There’s a whole bunch of hidden features that no one seems to be aware of.

Preview has pretty good background removal.

I was recently doing some work - reasonably repetitive and tedious.

I asked Claude to spin up a bunch of agents to do it and after a bit of discussion we ended up writing a bunch of deterministic scripts that ran off the data collated by some “research” agents.

It took a few pilot loops of the process to nail it down, but separating the process into “data collection” and “process the data” has pretty much eliminated the AI step. Once the data has been collected from the random sources and normalised into something sensible we rarely have to do it again.

Even that process has been largely automated, scripts that deterministically scrape data, the AI is only needed for the very difficult parts that need some decisions or interpretation.

Getting the AI to write tools for itself is a great way to work.

Agreed - there’s a point where supporting old out of date browsers is simply an enabler.

You may benefit from an embedding approach for semantic search. Not sure what an LLM would give you on top of that.

Agreed - having played a lot with AI content generation - it's impossible not to recognise it.

What's annoying is that you can put effort in and de-AI something. But it takes work. And no one wants to put the time in.

Feels like everyone has to go on the journey.

ORMs are bad - I’ll just use SQL.

Hmm - I need to map these results onto objects I can use.

Hmm - wouldn’t it be great if the object tracked changes and could save itself.

I need related/child objects - wouldn’t it be great if I could auto fetch them. …

I don’t think this article is suggesting really going for it in terms of meditation. But, as a warning to people, there is evidence that meditation can be dangerous for some people.

I often think this about medicine and the human body. We want to believe that our bodies are some miraculous well oiled machine. But it often seems that it’s a barely held together bag of mess.

And this the big problem. Normally, competition would take care of this. Someone would come along and offer a better service.

Unfortunately there are many instances of no competition - which then leads to abuse.
