Carific AI S1E0: The trailer I'm building an AI-powered career development platform. Open source. MIT licensed. Every line of code public. Here's what I'm working on 🧵

Don’t stop trying because it didn’t work. It never works the first time.

Lesson: If your streaming API writes "processing started" events, you can end up with empty assistant messages on disconnect. Don't just check message role. Check for meaningful content. Building AI agents? What edge cases have bitten you?

Fixed by checking for MEANINGFUL content: const hasMeaningfulContent = lastMessage.parts.some( (p) => p.type === "text" || p.type === "reasoning" || p.type.startsWith("tool-") ); if (!hasMeaningfulContent) { // Show retry card }

Carific AI S2E7: The one where the AI agent wouldn't stop talking Built an AI resume tailor. User clicks "Start" and... nothing. Chat shows their message. No response. UI frozen. Here's the bug that took hours to find 🧵 github.com/ImAbdullahJan/… #buildinpublic

@m4ciejb Almost 2 weeks part-time

@Mr_AbdullahJan That's pretty interesting, how long did you spend building that thing?

Two lessons: 1. Never use index as key for reorderable lists. Generate UUIDs on creation. 2. Collecting sensitive PII? Add explicit consent flows with warnings. The "last 10%" of production hardening is where the real work happens. What bugs has code review caught for you?

Code review also caught this: collecting date of birth, gender, nationality without consent = GDPR violation. Added: - Privacy warning UI - Consent checkbox - Database flag to track consent - Conditional PDF rendering Legal compliance isn't optional.

Carific AI S2E6: The one where React keys broke everything Added "move up/down" buttons to reorder resume sections. Worked perfectly. Until users started typing. Then focus disappeared mid-keystroke. Here's the bug that code review caught 🧵 github.com/ImAbdullahJan/…
