    1. 3rd-year CompE student in India, AI-focused, one semester before placement prep- what companies should I target for a strong AI role?
    2. Looking for advice on how to move faster with LLM coding
    3. Built a context garbage collector for LLM agents with Jev - is this actually useful, or am I solving a problem nobody has?

    1. Built an AI Inbox Triage using Jev
    2. I built a shared chessboard where everyone plays one game against Jev - every legal move is a typed option, so illegal moves are impossible

    1. I built a visual editor for Jev workflows that turns conversations into regression tests
    2. JEV is making me realize just how bad LLMs are at citations
    3. FlexViz: an agent-native data viz / exploration library -> the agent follows along your analysis with structured state, not a screenshot
