Isaac's Updates: Free Resources + New AI Coding Course
|
I know I don't send updates as often as I should. I get too caught up building stuff! But I've been working on a lot of exciting stuff and have a big backlog of things to share. π What's NewI'm partnering with Eleanor Berger to launch a comprehensive course on AI-Assisted Coding. As part of this project, I'm publishing tons of free content on my new Substack. Want to stay in the loop? Follow my substack here for all the latest updates and free resources. π What I've Been Working OnI've been diving deep into AI coding tools to prepare for the course. Here's what's already live (with much more coming): Tool Reviews & Deep DivesI test AI coding tools on real projects to give you honest, practical insights:
βCheck out all the reviews hereβ Free Expert Talks (All Recorded!)I'm hosting a series of conversations with industry leaders and the top technical people building the top tools. Can't make it live? No problem, just follow me on the Substack and you'll get the recording and notes when I post it. Here's the currently scheduled ones (more in the works):
I think every one of these will be incredible. I am excited because I will personally learn from each one. What's Next?The best way to stay updated is through my Substack. That's where all my new information, guides, tutorials, etc. will be posted in the coming months. Thanks, Isaac P.S. Seriously, these talks are going to be gold. Even if you can't attend live, sign up to get the recordings. |

Hey this is Isaac, This week has been about closing loops. I'm releasing the DevRelifier (product for helping share and promote tech stuff), which means dealing with the unsexy parts of software development: tax setup and final testing. Itβs less about coding creative features and more about ensuring the business actually works without breaking the law or the user experience. If you want to try the product, reply to this email for more info and free credits. The Build: The Unsexy Last Mile...
Hey this is Isaac, I met with some dear friends, Danny and Audrey Roy Greenfeld, in Baltimore for a mini-sprint on the air web-dev framework. Walking around a science museum while brainstorming and cafe-hopping while hacking together was a blast. During the sprint I created a new testing example (unit, integration, and end-to-end playwright tests) and began extracting features from private codebases into small, public libraries. I also learned that a late evening espresso martini is not the...
Hey this is Isaac, This week I was fixing some basic and classic async problems: a "processing" pill that never updated to "complete." Blech. The goal is to prevent long-running tasks from freezing the user interface. If something takes a second, itβs fine to expect the user to stay on the page until it completes. But if it takes 5 minutes? Users will want to be able to do other things while itβs processing. So we have background tasks that run independently of the UI the user sees. But the...
