I pitted these three together to see which one would yield the best result and this blog post is a documentation of that effort. So let's take a look at the prompts, how the tests were executed and what are the takeaways from this that should be considered as a result of this effort. Before I got too far into developing the server component and releasing a version of this into the wild and trying to get folks onboarded into the ecosystem I'm building, I wanted to highlight some progress that's being made on the new FinTech Website ! To do this, I wanted to showcase the different experiences I had using OpenAI's Codex , Anthropic's Claude Code and Cursor . I created a repo and setup the scaffolding for an Angular project I'm building. It's the front-end to my new and upgraded FinTech website . Then, I proceeded to create AGENTS.md at the root of the project and in subdirectories where it made sense. I leverated this to add context in each level of the di...

AI Workflows So, I have been considering make.com for some time now to help me out with workflow automation. I had seen someone using it in the past and thought it was interesting... Then, NetworkChuck's video on n8n crossed my FYP on YouTube... Introducing n8n Website Docs Workflow automation that you can host yourself and get to automating like a pro! Has tons of integrations and this really got me thinking about things that I could automate. This works great as workflow automation visualization tool. In this way, I don't have to hook up all the plumbing for automation, this can serve that purpose. Background: Electricity in Texas Disclaimer: I may not get all these details correct, so don't quote me on how all this works. I just know the players. So, the way electric works here in Texas is you have to select your power company who basically is responsible for collecting the bill and "delivering" electric to your home. I suppose this is great beca...

When I was 15 going on 16 working for my parents at The Metro Inn, I was the only cook in the kitchen from 09:30A until 01:30A. I ran that kitchen even when there was 25+ people in the bar, 15 people downstairs and 10 people in the VIP room, all them hungry and want their food now. I ran that kitchen by myself! Dearest father who had run tablecloth level restaurants expecting me to perform at that level. Did I see a single cent of payment or even just a tip leftover for me as I bus the table afterwards? Hell no! but, I'm not enough... When I was 19 and it was the first day of my life as an adult, I'll never forget the date: Jan 25, 2010. It was my first day working in a corporation, first day of returning to college for online courses with UOPX and it was the first day living on my own without either of my parents. My dad bought me a week in a hotel and that was all I needed until I got my first paycheque. I made my life since then. I got my own driver's license since my...

In response to a LinkedIn post I came across (If you are part of the AWS Certification & Training ). I hit the character limit 😅, so extending on that here. DevOps Automation DevOps has been trying to automate itself out of its role since its inception. That was the whole point of the role in the first place and yet still many orgs are facing: Totally custom setups and never-ending edge cases. Operational dysfunction. Multiple disjointed tools that perform the same functions. Development teams operating in silos that don't conform to the federated guidance DevOps is attempting to implement. Incomplete monitoring systems or multiple monitoring tools that don't cross communicate. Incredibly ever complex logs with vague descriptions as to what actually went wrong. Office politics where confusion exists around role and responsibility when the pipeline breaks. Current Challenges Many orgs are still: In the phase of getting away from monolithic apps into micr...

This is a rant post. The problem I have with AI has multiple layers. I'll try to cover them as best I can in this post. However, this may change over time. Premise It started with an email from Lovable. This weekend, they are doing "free credits" for this championship match among the top AI companies out there: OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude/Sonnet) and Google (Gemini). So I login to see what's going on and what can be done. I talk with ChatGPT a bit on the side to help me craft the perfect prompt. Then I feed that into Lovable to see what the result is. My intention is to have it build the scaffolding and beginning of the front-end so I can continue developing the back-end and have the app up in a weekend. This should go like a breeze, right? Wrong... Problems Current AI Limitations Perception Created Results of Perception Let's break down all these points I see and the outcomes they may produce down the line in the hopes I can save at lea...

After giving it a good trial, Supabase is just not working for me. I really did put in some effort to learn how this works and to try to run this stack. For a self-hosted setup, Supabase is just not for me. Here’s why: Out of the Box Docker Functionality Poorly documented issues AI Access is not built-in (as advertised) Self-Hosted != BaaS Scale? Out of the Box Docker Functionality They say it’s supposed to work out of the box … Just clone the code. Copy your project over. Run docker compose up and you’re off and running to the races! Want more customization? Configure as needed! This was not the case for me. I had to heavily mull thru the docs, configuration, learn the setup. Then on top of that, I HAD to setup my own domains (e.g. studio.mydomain.com, analytics.mydomain.com, functions.mydomain.com, et al) because it didn’t do service discovery properly. I also had to change the network type to bridged because the native network type obscurred all the services and for...
