As an engineer, I love seeing tech push the boundaries of what's possible. But AI is just a tool in the toolkit, the emotional pacing, historical respect, and true creative vision in this edit prove that storytelling will always require a human touch.
Insane help of my amigo @PabloDevRel to bring this to life. Watch this. 👇

We stand alone.
Holdy Battery ...
Brécourt Manor ...
Carentan ...
In the first days after the initial drop, the 506th PIR didn't just survive the chaos, they conquered it.
They went toe-to-toe with Von der Heydte’s elite "Lions of Carentan" and absolutely broke them to link the D-Day bridgehead. 🦅🇺🇸

The AI data pipeline got me halfway there, but historical accuracy demands human eyes. Behind this map are hours of manual fine-tuning and fact-checking to make sure the 6th Airborne’s timeline is exactly right.
It’s finally here. After countless hours of historical research, the 6th Airborne Division’s Normandy campaign is officially live on https://t.co/q3tcnVZcjp 🪂

Today I gave the "grill-with-docs" skill a spin on my pridianum repo.
The exercise was intense, the AI aggressively fired questions at me until I almost had a headache. But it was 100% worth it.
It instantly exposed the shaky parts of my decision tree, half-made architectural choices, and blurry concepts that still need refinement.
Now that we share a common domain understanding, I'll retrospect in a few weeks to see if the implementation gets smoother. 🚀
Writing ADR's for agents has been such a good decision
Capturing all the non-obvious decisions in a codebase makes every agent in your stack that touches the stack smarter
It's the thinnest layer of docs that captures the stuff code can't
Almost there. It still needs polish but the @6thairborne division will be soon available.
What a great history research, after having mapped the @101stAASLTDIV a few months ago, I can say this was a totally different theater of opeartion on many aspects.
I don't tell more for now, I will let you discover in a few days.

The reason agents are so good at Linux is that all 40 million lines of kernel code was part of the pre training. Along with every other open source dependency. This really does make every obscure error message shallow, and the system completely malleable.
Some history books feel a bit unstructured when reading them, with info scattered here and there. I tried to bring a bit more clarity with this project.
The 101st Airborne missed almost all their Drop Zones on D-Day. 🪂
Scattered drops confused the German high command so much they couldn't mount a counter-attack.
Check out the Pridianum interactive map to visualize this exact movement. (See below) 👇

It's decided: the next division to be added in the https://t.co/i2gYXmuYKD interactive map is @6thairborne. I got many requests to add it before adding 82nd or @4thInfDiv#WWII#Normandy
A few months ago, I stood on the Normandy WW2 memorials. It was such a moving moment.
But as I wanted to explore further, I realized how hard it was to trace what actually happened 82 years ago. The history was everywhere, but something was missing.
I built Pridianum to fix it.
Exactly 7 years ago I met @qnickmans and we decided to launch @efounders. It was much more intense than expected. Here is the short story. https://t.co/RmhlkQrRGS
