I made 17 AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google roast each other anonymously — something only #GitHub #Copilot CLI can do, since Claude Code and Gemini CLI are locked to their own vendor's models. stefanstranger.github.io/2026/03/07/W...

Anthropic quietly built out a free full CS curriculum for the AI era. Claude Code, MCP Mastery, API design. The depth here is startling compared to the random YouTube tutorials I often binge. This is how you grow an ecosystem: you teach people to build. anthropic.skilljar.com/

Running n8n on Azure to power a AI chat agent - Clemens Schotte
I wanted a tiny, inexpensive backend to experiment with a AI chat agent on my blog. No Kubernetes, no managed databases, no monthly surprises. In this post I’ll show exactly how I stood up n8n on Azure Container Apps using SQLite and an Azure Files mount so everything persists, and scales to zero when idle. This is the infrastructure piece. In my next post I’ll walk through how I built the AI chat agent itself and wired the blog UI to n8n.
