...what I'm building in my day job into a Google Doc. I can then tag this doc into Claude conversations easily and give it extremely nuanced background knowledge when I'm trying to brainstorm on a problem. When someone wants to know what I...
LLMs allow a good default strategy when tackling a problem to be "just start."

The current class of preeminent LLM experiences are all fundamentally chat-first.
...hat-first. Imagine that you create an Artifact that you find very valuable in a Claude chat. How do you find it a month or two later? There's no directory of all the artifacts you created. The artifacts are a secondary thing that just s...

An interesting use case for LLMs: on-demand cozy schlock novels.

You're a king when you deal with Claude.
You're a king when you deal with Claude. When Claude says "What an astute observation" it feels dangerously good. It effectively says "Good idea, majesty!" . But the longer that goes on the...
The creator mindset is different from the buyer mindset.

People who can code via LLMs don't necessarily have an intuition for what plain old code can do.

Unpacking subtexts takes patience and savviness.
Unpacking subtexts takes patience and savviness. Claude is patient and pretty savvy! Claude is great at doing straussian reads of writing to unpack hidden subtexts.
