3 Things I Learned Last Week #89 – Building a Developer Brand, AI-Enhanced Knowledge, and the Perfect Second Brain

Welcome to the 89th edition of “3 Things I Learned Last Week,” the newsletter that’s like a box of chocolates for your brain – you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s always deliciously informative! 🍫🧠

Buckle up, knowledge seekers! We’re about to embark on a wild ride through the jungles of AI, the mountains of productivity, and the treacherous waters of personal branding. Don’t worry, I’ve packed snacks and a first-aid kit for our intellectual journey.

Here’s what I’ve cooked up for you this week (warning: may contain traces of brilliance):

  1. Creating the MOST POWERFUL AI Agent for Your Second Brain (or How to Make Skynet Jealous)
  2. Obsidian + Cursor = Magical AI Knowledge Management (No Wizards Were Harmed in the Making of This Combo)
  3. How to Sell Yourself as a Developer (Without Feeling Like a Used Car Salesman)

Let’s dive in faster than a caffeinated squirrel on a sugar rush!

🧠 Creating the MOST POWERFUL AI Agent for Your Second Brain

Picture this: You’re sitting in your secret lair (aka your home office), stroking your chin thoughtfully, when suddenly – BAM! – you realize your second brain needs a serious upgrade. Enter Copilot Plus, the AI sidekick that’ll make even Tony Stark’s JARVIS green with envy.

🔑 Key Takeaways (or “Things That’ll Make You Go ‘Whoa’”):

  • Copilot Plus 2.7.0 is like steroids for your brain, minus the weird side effects.
  • It can handle everything from “What day is it?” to “Help me plan world domination” (for legal reasons, that’s a joke).
  • This AI understands you better than your childhood bestie – it even remembers your favorite ice cream flavor!
  • Unlike that sketchy app that’s probably selling your data to alien overlords, Copilot Plus keeps your secrets locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

🪄 Obsidian + Cursor = Magical AI Knowledge Management

Imagine if your notes and code had a baby, and that baby was raised by AI wizards. That’s essentially what happens when Obsidian and Cursor join forces in an epic crossover event that puts Marvel to shame.

🔑 Key Takeaways (or “Mind-Blowing Facts That’ll Make You the Coolest Nerd at the Party”):

  • Obsidian is like a black hole for knowledge – it sucks in everything from your deepest thoughts to that random fact about platypuses you learned last Tuesday.
  • Cursor is the cool kid on the block, using AI to turn your coding sessions into a scene from “The Matrix.”
  • Together, they’re like peanut butter and jelly, except instead of a sandwich, you get a knowledge management system so powerful it might become self-aware.

👨‍💻 How to Sell Yourself as a Developer (Without Selling Your Soul)

In a world where every developer and their dog knows how to code, standing out is harder than finding a bug in 10,000 lines of code. But fear not, intrepid coder! This guide will help you craft a personal brand so irresistible, employers will be sliding into your DMs faster than you can say “Hello World.”

🔑 Key Takeaways (or “How to Make Recruiters Swipe Right”):

  • Discover your superpower (Hint: It’s probably not your ability to survive on coffee and pizza alone).
  • Create a brand more consistent than your commitment to using semicolons.
  • Focus on the impact of your work, not just the fact that you can make computers do cool things.
  • Level up your soft skills – because talking to humans is (unfortunately) part of the job.
