👴🏻 We live in a world where our elders have to learn AI and our youngsters want to become life coaches 🤷‍♀️ We got this upside down 🙃 We need our elders to be life coaches and mediators. They have so much more lived experiences. They have more time and are more patient. 🤖 And we need our youngsters to embrace AI and explore what else is possible. They have much less to unlearn. They are more likely to discover new opportunities. That’s why we need multigenerational communities. It takes a village.

Patches on my tubes didn’t like the heat. Two new tubes and unexpected bike repair to start the week.

It can be frustrating to not feel supported by the community when we do something. Ask yourself: would I do this if nobody would join me? If the answer is no, don’t do it. The community cannot be the driving force. That’s your job. People will join once they see something happening that they want to be part of.

New business model for X: extortion. An inactive account is squatting your username? X will release it for for $10k + $1k/month 🤯

With AI, you need to replace your SEO team with a documentation team. Great opportunity for journalists and other people who love writing.

So many people marching in Brussels for Palestine 🇵🇸 This has a feeling of the marches against the war in Iraq in 2003 back when Colin Powell shared fabricated lies about their weapons of mass destruction program. Like the US then, Israel is the wrong side of history. Fellow Israeli friends, you are smart educated people. Dare to speak up against your own government. You deserve better.

We are going back to family businesses. Except this time, you get to choose your family.

Heroku is down for more than 12 hours. With that, I moved openletter.earth (a side project that people keep on using) to its own instance on Hetzner. Next step: move it to a Nostr backend to remove the need for a central server altogether.

Prompt engineering is just the starting point. To iterate, you need boundaries engineering. Set the validation rules, let AI agents do the rest. 🤖

What if AI could allow us to go back offline? Go back to IRL experiences? We developed the keyboard, the mouse, the touchscreen as a way to communicate our intent to the computer. Do we still need them now that AI can understand what we say, write, draw? Using AI to build new software feels like the horseless carriage. We forgot that the best interface is the one that disappears. Let’s free people from having to interact with a touch screen. Sometimes, it’s better to interact with paper, post-its and other physical objects. Then capture that with a camera and use AI to record it and make sense of it.
