• In Sentry, when it says “merge n issues” into one, that means we have n + 1 issues before merging.

• Slack canvas doesn’t support wrap code in the code block, which is annoying, also it doesn’t support many languages, just a simple code block with no syntax highlight, so no mermaid.

• There is a tool to create custom AI agent by our need called relay and beam. Basically, it is the next generation of Zapier.

• “In Linux, everything is considered a file”. Wow I didn’t pay attention to this before even I saw it many times the /dev folders :))

• Each day progress is crucial. I can’t go this far if I do everything in a single day. Just remind myself.

• Aseprite is a tool for designing 2D games, which is awesome. But it still requires design skills. There is also one interesting tool Dungeon Scrawl but still need to do it by myself. ChatGTP can help a bit, still not too much, but I believe we will have one way. Waiting to back to the play site.

• nuqs is a library for state management in React but for query params.

AI frameworks

I didn’t think at first it should be a separate topic until I found it’s truly complicated and many many new things to me. Simple listing first, for the name of frameworks

• CopilotKit will help to build AI agents on the web. It provides React hooks on the frontend for building components like, for example chat button to show the popup dialog. It also provides backend API to connect the data source we provide. On top of that, CoAgent is a framework to build AI agents. It is built on top of another framework langgraph. LangGraph is a lower-level framework to orchestrate many different AI components/workflow together. As I understand langGraph is similar to K8S which acts as an orchestration of many other components. This is, really tons of things to learn.

• Okay next, now I know LangChain, It’s a framework (yes, another framework just in one day). It too new for me and deserves a separate section. And it’s OPEN SOURCE with > 100k GitHub stars!

• bolt.new is an AI web development agent that RUNS ON BROWSER, so we can write code within the browser, no need for any local IDE.

  LangChain

  This sentence makes it easier to understand what it does (not all features)

  A complete set of interoperable building blocks

  

  Augment the power of LLMs with your data

  

  This is extremely powerful to me since RAG is a great design pattern to me in this AI era.

Lucifer effect

Today I saw a book named “Lucifer Effect”, the author is a professor from Standford University. It’s an interesting effect and I like this quote

“If you want to change a person, you have got to change the situation. If you want to change the situation, you have got to know where the power is, in the system“

That’s indeed true. Anybody can become evil when they are in a certain situation and they have the power.
