This is the best learning environment you'll find anywhere.
I created it using a combination of Google's Project IDX and a custom Visual Studio Code extension I built.
Project IDX was one of the best discoveries I made late in 2024. It's an AI-based cloud IDE built by Google. I used it during my last cohort, and it immediately saved me 20-30 hours of troubleshooting other people's environments.
The extension I built is the cherry on top here.
I'm 100% sure every single student will be spoiled forever after they take my class.
I'm beyond excited about this. Classes start in a week.
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

AI is going to permanently change how marketing works.
If you're not paying attention, you're going to be out of a job pretty soon.
I played around with ChatGPT (a new AI tool) recently.
Here's how AI will change marketing forever:

Here at @MoneySupermkt we recently went live with a new system that uses Google Bigtable & Google Cloud Functions on @googlecloud and I thought some folks out in the twitterverse might be interested in hearing about it.
Hey everyone, super excited to share that I have created a #googlecloud community
@HiCommunities helps create spaces for people to discuss and talk about topics that matter to them the most
