Over the last few days, our journey has taken an exhilarating turn. We now boast a fully functional TikTok clone, complete with project-based scrolling and a community-driven approach to collecting and sharing videos. But this isn't your ordinary clone; we're integrating plans for AI-powered features like video mashing and meme engines to transform the familiar doomscrolling experience into something creative and collaboratively engaging!
Innovation on the Tech Front
On the technical side, we're diving into the depths of Stable Diffusion and exploring complex mapping techniques to build next-level AI creation tools. Our ambition? To enable a powerful suite of AI functionality that redefines the way we interact with video content.
Collaboration & Challenges
Meetings have been buzzing with energy – we recently connected with the team from Windsurf, whose tool offers a fresh perspective similar to Cursor. There's even a hint of a hidden nitro button waiting to be discovered! Meanwhile, on my dev side, I'm stuck in versioning hell with Flutter/Android. I'm trying to guide the AI through the process instead of coding myself, and it's as frustrating as it sounds.
Milestones & Exciting Prospects
Amidst all of this, we achieved a major milestone: our domain is-a.dev has been approved! Adding to the excitement, we recently met with students from Alpha School in Austin. Their wildly innovative approach to education has them pitching creative, AI-first app ideas – and there's real potential for us to build some of these concepts!
And yes, while I didn't contribute any artwork myself (self-centered and not that talented), a huge shout-out to Abraham for his stellar illustration!

The Future is Now: Danielle Rios's Bold Vision for AI Education 🚀
March 26, 2024
3 min read
"In five years, we won't be talking about 4-year CS degrees anymore." These powerful words from Danielle Rios sent shockwaves through the room today as she laid out her revolutionary vision for GauntletAI and the future of technology education. In a talk that felt more like a glimpse into the future, Rios challenged everything we thought we knew about learning computer science.
100-Hour Weeks: The Price of Revolution 🔥
When Rios spoke about GauntletAI's infamous 100-hour work weeks, you could feel the intensity in her voice. "This isn't about grinding," she emphasized, "it's about compression of time and acceleration of learning." In an AI-first world, where tools can multiply our productivity by 10x or even 100x, she argued that traditional educational timeframes are becoming obsolete. The program's intensity isn't just about quantity—it's about immersing yourself in the future before anyone else gets there.
Disrupting the Ivory Tower 🏛️💥
The most audacious part of Rios's vision? The claim that GauntletAI's 100-day program could replace what Stanford and MIT teach in 4 years. Here's why she believes it's possible:
Traditional CS theory is being revolutionized by AI—what took months to learn can now be mastered in days
Real-world projects trump theoretical knowledge in an AI-first world
The speed of technological change means shorter, more intensive learning cycles are more valuable
AI tools are becoming so powerful that learning to leverage them effectively is more important than traditional programming
The Great Software Disruption 🌊
But perhaps the most fascinating part of Rios's talk was her analysis of AI's impact on the broader technology landscape. "We're not just replacing developers," she declared, "we're replacing entire software businesses." She painted a picture of a near future where:
Legacy software companies will face unprecedented disruption from AI-first alternatives
Small teams leveraging AI will outperform traditional companies with hundreds of developers
The ability to work with AI will become more valuable than traditional coding skills
New business models will emerge that were previously impossible without AI
Personal Reflection 💭
Sitting in that room, watching Rios map out this bold future, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and vertigo. We're not just learning to code differently—we're part of a movement that's redefining what's possible in technology. The 100-hour weeks suddenly make perfect sense: we're not just building software, we're racing to be part of the first wave of AI-native developers who will reshape the industry.
As Rios concluded her talk with a challenge to "build things that make today's impossible tomorrow's ordinary," I looked around the room and saw the same fire in everyone's eyes. We're not just here to learn—we're here to be part of a revolution. And if Rios is right (and I'm betting she is), the future belongs to those who can embrace this new paradigm first.
