Just updated my music knowledge base powered by @tan_stack and @strapijs to use the official Strapi MCP to expose my data to other services, when want to go beyond using local Ollama models.
repo for anyone interested: github.com/PaulBratslavsky/m…
Love how @strapijs and @tan_stack empower you to build things fast.
I consume a lot of music tutorials from YouTube and wanted to create a knowledge base to help me learn music. AI powered by Gemma 4. Working pretty well on my MacBook.

Not quite at Cody's level, but I can jump on building some games. hot-turtle-night-drive.netli…
Work in progress, still not mobile optimized, and no sound effects.
I've never had THIS much fun building, Opus 5.5 is so fun. Excalidraw directly in the office, and an elevator to take you to your other projects. Don't forget to pet the dog.

Andrej Karpathy's 1- hour Stanford lecture on AI engineering is one of the best explanations I've seen of how AI systems actually work.
The progression is simple:
10% => LLM
30% => Prompt
50% => Agent
70% => Loop
100% => Graph
The Key takeaway:
AI engineering isn't just about writing better prompts.
It's enginnering isn't just about writing better prompts.
It's about building systems around models -- giving them context, memory, tools, feedback loops, and data flows.
''Delete everything, keep Graph."
Definitely worth watching if you 're building with AI agents

This is an extremely good watch.
The things that felt novel/interesting to me:
1. Lock down your agents
Humans tend to like 'sharp knife' abstractions - that are powerful, but you can cut yourself if your use them wrong. Lauren says agents perform much better in extremely locked-down environments. Abstractions are designed so they can't screw up, and lint rules enforce it.
They built a whole internal framework (Dune) to keep the agent on track.
That helps optimise agents that don't have a large context window to work productively in your codebase.
2. Create verification infrastructure
To trust the results of any agent, you either need to sit and watch it OR have it provide evidence of its improvement. This has always made sense to me, but Lauren really pushes it hard here:
- Invest in custom CLI's that let the agent drive the app and measure its performance
- Make the app "factory ready" from the get-go - i.e. deployable to an environment where the agent can mess about with it
3. Feature Maps
Lauren's software factory (what she calls an 'outer loop') often requires the agent to break down vague bug reports from users and to turn those into potential fixes.
To aid that, they built a 'feature map' of all the main features in their application, which describe exactly how the app is supposed to function.
This has become essential for helping the agent navigate the codebase, and figure out quickly how things are supposed to work. It's maintained along with the codebase, and kept in sync via automations.
This is the kind of documentation I usually warn against. It goes stale quickly and can confuse agents if it's not kept up to date.
But Lauren's team are using it as critical navigation infrastructure, and it makes it possible for agents to explore faster and better - even on a large codebase. So it sounds like navigation docs like this are worth it if they enable new behavior.
Banger talk - watch the whole thing on 2x.
here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production
this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly

Strapi is awesome, great job on the project.
🔥I just built a salon website that doesn’t need a developer every time something needs to change.
And that’s the part I’m most excited about.
I built a fully customizable, multi-page salon website using:
⚡ Next.js 16
🎨 Tailwind CSS
🧩 Strapi CMS
The idea was simple:
A business owner should be able to update their website without touching the code.
Want to:
→ Add a new service?
→ Add/remove sections?
→ Publish a new blog/article?
→ Change images and content?
→ Create new pages?
All of it can be managed through Strapi CMS.
So each and every part of the website is fully managed by strapi cms.
The frontend is built with Next.js 16 for a fast, modern experience, while Strapi gives the business complete control over the content.
But this isn’t just a salon website.
The same approach can be used to build high-quality, customizable websites for salons, restaurants, clinics, hotels, agencies, small businesses and more.
Instead of building every website from scratch, the goal is to create a flexible system that can be customized for each business.
💡 Modern frontend + powerful CMS + reusable architecture = a website that can grow with the business.
Try it yourself: salon.yogeshchavan.dev

Started building this framework for my kids to make some games, and for me to test out gpt-sol. The particle tool was a part of this.
Basically a game framework: streaming, triggers, dialogue, quests, etc...
Will open source it at some point.

If you're looking for an amazing medior-level engineer skilled in both open-source and closed-source work @AlminaBrulic is looking for a job.
I mentored and personally trained her for over two years and she worked for me on various projects, both open-source and not.
If your company is looking for an engineer or know someone DM her, or me!

🔌 Strapi Community Plugin Alert: Smart Populate by NOTUM
NOTUM just open-sourced Strapi Smart Populate. Send populate=smart from the frontend, and the plugin resolves the rest server-side.
That means:
🧩 No hand-maintained populate configs
⚡ Built for large dynamic zones
🔗 No URL-length headaches with deep queries
🆓 Free and open source
Libor Říha and the team would love feedback from anyone running large dynamic zones: what's missing, and what would you add?

I forgot what my @strapijs Admin Panel looks like.
Been interacting with my Strapi app via Strapi MCP. Love how you can register custom tools.
