Have you seen other production pros build their own bespoke apps with AI tools to solve unique problems? I wonder what the general consensus is in the industry outside of this community.

27:17I've put a link in the chat. If you are in there, that's another example why you want to be in the chat. We post really useful links. So ohgshop.com, you will find a link there to buy the Tumblr and that will support the show. All right, Courtney, what do we got next? next. All right. Next one comes in from you, Mr. Alexander Knight in Port Coquitlam,

27:39British Columbia. Have you seen other production pros build their own bespoke apps with AI tools to solve unique problems? I wonder what the general consensus is in the industry outside of our community. I'm very curious about this because, you know, this show is so focused on what people are doing here. But, you know, it seems like people are really divided and, you know,

28:05there's half of the people that absolutely are opposed to anything AI and then the other half are absolutely all in on it. So what do you think, Courtney, is going on? Yeah, I see a lot of YouTubers and one in particular I follow is Dave Plummer, who was one of the original programmers of Windows. He wrote the Task Manager. and he now has a new program that he wrote using AI

28:31called Task Manager OG or TMOG. If you go to tmog.org, you'll find it. And this is cool because, of course, Task Manager is part of Windows and the old one hasn't been updated since I think Windows 3.1 was written or at least Windows XP. But now Task Manager is now available on Unix, the Mac OS, Linux, Linux and it's quite cool. For those of you that are used to looking at the old one, this is what

29:02the new one looks like. And it monitors in real time all the aspects of your computer. He makes a professional version. This is the free version. And over here, the features are aligned and here's the free things over here on the left. And then the paid version, you get these additional features. But in the free version, you get to see all the processes running this great little graph that changes resolution as it goes from right to the left.

29:30So it shows you over time, you know, something that is transitory. You know, like, why did my CPU go to 100% there for about five minutes? And then you can track it down using the list of programs and utilization of the CPU or the GPU. So you have these real-time graphs of CPU, GPU, memory usage, and temperatures so that you can see what is causing my computer to slow down.

29:58So that's kind of cool. And, of course, you have all these other charts. You can map the usage on all the cores on your computers, on all your processors. And, of course, it works across all of the Intel and the M-series chips on the Apple. and, of course, across Windows and Linux as well, which is quite cool. He also has his last video.

30:23He has a bunch of PDP-11s, and he was trying to figure out how to add RAM boards to them, which are heinously expensive these days, even for like a 2-meg board or a 5-meg board, because on a PDP-11, those boards haven't been produced in many years. So he set Claude Code out to design a new memory board, which he did, and he has one, the prototype's in now.

30:51So it designed the board for him, the layout, and for a memory board, which he can produce and manufacture cheaper than buying one. So I have seen a lot of people that are doing vibe coding for their own personal use and for vertical market applications and so on. In the 3D printing world as well, a lot of people are writing a lot of code to do 3D conversion of objects to 3D objects, etc.

31:24Yeah, I did see his task manager app and it looks really cool on Mac OS and Windows. Windows, and I have to say, it looks and seems more functional and better in every way than the built-in, you know, activity modern or Mac OS, and it's certainly better. The one in Windows 11 is not bad. I wouldn't call it bad, but his provides a lot more information, and it just looks cooler.
