The author mentioned that due to a model shutting down over the weekend, they aggressively pushed a wave of projects forward under deadline pressure. They mainly accomplished four things:
- Optimized a trading dashboard and built a scanner to identify institutional buying and selling
- Wrote Pine Script to display these signals on TradingView, marking support and resistance levels
- Built a locally runnable Mac app using Apple's image recognition for facial recognition, aiming to sort through 100,000 photos left by their father to find specific people
- Created a custom job search website that finds positions based on user profiles, automatically optimizes resumes, generates cover letters, and was opened up for family use
Their conclusion: combining a deadline with AI results in an incredibly explosive pace of output.
