My AI Agent is getting blocked (Daylight Savings) | Build in public E73

all right this is my daily update for my all right this is my daily update for my all right this is my daily update for my build and public log it’s March 10th 2025 yeah it’s 2025 yeah it’s 2025 yeah it’s been it’s been rough the last few days I been it’s been rough the last few days I been it’s been rough the last few days I ended up working a lot this weekend like ended up working a lot this weekend like ended up working a lot this weekend like a lot a a lot a a lot a lot oh I got pretty stuck on a few lot oh I got pretty stuck on a few lot oh I got pretty stuck on a few things things things for agents code trying to automate this for agents code trying to automate this for agents code trying to automate this site um so let’s jump into it all right site um so let’s jump into it all right site um so let’s jump into it all right so the first thing I got blocked by was so the first thing I got blocked by was so the first thing I got blocked by was for for for some even now I still don’t know why some even now I still don’t know why some even now I still don’t know why everything is containerized with Docker everything is containerized with Docker everything is containerized with Docker and it would you know add the and it would you know add the and it would you know add the dependencies back in a weird way because dependencies back in a weird way because dependencies back in a weird way because it I’m using what’s called NYX pack it’s it I’m using what’s called NYX pack it’s it I’m using what’s called NYX pack it’s pretty cool um this is pretty cool um this is pretty cool um this is from Railway yeah so uh what is NI pack from Railway yeah so uh what is NI pack from Railway yeah so uh what is NI pack this is a this is where you can you this is a this is where you can you this is a this is where you can you don’t have to build a Docker file it don’t have to build a Docker file it don’t have to build a Docker file it like uses all sorts of magic to figure like uses all sorts of magic to figure like uses all sorts of magic to figure out what is your project just by like out what is your project just by like out what is your project just by like looking at the the the code and you looking at the the the code and you looking at the the the code and you don’t have to build a custom Docker file don’t have to build a custom Docker file don’t have to build a custom Docker file and it just builds a Docker image and and it just builds a Docker image and and it just builds a Docker image and and you’re done it’s it’s kind of like a and you’re done it’s it’s kind of like a and you’re done it’s it’s kind of like a lot of magic I don’t fully get how it lot of magic I don’t fully get how it lot of magic I don’t fully get how it works it’s it’s all in Rust it’s works it’s it’s all in Rust it’s works it’s it’s all in Rust it’s it’s cool until point so that turned out it’s cool until point so that turned out it’s cool until point so that turned out to be a huge problem because I was to be a huge problem because I was to be a huge problem because I was trying I needed dependencies installed trying I needed dependencies installed trying I needed dependencies installed in a way that this was not working and I in a way that this was not working and I in a way that this was not working and I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and I broke down and I had to just tried and I broke down and I had to just tried and I broke down and I had to just build a custom Docker file for the whole build a custom Docker file for the whole build a custom Docker file for the whole for the whole API service um I just for the whole API service um I just for the whole API service um I just needed that fine Grandin control of like needed that fine Grandin control of like needed that fine Grandin control of like here is exactly how you build this image here is exactly how you build this image here is exactly how you build this image here’s how you set it up here’s how you set it up here’s how you set it up so I spent a lot of time getting I spent so I spent a lot of time getting I spent so I spent a lot of time getting I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what a lot of time trying to figure out what a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on and then I spent a bunch of was going on and then I spent a bunch of was going on and then I spent a bunch of time tearing that out and building a time tearing that out and building a time tearing that out and building a Docker file um I should have just did it Docker file um I should have just did it Docker file um I should have just did it the right the right the right way so that took up a like many many way so that took up a like many many way so that took up a like many many many hours and many hours and many hours and then and then once I got it then and then once I got it then and then once I got it working I this is so working I this is so working I this is so frustrating I’m getting I’m getting my frustrating I’m getting I’m getting my frustrating I’m getting I’m getting my YouTube agent that I built is getting YouTube agent that I built is getting YouTube agent that I built is getting blocked by Google blocked by Google blocked by Google you know you’re

can you know use like a proxy and get know use like a proxy and get know use like a proxy and get around I I you know ideally get around around I I you know ideally get around around I I you know ideally get around these these blocks I wasted a lot of these these blocks I wasted a lot of these these blocks I wasted a lot of time on that that turned out to be I time on that that turned out to be I time on that that turned out to be I think their service then I tried to think their service then I tried to think their service then I tried to switch to a different service and I blew switch to a different service and I blew switch to a different service and I blew through all my free credits and um I through all my free credits and um I through all my free credits and um I don’t know what the hell’s going on I don’t know what the hell’s going on I don’t know what the hell’s going on I don’t know why it’s not working um so don’t know why it’s not working um so don’t know why it’s not

me an embarrassing don’t know it took me an embarrassing long time to figure it out I think it long time to figure it out I think it long time to figure it out I think it took like two to five minutes or took like two to five minutes or took like two to five minutes or something I was just lost in the something I was just lost in the something I was just lost in the Twilight Twilight Twilight Zone uh so for example I talked to you Zone uh so for example I talked to you Zone uh so for example I talked to you know my my partner in London England now know my my partner in London England now know my my partner in London England now every everything’s been shifted by an every everything’s been shifted by an every everything’s been shifted by an hour for like a week or two it’s it’s hour for like a week or two it’s it’s hour for like a week or two it’s it’s it’s pain it sucks for you International it’s pain it sucks for you International it’s pain it sucks for you International folks out there I’m sure you sure you folks out there I’m sure you sure you folks out there I’m sure you sure you know the feeling but for you for the know the feeling but for you for the know the feeling but for you for the Americans watching yeah it’s Americans watching yeah it’s Americans watching yeah it’s uh be aware be aware that if you’re uh be aware be aware that if you’re uh be aware be aware that if you’re scheduling a um meetings at different scheduling a um meetings at different scheduling a um meetings at different time zones and stuff so and the really time zones and stuff so and the really time zones and stuff so and the really tricky bit is when you work on tricky bit is when you work on tricky bit is when you work on software for people in different time software for people in different time software for people in different time zones and then that happens holy zones and then that happens holy zones and then that happens holy like uh like uh like uh time I guess it’s all relative in the time I guess it’s all relative in the time I guess it’s all relative in the end right all right that’s all I got for end right all right that’s all I got for end right all right that’s
