Large language models (LLMs) are the next big unlock in individuals productivity. They unlock the ability to get to creation no matter what the medium. 🔓 One of the aspects I find incredibly intriguing is how they are being deployed. They have started showing up in our core operating systems, search engines, office suites, and even within our favorite web applications. 💻 Another rabbit hole I have gone down is distinguishing the difference between LLM artificial intelligence (AI) assistances and AI agents. The difference between the two is that AI assistances only have the ability to provide you with output within a communication window while AI agents also have the ability to directly access functions, features, and capabilities of the software application it is directly integrated with. 🤖 Through the use of these LLMs humans will be ridiculously productive. It will be amazing to see what people create! 😊

Got started on a second project today and this time I am working on a dog bandanas site! A mutual friend of the owner and I introduced us and her story was amazing! 🐕​ Started it again with Replit and it took the application from 0 to 100 again. It was interesting that it modified the image I provided it when it came to rendering it inside of the website. 🤔​ Working on taking a different approach to this opportunity and work on this as if for a presentation. If I know anything about understanding your customer it is to listen. By listening to understand you can really get to the heart of the conversation and make sure you are fitting their needs. 🗣️​ I was also able to utilize more readily available information on the internet. It is truly amazing the world we live in. 🌐

Got to through myself at a web course today which was a nice change a pace. I was able to go through the web self paced MIT Lincoln Laboratory Super Computer course. 📚 Since a lot of my time over the years has primarily been in building software prototypes and development operations I had a solid amount of preliminary information required to understand how to leverage the systems. What I did not have was an understanding of the how which was explained in a clear and concise manner. 🧑‍💻 I learned of a concept called decoupling of processes in order to leverage the power of the super computer. Decoupling is when you allow different component to function independently while still exchanging data when necessary. This increased the processing time dramatically. 🚀 Learning something new is always a humbling experience for me but it is always so rewarding I get a new skill out of it. By adding to my toolbelt I know I am always getting 1% better each and every day! 🧠

Started working on a side project for a friend today and was once again stunned at how well the Replit application worked. 👀​ By defining a thoughtful prompt I was able to ask the artificial intelligence (AI) agent to build me a website for an initial car wash business. 🧼​ Since it has full control over the integrated development environment (IDE) it constructed a React web application and an Express application programing interface (API). By leveraging the photo upload feature, I even provided a photo to the agent to use within the website and to retrieve the theme colors for the site itself. 🖼️ I still do have some qualms about it such as how if I only asked for only a web application it still provided me with an API however it does build you a solid foundation to take the application in any direction you choose. 🔁​

When it comes to testing there are a bunch of different ways to go about it. There are unit tests, integration tests, system tests, end-to-end tests and so much more. 🧪 What I have realized over the last 10 years of software development is that you really need to set your intention behind what you are testing for. Are you looking for incongruent user interface states, is the calculation correct based on the inputs that you provided, is the information being updated at the appropriate intervals, and can the system handle the level of usage and scale appropriately? 💡 The ability to test appropriately is a skill all engineers should learn. Many of these tests can be automated and should be done so in order to save time and capture edge cases. 🎯 Without testing we never know if our software is working as intended. By capturing those output of these tests we can analyze them and understand if we are on the right path. ✅

When sharing your knowledge with others being able to present is crucial. With so many different learning styles tailored to each individual the ability to provide a birds eye view is quite the conundrum. 🐦 There in lies the skills of a PowerPoint Engineer! One who understands all of the PowerPoint core features, can create visual diagrams more accurately than AI, and can whip up a set of slides in less than half an hour. 📊 Now the mark of a true PPE is in your delivery. Are you able to effectively and clearly explain your thoughts to someone else? Do they understand them? Can they rearticulate them back to you in their own words? 🤔 PowerPoint Engineers are crucial to every organization. This skill is one that must be honed over time, but as we all know with great power comes great responsibility. 🦸

For the longest time I have always appreciate my ability to be organized. The habit is one where I only cared about it in some niche places but has slowly moved into other avenues of my life because of how simple it makes things. 📁 Having a well-managed space keeps my home looking nice. Maintaining an orderly office provides me a sense of peace to do my best work. Finally, keeping myself digital organized has been another level! With so much to remember on a daily basis if I did not have the systems in place I would not be able to locate information as efficient as I do today. Taking the time to create systematic frameworks in order for you to categorize your thoughts, prioritize your tasks, and understand the steps to execution really skyrocket your productivity. 🚀 For one to take the time to consciously do this in their life, it really shows a sense of deep caring that really shows up in a form of discipline. 🎯
