The Coordination of AI
AI won’t just do your work; it’ll need you to manage it. Think of it as hiring a million super-smart interns who can code, write & research…but still need guidance. The future isn’t about using one AI tool well. It’s about managing many like a boss.
The AI Coding Companion
AI is changing who gets to build for your personal productivity. Whether you’re a non-coder, power user, or developer, you can now create tools with AI around how you work instead of settling for defaults. open.substack.com/pub/produ…

I had my first experience with “Auto browse” (agentic AI) in Google Chrome. I’m still very concerned about privacy and security (which I know Google is working on diligently), but I was impressed by my initial work with it. It needs to be faster, much faster. But the potential is exciting!
Is it me, or is Google Gemini Live constantly trying to end the conversation? Ending every response with “Is there anything else…?” is giving I’m-done-with-you vibes.

We don’t always default to kindness, and sometimes that may reflect how we treat ourselves, especially amid old hurts or harsh self-talk. Reminder: be kind to yourself today.

There are no problems, only projects (per David Allen). Chasing fully automated solutions are how you get stuck (and downstream problems occur when automations inevitably break). Settle for 75-80%. That imperfect solution still saves huge time and can be iterated on over time. Action is the win.
Reject “hustle culture” for a better kind of growth. You can be a high performer without acting like a robot.
- Stop seeing every action as a worthiness test.
- Incremental progress equates often to better output.
- Consistency is great, but don’t choose it over being human.
In life and work, resist two traps: ⚠️ Don’t take one moment and make it a universal truth. ⚠️ Don’t treat universal truths like they apply without exception. Wisdom lives between the general and the specific. That’s where agency begins.
