@Aaron Quiroz been crushing it as our Community Triage Lead. Inbound across Instagram, Skool, and Discord has gotten genuinely out of hand, and Aaron stepped in and built real order out of the chaos. He's fast, he's thoughtful, and he actually reads what you send before responding. That matters Going forward, if you're trying to reach me about work, partnerships, projects, or anything that needs a real conversation, please send it to Aaron first. He has visibility into my calendar and priorities, and he'll get things routed correctly. If it needs me, I'll be there. If someone else on the team can handle it faster, even better. I'm still around and still reading. This just makes sure your message actually gets seen and answered instead of buried under hundreds of others. Thanks for rolling with the change. And seriously, thank you Aaron.

https://tinyurl.com/kidbiohw-1 My Kiddo was asking me to help studying for High School Biology. Easy and light work right. Well let's add context and nuance. 1. My kid spends time between two homes and trying the telephone or screen sharing version of tutoring is an added challenge. 2. Add to that I have to spend the time learning not only what the course material is but how it's being taught to kids (Thanks Florida School system). Not all of us have great teachers like Mrs. Van Clief. So I created a process to take all the lessons and make my kid a study guide. I didn't just throw this at Claude without a plan. I knew what outcome I wanted and did UAT with the customer (my kid). So I build her a Biology Study Buddy. What it is: A self- contained biology study app for students topic-based lessons with reading sections followed by multiple-choice quizzes. Here is my very complicated tech stack (sarcasm) Backend: Google Apps Script (.gs files) — Code.gs serves the web app via doGet(), Curriculum.gs holds all lesson content as a JS object. Frontend: Single-page HTML/CSS/JS — Index.html is the shell, App.html contains all styles, markup, and logic inline. Hosting: Deployed as a Google Apps Script Web App (free, no server needed) Data/State: Local Storage for student progress — no database, no sign-in Fonts: Google Fonts — Baloo 2 (headings), Fredoka (subheadings), Inter (body) Design: Dark theme (#0f1729 base), card-based topic grid, CSS custom properties, mobile-responsive Architecture: Extremely simple — 4 files total. The curriculum is a large structured JS array (topics → sections → quizzes with explanations). Apps Script's Html Service templates the HTML and serves it. No build step, no dependencies, no framework. Content: Each topic has an intro, multiple reading sections, and a 10-question quiz with answer explanations. Currently includes at least 3 topics (lab safety, the brain, nature of science) with the curriculum file being quite large (~38K tokens), so likely many more.

Was anyone else affected by the Claude outage last evening April 29? When it came back I lost access to my account. This evening I spent two hours convincing Fin (the support AI) that it was an Anthropic issue, not my computer or browser. Now Fin says they will investigate but I don't get a support ticket number and Fin won't confirm a time frame or even promise that I will get a response. I realize my $20 does not buy concierge service but losing access indefinitely is very discouraging. If I want to keep going I have to start again in a new account. I have Github repos for the project and the project context but I only committed half of yesterday's work, and I no longer have access to the session I was working in or all the prior ones. I won't just sit here, but what should I do? Should I show my repos to some other tool? Bite the bullet and drop a new $20? Those sessions and my past ones will never meet.
