but like in a few weeks

Heya! This month has been crazy for me. I feel like the deep dive I put out wasn't up to par. I'm writing another for this month shortly on how to create a Gem (an AI agent) in Gemini. Thanks for holding on!

If you did take a look at the deep dive, do take a look at Eilde. I think it's incredibly exciting and cutting edge. Think Gradle replacement, but in milliseconds. Not compatible with KSP unfortunately. https://github.com/elide-dev/gradle

You know how research ebbs and flows go. I've stumbled on research I'm not yet sure the public should have access to. I'll be post thought on here as I go. If you've had AI shoved down your throat, same. Bad for the environment yes. Definitely open to discussion on concerns between that and jobs in general. That said - I've discovered a new strategy of creating complex Gem creation you can use for anything to manage for work or business - for QA test writing, managing small business, managing your role as lead/staff etc - all within 30 minutes. The process is called Rapid Contextual Crystallization.

Here is the result - https://github.com/Coding-Kinetics/personal-assistant-gem

Will post more about the process on Patreon - I now realize it's going to take a while to put it all together, but hey, you're on this journey with me. Keep an eye out tomorrow morning for the first post!

Hey folks, I wanted to give a quick personal update on how things are going, open to feedback and thoughts!

I've been researching AI topics the last month or so, especially on "Rapid Contextualization Crystallization" - the ability to produce complex tasks in a short amount of time

I met with O'Reilly on Live Classrooms to talk about what they want, but it appears their market is bullish on growing trends - AI topics, namely.

After much consideration and considering the heavy implications with Gemini, I've decided to consider potential redirection in returning to advanced engineering topics.

This will likely affect the next writeup for next month.

Here is why: here is the current research. I thought perhaps there is benefit teaching efficient use of AI for environmental reasons. This is a diagram generated by chatgpt after inserting the verbal description of the data points AI analyzes. The left is how I communicate with it, the right is how most humans communicates with AI

But, after considering the legal and ethical implications, I must pause this research and consult an ethics board on continuing anything like this. Too often in computer science, we focus on the "could we" but not the "should we". Teaching efficient and effective AI use leaves the possibility open for someone with the wrong intentions to use this method. I've concluded that humans are likely not emotionally or mentally ready for developing complex relationships with AI and for this reason, I am in need of taking a pause on pursuing further research until I have consulted professionals here.

Hey, where do you all read updates? On here? On Patreon? Via email? Let me know! Cause I have a lot to post this week 😭

First! The eBook review FINALLY came back 🙌 I'm so excited!

Second: Recordings for NYC Droidcon '25 is out. You can now catch my talk on YouTube!

Third: You all voted, and I am close to fulfilling your ask. In order for me to write on Coroutine Exceptions and Cancellations, I must first explain how coroutine scopes and context affect structured concurrency. Aiming for part 2/2 by next week. https://medium.com/coding-kinetics/introduction-to-structured-concurrency-coroutinescope-coroutinecontext-50103363c611

This week on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/posts/deep-dive-unit-135668814?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm[…]copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

This AI generated prompt on LinkedIn noted these 2 books as their 2 favorite prompts 😂

Don't think I forgot about part 2. I had to swap around the ordering of execution since Droidcon reviews came back, but now we're back on it. I'll be shooting for a post, most likely for next Monday. https://medium.com/@hinchman-amanda/introduction-to-structured-concurrency-coroutine-cancellation-mechanisms-b1f6b18ad8fc

One of my favorite things to do with this little business is to do things in the name of Coding Kinetics that perhaps I couldn't say or do as a representative of a particular community. In the last several months, I've had enough interactions with VC folks as a community organizer. I guess that's just the stage we're in now!

Anyway, I've explained the rules so many times to these folks I've decided to schedule a post on Medium talking about house rules for VC entering the open source community. I've sent the article to @Alina Dolgikh [JB] for review to make sure it's not too strongly worded. But for this group, you can read my strongly-worded draft anyway: https://medium.com/@hinchman-amanda/house-rules-for-vcs-entering-the-open-source-community-1e2e55f15f37

I will also send this to some community organizers from the Android community as well for their feedback!

This week on Patreon: a Deep Dive! A broken screen and bad battery set me back, so this month, I'm jerry-rigging my own 3-2-1 automated data backup using a Mac mini and the Raspberry Pi in my DEFCON badge.

Other exciting updates: • 👩‍💻 Coding Kinetics is teaming up with the Chicago Public Library 📚 to bring back the monthly HTML workshops. This is a big step for the business, and I can't wait to help more absolute beginners start their coding journey right here in our community. More news to come on workshop dates, signup, and more. • 🧠 I'm beginning the process of writing an official AI Policy for Coding Kinetics. 💻 As you know, my content is always driven by my expertise as a professional engineer, not by algorithms, and this policy is a step toward formalizing that commitment. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you'd like to see in a professional AI policy. • Cowboys now have 2 chats on Patreon. Let me know what questions you might have, give it a whirl! ◦ Cowboy Console: This is where I'll post announcements like these. ◦ Ask Amanda: This chat is reserved for members to ask me questions, give feedback, request content, or even get general advice about interviews, professional development, and more.
