AI for Developers — Jesse Freeman’s Second Brain
I’m **Jesse Freeman, founder of BFreeLabs, and this is my personal AI research wiki: a living knowledge base focused on AI tools, techniques, and workflows for developers.
I built this after watching Nate Herk’s video on Andrej Karpathy’s LLM Wiki idea — the concept of using an LLM to maintain a structured, interlinked wiki instead of relying on chat history or RAG. Every page here is written and cross-referenced by Claude Code from source material I collect. I add the sources, Claude does the filing.
New content appears as I read, watch, and research. The site updates automatically.
