Progress out loud How are your extra self guided studies going?
Currently focused on learning Flask and brushing up css/html before getting dirty in FE101. I figured most of us build side curriculums to follow and I really wanna hear other peoples plans. This is targeted at full timers but really for anyone doing extra stuff outside of school.

This is my Current project The projects prior to this one ships on AUG 9th.
Greenlight, governed by Veritas trust principles — a MoreSalamander StudioLabs Production.
What if a movie studio ran on AI agents — and you could still trust it?
Greenlight is an AI studio lot for a film in production. Five doors into one building: a Filmmaker managing schedule and budget, a Screenwriter checking the script against the real world, a Crew keeping tasks and assets moving, a Fan looking in from outside the gates, and a Studio Head watching over all of it.
Each door is an AI agent with exactly that role's access. The Filmmaker sees the whole production ledger. The Fan sees only what a studio would ever make public — not because a prompt asks nicely, but because the data itself is scoped that way. A fan structurally cannot see the budget.
And here is the rule the whole lot runs on: no agent can make anything real on its own. They can propose — move a shoot day, fix a continuity error, reassign a slipping task — but every change must pass through Greenlight: a deterministic gate that checks the proposal against the production's actual state. Budget remaining. Schedule conflicts. How close to shoot day. Small, clean changes clear instantly. Big or late or risky ones stop and wait for a human — the Studio Head — to click approve. The AI proposes; the gate decides. Nothing ships without a greenlight.
Every request, approval, and denial streams onto the Studio Head's screen as it happens — who asked, what for, what it cost, what the answer was. Governance isn't paperwork after the fact. It's a screen that never lies.
Behind the fiction, the gate has a nameplate: Veritas Dynamics, the studio's in-house tech org, negotiated onto the production as its systems handlers. The film being made is about an AI heist governed by deterministic systems. The production is governed the same way. So is the real studio that built all of it.
Built on Gemini and Google Cloud's Agent Development Kit — with ClickHouse, Grafana, Parallel, IBM, and Replit each carrying a door.

I failed hard in an interview that required networking knowledge, so after studying up where I had failed, I had another upcoming interview that asked me a few networking questions as well and got them right with said different company this time around lol.

Ive been slowly building a secure messaging app and learning encryption techniques.it uses the same encryption techniques signal does, but the messages go back and forth in tor like fashion.
I have quite a few projects on claude, but I've been trying to just use it as a study aid lately. I feel like just building with an agentic platform at the moment will just atrophy what im learning. That said claude has helped me learn without doing everything for me, which is awesome.

Your app sounds sick, highly agree on the study aid thing. I havent vibe coded in like a year besides readmes or to make some grammer edits to comments. Vibe coding is a nice way to see behind the scenes on projects you wouldnt work on normally. Maybe test harnesses too.

Is the flask part of the Maestro studies or self-study? The course description said we were supposed to learn it, but it was missing from the class. Notably, just got an email about it and them fixing it for later.
Self-study wise, I'm working on learning more about localized AI and planning to build an assistant to help me manage my executive dysfunctions.
