When GitHub announced their For the Love of Code summer hackathon, I knew exactly what they meant. Sometimes the best projects aren’t born from business requirements or feature requests, they come from that spark of “wouldn’t it be cool if…” that every developer knows.

The Ultimate Answer to Golf Score Tracking Needs

Today, I had one of those perfect coding sessions that reminded me why I fell in love with development in the first place. Working alongside Claude Sonnet 4 AI, I built and fine-tuned 🏌️‍♂️Par-Tracker 42 🤖, a web-based golf handicap calculator that embodies everything the “For the Love of Code” hackathon celebrates.

Last week, I finally attended my first #AECTechCon on May 7 and 8 at the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, MO, just outside St. Louis. This event had been on my radar for a while, and it did not disappoint. It offered a solid mix of learning and knowledge sharing around AEC tech, plus a strong expo hall. The usual suspects were there, along with some standout locals and a few new-to-me gems (you really need to check out iPlanTables).

The keynotes were strong, the cornhole tournament was chaotic in the best way, and the schedule left room to network or catch your breath after a long day of sessions, booth duty, or both.

Keep reading for a look at my session from the conference and why I think this one belongs on your 2026 must-attend list.

100 Days of AI – Phase 3 Recap

The BIMsider

As we dive into the third phase of the #100DaysOfAI challenge, things are getting interesting! We’re building on the strong AI foundations and exploring cool use cases from earlier stages. This phase is all about putting our new AI skills to the test on “real-world” problems and pushing the limits of what we can do with the tech we’ve gotten the hang of. Come along as I chat about the adventures and breakthroughs in this final stretch, where we’re turning theory into practice and learning into some seriously cool innovation.
