Siren Affiliates

  • Anyone else frequently saying “Claude use sleep to wait 2 hours and then pick this back up” It’s a nice down and dirty way to automatically pause until your usage resets.

  • I used to be the dev crying “but code quality”. The truth it’s, it just doesn’t matter that much, because AI can refactor and organize that tech debt pretty fast. It allows you to iterate and improve the code faster, and that includes bearing down on tech debt

  • It’s been deeply satisfying to see AI leverage PHPNomad to build out so much of my Novatorius infrastructure this week. So cool to see the stuff I’ve been using to build plugins for clients, and Siren, also be completely usable elsewhere without changing context.

  • 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
