AI bootcamp

Everything in AI is moving so damn fast. As someone who is non-technical who is balancing a demanding job and being a parent, it’s incredibly frustrating that I don’t have enough time to explore and play with the latest tools.

When I do find a pocket of time, I have a ton of fun playing and seeing what I can accomplish. It feels like every few weeks things get easier. We were just talking about ClawdBot and how hard it was to set-up for someone non-technical. Yesterday, I played around with TaskLet which lets you set-up “agents” similar to asking Claude or Chat a question. It was fascinating and I’m excited to explore deeper as it’s catered to non-technical folks like me.

Of course, it’s still early and I’m lucky to be working at a tech company where I have at least some time and resources to explore. At the same time, it’s no longer a convenient excuse to not have time to learn AI. Doing so handicaps your ability to produce at work.

For that reason, I’m starting to carve out blocks of days to focus on AI. Tomorrow, I put up a block for almost all of Friday to first catch-up on work, but then go through the Claude boot camp that I have been putting off. It’s time to stop making excuses.
