Working with data and insight.
Building CoAmplio.com in my freetime!
Too many interests to list.
Even though I try to keep up with most things AI, for personal projects I've gone all out @anthropic.com. It just feels like these guys have more fun than some of the others when I use their products.

And I like to prioritize fun over a lot of things. (when I can)

Hope to see more of these interactions moving forward on www.coamplio.com!

What are your go to ways to get your first 10 users? (That's not friends or family)

Where would you go to get feedback before you had a finished piece to put on Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok or any other forum you want to share the finished product?

Friends? Family? Or do you have a go to place online?

Only fitting that the first feedback request on CoAmplio is a request for feedback on CoAmplio itself. Will be a fun time capsule to look at if we are able to grow.

Want to give us some feedback, or want feedback yourself? Why not join us at coamplio.com?

The hardest part of learning something new isn't really the beginning, or the end. It's the messy middle.

When you know some basics and need guidance and feedback on the work you know isn't great and want to improve it!

That's why we are building www.CoAmplio.com!

If you're going to sell an #AI product, and you website has a footer with dead links I'm going to be REALLY skeptical of using your product...

When testing isn't really going as planned, but the waitlist is up and running as intended😅

Going to try and see if we can get the waitlist live today. Let's see if we can make it happen.

For fun I'm going to start streaming some sessions where we build the feedback community I want to try and build.

So come and give me feedback when I try to build something to make actionable feedback more accessible to everyone!

Is AI more data or more analytics? I saw someone on LinkedIn announcing they changed their name to Data and AI because Analytics was soooo "2018".

To me this makes no sense. AI does not replace data or analytics. AI is a tool, use it when it makes sense. don't force it as the solution.

So after starting to use Claude Code I feel like Claude and my relationship is on quite the journey. So let's just start today and see how it evolves.

Day 1: Claude is starting to realize tons of changes at a time might be a bad idea.

Asking Claude Code to predict the outcome of a deploy to Azure it struggling with and getting output like this is A+

"Given my track record in this conversation of not
catching issues upfront, and the fact that the user is
asking me to predict, I suspect it might not have
worked."
August 11, 2025 at 5:27 PM
The thing I still say the most to f.ex Claude Code is "keep things simple".

So often the logic that is being implemented is way to complex and breaks at some point down the line. So being able to go back and sometimes say "I would do it this way" to guide seems extremely important.

By the way if you haven't watched @jackconte.bsky.social ackconte.bsky.social talk from @sxsw.com from last year called "the Death of the Follower" you should go do that!

One of my fears with everyone using AI for everything is that everything will become extremely mediocre and it will be harder to find the things that stand out.

But maybe it has already been like that for a long time: www.alexmurrell.co.uk/articles/the...

Interesting read!

The machine I want to exist, but probably never will is the machine that let's us say the phrase "I know how you feel" and ACTUALLY feel it! 😅

Finally I could understand how someone can break into crying when seeing a celebrity!

Probably won't be all positive feeling though, but interesting? YES!

It fascinates me that commercials on podcasts in Spotify sounds exactly the same as commercials on radio 20 years ago😅

How I decide if something in the AI space is worth investigating further:

Is it fun? 🤷
Is it useful? 👍
Is it fun AND useful? 🤘

Have someone found a way to just make Sonnet 3.7 chill out. Way to often I think it's over complicating and over engineering stuff, not answering what I want it to do and rewrite way to much code even though I just ask for small changes...
April 8, 2025 at 1:28 PM
I am testing parts of my solution on texts I get from Reddit comments and then paste it back to the user. It is not necessarily that easy to use Reddit comments as feedback to how the solution is working though.

Maybe I should just try to do it in a larger scale by making a bot?

“Our job is to protect our babies from being judged too quickly. Our job is to protect the new.“

If you haven't read "Creativity Inc." get it and read it! Great insight in how to build creative organizations.

If you have read it, did you know there is a extended version now?

Get it and read it! 😍

Today felt like a good day to simply delete unused stuff... And leave it at that.
