this guy built a 200-line AI agent and told it one thing:
"evolve yourself until you rival claude code"
then he stopped touching the code
every 8 hours a github action wakes it up. it reads its own source code, yesterday's journal, and github issues from strangers.
it decides what to improve, builds the fix, runs tests.
pass = commit. fail = revert
no human in the loop
by day 4 it had already reorganized its own codebase into modules. unprompted
it tried to google anthropic's pricing to add cost tracking. couldn't parse the HTML. tried 5 different approaches. gave up and hardcoded the numbers from memory. then left itself a note: "don't search this again"
it files github issues for itself. "noticed this bug, didn't have time, tomorrow me fix this"
the best part: every single journal entry says it should implement streaming output. every single session it does something else instead
it's procrastinating. like a real developer which is crazy
200 lines to 1,500+ lines. 47 tests. $12 in API costs. zero human commits
AND its all open source and free too
Free certs are great for fundamentals, but here's the real test: can you ship a production app using these skills in 30 days?
My checklist:
- Build 1 real project per course
- Deploy it live (not local)
- Add it to your portfolio
That's what actually replaces a degree. Not the certificate.
🚨BREAKING: Anthropic just dropped free courses to master AI with certificates.
No tuition. No waitlist. No BS.
Here're 10 courses that will replace a $50K degree👇
those of us in the ai filter bubble would do well to realise that "AI" is the perfect figurehead for the latent, incoherent rage that people feel about surveillance capitalism, the casino, and the unelected tech bros who rule the world.
