Nat Eliason's Build Your Own Apps course bridged the gap between my front-end skills and full-stack building. CLI, @github.com, @cursor.com.web.brid.gy — I now ship projects I couldn't have imagined. And it was just updated. Worth every hour invested: www.buildyourownapps.com

The @mit.edu study on AI reducing brain activity makes sense — struggling is part of learning. But here’s what it misses: When you’ve already done the hard thinking, AI can make your processes more usable. I used @v0.dev to turn my SOW SOP into a dynamic tool: v0-sow-builder-template.vercel.app

I'm playing with Tavus.io and did a quick test to create my digital replica. This involved recording myself speaking for a minute, then being quiet for a minute. I think I need to give it another try, but I thought y'all would appreciate my first attempt 😂 tavus.video/aa6f5c5c7b
