The Education Business in an AI World YouTube video by Pragmatic AI - Podcast and Videos

The tension articulated here on @mattstauffer.com’s new show perfectly captures my internal conflict with AI.

On one hand, the possibilities it creates feels infinite and magical.

On the other, what are we losing, and who is being most negatively impacted by my/our embrace of it?

Claude skill for Laravel Shift Claude skill for Laravel Shift. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I run Laravel Shift a *lot*.

I've been using Claude to review my Shifts locally, and it's *very* helpful; Shift gives AI exactly the type of directions it needs.

So I built a Claude skill for reviewing Shift PRs. Test it out, let me know what you think!

I have written a few apps that use RAG and AI, and let me tell you, it would've gone *so* much more smoothly and quickly if I had:

- Laravel AI SDK
- This article from @nicodevs.bsky.social

If you're interested in building AI to interact with your documents, this is the cheat code.

I just experienced something I'm going to call "Rage phishing".

We used Act-on years ago, and I just got this email purportedly from Act-on about how they're going to automatically add a political support button to every email we send. Not really Act-on, of course, but clever!

Short musings on "cognitive debt" - I'm seeing this in my own work, where excessive unreviewed AI-generated code leads me to lose a firm mental model of what I've built, which then makes it harder to confidently make future decisions simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/15/...

Delegated Types is one of my favorite Active Record patterns! It surfaces the invisible hierarchy in polymorphic relations, lets you define richer models and their nesting, track data changes on the type cleanly, and so much more. Had fun writing this one!

Aww man thank you!!

Been working on this for months; it’s so exciting to see it live!

My goal: avoid doom, avoid hype.

Focus on clear-eyed, balanced pragmatism: what you need to know as a human being, business leader, technologist, creator, to interact w/AI well.

Firewatch is a such a good game. If you’re looking for something to play and you’re happy to immerse yourself in an aesthetically beautiful story, with perhaps an even more beautiful soundtrack, this game is for you.

We've had minor sicknesses running through and that's been miserable. Can't imagine A) all the flue and B) the baby in the hospital... all with pneumonia??? I'm so sorry man. So glad you're recovering!

Thank you!

If you're looking to learn how to use AI/LLMs in *practical*, *pragmatic* ways--not "what's the latest-greatest", but "how can I as a business owner and/or technologist use these tools for my benefit *today*"...

Who do you look to?

No lol it kicked my butt multiple times then life got busy. So you have an actual GBA?
