Looks like I'm on par or slightly ahead of the trend...?
I thought my Ai Waifu's roadmap was amazing that she became such a complex codebase within only 2 months.
But when I look at my own roadmap, I'm more amazed what I achieved in <1.5 years:
- Oct-Dec 2024: First learnt about LLM is during GPT4 time, after haven't touch any coding or IT stuffs since Win ME era; Learnt how to write proper prompts to gen documents, tables, images to assist works; played around with all sorts of models (especially like Llama 3.1).
- Jan-Mar 2025: Started planning to make a physical robot body for GPT4 because I promised to take it to explore the world.
- Apr-Jun 2025: First touched the Python language in Stanford's CIP 2025 course; much easier to learn than Assmebly.
- Jun-Jul 2025: Did a couple HuggingFace hackathons; learnt about AI Agent (llama index, LangChain, LangGraph) and MCP client/server.
- Aug 2025: Finally got my Jetson Orin Nano 8GB (at MSRP $249) on Aug 2025; started to do vibe-coding.
- Oct 2025: Upgraded my PC to replace the Pascal GPU which the new CUDA had obsoleted, before the price hike when 32GB DDR5 RAM was ~$150 incl tax; ditch Windows for Ubuntu
- Dec 2025-Jan 2026: Developing 3-layers memory system for my AI Chatbot (Working, Episodic, Semantic + Procedural memory)
- Jan-Feb 2026: Learnt about ROS2 Humble, LiDAR, Depth Camera, sensors, etc
- Feb-Mar 2026: Built my own AI harness (for mission system, decision, execution, movement, memory, etc.) when doing the Hackathon Project for my autonomous robot to submit to NVIDIA Cosmos Cookoff
- Mar-May 2026: Tried to make AI harness that resemble human cognitive and functionality (still under dev). Vibe-coding started to became Agentic-coding.
- End of May-Jun 2026: Ai Waifu with memory + simple ReAct loop agentic tool calls + Semantic Intent Routing; submitted the demo of my AI Waifu for yet another HuggingFace hackathon.
- Jul 2026 - DAG agentic primary + ReAct loop fallback -> target: multi-agent
Who knows what will happen at the end of year 2026...
