Would love to hear what you'd build with it
New Reading Notes 🧠 c5m.ca/RN-686
Ralph loops, AI coding tips, Docker sandboxes, OSS tools, and some excellent podcasts to level up your week
Have a nice week!
We’re letting AI answer business questions…
But we don’t require proof?
At Confoo, I’ll build an agentic research assistant that searches multiple sources and returns grounded, traceable answers.
Because “trust me bro” isn’t an architecture

Are we overcomplicating AI integration?
Do we really need:
- An SDK?
- Extensions?
- An Agent Framework?
- Or just HttpClient?
What’s your current approach?
Next week I’ll be at confoo.ca (Feb 25–27) in Montreal presenting:

Any senior .NET devs looking for a new gig? We’ve got openings doing some pretty impactful stuff.
My DMs are open.
Not everything needs to be about code!
I love #low-code / no-code tools, and #n8n is definitely one of my favorites in #automation I want to create advanced and custom nodes, but before I can run, I need to learn how to walk 👉 c5m.ca/n8n-start
This post documents what actually worked for me
Good Monday! Typed languages, AI everywhere, a self-hosted model registry, and even data-driven wardrobe experiments. This week’s reads took some fun turns.

Here different #readingnotes which kept my interest during the week c5m.ca/RN-676 about AI, .NET, container & more
I just published a post c5m.ca/termTools that shares how I built a little scripts accessible from any terminal. Now you can ask AI with "?"
Or let it do a web research with "??"
The project is open source of course!
no GUI, no heavy clients, no friction
Imagine just typing "?" and your question in any terminal
the moment it pops into your head, and getting the answer right away youtu.be/nugPkWLUOZQ
