I wrote a piece on the importance of content and storytelling based on my experiences in the AI boom.
02. learning
Midjourney: Yes, I know Midjourney has been around for a while, but I’ve recently given it another shot and… it’s really good. If you haven’t played with it recently, I’d recommend you give it a shot
Web interface guidelines: Really great thought leadership from Vercel. I’m excited to try these out in my next app
Ice: Menu bar manager for Mac. Replacing bartender for me!
AssemblyAI: I was blown away by the speed of the product and the quality of the documentation. I’d recommend giving them a shot for voice AI (transcription in my case)
