Today we had to say goodbye to Bobby.

She had a tumour, and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully.

I spend a lot of my life talking about AI and the incredible things technology can do, but days like today are a reminder that some things can never be replaced.

The bond between a person and their dog is one of them.

Rest easy, Bobby. You were loved.

Quick question 👇
When you use Claude Code, what’s your current workflow?

I just posted a new video showing the Claude Code workflow I’d actually use to build and ship real apps, not toy demos. Worth watching if you’re trying to move from “vibe prompting” to a proper AI engineering workflow.

What does your dev portfolio look like right now?

Most look identical. Mine doesn't - built in 8 minutes with Claude Code: https://youtu.be/DwvZ9f0RYzA

Honestly, I use the mobile app way more than I expected to. I'll still kick off new projects on my desktop, but most of my day to day work, fixing bugs, pushing PRs, sometimes even adding new features, happens on my phone with Codex or Claude Code.
Curious if I'm the odd one out here. How are you actually getting your AI coding done right now?

Claude Code just added Agent View, and it makes running multiple agents feel way more practical.

Instead of juggling terminal tabs, you can now manage background agents, see what needs input, and even combine it with Git worktrees for parallel experiments.

I tested it by having multiple agents build different versions of the same React app 👀

Have you tried Agent View yet, or are you still running Claude Code one session at a time?

I used Codex CLI to build a full AI Image Studio from scratch.



Upload reference images, add a prompt, and generate thumbnails, banners, product shots, or branded visuals.



This one is less about the app itself and more about the workflow: how to use a coding agent to build real AI tools.



Would you build something like this with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenCode?

Can local models like Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 build full apps for free?

I tested exactly that with LocalForge, a free open-source coding agent that runs through Ollama or LM Studio.

Claude Code is great… but it’s not the only AI coding tool worth paying attention to.

In my latest video, I walk through OpenCode from scratch - installation, provider setup, FREE models, project workflows, MCP servers, agent skills, subagents, and more.

Hey everyone! I'm trying out a new format on my channel. I'm planning to release a video every Monday where I build a solution using a RANDOM agentic coding tool - could be anything, Cursor, opencode, Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity... you name it.
The idea is to demonstrate how you can apply the same principles across these different tools to get great results.
Let me know what you think!

Even the most intelligent models hallucinate. This is not something you want to risk when asking medical or any other questions that require factual accuracy. This MCP server provides your model with over 200 million peer-reviewed research papers.
