Just done with my Day 1 Challenge. It was loaded with questions and lost somewhere in the process how claude manage to connect to shells. It was fun creating and learning. Digesting each step one at a time. It might be too much for a single run but learning will always be a continues process. Thanks Nate.

After much trials and tribulations I finally got it going, at least have the text part of Nate's newsletter done. Once I installed the missing pieces like nodejs etc things started to move right along. Main thing I learned is that this old dog can learn new tricks, whether I can rememebr them is another thing but Claude seems to be good at jogging my memory. 🙃 Also, Mr Claude wanted more money deposited to cover the tokens used. Overall it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to completing the 7 Day Challenge even if it takes me a lot longer.

Just joined and started working through the classroom, and I'm genuinely impressed with the quality. The material feels a lot more practical than most of what's out there. I'd rather be intentional than jump around aimlessly, so for those a bit further along: what's the one lesson or module you'd tell a newcomer to start with? Curious which piece gave you the most value early on. Appreciate any pointers - looking forward to contributing as I go.

Fable 5 is only here for a couple of days so I've challenged myself to make something new with Fable 5 until that window is gone. Today's challenge was inspired by Descript. There are a lot of tools in Descript that I just don't need. Why would I pay for a subscription of tools that I don't need when I can just use Fable 5 to build it custom to my needs? I took the basic audio editing and document-editing style of descript and shrunk it down into just the basic tools I needed. I have been using Fable 5 to get the bulk outline of the project working with whatever credits I have in my 5 hour credit limit. I hope to go back and tweak this project and polish it later.

What’s good, everyone? I’ve been off the grid for a minute. Here's a short loom that explains my Day-5 build in a minute: https://www.loom.com/share/5274384c30e24924bbbb25741876182d I got completely fed up with manually filtering through hundreds of job leads, staring at screens, and writing the same proposals. It takes hours, and honestly, who has the time? I wanted to touch grass, so I built a fully autonomous engine to do the heavy lifting. Here is what I just cooked up: The Real-Time Lead Scoring Dashboard. I didn't just string a couple of basic prompts together; I built a legit two-tier AI architecture to avoid rate limits and keep costs at the absolute floor. - The Vibe Check: Incoming data is processed by a lightning-fast Llama 3 model running on Groq hardware. Its only job is to grade the lead on a 1-10 scale in literal milliseconds. - The Heavy Lifter: If the lead passes the vibe check, it gets routed to a massive 70B-parameter model that drafts a highly tailored, bespoke proposal. - The Aesthetics: I piped all of this backend logic through Supabase Realtime WebSockets into a custom Next.js UI styled with Tailwind and Framer Motion. The dashboard updates instantly as the AI works—no page refreshes, just smooth animations. Why this is a massive W if you run a business: I built this specific dashboard for my own pipeline, but the underlying engine is completely universal. If your company is manually qualifying inbound leads, sorting data, or dealing with clunky AI tools that crash when you try to scale, you are burning cash and time. This two-tier architecture drops API costs by 90% and runs entirely hands-free. I just recorded a Loom video breaking down the exact Next.js and n8n architecture. Drop a comment below if you want the link (or if you want me to send over the local deployment files so you can test the code on your own machine!). If you’re a founder looking to build this exact real-time infrastructure into your operations—my DMs are open. Let's chat.
