  • It’s that one week that happens every hundred weeks or so where I decide I am an authoritative expert in curling 😆

  • If AI can build the software, what do I actually sell?

    I had a weird moment this week that stuck with me. I built something in about an hour that would have taken me a month a year ago. Same outcome. Completely legitimate – built to my standards, but in minutes instead of weeks. It was REALLY something to behold, but it genuinely made me sick…

  • If AI can build software instantly, then the thing I sell must be something software alone cannot confer.

  • My toxic trait is drastically increasing my project scope because I have AI instead of moving faster 🙈

  • Everyone’s talking about the coding upgrades they’re getting from AI, but a big upgrade for me has simply been background research. Today, My AI assistant found: 1. A qualified lead 2. A competitor insight 3. Two great blog post ideas 4. A great LinkedIn topic

  • THIS IS SO COOL. I set up an AI-infused RSS flow that curates content for me and builds my own newspaper formatted as ePub. It’s like Paper.li but the curation is better and it’s formattated specifically for my e reader.

  • This was really fun to put together. An art gallery and shopping experience for my wife’s website. You can pick the wall color, tweak the frame, and pick a mat. I wanted people to see what her work would look like in their home. https://katestandiford.com/gallery

  • Remember when you watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and the dad had these fantastic contraptions that were his own personal devices that were clearly FOR HIM and him only and you thought “Man that’d be so cool!” That’s what it feels like to make personal software right now.

  • One of the weirdest things about AI is that it has really…smoothed out my day. It used to be I’d run hot and be dead ass tired by 2PM, so I always front-loaded my coding because I knew I wouldn’t have it in me to start after 1PM. Now…I’m just kinda steadily working all day.

  • Claude…did you verify your code with tests? “No, no I didn’t” Claude…we talked about this! Starting to feel like I’m reprimanding a child 😆.
