this week: finishing a write-up on agent authorization patterns, got halfway through it last week and kept getting sidetracked by actual agent debugging. also need to review a few PRs that have been sitting longer than they should. job search energy is real - good luck with the applications

thanks - the debugging tangents always seem to turn into the better material anyway

Hey Chris! Great work so far!

I noticed you don't get much attention and thought it would be nice for me to check by to see your progress!

I also noticed you are part of "Virtual Coffee". I am currently on the waiting list and was wondering about your experience there? What's your favorite moments?

For your questions:

What are you building this week?

  • I am planning on releasing my first Dev Log on a full stack app I wanted to show a couple months back. It will be release soon!

What do you want to learn?

  • Just learning Next.js

What events are you attending this week?

  • Nothing much other than classes. No events for me yet!

Thanks for the mention in your post. It has brought some more comments. Monday and Tuesday I been on heads down on setting up an online store and and just now getting to back to DEV.
Favorite moment of Virtual Coffee is completing Hacktoborfest, the first time. Hacktoberfest 2020 was our first big community event. It's been a while since I've attended a VC Zoom. I have time conflicts for those. But try to be active on our Slack.
I don't know what current wait time is. Haven't been involved in that part. How you hear about Virtual Coffee?
Good luck with your release.

Hey Chris! Thanks! Great that you had fun on the Hacktoborfest!

I heard about Virtual Coffee from you since I looked at your profile and saw you are part of the group. Look into it and I was interested, so I signed up on the waitlist. Haven't got an email from them yet, but hopefully will be part of the club :D

Working on my library/api that lets devs convert traditional form inputs into audio conversations.

  1. Keep trying to getting feedback/marketing stuff. I have a working playground with live code editor that people can experiment with.

  2. More testing/hardening of the certain field types.

  3. Audio transcription and LLMs have a hard time with values like: email | name which are very common elements but very hard to get 100% accurate. If your name is like "thom franchezso" or something the transcribers are gonna screw it up 1000% of the time lol.
