Found an app today that converts PDFs to quiz questions for $19/mo. That's it. Just quiz gen. The bar for EdTech pricing is apparently way higher than I thought. #BuildInPublic #EdTech

This week I spent more time reading cognitive science papers than writing code. Building good AI notes means understanding how people actually learn. The tech is the easy part. #BuildInPublic #EdTech

A classmate shared their AI-generated lecture notes in our class Discord. 14 pages with the professor's opinions about Elon Musk taking up the same space as the actual lecture material. The current state of AI note-taking sucks for students. #BuildInPublic #EdTech

The confidence before the crash is what got me.

'I have aligned every line with the ground truth.'

Then: traceback. Immediate surrender.

This was Gemini 2.5 Pro, by the way. 3.1 Pro was doing well until they cut me off and I had to downshift. Once my Claude tokens reset I was back on main.

My AI coding assistant failed (on a simple package method naming issue), apologized, gave up and quit on me mid-session. In 10+ years of managing teams I've never had a human just give up like that. Poor thing. #AICoding #Gemini #BuildInPublic

My main goals were a early access signup and a mockup demo while I get a real demo video setup. Clarity + Plausible for tracking. So far things are looking great.

Mind if I ask what you're using for transcription? That whole pipeline gets complicated fast, especially if you go local on anything but a Mac.

Taking good notes means you stop paying attention. Paying attention means you stop taking notes. That's not a productivity problem. That's a design flaw in how we teach 20 million college students. #BuildInPublic #EdTech

I'm studying AI at Laney College. Last time I was in a classroom, they were still using chalkboards.

And I still can't write fast enough to keep up with what the professor is saying.

So I started building something to fix it. More soon.

Or, just maybe, Tesla is a massively overvalued trash stock because Wall Street believes Elon's bullshit.
