Three AWS projects, Aug to Oct: one chatbot, then one agent, then five agents. Each was harder than the one before and gave me fewer problems, because every mistake became a check in the next build.
I finished the nanodegree. Here's how.

#AWS #AIAgents
I've loved Día de los Muertos for 30 years. I had two days to build something for it. El Altar que Habla is a bilingual ofrenda where you explore seven offerings and ask questions, answered by Gemma 4 grounded on primary sources. #DEVCommunity dev.to/earlgreyhot1701d/el-a…
🤖 Made with AI
Featured in the Top 7 on DEV last week! The list had a deep dive on whether a model can feel pain, a study of 9,050 AI-written scripts, and natural language design trade-offs.
Mine was a tip calculator. 🤣
Grateful! #DEVCommunity #hacktoberfest dev.to/devteam/top-7-feature…
Why I keep coming back to #DevFest Modesto:
Mayor Zwahlen told a room of builders "we need you."
Saphonia Foster asked: is AI saving our time, raising our voice, lifting our community?

🤖 Made with AI
My wife's whole bakery business lived in one yellow notebook. Then she lost it.
So I built her Cuenta: shelf counts, branded invoices, and who owes what, on her phone.
Devpost's skill pack interviewed me into the plan first. It still missed one thing.

Three court stages: Albuquerque, Los Angeles, Riverside.
My jokes landed. Walking off, I felt relief, not accomplishment.
I still don't like public speaking. I'd still say yes to the next invite.

Asked Cursor for a USD/MXN tip calculator. Live on GitHub Pages 8 minutes later. One prompt, one commit, zero corrections.
The build was fast because the spec was done. Full prompt in the post for you to test.

"On Saying No: Will the Well Dry Up?" by @clewlabs
I got into Stanford’s Code in Place, the course I’d wanted for a long time. I stepped away the day before my first section.
Is the well drying up, or am I just tired? Maybe both.

README Clew 2 checks whether a GitHub README matches its code.
Jev labels, 5 deterministic checks decide, Haiku explains. Its own README: 0 contradictions.
Built with @adalagent + @Glasserai for #WhatWouldJevDo

Build story: dev.to/earlgreyhot1701d/read…
Took my vibecoded travel app to New Orleans with 68 places saved in it.
Still couldn't decide where to eat.
The best recommendation engine we used in New Orleans was New Orleans. 🎷

"Two Sisters Tinctures: Building an Apothecary Skincare Tracker with Gemma 4 for My Sister" by @clewlabs #DEVCommunity dev.to/earlgreyhot1701d/two-…
Fangirl here: I built a zine for every WNBA game. Code counts every stat from the play-by-play. The AI only writes the voice, and when it gets a fact wrong, code writes a plain recap instead. Live on AWS: fullcourtpress.lol dev.to/earlgreyhot1701d/can-… #WNBA #BuildInPublic
At #BuildwithGemini Sunnyvale, Antigravity built, deployed, and recorded its own demo of my hackathon tracker agent in three hours.
Antigravity can cook. With caveats, of course.
Thanks @srithreepo and @cszhu for running the App Builders lab!

Observator Clew, submitted for the #AgentsEverywhere Hackathon today! An agent that watches my GitHub repos and flags the quiet ones that still have something deployed behind them.
Thanks @aitinkerers for hosting and @OpenAI for agent power!
