A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
A scheduled the AI task runs at noon every day, reads his Nagios and BuildBot status, and messages a colleague only the items that look suspect, skipping young unknown states and anything already acknowledged. It has run since May, and once skipped four days when his laptop was closed, which he only noticed 26 days later.
Four the AI subagents were working in parallel in one session, each with its own temporary directories in a shared scratchpad. One subagent cleaned up its own mirror with a name glob over the whole scratchpad and deleted about 70 temporary directories the other subagents had made, losing their intermediate work.
He ran AI on the task with 6 agents at a time, about 75 agents in total over about 6 days. They produced transcriptions of tens of millions of handwritten images and indexed them all.
A week into letting AI agent edit his videos, the workflow has stuck. Agent edited video is now part of how he publishes.
Vibe-coded SimilaritiesEngine in two months with AI, a free service he says would have taken three years and would never have been done otherwise.
A GPT agent crunched through a famously hard Disobey conference hacker ticket challenge in an evening and a morning with occasional steering, a challenge unsolved in some years.
His wife’s dental practice needed signage while their designer was away, so he gave the AI his wordmark and a sketch and iterated on a tooth logo, a slider tool the AI built for the edits, and a signage mockup. Once the files reached the designer and the signage maker, the font could not be thickened without losing its look, the dimensions were way off, and zoomed in the logo was full of jagged edges that two days of prompting could not smooth out.
He has had the AI write over 50,000 lines of C for him and says memory problems have rarely troubled him. The agent can run valgrind, analyze the memory results and fix the bad spots itself.
Josh Pigford started FirstIndex, a service that gets companies found on Google and in an AI app answers, at $1,000 a month. Within a month it was at about $570,000 a year in recurring revenue with about 30 clients, and the AI does most of the delivery work.
He runs OpenFree, a site that collects open source projects. The AI scans X every day for new projects, filters them, and submits them to his site backend, where a Cloudflare workflow parses each one and sends it to him to approve before it goes live.
