So not a simple decision as to whether to move forward or not. 😬
I also wouldn’t be surprised to see people claiming I am just stealing others peoples work since was AI generated, even if the delivery mechanism is quite different to the norm.
I genuinely think it could become a valuable resource for the Python community, especially since the plan is to build on it further, but with AI everything is just too crazy these days. It could just be a wasted effort since people will just use AI anyway, with no one wanting to learn how to do stuff themselves anymore.
One trepidation I have is that the project has leaned heavily on AI and no way I would ever have attempted it without as it would have been way too much work. So risk is that people will just label it as more AI slop and not worthy of attention. Sure AI may have only taken a few hours to do initial generation of the content but I have then spent over a week reviewing and cleaning it up. The infrastructure work required to host it has also been years in the making.
I got a new project I could finally make public and release but I don’t know if I should. Ahh imposter syndrome my old friend, it has been so long since I have seen you. 😒
I've been slop mopping all day. I'm tired. 😫
@grahamdumpleton oh man I'm definitely going to start calling it "Prompt Flu"
Using AI agent skills is making me realise: I should create a project-local skill for each of my open source projects that captures all the weird context about why things were done certain ways. So much of this knowledge never makes it into comments. Then I could just ask about past decisions, or the AI could catch me before I make breaking changes when I forget the reasoning.
I've been experimenting with using the Claude browser extension to review Educates workshops. Rather than just checking the source files, it navigates the workshop in the browser like a real user, clicking through instructions and triggering actions. Turns out it gives more direct feedback than most human reviewers do.

Reviewing workshops with AI - Graham Dumpleton
Having the Claude browser extension review an Educates workshop as a real user would.
Educates is an open source, self-hosted platform for running interactive training workshops on Kubernetes. No SaaS dependency. You deploy it on your own infrastructure.
New post walks through local setup with Kind and deploying a workshop. Three CLI commands: create-cluster, publish-workshop, deploy-workshop.

Deploying Educates yourself - Graham Dumpleton
Educates is open source, not a SaaS. Deploy it yourself, wherever you want.
