Full Stack AI Coding Agent with just One Prompt + Ryan Reynolds?!


Hey Reader,

So apparently Deadpool is giving a keynote at a developer conference now. Yes, Ryan Reynolds is speaking at the Postman Conference and I’m still trying to process that 🤯

I recently had a conversation with a friend who really missed in-person connections. It's hard to be at home all the time and it is only when you meet like minded people in a room is when your creative juice flows.

Things like I didn't know how tall you were or didn't know you had a dog etc. come up which is getting harder to replace.

I suggested him to go to conferences and connect with people. You learn so much and meet people IRL.

So yeah—go for the networking, stay for the Reynolds.

Check out the Postman Conference below.

🍿 Weekly Snack: AI Coding Agent

We've reached a point where AI needs to write production-ready apps, not just prototypes.

I found a AI Coding Agent that does just that.

It builds and deploys a full stack end-to-end real-time web application with authentication, robust database, a backend, and even live syncs it with just one prompt 🤯.

Now that is just freaking awesome.

It is called as Convex Chef 👩‍🍳 and I share a in-depth video covering it here👇
