Starting Google's AI Cert, Expanding hck_GPT

Your questions are literally becoming features.

By Marcin Firmuga·2026-05-04·2 min read·Monday Grind Blueprint #6

Today I start Google's Skills of Tomorrow 3.0 (AI) — my first structured tech education since tech school in 2023.

For the past 10 months I've learned everything the hard way: late-night debugging, burning through docs, shipping code that sometimes broke in spectacular ways. Today I'm adding a new layer to that.

PC Workman this week

  1. hck_GPT intent expansion. Last week I asked what you'd ask an AI inside your system monitor — "which process is draining my battery?", "what changed since yesterday?", "is it safe to disable this?" All going into the parser this week. Your questions are literally becoming features.
  2. DeepMonitor table — an HWMonitor-style parameter view built into the app: CPU, GPU, RAM, voltages, temperatures, with current/avg/min/max and persistence, so you track values over days, not just this session.

GuideAI

The payment gateway — the one I keep postponing. Not this week. Frontend works, backend works, Supabase is wired; after payday I'm buying Claude API credits and the chatbot gets a real brain. This is the week GuideAI stops being "that other project I'll get to eventually."

Schedule: Żabka shifts in between, the Google course in the gaps, code everywhere else. Friday will tell the truth.

What are you learning this week?
