people confuse virality with truth, something going viral doesn't mean it's real, it means it triggered an emotion

Mission: empower people to build with AI tools. Proven results from students worldwide @100schoolHQ Prompt Driven Developer | Resident AI Builder ⬆️
The tutorial hell era of AI education is officially over While everyone was racing to build 'ChatGPT for X' courses at 100 School we were studying why 90% of professionals still feel stuck with AI Our 30-Day Challenge starts in September THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING 💯
When you're an introvert in the office And just want to do your work
when your ADHD makes you spend 8 days avoiding a task that takes 15 minutes
when I'm driving if I see a police car in my rearview suddenly I forget how to drive and I’m rehearsing alibis for crimes I didn’t commit. Anyone else?
Me: I own a cat. She knows one word. My cat: meow Also my cat: M E O W W W Me: yes of course madam, right away, sorry for the delay
Most people choose their AI building tools based on hype. Here’s how to choose based on what really matters: I've built an app to help 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 choose the right AI tool… by using an AI building tool! It's a work in progress so please share your feedback.
Normalize replying "I don't care" to people who try to make you feel bad about things
Adding instructions to your @v0.dev projects makes a huge difference to the outcome of your app. It keeps everything consistent in terms of design & behaviors You can tell it what tech stack to use, how you want it to handle errors, rules for screenshots and how to implement the building process.
When I hear people saying they want to return to the office to work
Anyone who can plug in a USB on the first try is a sorcerer
a heads up before you dm me just know I was blessed with the addiction gene
My best advice: marry someone you can break the generational trauma curse with.
What's the best insult you've ever heard someone give someone else?
There are two kinds of AI users: 1. Those who jump between every shiny new tool 2. Those who focus on what elevates their work Be in the second group
Your future depends on whether you see AI as a challenge or an opportunity
Words I never thought I’d hear my 69-year-old technophobe mum say: "I don’t know how I lived without ChatGPT" After losing my dad just over a year ago she’s been adjusting to life on her own. I installed the ChatGPT app on her iPhone and it’s made a huge impact on her independence.
This is an interesting read. My take: AI tools are great for beginners learning to code. But 'write better code' only works if you're an experienced developer who can spot when diminishing returns and messy over-engineering happen as the subjective idea of 'better' goes off the rails.
Max Woolf@minimaxir.bsky.social · 2y agoNew year, new blog post: I had a random question, what happens when LLMs are prompted to write better code, again and again? Do they actually write better code? The answer is yes*! minimaxir.com/2025/01/writ...
Students and people in my DMs keep telling me their biggest pain point is is finding beginner-friendly resources to build with AI tools It's the first day of 2025 so lets start with a toolkit and tech stack that I use Mini-thread 🧵
Me: It doesn't have a tail, so I'm pretty sure it's a hamster. Tech support: *sigh* Fine. Right click on your hamster...
"Say, what's in this drink? .... But, baby, it's cold outside" Nothing says Merry Christmas like a casual reference to roofies.
Removing yourself from people who trigger your mental health and hurt you is top tier self-care
