Want to build stuff for fun and profit
Had a strange few days at my desk - dry eyes, stiff back, hard to focus.
Felt like my body was trying to tell me something.
So over the weekend, I'll start vibe coding something small to help:

Interesting take on how AI can change/augment existing workflows or entire paradigms of interacting with a computer
I often hear AI is going to be a replacement when instead the real opportunity lies in it being a way to complement & improve what we already do

The case against conversational interfaces
Conversational interfaces are a bit of a meme. Every couple of years a shiny new AI development emerges and people in tech go "This is it! The next computing paradigm is here! We'll only use natural l...

Anthropic unveiled the findings of an interesting research about how LLMs tend to "think" and how an AI gives you an answer by tracing the interactions between different conceptual features
Of course I used Claude to summarise it and explain it to me 😅

Diving into AI agents lately & 1 thing stands out in almost every course/article: you don't really need an AI agent.
A well-crafted set of prompts and a clear workflow usually does the trick.
A reminder that with great power comes great....complexity ? 🤷♂️

Maybe it's just me - but say 1 in every 3 posts on my LinkedIn feed is someone celebrating their certificate in "AI for Opening a Chrome Tab" kind of achievement.
Is prompt engineering such a certificate worthy achievement - or what am I missing out?

Spent more time than I initially was planning to building Grace - but I’ll take it.

Hope you all find some time to rest, reset and get back at it with more energy, clarity and confidence.

They enable us to imagine and create.
Yet, they can also be the source of our misery.

Earlier this year, I decided to take control of my health. 💪 I started eating clean, working out, improving my sleep, and doing all the ‘right’ things for my body.
Slowly, I felt more rested, had more energy, and was even more focused... but something was still missing. 🧵
