Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 31/07/2025One of the things I learned writing on social networks is: asking for answers in the post just doesn't work. People answer/reply because they want to according to the post, not because the author asks for an answer (like "and you, what do you think?") 🤷🏻 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 07/07/2025Saying "don't use AI because you'll lose your thinking ability" is like saying "don't use the digital address book because you'll lose your memory ability." 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 15/06/2025Read a book in the traditional way, page by page (on paper, possibly). Then, ask ChatGPT for a summary of the same book. After that, challenge both it and yourself on what you grasp further, to learn more and gain different perspectives, and possibly pursue further reading. It's powerful. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 12/06/2025Time for another personal software. WhatsApp allows exporting the full chat with someone. I wanted to gain some insights from a time perspective. I ran @bolt.new, and after a few minutes, I had what I needed to play with. The speed of having an idea, making it, and then moving on is impressive. 151
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 08/06/2025Yes we can ask ChatGPT a bullet list of important insights from an entire book, but reading a book is a means to deeply learn and fix to our memory such insights. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 04/06/2025I'm soft-launching a little project used privately by several clients so far. It's the first project I created with 100% AI assistance. I barely typed some characters, pretty much all the code has been written not by me, but by the AI. deckserve.comdeckserve.comDeckServe - Google Slides and Docs to PDF/PPT/DOCX API for document automation 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 29/05/2025Startup idea: an AI Agent that will analyze and assess for you the coming huge wave of AI Agent platforms! 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 29/05/2025At some point, there'll be tools that will easily allow regular people to fine-tune LLM models that will be plugged in somewhere, and that will generate any kind of competition (and markets) you can imagine. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 28/05/2025I have the same repulsion when reading "RIP software dev" as well as "Vibe coding is a joke" 🤷🏻 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 26/05/2025I now use ChatGPT for search all the time. And I pay for it $20/month. Something I don't know I would do for Google back then, to be honest. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 24/05/2025I now find myself using Google search only to verify chatgpt results, when in doubt. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 24/05/2025If you want to write on social media, just write, it'll be awful at the beginning, then, you'll find your way, aside from metrics, you'll feel good. 110
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 23/05/2025In a world where producing a quantity of text is no longer an effort, I start to value much more short (but dense in meaning) text. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 23/05/2025I find it somewhat ironic; maybe software can survive AI. What about Stack Overflow? 010
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 21/05/2025Who is going to develop a dedicated and specialised fundation LLM model able to select between LLM models? 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 21/05/2025All the demos of an AI-based search tool are: finding a restaurant, booking a hotel, or a flight. 🤔 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 19/05/2025I don't really know why I ignored @obsidian.md ... definitely a mistake. 030
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 04/05/2025The next big thing will be a marketplace of MCP servers with unified auth and billing. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 22/04/2025I want a writing tool that contains all my writings, notes, ideas, drafts, and, aside helping writing, fixing, also proactively suggest and propose and stimulate me. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 18/04/2025The o3 image analysis capability is insane, we should really stop publishing personal images on the web. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 16/04/2025Progress on this little tool connected with Google Slides... 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 06/04/2025One of the best not so popular benefits of using ai code assistance? Helping you to tune yourself again on code base you worked a while ago 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 05/04/2025Wondering why all the tech-optimist ppl and Trump supporters, are pretty silent these days 🤷 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 05/04/2025Picturing the data flow is a very valuable and important skill. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 02/04/20259 out of 10 onboarding flow in tools are annoying. 10 out of 10 are useless. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 31/03/2025I heavily underestimate the usefulness of the deep research tool on day to day job. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 31/03/2025Just finished a quick data research using LLM, its internal data, asking it to find on the web the missing or more refined data in order to crunch it, providing me the final answer as a brief comment supported by charts. 100
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 28/03/2025The Ghibli trend of the new 4o image generation capability is minimizing the real impact of such capability. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 25/03/2025Last time I opened VSCode (the original one)? I really don't know 🤷🏻 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 18/03/2025Today I had my first true vibe-coding session. Feeling good 😊 010
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 14/03/2025The future will be meta-products, non-end-user focused, breedable-oriented "digital things." 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 13/03/2025It might be counterintuitive but there isn't a better time to learn or improve in coding skills. If you're in doubt, do yourself a favour: do it! 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 13/03/2025Vibe coding is declarative programming at its extreme 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 12/03/2025Honestly thrilled by the Computer Use OpenAI model release 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 07/03/2025Developing an LLM-native software is all about trade-offs 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 05/03/2025The challenge of the moment while working with LLMs: a solid *automatic* way to "choose" between models, in particular between reasoner and non-reasoner models, in order to have speed for simple task, and quality for more complex one. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 03/03/2025This year rich ppl will become embarrassingly richer. 110
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 27/02/2025When, after the third cold message, they tell me that "*maybe* I missed their last message," I can't help but reply, but I won't. 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 27/02/2025After 24 hours, still trying to wrap my head around this, without success. 😨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mCs...youtube.comTypeScript types can run DOOMYouTube video by Michigan TypeScript 000
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 21/02/2025I've never replied to cold emails/messages whose final purpose was to sell something. I've always replied to cold emails/messages whose final purpose wasn't to sell something. 010
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 21/02/2025The benefit of this period of time is how easy it is to spot false progressives turned publicly far-right. 010
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 17/02/2025We're working on a project where massive scheduling is a very important aspect for the client. We're adding AI to assist with such scheduling, trying to automate as much as possible, always keeping the human in the loop, because it is a critical outcome... 210
Fabio Franchino @fabiofranchino.com · 15/02/2025monorepo is handy until a component stops working in a specific environment due to dependency hell 🤷🏻 000
