A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
At the start of a 2 hour 7 minute TGV ride from Paris to Valence, his shop did not exist. Talking with AI, connected through a new MCP link and without opening the WiziShop admin once, the shop was online by the time he arrived.
Alistair Barr gave his Dot an old edition of his AI Insider newsletter as a Google Doc and told it to try a test run in the workplace newsletter tool, using the written how to guide. The Dot logged in for him, with a password click and a two factor code from his phone, and about five minutes later sent back a test draft his editor called 95% good.
Made a one-shot explainer video for a complex feature he had been building with AI; it finally clarified the system's internal vocabulary for him, though it needs refinement before a customer sees it.
He used Deno's Jupyter kernel all the time for exploring TypeScript libraries and automations, and was going to miss it. He pointed the AI at the problem and the result is cdp-kernel, Deno's Jupyter kernel extracted to run notebooks on any V8 runtime, now on GitHub.
DoltLite, a SQLite fork with Git-style version control, was built with 2k agent PRs and released in beta.
He had the AI watch his online trainings and take the tests for him, and he collected 40 certificates in one day. He told it not to get perfect scores every time, and he says the system is broken if this works.
Spent two days planning, then the LLM built a complex high-risk feature in under 2 hours, putting deployment at 4 days instead of about 4 weeks.
Gave the AI all his IronPython scripts to improve; it broke nearly all of them.
He stopped using Descript and now cuts his YouTube shorts with AI. He says the quality of the shorts has gone up since the switch.
He made a tool for students that started as a simple quiz solver extension and grew slowly to just over $100 in monthly recurring revenue, with very little marketing. A month ago he reverse engineered Anki using AI, so anyone can bring their Anki deck and study it in his tool. He says that is the thing that worked.
