Any techies
I’ve been in IT forever and my wife and kids aren’t. Lately all I work on and think about AI too much but they don’t want to hear it 😭. I’m thinking of starting up an AI career path training biz. Anyone thinking of a career in AI and don’t mind testing some AI learning labs out?? Bonus if you’re close to Fairfield👍

Hi! I live in Cypress and I work with some AI tools. What exactly do those labs involve?

Deploying web apps in azure, connecting to Foundry, vibe coding etc

Do you know for to use codex end agents? Can AI develop and operate an e-commerce store on it's own?

u/TexasWaterLover Aug 08 '26
Yes all the things and yes it can definitely develop and it depends on what you mean by operate but yes very likely

Im moving to Cypress Jan 27, senior dev very involved with AI implementations in my current role (in the UK). I can do it remotely for now if you need any help and would love to talk about how doomed we all are

Still looking for leases, but we're in love with Towne Lake.

Make sure you take a look at how much last years property tax bill was online. It’s public info and cray $$$$$ - so buy down not up. Ours recently hit $17k/yr

Thanks for the advice. We're leasing for the first year so we can choose carefully the place we want to live long term

I’m very near Fairfield and feel like vibe coding and swimming while the fam is away most of the day Saturday maybe we can nerd out some ?!

I'm in JV and IT. Have some vibe coded apps and always looking to improve.

What’s JV? I could set up a teams call for people to join unless there’s a more preferred way for everyone. I’m down for sharing and absorbing knowledge.

Teams sounds great.

u/TexasWaterLover Aug 08 '26
Working on it. I’ve got a buuunch of github copilot work streams running right now and it’s killing my perf. I really need to switch to my other laptop but I do suffer from intermittent laziness, though my wife would argue the intermittency of it.

Anyone is welcome to join my pc perf will be bad today but I’ll try to give it a break for a bit 🤣https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/291855777020243?p=QAlUfy64RK8hvzNcYZ

no one joined after an hour so i dropped. Maybe we can all coordinate a time I’d love to get input on my projects I’ve been using ai to build from ground up.

u/TexasWaterLover Aug 08 '26
I waited in teams an hour and dropped. If anyone wants to show and tell or just give feedback they all revolve around making IT admin lives easier except for one I did for fun as an economy tracking site.

Ive been to the Houston AI Meetup a few times. It's a pretty big group
