Before Hacking

  1. The guy I was planning to build with dipped
  2. Met 3 ppl. took so long to find the last member, its so weird most ppl are in teams of 3/4, hard to find others that are indivudual. Admittedly, I was finding people in person, searching online wouldve been easier I suppose

  • RBC Tech (Best Security Threats) - 1000 dollars
  • Databricks (Best use) - Legos, was told that databricks is adopted in Sci-kit Learn and Terraform

During Build

  • Roles are established and I am working on twilioo
  • I have to create a system that can call and recieve calls
  • I make 3 free twilio accounts
  • The function to call is very straightforwards
  • The function to recieve requires twillio to watch post requests for a site and then return the response given by a POST requets’s XML response
  • The way to establish communication is to use a Connection and Stream tag
    • I spent very long trying to setup the webhook link to be accurate with AWS, it ended up being a lot easier to just ngrok to setup a tunnel on the public internet
    • I did not figure out how to get recording the conversation to work, we could record the muval data, but could not decode property, I could not find a way to decode, i tried AssemblyAI and Vox
  • Worked on frontend a bit, added a PWA Agent, but it does not appear to work in full
  • Looked back at twilio: https://github.com/MarcosSan4/realtime-twilio-outbound/blob/main/main.py
