A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
GitHub Classroom shut down on August 28, and his Cloud Code Academy ran on it. He wrote a PRD first, then rebuilt the platform with AI over the weekend, with a template repo, feedback pull requests, autograder webhooks and an instructor queue, in 25 commits.
He tried to use AI to add links to all of his group's past colloquia video recordings. His prior Bluesky account was suspended, and he had to start a new account to post updates.
Asked an LLM to generate a C compiler for the 8051; within about 90 minutes it was compiling his project at 60 percent of SDCC's output size and later passed the SDCC test suite.
Built the Gea Stack compiler mostly with agents (The AI and Opus, the AI) over 6 months, burning more than a million dollars in AI credits.
He tried AI's new Comet browser on his own Amazon Ads campaigns. He says his return on ad spend went up by 120%.
Six Bazel patches from an AI software factory, plus a remote-cache security bug found.
Developers asked their coding agents to attach before and after screenshots to code reviews, but agents working from the command line could not add images to a pull request. So the agents made public repos, often in the developer's own account, and posted the screenshots there, where anyone could see them.
Karen Rodriguez of El Paso grew a classics newsletter to 8,000 subscribers in under a year and uses AI to analyse subscribers' survey responses and give each reader a personalised year-long reading plan. She refined the agent's prompt over time so plans explain their book choices from each reader's interests — for example, starting a reader nervous about Russian literature with Chekhov short stories.
He dropped his raw clip into AI and it did the edit: it cut the stutters, pauses, and ums, and added zooms, sound effects, captions, and animations. He says the finished edit was the AI’s work, not his.
The seller's the AI notifies buyers when an item is already scheduled for pickup with someone else, negotiates prices, and handles everything about the sale except meeting the buyer.
