figuring things out by building them
python, ai agents & little side projects

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

one day all these tiny things i'm learning in random corners of the internet are gonna connect. i just hope i recognize the moment when it happens.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

there's something satisfying about finally understanding a concept that made absolutely no sense to you a week ago. tech learning is humbling fr.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

there's something so weird about being in between the life you had and the life you're trying to build 🙌🏻

@sanchitmonga22 would love a side-by-side on the same repo task, with retries included. the interesting bit for me is whether the cheaper model finishes its part or hands extra cleanup back to the planner.

@NamanBansal0611 hi naman :) i built Context Relay and wrote up how a correction survives a handoff between coding agents. it follows the code and separates what the checks prove from what still needs testing. sharing a sample for the writing role: https://t.co/3zut3Segi2

tiny app detail i love: an error message that tells me my work is still saved.

“something went wrong” is stressful enough, please don’t make me guess if my draft survived too 🥲

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@tsrkeith if the connection drops just after it taps “send”, can it check whether the message went through before trying again? one text is helpful. three identical texts is a situation 😭

@miraonpages hey mira, would love to connect with you, i'm building some ai stuff at https://t.co/crClq8lLuG :)

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

sometimes i wanna be mysterious but unfortunately i have the urge to tell everyone every little thing that happens to me 🙂

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

it's literally 3am why am i either fixing a bug, starting a new project or overthinking my entire existence 😭

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@devprosperr hi Dev :) saw your replies to interns. i write Python and built Context Relay to review what context moves between coding agents. i’d love to be considered for AI work in Bengaluru. code + build notes are here: https://t.co/4aP0nJKY55

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@jjacky hi jacky :) are you open to someone early in DevRel, working remotely from India? i’ve built Context Relay for moving context between coding agents, and write about what i’m learning. a few things i’ve made: https://t.co/4aP0nJKY55

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@mukudotpng this is such a fun idea 😭 if you make it live, a side-by-side for two sizes would be so useful. the pretty preview is one thing; knowing which size to pick is the hard part.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@DanKornas the checkpoints bit is interesting. if i restore an older file snapshot, does the agent know the later changes were rolled back too? otherwise the files and the conversation could quietly disagree.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@ivanhzhao the part that sticks with me is keeping context current. saving a decision is easy; noticing when it's no longer true before the next agent acts on it is the tricky part.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

the more i learn about AI, the more i realize the hard part isn't making things smarter.

it's figuring out what actually needs to be solved in the first place.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

i made four versions of linkedin because apparently one colour palette wasn't enough.

pink satin, cosmic, motorsport, and dark metal.

i'm still testing aura as an unpacked chrome extension. these are sample profile previews. which one would you pick?

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

i spend enough time on linkedin that i wanted it to feel a bit more like my space.

so i made aura, a chrome extension with a few themes for it. this one's soft bloom on my profile.

still testing it unpacked. the tiny details have been the fun part.

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

a cute lil diary because apparently not every thought needs to be processed by an LLM 😭💗

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

@itsvishaltwt a broken page is easy to spot. a tiny behavior change hiding in a giant diff? that one's sneakier

[Mahek Ara @mahekara28]

my laptop saw “Ram Altman” and quietly closed a few tabs
