NITW'26

[Rahul @sairahul1]

Google just dropped a 1-hour course on agentic engineering from scratch:

00:00 – How to build your first AI agent
08:24 – Build agent memory (short, persistent, long)
28:34 – Agentic loops, long-running AI agents
40:04 – How to build MCP (MCP vs API)
1:00:22 – Multi-agentic systems

This 1-hour watch will replace 10 paid agentic courses on the internet.

Bookmark this. Watch this weekend.

Andrej Karpathy spent 70 minutes explaining how top AI users actually work with LLMs.

And most people are overcomplicating it.

Bookmark it for later.

The creator of Claude Code teaches more about vibe-coding in 30 minutes than most tutorials do in hours.

Save this — it'll change how you build forever.

A masterclass on ‘how to speak’ by MIT professor Patrick Winston - 15 key lessons

[Akshay Shinde @ConsciousRide]

Recently a friend of mine moved to Australia, he got a job in Atlassian, was discussing with him why Australia? why not US (he had an offer there too).

Australia SWE salaries are solid, but the trade can still make sense.

1. Typical range: 120k to 180k AUD. Sydney and Melbourne pay higher.
2. Why move: good work life balance, nice weather, outdoor lifestyle. If you want stable pay with relaxed days, Australia does that well.
3. What to watch: high cost of living in big cities, long visa waits, and distance from family.

How to find roles:

1. Target companies first: Atlassian, Canva, Wise, REA Group, and other firms open to sponsorship.
2. Use channels: https://t.co/FcN7q9jq5v with visa filters, LinkedIn, Australian tech groups, and recruiters who handle 482 visas.
3. Interview prep: coding problems, system design, and past work examples with clear results.

So if you are optimizing for life balance and english speaking country, Australia is a legit option.

Anthropic pays engineers $750,000+ a year to understand how LLMs work.

Stanford just put a 2 hour lecture that covers 80% of it for FREE.

Bookmark this. Give it 2 hours today.

It might be the highest ROI thing you do this month:

[Google AI @GoogleAI]

We’re launching a brand new, full-stack vibe coding experience in @GoogleAIStudio, made possible by integrations with the @Antigravity coding agent and @Firebase backends.

This unlocks:

— Full-stack multiplayer experiences: Create complex, multiplayer apps with fully-featured UIs and backends directly within AI Studio

— Connection to real-world services: Build applications that connect to live data sources, databases, or payment processors and the Antigravity agent will securely store your API credentials for you

— A smarter agent that works even when you don't: By maintaining a deeper understanding of your project structure and chat history, the agent can execute multi-step code edits from simpler prompts. It also remembers where you left off and completes your tasks while you’re away, so you can seamlessly resume your builds from anywhere

— Configuration of database connections and authentication flows: Add Firebase integration to provision Cloud Firestore for databases and Firebase authentication for secure sign-in

This demo displays what can be built in the new vibe coding experience in AI Studio. Geoseeker is a full-stack application that manages real-time multiplayer states, compass-based logic, and an external API integration with @GoogleMaps 🕹️

DURING A JOB INTERVIEW, IF THEY ASK:

“WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU OVER OTHER CANDIDATES?”

I would say:

“I don’t assume I’m the smartest person in the room. But I know I’m one of the most reliable. Skills can be trained.
Experience can be gained. What’s harder to teach is ownership. If something has my name on it, it gets done properly.

You’re not just hiring talent , you’re hiring accountability. That’s what I bring.”
