  • Episode 97 - Tailwind CSS and then some!
    Sep 21 2024

    Well, what do you know? back to some frontend web stuff no less!

    I have been using bootstrap CSS for years, and still do, but when I eventually realised Tailwind CSS was “something”, I have since been trying a few projects out with Tailwind CSS. However, because I am lazy and have been using WordPress with Elementor (page builder), I stumbled across dev dojo and some of their product offerings, one of which is “tails” - a page builder using Tailwind CSS no less! It looks really cool and produces a webpage/site with Tailwind CSS for the display aspects.

    Interestingly, dev dojo also have a product called “pines” which using AlpineJS and TailwindCSS to build really stylish websites too… AlpineJS is an ultra-minimal JavaScript framework that I really must rediscover!

    Until next time, take care!

  • Episode 96 - AI Agents and Agentic Systems
    Sep 14 2024

    We are not talking just chatbots - albeit more intelligent ones!

    An AI agent/assistant can be tasked to do specific things to reach a goal and work with other agents, either in parallel, or sequential (i.e. do all these things first, then does this).

    The cool thing is each AI agent can use a completely different model i.e. you don’t have to tie everything into just chatGPT/Open AI. You might find a different model or model sets beneficial for certain things.

    Also, the big component is a mix of RAG (retrieval augmented generation), goal setting and external “tools” or functions where you can call out to external systems.

    I will be creating a video (Just Fifteen Mins! as if I ever stick to any timeline!) to explain a few of these concepts in more details. I am also going to be creating a workshop course too! not overly technical, but mostly from a business perspective about the concepts and how they could benefit companies. Again, we are not talking just fancy chatbots!

    Until next time, take care everyone!

    Please consider subscribing too! It’s okay, you don’t have to pay - unless you want to of course! :) If you do pay for a subscription, you will get a free weekly update from the chief unicorn - Ulysses :)

  • Episode 95 - Note Taking Again!
    Sep 7 2024

    Well, for the time being, I am sticking with OneNote as I have so much in there!

    However, the way Obsidian Notes is moving, is looking tempting. Of course, the notes/data stay on your device which is a plus however, for convenience, you will most likely need the data synchronised to your other devices. It is possible of course!

    Also, AI is ever creeping in to everything in modern life - love it or hate it.
