend into certain hairstyles when growing out), and your personal preference on how clean and crisp you want your hard part to appear."}},"@type": "Question","name": "Do I need to go to the barber to get a hard part or can I do it myself?","acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer","text": "Since a hard part requires precision cutting all the way to the scalp, it's recommended to see a skilled barber rather than attempting to DIY at home.","@type": "Question","name": "How should you style your hair with a hard part?","acceptedAnswer": "@type": "Answer","text": "If you have some length on top, you can comb your hair over to the opposite side of your hard part or tousle to create texture.
