4 years ago today an idea was published for Stacks: break the chain into composable layers anyone could build on.

so i built it. it's live in public beta, free and open → https://t.co/dFGIPpYvxx

(the idea was project kourier, by @aulneau. 4 years on, full credit to him.)

I'll admit, I'm still an AI beginner.

I'll use ChatGPT and Github Copilot sparingly here and there. But I have yet to get hands on with the other evolving trends such as agents, object generation, streaming, orchestration, and etc. Nor have I formulated my own thesis on the implications of AI.

If you are too then stay tuned, because starting next month @ryan_waits and I will be hosting livestreams where he'll be running through different applications of AI in @Stacks development. As the beginner, I'll be your wingman in asking the curious questions and trying to make sense of all of it.

These livestreams will be hosted on the @hirosystems account and on the Hiro YT channel where you'll be able to watch any that you've missed.
