AI lowers my writing friction. Same motivation, more output. I write more, I get feedback faster, I iterate more. That's the value for me.
My reasoning: I use AI for development work (Claude Code), and better models = fewer wasted tokens = less compute = less environmental impact. This isn't a privacy issue for work context.
I regularly run concurrent AI tasks for planning, coding, testing - easily hundreds of requests per session. If training on that interaction data helps future models be more efficient and accurate, everyone wins.
The real problem isn't privacy invasion - it's AI velocity dumping cognitive tax on human reviewers. I'd rather have models that learned from real usage patterns and got better at being precise on the first try, instead of confidently verbose slop that wastes reviewer time.
In dev we do 100 consistency checks and get green. In CI we do 10.

I'm happy to see Claude Code reaching parity with Cursor for linting/type checking after edits.
Nice job on your deck. Startup seems cool.
Why build Nest on the server when you already have Next for the client?
In my experience a lot of people don’t know how to write with a level of specificity needed to map to pre defined triggers.
For example: instead of saying spreadsheet they may say “roadmap” or instead of saying “Notion database” they may say “bug tracker”
This stuff fails in Zapier.
Any chance you handle those cases better?
You're totally correct in saying that forgetting the effects on other parts of the business is where a lot of the analysis needs to be directed.
Quick anecdote. I remember a friend who joined Shopify relatively early. He took ALL their data from many different services (analytics, Kafka etc) and loaded into Postgres on his laptop so he could query it efficiently.
It's amazing how over-engineered some startups are.
Thanks for sharing the link to the post on unleashing creativity—I hope others find it helpful as well.
As you can see, I'm working on taking responsibility for my actions and working on self-improvement. I appreciate you taking the time to explore my writing.
The browsers are doing a really good job making this a possibility today.
