Hoping this better prepares them for the industry when they graduate 🤞
During the workshop, we introduced them to Claude, Codex and GitHub but I also shared demos of Claude MCP to Paper, NanoBanana, Stitch by Google, variantui, QuiverAI and pencildev to show them what’s possible today.
This was the first time I ran this workshop in real life so it was quite a learning experience. Stuff I took for granted needs to be further simplified and frankly the scale was hard to manage effectively. I’ll be adding my changes to kenneth.dsouza.im/ai-workshop/ in the coming weeks.
But the students did surprise us. Some ideas that stood out for me:
- a calendar with a unique pixel sea creature for every day
- working prototype of a Casio watch
- a game where an amoeba that needs to survive
- skateboard design customiser
- titanic survivor game
Most of the students had used AI for writing, image generation, market research. Some had created digital artifacts for their projects but half of the students had never written a line of code before. So expecting everyone to have a live project was quite ambitious of us.

So @rasagy.bsky.social and I spent Thursday introducing the current students at NID, Bangalore Campus, the world of making with AI.
Goal: Go from an idea to a live project in 3 hours.

Progress on the figma plugin
4 bots playing Catan. Quite interesting to see their banter.

I am reading it for the first time, and two stories in, it already feels like an all time favourite. RIP Dan Simmons.
Now with local folder storage, multiple projects, project specific chat, themes and design improvements github.com/inosaint/her...

Ankur’s run a local llm to analyse his journals and the reason for a local llm is clear from a privacy and security perspective ankursethi.com/blog/i-used-...
Yeah. I think that would be nice. But I’m not at all that technical. But i definitely thought of it being a future step.
My first time cutting a release, let me know if there’s any way to improve github.com/inosaint/her...
A screenshot of the Hermes mac app. A minimal writing tool where the AI assistant provides feedback and does not write for you.
I really liked the idea of dearhermes.com so I decided to fork it for personal use and somehow ended up making it into a mac app with support for open ai and claude api keys.
what if the Figma MCP wasn't actually useless and let you write to your Figma files? (its easy)

Watching Anime was fairly mainstream while I was growing up in the 90s in India mainly thanks to AXN, CN’s Toonami (airing DragonballZ) and Animax. I even have friends who grew up watching Doraemon, Shinchan and Ninja Hatori because they aired on HungamaTv.
Had a couple of interesting browser specific bugs too. Felt good to be able to debug them.
Making it was fairly challenging from a design and technical side for me. I had not worked on a narrative viz since college so am quite rusty. Visual design isnt my forte either. Had a lot of LLM help in these aspects.
Exhume.link is an exploration into visualizing the forgotten tabs in your browser (with a necrotic twist)
The Computer and what it let you access didnt feel strange. I believe I treated it as an extension of the Television which also gave you access to intangible worlds.
The internet introduction was just like another app. Iirc Msn.com would open by default on the IE. The real fascination I felt was from seeing a WordArt feature on a desktop running MSDOS or seeing SuperMarioBros for the first time.
Made a word guesser game where you need to guess 5 letter words using cryptic hints. Play it here: kenneth.dsouza.im/vibeshift-bl...
Attended @rhizome.org‘s Vibeshift event and worked on some fun projects. You can find them at kenneth.dsouza.im/vibeshift-bl...
Looks really good especially the hour view zoomed out.
Ah yes. I think it’s paid on buttondown. Offprint does look cool. Thanks!!
Ah does this support rss? And if not any service you know which does support rss on free tier?
