@badlogicgames You had me at Space Karen. Hahaha.

One of the best things students and colleges can do is not bail on learning and teaching the fundamentals of any given domain. AI will trick you into thinking you don’t need to go deep in a particular area, but that’s wrong.

The expert with AI is always going to be far more capable than the novice. Those that can steer AI agents properly, figure out how to evaluate their work, fix their mistakes, and incorporate their work into a workflow will always be the most potent users of these tools.

The experienced software developer that’s built and scaled complex systems using agents outrun someone just vibe coding. The designer that uses AI will build far better products and campaigns than anyone else. The banker or analyst that understands financial models will be able to pull off far more with agents.

Despite some of the rhetoric in the valley that this is less implement now, that couldn’t be further from the case. Don’t give up on going deep in your craft.

@trq212 Agree.

Vibed a site around my notes/pics on my trip to the Code w/ Claude conference with these features:

- pics of my visit (day 2)
- Day 2 page has my notes on each talk I attended
- major updates at the top of the site
- site will update once a day and check for new videos of talks as they're posted (github actions)
- Click on any card of a talk to watch the video right on the site
- Claude FM music if you want to vibe while browsing (click on pill in lower right-hand corner)

I had a simple idea awhile ago *checks watch*...apparently five years ago(!) -- What if I could loop a song from the CLI to stay in the groove when coding? I called it looper.

Fast forward to last week - Claude FM is this neat livestream that Anthropic put out during Claude w/ Code conference.

So what'd I do? I added playing livestreams to looper after I got back!

Here's how you can stream Claude FM from looper:

brew tap program247365/tap
brew install looper
looper play --url "https://t.co/U1Se8DtRSK"

Built on Rust with @ratatui_rs, this baby idle's at 4% cpu. ;)

Been really fun so far!

Met some great people doing interesting things with @claudeai

[Daniel Pinto @Mouxy]

Suddenly everyone is wasting tokens creating markdown editors to deal with AI agents whilst @BearNotesApp with the new CLI and MCP does it in a beautiful and brilliant way

[Kevin B. Ridgway @program247365]

Flying into SFO tomorrow for @AnthropicAI’s @claudeai conference on May 7th.

Excited to meet more folks who like to build things!

[Kevin B. Ridgway @program247365]

@trq212 Looking forward to it!
