The note

The first Week 3 build

The attached post points to Myles's rapid response to the Week 3 data challenge: a public-data app around white-nose syndrome and bat mortality. The timing is the point of the note — the competition prompt went live in the morning, and an app-sized response showed up by lunch.

Myles / Merlin Forge WHITE NOSE — the government counted a plague killing millions of bats, county by county, and never built you a way to watch it My girlfriend Natasha rehabilitates bats in Des Moines, Iowa.

Competition signal: Summer Into AI is producing exactly the kind of compressed build loop it is meant to test: public prompt, public data, public artifact, and public receipts in the same day.
