Officially at the age where when I say “I’m so old” no one says “no you’re not!” back 🥀 It’s just nods of acknowledgement.

At least in the circles I follow, there's been so much about educators leaving the space because of the various impacts of AI, but everyone is sick of the state of things. Push enough talent away, and bad things are going to happen. youtu.be/1aW7P3ZAUYw

Everything outside of your comfort zone is..the zone of discomfort. So growth is, by definition, uncomfortable. Discomfort isn’t the sign to go back or stop

Remembering that one time I was speaking very passionately in a huge meeting about a very serious topic and I got this very unserious notification, which made me reflect on how much I talk with my hands lmao 💅🏾

Started growing vegetables inside and they were doing GREAT until I went away for a couple of days and half the seedlings were dying 😩 Bought a raised bed and put them all outside this morning and now ALL of the seedlings are dying 🥀

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 22/08/2026

I would argue that your standards for comedy are just higher than most. You have high expectations, and refuse to laugh _just_ because other people are laughing. So, that actually makes this the highest of compliments AND means this joke is funnier than I originally thought 😂

Super helpful thank you! You said a lot of what I’ve been thinking too. I’m probably going to go with some aspect of system design that doesn’t _exclude_ AI, but doesn’t _center_ it either. To answer the question in your 2nd msg, it’s a topic I believe a lot of folks will always need to hear about

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 07/08/2026

I understand exactly what you’re saying! This is another point in the jar for the topic I was really hoping to give. Thank you George!

Not even 24 hrs ago I posted on LI how I believe the best AI users are the skeptics who care more about the craft/building a quality product than the ones who blindly trust the LLM to work & communicate on their behalf Insanely helpful to hear, bc that’s the feel I’m hoping to have in my talk

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 07/08/2026

Im just speaking generally! Like at _any_ conference, how are you feeling about the number of AI talks Thank you Sara! This is validating 🥂💕

120

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 07/08/2026

99.98% of talks involve AI. Which makes sense bc our companies are all-AI-talk, all the time Is that what you would want to hear about? Or is a break from AI what you reeeeallly want instead? Like, we can talk about touching digital grass together or something. Wdyt?

Shaundai Person @shaundai.com · 07/08/2026

Trying to decide on a talk topic for React Summit My problem is that I want to talk about something that doesn’t overlap too much with the amazing content from my speaking peers, but I also want it to be something folks *want* to hear about Halp me please, friends 🥹 (actual question below)

ThE NeXt STep iS juSt mAkiNG an eFficiEnt bInArY diReCtlY wITh Ai 3 rounds of back and forth with Claude and it’s resolution was to re-word a comment in the test file

Me: wtf claude. i asked you to resolve the error.
the error’s not because the comment needed to be changed

Raggedy ass Claude: You're right, I only patched the comment instead of fixing the actual
detect - that's not what “resolve the error" means. Let me look harder for a real fix.

also that 2 versions of a human don’t exist simultaneously (or at least it’s not explained in this theory?) Its more that two FUTURE possible outcomes for the cat/human exist in the present or am I trippin
