What if work felt easy?
> I felt like I should catch up to stay relevant in the changing tech landscape, but that feeling just didn’t translate to action.
> Then, a few months ago, I had this silly idea for a Trader Joe’s snack box builder. It made me smile to think about it existing in the world. So I downloaded Cursor, and built and shipped a basic version in two hours.
And what if AI was what made it feel easy?
> That tiny spark of joy reminded me how much I love to build. A few weeks ago, I got pulled into building a Community Library app — something I’d been noodling on for months as a shared Google Sheet. Once I had the idea for a real site, it just made sense to build it.
What if all your problems could be solved with AI? Visualize it. Find that tiny spark of joy. Magnify it.
- switchbak 1y ago> What if all your problems could be solved with AI? Well, that's a big question and I think the answer is "no". There's probably not a single person in this world whose entire set of problems could be solved with AI. It can be useful in some narrow (digital) domains, sure. Is it going to fix your grumpy neighbour, your IBS or your Mom with dementia? No. And in fact, one of my main problems these days is dealing with the side effects of other's over-exuberance with AI. And shockingly, rubbing more AI on it only makes it worse.
