I moved! | Build in public E121

All right, this is an update for my All right, this is an update for my All right, this is an update for my build and public log. It’s been a while build and public log. It’s been a while build and public log. It’s been a while and I have an important announcement. and I have an important announcement. and I have an important announcement. I have moved. I am now officially in I have moved. I am now officially in I have moved. I am now officially in London, England. Uh that’s why you have London, England. Uh that’s why you have London, England. Uh that’s why you have not seen me for a while. I’ve not given not seen me for a while. I’ve not given not seen me for a while. I’ve not given an update in like oh a week over a week an update in like oh a week over a week an update in like oh a week over a week now cuz I was busy with my move. Uh now cuz I was busy with my move. Uh now cuz I was busy with my move. Uh turns out moving across the world is a turns out moving across the world is a turns out moving across the world is a lot of work. There’s a lot of lot of work. There’s a lot of lot of work. There’s a lot of miscellaneous things you have to do. And miscellaneous things you have to do. And miscellaneous things you have to do. And yeah, I’m officially here. I’m yeah, I’m officially here. I’m yeah, I’m officially here. I’m officially a resident of the UK. I live officially a resident of the UK. I live officially a resident of the UK. I live in central London now. Uh, I’m so so so in central London now. Uh, I’m so so so in central London now. Uh, I’m so so so excited. Let’s jump into the update. excited. Let’s jump into the update. excited. Let’s jump into the update. What the hell have I been doing besides What the hell have I been doing besides What the hell have I been doing besides moving? So, that took up a lot of my moving? So, that took up a lot of my moving? So, that took up a lot of my time. The whole week was just all my time. The whole week was just all my time. The whole week was just all my free time was dedicated to like getting free time was dedicated to like getting free time was dedicated to like getting all these little things taken care of, all these little things taken care of, all these little things taken care of, packing, cleaning, you know, you know, packing, cleaning, you know, you know, packing, cleaning, you know, you know, the routine of torturous redeye flight. the routine of torturous redeye flight. the routine of torturous redeye flight. Yesterday was really rough, but um Yesterday was really rough, but um Yesterday was really rough, but um feeling a bit better today. What the feeling a bit better today. What the feeling a bit better today. What the hell have I been doing? I did do I have hell have I been doing? I did do I have hell have I been doing? I did do I have done a little bit of work. Um what I’ve done a little bit of work. Um what I’ve done a little bit of work. Um what I’ve done is so I have all of these done is so I have all of these done is so I have all of these AI agents AI agents AI agents that I’m working on and I’m going to that I’m working on and I’m going to that I’m working on and I’m going to work on that revolve around email. Um, I work on that revolve around email. Um, I work on that revolve around email. Um, I need a lot of examples to to to like need a lot of examples to to to like need a lot of examples to to to like build tests to help me uh get the code build tests to help me uh get the code build tests to help me uh get the code really really bulletproof so it works really really bulletproof so it works really really bulletproof so it works for any and all emails. So I came up for any and all emails. So I came up for any and all emails. So I came up with a strategy where I exported my with a strategy where I exported my with a strategy where I exported my Gmail inbox. Gmail inbox. Gmail inbox. You know, I went to So, Google has this You know, I went to So, Google has this You know, I went to So, Google has this thing called Takeout where you go and thing called Takeout where you go and thing called Takeout where you go and you export all your data. I exported all you export all your data. I exported all you export all your data. I exported all of my email. They have a format called of my email. They have a format called of my email. They have a format called inbox. inbox. inbox. Real creative. Uh, so what I did was I Real creative. Uh, so what I did was I Real creative. Uh, so what I did was I exported that and that was gigabytes. exported that and that was gigabytes. exported that and that was gigabytes. This is uh 20 years of emails like from This is uh 20 years of emails like from This is uh 20 years of emails like from my old original Gmail from like 20 years my old original Gmail from like 20 years my old original Gmail from like 20 years ago. Yes, I’m old. And then I just put ago. Yes, I’m old. And then I just put ago. Yes, I’m old. And then I just put it on my local computer and I wrote a it on my local computer and I wrote a it on my local computer and I wrote a script to script to script to go through it and find like emails like go through it and find like emails like go through it and find like emails like find me uh a not an email but an email find me uh a not an email but an email find me uh a not an email but an email thread. So an email that contains like thread. So an email that contains like thread. So an email that contains like the entire thread. Go find me this. So I the entire thread. Go find me this. So I the entire thread. Go find me this. So I just kind of did a little bit of manual just kind of did a little bit of manual just kind of did a little bit of manual work running a script uh to go find all work running a script uh to go find all work running a script uh to go find all these examples so I could like actually these examples so I could like actually these examples so I could like actually build the code and make it really really build the code and make it really really build the code and make it really really solid. Um, so first I’m solid. Um, so first I’m solid. Um, so first I’m redoing, not redoing, but I’m adding the redoing, not redoing, but I’m adding the redoing, not redoing, but I’m adding the ability to see threads for this agent. ability to see threads for this agent. ability to see threads for this agent. So you’ll be able to like I’m going to So you’ll be able to like I’m going to So you’ll be able to like I’m going to update this demo. This demo sucks. update this demo. This demo sucks. update this demo. This demo sucks. You’ll be able to actually get like, You’ll be able to actually get like, You’ll be able to actually get like, hey, this is a thread. Here are all the hey, this is a thread. Here are all the hey, this is a thread. Here are all the emails in the thread. And get a bunch of emails in the thread. And get a bunch of emails in the thread. And get a bunch of uh like information you want. Like for uh like information you want. Like for uh like information you want. Like for example, each email can have a summary. example, each email can have a summary. example, each email can have a summary. the entire thread could have a summary. the entire thread could have a summary. the entire thread could have a summary. So, I need a lot of So, I need a lot of So, I need a lot of emails to actually test to make sure emails to actually test to make sure emails to actually test to make sure it’s working perfectly. So, that’s what it’s working perfectly. So, that’s what it’s working perfectly. So, that’s what I’ve been doing. Right after that, I’m I’ve been doing. Right after that, I’m I’ve been doing. Right after that, I’m going to pump out this this agent. So, going to pump out this this agent. So, going to pump out this this agent. So, what is this agent going to do? It’s what is this agent going to do? It’s what is this agent going to do? It’s going to go find a signature, extract going to go find a signature, extract going to go find a signature, extract the data. Of course, it’s going to use the data. Of course, it’s going to use the data. Of course, it’s going to use some AI to do that real code, but I need some AI to do that real code, but I need some AI to do that real code, but I need so many examples. So that’s like a so many examples. So that’s like a so many examples. So that’s like a that’s like an perfect example of like that’s like an perfect example of like that’s like an perfect example of like go through like thou tens of thousands go through like thou tens of thousands go through like thou tens of thousands of emails and find one that look like it of emails and find one that look like it of emails and find one that look like it has a signature because the you know the has a signature because the you know the has a signature because the you know the whole shtick with with my agents here whole shtick with with my agents here whole shtick with with my agents here for agents code for agents code for agents code is that it’s kind of a hybrid approach is that it’s kind of a hybrid approach is that it’s kind of a hybrid approach to to agents where it doesn’t try to do to to agents where it doesn’t try to do to to agents where it doesn’t try to do everything with LLM or like a like a everything with LLM or like a like a everything with LLM or like a like a custom model. It does a hybrid approach custom model. It does a hybrid approach custom model. It does a hybrid approach where it smartly uses real traditional where it smartly uses real traditional where it smartly uses real traditional code, hands off like a little bit to an code, hands off like a little bit to an code, hands off like a little bit to an LLM, you know, double checks things with LLM, you know, double checks things with LLM, you know, double checks things with real code. So, the idea is like the real code. So, the idea is like the real code. So, the idea is like the they’re really bulletproof they’re really bulletproof they’re really bulletproof agents that actually really work. They agents that actually really work. They agents that actually really work. They work very well. There’s, you know, work very well. There’s, you know, work very well. There’s, you know, tracking of how well they work. And to tracking of how well they work. And to tracking of how well they work. And to do that, I need like tons of exam. do that, I need like tons of exam. do that, I need like tons of exam. That’s it. Uh, that’s the plan for That’s it. Uh, that’s the plan for That’s it. Uh, that’s the plan for hopefully the rest of the week. As far hopefully the rest of the week. As far hopefully the rest of the week. As far as as as updating this channel, I’m going to go updating this channel, I’m going to go updating this channel, I’m going to go back to trying to do every day. Um, now back to trying to do every day. Um, now back to trying to do every day. Um, now I’m just going to have a bit more I’m just going to have a bit more I’m just going to have a bit more flexibility. And the freelance work is flexibility. And the freelance work is flexibility. And the freelance work is that. So, I’ve had a a full-time gig for that. So, I’ve had a a full-time gig for that. So, I’ve had a a full-time gig for like almost like five months now. That like almost like five months now. That like almost like five months now. That is probably that’s possibly wrapping up is probably that’s possibly wrapping up is probably that’s possibly wrapping up this week. They said there’ll be another this week. They said there’ll be another this week. They said there’ll be another two weeks, but I don’t know. I’m looking two weeks, but I don’t know. I’m looking two weeks, but I don’t know. I’m looking looking iffy. maybe 50/50. looking iffy. maybe 50/50. looking iffy. maybe 50/50. Uh if it continues on, it will be just Uh if it continues on, it will be just Uh if it continues on, it will be just two more weeks past this week and then two more weeks past this week and then two more weeks past this week and then I’ll go on a holiday, go on vacation, I’ll go on a holiday, go on vacation, I’ll go on a holiday, go on vacation, and then I’ll be done with this and then I’ll be done with this and then I’ll be done with this freelance gig. Then I can focus all my freelance gig. Then I can focus all my freelance gig. Then I can focus all my attention onto the business, having attention onto the business, having attention onto the business, having daily updates. But I’m going to start daily updates. But I’m going to start daily updates. But I’m going to start going back to probably five days a week going back to probably five days a week going back to probably five days a week um because I’m going to have a little um because I’m going to have a little um because I’m going to have a little bit more to talk about hopefully is the bit more to talk about hopefully is the bit more to talk about hopefully is the idea. On to my random story for today. idea. On to my random story for today. idea. On to my random story for today. That is my That is my That is my that is my flight here. Um that is my flight here. Um that is my flight here. Um yeah, the flight here yeah, the flight here yeah, the flight here was kind of uneventful, but I like I I was kind of uneventful, but I like I I was kind of uneventful, but I like I I did I hate American Airlines. So I’ve did I hate American Airlines. So I’ve did I hate American Airlines. So I’ve traveled a lot. Um I’ve been all over traveled a lot. Um I’ve been all over traveled a lot. Um I’ve been all over the world. I’ve done hundreds and the world. I’ve done hundreds and the world. I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of flights probably at the and hundreds of flights probably at the and hundreds of flights probably at the and this point in my life. I hate American this point in my life. I hate American this point in my life. I hate American Airlines. It’s my le one of my least Airlines. It’s my le one of my least Airlines. It’s my le one of my least favorite airlines, especially to go favorite airlines, especially to go favorite airlines, especially to go internationally, but the way the times internationally, but the way the times internationally, but the way the times worked, I just kind of had to had to go worked, I just kind of had to had to go worked, I just kind of had to had to go with American Airlines. Seat was so with American Airlines. Seat was so with American Airlines. Seat was so uncomfortable. Um, I picked my own seat uncomfortable. Um, I picked my own seat uncomfortable. Um, I picked my own seat and when I went to the gate to board, and when I went to the gate to board, and when I went to the gate to board, they were like, they called my name and they were like, they called my name and they were like, they called my name and said, “Please, you know, let yourself be said, “Please, you know, let yourself be said, “Please, you know, let yourself be known.” You know, I raised my hand. the known.” You know, I raised my hand. the known.” You know, I raised my hand. the the person at the, you know, at the like the person at the, you know, at the like the person at the, you know, at the like radio thing to talk to everyone radio thing to talk to everyone radio thing to talk to everyone boarding. Oh, okay. They came up to me boarding. Oh, okay. They came up to me boarding. Oh, okay. They came up to me and they said, “Hey, we had to move you. and they said, “Hey, we had to move you. and they said, “Hey, we had to move you. Here’s your new seat.” And I was like, Here’s your new seat.” And I was like, Here’s your new seat.” And I was like, “Oh, are you kidding me?” I “Oh, are you kidding me?” I “Oh, are you kidding me?” I picked out my seat. Why? And the seat picked out my seat. Why? And the seat picked out my seat. Why? And the seat that they put me in was really that they put me in was really that they put me in was really uncomfortable. I mean, it wasn’t like in uncomfortable. I mean, it wasn’t like in uncomfortable. I mean, it wasn’t like in the middle or anything, but it still the middle or anything, but it still the middle or anything, but it still they’re like, “Oh, no. It’s an aisle.” they’re like, “Oh, no. It’s an aisle.” they’re like, “Oh, no. It’s an aisle.” But the seat sucked. It was a red eyee. But the seat sucked. It was a red eyee. But the seat sucked. It was a red eyee. I essentially left at night um from I essentially left at night um from I essentially left at night um from Texas and got here essentially like 5:00 Texas and got here essentially like 5:00 Texas and got here essentially like 5:00 a.m. California time. I slept horribly. a.m. California time. I slept horribly. a.m. California time. I slept horribly. I was on no sleep, so tired. Um pretty I was on no sleep, so tired. Um pretty I was on no sleep, so tired. Um pretty rough. So really frustrating when you rough. So really frustrating when you rough. So really frustrating when you pick your seat, you pay for your seat. pick your seat, you pay for your seat. pick your seat, you pay for your seat. You know, I was supposedly supposed to You know, I was supposedly supposed to You know, I was supposedly supposed to have extra leg room. This new seat they have extra leg room. This new seat they have extra leg room. This new seat they put me in, there was no extra leg room. put me in, there was no extra leg room. put me in, there was no extra leg room. I was pretty upset. Um I survived. I’m I was pretty upset. Um I survived. I’m I was pretty upset. Um I survived. I’m here. So, what is next? I don’t know. here. So, what is next? I don’t know. here. So, what is next? I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I have I’m going We’ll see what happens. I have I’m going We’ll see what happens. I have I’m going to probably in two weeks essentially to probably in two weeks essentially to probably in two weeks essentially have no job. I’m like an immigrant have no job. I’m like an immigrant have no job. I’m like an immigrant essentially. I’m new to the UK. I’m not essentially. I’m new to the UK. I’m not essentially. I’m new to the UK. I’m not I’ I’ve spent a year and a half here in I’ I’ve spent a year and a half here in I’ I’ve spent a year and a half here in the last few years, but I wasn’t like a the last few years, but I wasn’t like a the last few years, but I wasn’t like a legal resident. So, now I’m a legal legal resident. So, now I’m a legal legal resident. So, now I’m a legal resident. I can get a job. I’m going to resident. I can get a job. I’m going to resident. I can get a job. I’m going to have no job. I need to get the business have no job. I need to get the business have no job. I need to get the business going. So, the plan is to roll off this going. So, the plan is to roll off this going. So, the plan is to roll off this freelance gig. I I’ll still get paid for freelance gig. I I’ll still get paid for freelance gig. I I’ll still get paid for like a month at least and hit the ground like a month at least and hit the ground like a month at least and hit the ground running, start networking, start running, start networking, start running, start networking, start hustling, try to get like put all my hustling, try to get like put all my hustling, try to get like put all my attention on this and and get something attention on this and and get something attention on this and and get something going. I need like $100, 100 pounds a going. I need like $100, 100 pounds a going. I need like $100, 100 pounds a month, anything. Uh I got to figure out month, anything. Uh I got to figure out month, anything. Uh I got to figure out what people really need. I got to find what people really need. I got to find what people really need. I got to find the product market fit. I got to get the the product market fit. I got to get the the product market fit. I got to get the business going because I’m soon going to business going because I’m soon going to business going because I’m soon going to have no job and I’ll be tapping into my have no job and I’ll be tapping into my have no job and I’ll be tapping into my savings. savings. savings. So, it’s go time. Exciting. I’m So, it’s go time. Exciting. I’m So, it’s go time. Exciting. I’m personally excited. I’m so happy to be personally excited. I’m so happy to be personally excited. I’m so happy to be in a new environment. I’m in the heart in a new environment. I’m in the heart in a new environment. I’m in the heart of it. Like, I’m in I’m in what would be of it. Like, I’m in I’m in what would be of it. Like, I’m in I’m in what would be like Manhattan if this was New York. like Manhattan if this was New York. like Manhattan if this was New York. Like, in the thick of it, really. It’s Like, in the thick of it, really. It’s Like, in the thick of it, really. It’s called zone one. So, if you’re familiar called zone one. So, if you’re familiar called zone one. So, if you’re familiar with London, it’s kind of like zone one, with London, it’s kind of like zone one, with London, it’s kind of like zone one, zone 2, zone 3. Everything zone 2, zone 3. Everything zone 2, zone 3. Everything within a circle of like a essentially a within a circle of like a essentially a within a circle of like a essentially a freeway is like L proper London. Um, I’m freeway is like L proper London. Um, I’m freeway is like L proper London. Um, I’m in zone one, so I’m like really really in zone one, so I’m like really really in zone one, so I’m like really really on the heart of it. Pretty close to the on the heart of it. Pretty close to the on the heart of it. Pretty close to the financial area, the old financial area. financial area, the old financial area. financial area, the old financial area. Yeah, different environment. More much Yeah, different environment. More much Yeah, different environment. More much more energetic. It’s so much louder than more energetic. It’s so much louder than more energetic. It’s so much louder than what I’m used to back in California. The what I’m used to back in California. The what I’m used to back in California. The first two nights I was like, “Oh my god, first two nights I was like, “Oh my god, first two nights I was like, “Oh my god, I forgot how loud it is here. This is I forgot how loud it is here. This is I forgot how loud it is here. This is crazy. It feels the vibe and noise and crazy. It feels the vibe and noise and crazy. It feels the vibe and noise and energy is so much different. So, it’s go energy is so much different. So, it’s go energy is so much different. So, it’s go time. I have to make this work. And if time. I have to make this work. And if time. I have to make this work. And if this doesn’t work, I’m going to pivot to this doesn’t work, I’m going to pivot to this doesn’t work, I’m going to pivot to something else.” Like, but I have to something else.” Like, but I have to something else.” Like, but I have to make the business work. Uh this is my make the business work. Uh this is my make the business work. Uh this is my lifelong dream to have a profitable lifelong dream to have a profitable lifelong dream to have a profitable business. So I’m going to share that business. So I’m going to share that business. So I’m going to share that journey here. It’s I feel like it’s journey here. It’s I feel like it’s journey here. It’s I feel like it’s really kind of the whole thing is being really kind of the whole thing is being really kind of the whole thing is being re rebooted. So thank you if you’ve re rebooted. So thank you if you’ve re rebooted. So thank you if you’ve watched this far. I really really watched this far. I really really watched this far. I really really appreciate it. A lot more exciting stuff appreciate it. A lot more exciting stuff appreciate it. A lot more exciting stuff to come. See you tomorrow.
