The BIG REASON to build a PAAS is to avoid being a mere spectator passively consuming content and to instead actively engage in intelligence gathering … dogfooding the toolchain and workflow to accomplish this and learning how to do it is an example of what it means to stop being a spectator and actively engage in AI-assisted intelligence gathering.

50-Day Personal Assistant Agentic System (PAAS) Development Study Plan

This 50-day study plan was designed [with AI assistance of course] to guide anyone [but especially me] through learning all the necessary components to build an advanced intelligence gathering platform. Each day consists of 6 hours of focused work, divided into a morning session theoretical learning with an afternoon session of practical application. The plan incorporates modern Rust-based technologies including Tauri, Svelte, Servo/Verso, and Jujutsu for building efficient, secure, and maintainable components.

Daily Resources Augment The Program Of Study With Serindiptious Learning

Much of this is preparation or preparing to succeed. Sure, AFTER are ready to start the process, you will probably want to kinda sorta stick to the Program of Study to progressively build your skills and achieve your PAAS Development objective, but never underestimate how much you can learn by just frequenting different key learning resources on a daily basis. For example – let’s say that you really need a break or just want some fresh ideas, first try working in some exercise. If you still need a break, then instead of looking toward social media or the news for your dose of distraction, try perusing the following:

  • Prioritize engagement with increasingly important technology communities while strategically withdrawing from declining networks; focus on identifying emerging technological movements poised for growth. The guiding principle—”always be hunting the next game“—requires looking beyond conventional technology ecosystems. Effective intelligence gathering necessitates regular participation in established communities including HuggingFace forums, Rust user forums, Tauri Discord, Svelte Discord, Learn AI Together Discord and leading AI engineering Discord servers. Supplement this foundation by monitoring GitHub repository discussions, analyzing HackerNews YCombinator job listings to identify in-demand skills, and tracking YCombinator CoFounder Matching alongside similar startup ecosystem platforms to gauge market trends. The community ecosystem supporting this PAAS intelligence platform merits dedicated examination. While maintaining consistent engagement with established technology communities, deliberately exploring emerging technologies and their developing communities provides sustainable competitive intelligence.

  • Papers: Routinely peruse the latest research on agent systems, LLMs, information retrieval, and various repositories on Rust, , and GitHub reposotiories searchs for relevant Rust news/books such as LangDB’s AI Gateway, Peroxide, or the Rust Performance Optimization Book

  • Develop And Impove Strategic Documentation Analysis Discipline: Implement and improve your methodical speedreading discipline to efficiently process extensive technical documentation across foundational technologies: LangChain, HuggingFace, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, RunPod, VAST AI, ThunderCompute, MCP, A2A, Tauri, Rust, Svelte, Jujutsu, and additional relevant technologies encountered during development. Enhance your documentation processing or speedreading capacity through deliberate practice and progressive exposure to complex technical content. While AI assistants provide valuable support in locating specific information, developing a comprehensive mental model of these technological ecosystems enables you to craft more effective queries and better contextualize AI-generated responses.

  • Cultivate Advanced Methods for Identifying Consensus Technical References: Establish systematic approaches to discovering resources consistently recognized as authoritative by multiple experts, building a collection including “Building LLM-powered Applications”, “Designing Data-Intensive Applications”, “The Rust Programming Book”, “Tauri Documentation”, and “Tauri App With SvelteKit”. Actively engage with specialized technical communities and forums where practitioners exchange recommendations, identifying resources that receive consistent endorsements across multiple independent discussions. Monitor content from recognized thought leaders and subject matter experts across blogs, social media, and presentations, noting patterns in their references and recommended reading lists. Analyze citation patterns and bibliographies in trusted technical materials, identifying resources that appear consistently across multiple authoritative works to reveal consensus reference materials.

  • Develop Your Own Comprehensive Autodidactic Frameworks Through Strategic Analysis of The Most Elite Educational Resources: Systematically evaluate industry-leading courses such as Rust for JavaScript Developers, Svelte Tutorial, Fast.ai, and DeepLearning.AI LLM specialization to extract optimal content structuring and pedagogical approaches. Enhance curriculum development by conducting focused searches for emerging training methodologies or analyzing high-growth startup ecosystems through resources like Pitchbook’s Unicorn Tracker to identify market-validated skill sets and venture capital investment patterns. Maximize learning effectiveness by conducting objective analysis of your historical performance across different instructional formats, identifying specific instances where visual, interactive, or conceptual approaches yielded superior outcomes. Implement structured experimentation with varied learning modalities to quantify effectiveness and systematically incorporate highest-performing approaches into your educational framework. Enhance knowledge acquisition by establishing strategic engagement with specialized online communities where collective expertise can validate understanding and highlight critical adjustments to your learning path. Develop consistent participation routines across relevant platforms like specialized subreddits, Stack Overflow, and Discord channels to receive implementation feedback and maintain awareness of evolving tools and methodologies. Consolidate theoretical understanding through deliberate development of applied projects that demonstrate practical implementation capabilities while addressing authentic industry challenges. Structure your project portfolio to showcase progressive mastery across increasingly complex scenarios, creating compelling evidence of your capabilities while reinforcing conceptual knowledge through practical application.

Outsource Your Big Compute needs

Regardless of whether it is for your work [unless you work as a hdw admin in IT services and would benefit from a home lab], your ventures or side-hustles and any startup that you are contemplating. There are numerous reasons:

  • Outsourcing compute needs instead of purchasing and managing hardware WILL save time, energy, and money

  • This approach teaches extremely valuable and timely lessons about how economic ecosystems have evolve for today’s needs.

  • Helps you learn the principles. especially for computing needs. Default to service-based consumption until you can demonstrate with financial precision why ownership creates superior economic value. Only transition to ownership when you can articulate and show specific, quantifiable advantages that overcome the flexibility and scalability benefits of renting. The most successful organizations operate with this discipline rigorously – the winners defer ownership until comprehensive understanding justifies the commitment; suckers and fools buy cheap, obsolete crap for more than it’s worth to save money.

Investigate what is going with alternatives such as ThunderCompute, ie don’t just understand their value proposition for the customers vs their competitors, but also understand something about their business model and how they can deliver that value proposition.

  • GPU virtualization achieving up to 80% cost savings ($0.92/hour for A100 GPUs vs $3.21/hour on AWS)
