I've noticed a lot of people use AI to learn new skills, but I'm curious about something else. Can AI actually help you get all the way through your first real project, or does there come a point where you still need a human mentor? If you've built something with the help of AI, I'd love to hear your experience. What was your first project, and how much did AI actually help?

I am putting together a research-backed list of things where generative AI either has minimal benefits or is actually harmful. Ideally, this would be something convincing enough that, if shown to someone who is highly enthusiastic about AI, it could, if not change their mind, at least convince them that AI usage isn’t something that is positive and should be promoted by default. Anyway, what I have so far is that AI has been shown to have minimal benefits or even to be harmful for: 1) Ac...

I wanted the simplest possible AI meeting recorder that sees and hears your meetings, workflows etc. No cloud. No account. No subscription. Lumi a small CLI that uses the features already built into macOS. Everything stays on your Mac. Your recordings never leave your machine unless you choose to. It’s fully open source, so you can inspect exactly what it’s doing instead of trusting a black box. Simply run “lumi record start” once. If you’re looking for a low key, private alternative to cloud me...

Spent a week sure my setup was slow because I was on the wrong model. Swapped between a couple of the big ones, rewrote my prompts, same result. Then I actually counted what closing one deal took: 28 tabs across four windows. Gmail thread here, the HubSpot record there, the contract sitting in Drive, a couple calendar invites, a Slack DM I needed for context. The model was fine. I was the integration layer, copy pasting between all of it. What moved the needle wasn't a smarter model, it was le...

I have used both Nano banana 2 and OpenAI image generation (Not dall e ) Prompt : "An ancient celestial temple floating above an endless ocean of clouds during a breathtaking sunset, surrounded by colossal dragons, glowing phoenixes, and giant waterfalls cascading into the sky. A lone traveler wearing a flowing black cloak stands at the edge of a marble bridge holding a radiant crystal sword, while thousands of floating lanterns drift through the air. Massive planets, colorful nebulae, an...

I want to try fable. I literally just want it to scan my repo and make a plan to improve it. So it would be one prompt, but it would be doing a lot of work. My question is, will it be able to do that in one shot or will I have to keep waiting the 5 hour period a few times?

🔗 Repo: https://github.com/CodeGraphContext/grapharc Have you ever been frustrated because your AI agent: ❌ Takes actions you never intended? ❌ Creates, modifies, or even pushes changes you never asked for? ❌ Feels like a complete black box, making it impossible to understand what's happening until it's too late? What if, before execution, you could visualize the entire orchestration graph - every agent, every dependency, every decision, and inspect it from anywhere, even your phone,...

The last 1,5 week has been quite an eyeopener for me - I must say that Claude Code and the current frontier models are amazing. A test of Fable (and later Opus 5) turned into a larger game. It’s very much inspired by the tank element of Battlefield 1942 and the round-by-round build system from Overwatch 2’s Stadium mode. About the game: You join a game and enhance your tank, then you go out and destroy the enemy while hunting for salvage which is used to enhance your tank even further (balan...
