Hey everyone, I’m Ved. I joined @Stephen G. Pope community about two years ago because I wanted to learn AI and automation and figure out how I could make a living online. A few months after joining, I started helping people inside the community while continuing to learn. I eventually had a conversation with Stephen, and he gave me an opportunity to work with him and help run the community. That opportunity changed a lot for me. Over the next year and a half, I learned much more than just AI and automation. I learned how online businesses work, how to build things people actually need, and how to work with clients and a team. Along the way, I started getting my own clients and slowly built my own business on the side. One of the biggest things I was able to do with what I earned was start building a home for my family. Three weeks ago, the house was finally completed, and I moved in with my family. So I just wanted to share this as a small win and say thank you to this community, and especially to Stephen, for the opportunity and everything I learned along the way. Really grateful for the journey so far, and excited for what comes next.

Hey Architects! I've turned the Friday call into a 1-on-1 Q&A with me directly. Come ask questions on AI, agents, coding, business or anything on your mind. See what others are building too. >> Add it to your calendar << See you there!

I just upgraded my n8n version today to v2.36.8 and this popped up! Its about time they bring this to the self hosting community!

Hey Architects, Learn how the DeepSeek Harness works and why it is attracting so much attention in the coding agent space right now. We break down the technical details simply so you can apply this to your own projects. This video explores the DeepSeek Harness, a new tool that has quickly gained significant traction with over 12,000 commits. If you are currently using tools like Cursor, Cloud Code, or Codex, this breakdown is designed to help you understand how these coding agents function under the hood. We approach this advanced topic from a practical perspective, making it accessible for developers who want to level up their workflow. By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of the DeepSeek Harness architecture and how it compares to other coding agents you might already use.

Hey Architects, Most AI agents live in a separate workspace. Shockwave is different—it's an open source desktop app that puts a Claude Code-style agent directly inside your note taking app (second brain), working in the same files you are. The real difference is the sync. Every workspace is backed by a GitHub repo, so your desktop, the cron jobs running on your server, and your Telegram chats are all working on the same files—fast enough that it feels like one place instead of three. Dictate a note from your phone and it lands on your desktop seconds later. Reply to a cron report in Telegram and pick that same conversation up at your desk. I also cover linked notes and the live graph, self-improving skills, memory, and a full install from droplet to Telegram bot.
