Make AI your quizmaster, planner, and note-taker
Welcome to edition #34 of the We ❤️ Open Source newsletter!
This week we’re testing how AI can help you take better notes, plan lessons, and build stronger customer experiences, while keeping the human touch that matters most.
We're also featuring Nick Taylor on the podcast with tips on balancing open source learning and AI productivity hacks, plus a clever developer trick: Turn your AI assistant into a quizmaster to test your knowledge. As always, our goal is to raise your open source IQ and share the stories of the people shaping the open source world—through content made and curated by real humans. 🙂
