Inspiration
As an early career software engineer navigating the new realm of AI technologies, I want to know what the most important trending topics are that will help guide my future career path. In previous times, I might have been able to browse academic papers, YouTube tutorials, or books. But as the ecosystem of AI tools and concepts change so fast day-to-day, I need a faster way to learn about trending topics every day.
What it does
Combination of a news site / social media feed / prep course system
How we built it
Vibecoding with Cursor and Google Gemini!
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge I faced was designing the architecture of a modern agentic AI platform. This new architecture style differs slightly from traditional data-driven software applications. It was hard to make my product unique from another LLM wrapper or simply an "AI-powered" product where AI was not used to its full capability.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The learning journey!
What we learned
MCP servers. Agentic tools for the appliaction as well as improving my productivity, e.g. cost-saving hacks for vibecoding with Cursor.
