Love when AI can write a script in 30 seconds with some guidance which solves a problem I'm having. I needed to split an image for a carousel... script written, problem solved. What quick scripts has AI written for you to solve problems?

Productivity hack nobody talks about: Tell someone you're going to do it. Then actually do it. Accountability > motivation

Love when I can give Claude a snippet of code I quickly wrote to refactor it. It’s not always perfect, but can guide Claude to get closer. Biggest take away is speed of refactoring. #buildinpublic #ai #claudeai

Had a conversation with a friend who is not a developer, but in tech about AI and how it's affecting my day to day. I said improved speed and having second "brain" to work through problems/brainstorming were the biggest unlocks.

I uploaded complex flow diagram to ChatGPT After a few clarifying questions, I was able to find small gaps which needed addressing. In addition to fixing some small gaps in my logic, ChatGPT then provided me with boilerplate code I could start with. #buildinpublic

Spring cleaning time! Instead of something new, I'm going to work on improving some old projects which need a bit of a facelift. Going to be working on lawof100's infrastructure first. #buildinpublic

Definitely not into all the vibe coding, however excited to see where it leads as it pertains to coding assistants and other AI tooling. #buildinpublic

Pushing updates to improve conversation contexts in Arclly. Arclly will better understand your goals, what you are working on this week and how the checkins link with each other. #buildinpublic

Does anyone have a good approach to making AI responses more conversational / human? I feel like I could improve Arclly responses. #buildinpublic

Working on Arclly has highlighted patterns for prompting LLMs Tip: Structured prompts helps the LLM maintain context. I like markdown. Bonus: Ask the LLM to improve your prompt for context. #buildinpublic

Noticed an issue with checkin replies after a config change on Arclly. This has been fixed. You should be seeing emails flowing shortly. 😅 #buildinpublic

Shipped more updates yesterday. Arclly is getting a bit smarter and clearer on your long term and short term goals. Always be iterating! What are you iterating on? #buildinpublic

Another great checkin with Taylor from Arclly. I was a little nervous since I had made some small tweaks to the promos. So far it’s looking good. #buildinpublic

Got the midweek checkin 🦾 The formatting was a bit off. However, content itself Taylor was spot on. This is why we are in beta! #buildinpublic

Arclly is coming along... but broke a bunch of deployment configurations while attempting to clean up my SST config today. 🫣 Great learnings and going to have a good base for the next project! #buildinpublic

Playing around with Hono, SST, and ApiGateway had my head spinning with CORS issues 1. Forgot how ApiGateway handled headers 2. "*" for AllowHeaders isn't always the solution 3. Preflight handling needed to be done on the Hono side? Remembering 1 would've made this all easier but 🙃 #buildinpublic
