Is anyone else finding that in building things they're maxing out things like Github Actions etc? Do I just need to suck it up and pay for things rather than trying to do everything for free, or is it more about being a bit more selective/efficient with how they're used? Which tools do you feel it's worth paying for, and which do you manage perfectly well with on a free tier? So far I'm paying for: - Netlify Personal for hosting - Perplexity (and even then I've used up all of November's usage allowance already!!) - Claude - GPT - Various LLM APIs I'm trying to get by without paying for the following: - Github and Github actions (but it's got to the point where i'm having to run CI locally until the end of the month) - Vercel (as I'm just about getting by with the free hosting, although I have to regularly delete old deployments) - Umami (for analytics) - Google Stitch - Things like Kit (newsletter subscriptions), and Resend - Miro

🤯🤯 Ok try this experiment. I asked my LLMs to turn everything we've ever talked about into a periodic table. Want to see what your brain looks like according to any LLM? Here is what ChatGPT told me, and here's the prompt: "Create my personalized 8-bit Periodic Table of our conversations based on everything you know about me. Analyze our past conversations and identify 30–40 recurring topics, interests, projects, obsessions, and unexpected rabbit holes. Turn each topic into a chemical element with a unique symbol, number, name, and tiny pixel-art icon. Group the elements into color-coded categories. Highlight my four defining elements: ⭐ My Superpower ❤️ My Biggest Obsession 🎮 My Favorite Side Quest 🚀 My Next Frontier Design the result as a beautiful, high-resolution 8-bit pixel-art infographic inspired by retro video games, with pastel colors, pixelated borders, and a midnight-purple background. Title it 'The Periodic Table of Our Conversations.' Make it surprisingly specific, personal, a little funny, and shareable. Only use conversation history you can actually access. Avoid sensitive details and don't invent facts. Generate the image." What's yours?

I created a website with an automated blog is a part of this course. Now other AI blogs are picking up posts from my AI blog and citing them. Things are getting really circular. Full read here - My automated blog got cited. Am I helping kill the internet? - Ken Ashe | AI Application Builder

Pleased to see there are actually quite a lot of people based in the UK. Have folks ever organised a meet up? And if not, would you be up for it?
