20 posts touching on ai-and-productivity.
- I Want AI to Keep Up With Me
I want AI to help me develop ideas, understand the tradeoffs, and try the result quickly enough to keep thinking and directing the work.
- Agents Need Access to the Whole Stack
Coding agents become much more productive when they can inspect, operate, and verify the product across development, production, and analytics.
- Why Agent Frameworks Cannot Win
Generic agent frameworks cannot hold a stable abstraction over models that keep absorbing their features and products that need direct control.
- AI-Generated Code Should Come With Evidence
Demo artifacts can replace some code reading by showing that AI-generated changes satisfy the behavior they were meant to produce.
- sfeed.dev
A CLI and MCP server for posting to Facebook Pages and Instagram from local files.
- The comprehension debt
AI makes you faster but you might understand less of what you build. The long-term cost of that gap is still unclear.
- CLAUDE.md Is Not the Problem
The problem with CLAUDE.md is the same problem code comments have. Most of them are noise.
- Agent-First Development and the Cloud Shift
When agents become the primary interface for building software, local machines become the bottleneck.
- AI gave us a faster brush
The joy of coding was never in writing code itself, but in solving problems and creating on an infinite canvas of bits.
- The Illusion of Software Automation
Productivity and output does not scale with token budgets as the bottleneck is (and remains) human comprehension.
- The Comprehension Bottleneck
Generation has a clear target. Comprehension does not. That difference explains why AI accelerates one and barely touches the other.
- Bertle
Email your ideas, AI organizes them into living documents with research and insights.
- Lound.ai
Voice journaling app that turns spoken thoughts into organized insights.
- Two-stage AI calls for structured output
Unless latency is critical, use 2 AI calls to generate structured output.
- A major edge human coders have over AI is short-term memory in the form of intuition
Human developers build an intuitive cache for codebases that AI lacks, creating a significant advantage in development speed and understanding.
- AI Honeymoon Phase
AI is undeniably a productivity boost, but there's many more bottlenecks to overcome
- How to Talk to GenAI
Great prompting is just good communication. Be clear, give context, and treat AI like a smart assistant, not a mind reader.
- AI doesn't have to make you lazy
AI is a tool. It's up to you to use it to be lazy or not.
- AI Might Like 🍝 Code
Why AI systems might prefer what humans call "spaghetti code"
- Tim Ferriss AI
Ask AI questions about Tim Ferriss or any of his guests and get human-like answers based on what was said in any episode.
