gm, I’m at my first big conference since I've been "AI-pilled" and I've found myself using AI in new ways, like generating real-time summaries with my app MuseKat, scanning resumes through custom GPTs, sending follow-ups with AI, and more. In today's post, more on how using AI is changing the way I learn: https://hardmodefirst.xyz/building-a-learning-lens-my-experience-at-asu-gsv-and-the-future-of-learning

me, treating an ed tech conference like a crypto conference: ::updates profile handle with location status on Twitter:: - "ummm... so there's no buidler week?" - "wait, where are all the side events?" - "can i pay with wallet connect?" - "no cold plunge, ru serious?" - "business card, what's that? can i get your tg?"

I went to journalism school in an era when a single typo would literally make me fail the entire assignment. Now, I probably have at least one typo in every blog post that I write. And I'm totally ok with that. In today's post, why typos are a flex in the age of AI: https://hardmodefirst.xyz/why-typos-are-a-flex-in-the-age-of-ai

Hey @jc4p how tricky do you think it’d be to vibe code an app that pulls all the disparate social media handles from all of my friends across all platforms so I don’t have to spend an hour looking them all up to cross-post a single blog post…. 😬😬😬😬

Yesterday’s CS Fair in NYC was an incredible opportunity to show, not tell, the power of no-code building with AI! Thanks to @brenner.eth, @web3pm, @j4ck.eth, @0xlacroix, @saadiq, @thelibrarian, @mattcynamon, @fredwilson.eth and many more for all of your contributions! As @0xlacroix put it, “Gen Alpha is ready to vibe code.” 👏 https://hardmodefirst.xyz/the-cs-fair-2025-a-bias-to-building

Epic thanks to @j4ck.eth, @web3pm and @brenner.eth for spending the day with 2k NYC high schoolers yesterday!! It was incredibly powerful to see kids’ mindset shift in real time from “I am learning about how to code…” to “wait, what can I actually BUILD right now?”

AI is moving so fast that keeping up feels less like innovation and more like survival—how long until we’re all just racing to stay relevant? Inspired by @saadiq's post today, here's my take on the so-called "AI reckoning" that's upon us. https://hardmodefirst.xyz/moving-at-the-speed-of-ai-the-reckoning
