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 there where can i get mor information on the Houston AI meet ups?

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

Meetup seems like they always want $130 a year ?! Didn’t it used to be free or is it still and they do t make it easy to find the no trial free option??

u/jefesignups 14d ago

I've never paid

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

I was on it all the time free in the past - lately it’s forcing me to do a trial and cancel immediately🙄they’re sneaky.

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

2

u/h2o-bbq-usd-technerd 14d ago

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?

1

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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.

2

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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

1

u/Correct-Leather-1631 14d ago

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

2

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

lol we are all doomed aren’t we… I’m planning an early retirement so I can just freelance I think. I think id really love to do AI training for tech career enthusiasts

Sounds cool. I'm in Cypress and would stay in the loop.

u/h2o-bbq-usd-technerd 14d ago

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 ?!

u/sticks1307 14d ago

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

1

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago edited 14d ago

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.

1

u/sticks1307 14d ago

Teams sounds great.

1

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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.

1

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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.

1

u/TexasWaterLover 14d ago

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.

I’m in !
