I generated a quick SQA explainer video clip using Veo. Even with an open ended prompt the holistic view came through.

Experimenting with Veo 3.1. The problem is that an open ended prompt - "explain what an AI Engineer does" - left the door open to an over the top explanation. Or this is the first sign of AI's planned takeover.

Today’s developers don’t just write programs. We design systems that think, reason, and extend themselves.

I’ve made a career building code gen and low / no code tools. I get how AI based code generators and the other tools work. I thought the field was crowded. But if you niche-down, I think there’s still plenty of opportunities.

Can you spot the error that Gemini-CLI made?

Instead of creating a SaaS accessed through a browser, consider building an MCP accessed via a prompt. The tricky part is figuring out how to monetize it.

I’ve posted to GitHub an example of creating, building, running and chatting with a local MCP server in Docker:

Tip of the day:

If you transferred everything from your old Mac to a new Mac, reinstall Docker for Desktop.

I had major issues enabling Kubernetes and couldn’t change the resource settings. I had to start over.

I’ve created an MCP server demo that returns MOCK (as in not real) weather data.

I tested it on a Mac with Claude Desktop.
