This week it's all about the launch of databaseschool.com - and @aaronfrancis.com tells @ianlandsman.com how he built it with Gemini 3.
Aaron used to be lukewarm on AI, but now? He's getting a lot closer to thinking it's going to change his life.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

I think there’s an opportunity in the fact that because people think LLMs won’t lead to AGI that that means there is an AI tech bubble.
Maybe there is. But maybe AI will be very valuable and useful without becoming AGI (w the bonus of also skirting a lot of very hard and dangerous problems)

Some stuff I'm learning about hiring devs in the AI era.
A) The AIs will usually setup the response to a given input the same, so funny to see near identical code come in.
B) A good diff is to see if the human added any logic beyond req, like how to smartly use an API not just interact w it
