My story broken into stages (Last stage is AI 💪)... ① - Self taught (on the job) Full stack Javascript developer. Joined a high-tech ecom startup as 9th employee. I no life'd it as the CTO's right hand man to help grow it to around 40+ employees in 2 years. Helped lead engineering, hiring and proj. management efforts at 20yo. ② - Left dev job and then started 2 companies, one was a Shopify development firm with some partners and the other a music tech startup. At the firm I lead the development division and my team helped publicly traded companies and many small businesses with custom Shopify apps and themes. I did this for just 2 years until I left the firm because of founder differences. 👉 ③ THIS VIDEO - During 2020, I lead a dev teams for various unicorn tech startups and am super thankful I got to learn so much at the time. Again, put head down and worked hard to earn various public recommendations from execs at these tech unicorns (in product, engineering, etc.) ④ - I decided to settle down on the client work and take a director role building/leading a new growth department at different startup altogether. Again a high-tech ecom startup that had bootstrapped to low-8 figures annual rev. Company was doing $70m+ per year from a combination of various company wide efforts and the new growth department I had built in under 2years. ⑤ - NOW (2024): Running an AI dev shop and WORKING my way to the top. NEVER, letting my success get me too comfortable 🤖 When I started I had no degree, no CS background and was told I was a failure, repeatedly. I got that head of marketing/ecom role (growth) when people told me I wasn't a marketer. This story was not to brag. It was to inspire and motivate through showing whats possible! P.S. f**k the lies we are told holding us back about titles and requirements needed! 🚀

Hey coding fam, I hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to see if anyone has used Cursor. There is a lot of buzz about it, some even saying it is the VS Code killer (seems doubtful). But wanted to see if anyone has thoughts on it. With all of the cool things you can do with artifacts and coding, I thought this might be a good additional tool. You can prompt Claude 3.5 Sonnet within Cursor. I thought that was pretty cool. Here is a good video overview. Cheers!

Jeremy Howard released FastHTML for python devs. It helps develop interactive websites with the power of Python instead of having to learn a stack in another language (ala React, Nextjs, etc). I have not tried it yet but will be playing with it this weekend. If you try it out, lmk how simple it was for you. p.s. Jeremy taught the fantastic and free Fast AI deep learning classes that were my first intro into ML. https://x.com/jeremyphoward/status/1818036923304456492

I am Alex from Mexico City. I am developing a customer service virtual booth for a local government using CrewAI. This will help people know all the requirements beforehand very fast and specifically for their government processes. First phase is a user interface. Second phase is to plug to a AI vocal generator so that it can attend you through a call. Let me know guys if you have heard/worked in anything similar or if you have any advice. Cheers,
