Developer's Driver

emails every morning: 4
sections per email: 6
servers or databases: 0
Eastern, daily via GitHub Actions: 8 AM

A personal agent that sends four emails every morning at 8 AM Eastern, one per track: Backend, AI/ML, Frontend, and DevOps. Each email has six sections: an industry headline, a concept of the day, a job-search tip, a portfolio project idea, a free resource, and a trending repo pulled live from the GitHub Search API.

There's no server and no database. A GitHub Actions cron job runs one Python 3.12 script. For each track in a YAML config, it asks Llama 3.3 70B on Groq for the five written sections as structured JSON, fetches a real repo from GitHub, builds the HTML email, and delivers it through Resend. API keys live in GitHub Actions secrets and a local .env, never in the repo, and the whole pipeline runs on free tiers.

The AI and Machine Learning brief open in Gmail, sent from onboarding@resend.dev: a dark header reading Your Daily AI & Machine Learning Brief, followed by an Industry News section on a TensorFlow release, a Concept of the Day section on transfer learning with a why-it-matters callout, and the start of a Job Insight section. — The AI & Machine Learning brief as it lands in my inbox.
