The most viral AI workflow of the year…1M+ downloads and counting. And I sat down with the builder behind it to break down exactly how he did it. 🤯 Jd Fiscus (aka @nerding_io ) couldn’t sleep one night and hacked together an MCP node for n8n. A popular YouTuber covered it, the

On Friday the US government announced an update to the H-1B visa – the most significant program for foreign high-skilled professionals working in the US – to add a $100,000 fee for new visa applicants. This change creates risks and opportunities for Canada. Without action, U.S.
