Lesson of the dayCRS-06 · 10 min

Set Up Cowork

From Claude Cowork: AI for Everyday Work · Meet Your AI Coworker. Get Cowork running on your machine, give it a workspace folder, and verify it can actually work.

Term of the day01

Perplexity

How confused the model is

The exponential of the average cross-entropy loss. Lower is better. A perplexity of 10 means the model is as uncertain as if it were choosing uniformly among 10 tokens at each step.

App check of the day02

Firebase

🔴 Not really. Google's app backend — realtime database, auth, hosting, and functions. — can you vibe code it in multi-day (and you inherit the ops)?

Prompt of the day03

Build a portfolio site

Build my portfolio site as a static Next.js app. Content (real, included below): identity line, bio paragraph, three case studies (each: title, problem, what I did, outcome), and contact links — case studies as markdown files in /content. Aesthetic direction: [name a specific direction + one reference site]. Requirements: semantic HTML, responsive, dark mode following system, real meta/OG tags with a generated OG image, sitemap, and a Lighthouse-100 target (image optimization, no layout shift). No contact form — mailto and socials only. Deployable to Vercel. [paste your content]
Game of the day04

🔄 Loop Order

The steps are scrambled. Drag them into the right sequence — the agentic loop, a red→green fix, a safe refactor. Get the whole run clean for the badge. 4 puzzles. Clear it for XP — flawless runs earn a badge.
