In our weekly live Q&A just now, @Nicole Gardner and @Paula Weigel mentioned learning VS Code with Claude. Whol is interested in having a 30 min walk through of the basics of VS Code? Please let me know in the poll!

In case anyone here follows the market like I do, wanted to share this from Bloomberg news this am - so sorry if the links are gated: Anthropic is seeking to raise up to $90.4 billion through a blockbuster initial public offering and private placement, in a bid to make history as the first frontier artificial intelligence lab to go public and exceed the size of SpaceX’s record-setting first-time share sale. The price will be around $78 a share. AMD, Broadcom, Google, Micron, Microsoft, Nvidia and TSMC agreed to a $26.0 billion purchase of its Class N common stock. The purchase is a private placement priced at the IPO price and is contingent on the IPO being completed and on other conditions.

Thanks to @Paula Weigel feedback, I've added the Breaking Bad picture back into the 1.2 Orchestrate multi-agent systems video. Nothing you've already learned changes. It's just one more analogy to make hub-and-spoke stick. What's new: - Use the series Breaking Bad to explain the nature of a hub-and-spoke architecture. Haven't seen the show? No problem, the project manager version is still there. Already watched 1.2? You don't need to rewatch it. Just jump to 2:17 for the Walt part. It takes about 40 seconds. Where to find it - Video: Classroom → CCAF Video Series: Domain 1 → 1.2 Orchestrate multi-agent systems (same lesson, new version) - Slides: the student deck at the bottom of the lesson has one new page, Walt and Saul (page 5) - Reading version: the same picture is now in the text version of the lesson You like the materials and want to access our weekly live Q&A calls?
