If you give me 8 minutes of your time today, I'll show you how to:
✅ choose, deploy and test the right model for your use case,
✅ design, build, deploy and test an AI agent on Microsoft #Foundry,
✅ integrate the agent to your website,
ALL FROM YOUR TERMINAL, with GITHUB COPILOT CLI 😱
No Azure/Foundry knowledge required!

An architecture that works for 100 users may not work for 100,000. A quick solution that helps you launch today can become a major limitation tomorrow.
At Retinue Systems, we think beyond the first version of a product.

Lots of people talking about this the past couple days, so I wrote up some thoughts on it.
AI coding agents make software faster to build and technical debt easier to fix. But what happens when implementation moves faster than learning?

Feeling motivated watching this

It's so easy to feel uncomfortable when you're being challenged.
"what if they think I'm dumb"
"what if they don't trust me"
"what if I don't know the answer"
And the truth is, if you're not getting challenged, you're not growing.
It's okay for someone to say to you "this doesn't make sense", regardless of how much you study/learn, because there's no greater learning than from a trusted source.
The opinions/thought processes of a person you trust opens the door for you to think differently.
And that's growth.

Be so hungry for the outcome that every day without progress bothers you deeply.

Y Combinator is spotting AI-written startup applications.
Longer responses, “wedge,” and spaced em dashes are becoming tell-tale signs.
AI may make your application polished, but does it still sound like you?
