One by product of this is I'm pretty sure Matt just made "figuring out onboarding" irrelevant in most companies.

Have a company handbook. Have a Claude account. Install this as a skill on Claude Desktop (I just did)

Then have new employees run the /teach skill for onboarding.

[Matt Pocock @mattpocockuk]

I poured my 10 years of teaching experience into a skill.

It's called /teach, and it can teach you anything.

Here's how it taught me to solve a Rubik's cube:

@joelhooks @johnlindquist Thank you!

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@johnlindquist @joelhooks Which one are you both taking? I don't remember where we had this conversation before or where I asked. I'm looking into this.

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@aarondfrancis Pretty sure this is the best general principle for AI use as well. If you are not self aware in your use of AI I find it is probably not that useful to you.

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

Claude asking pretty frequently how it is doing reminds me of Mark from Parks and Rec asking Ann how he is doing in their relationship.

Instead claude should ask, like Baymax, are you satisfied with your care?

@AnthropicAI I love helping them to be clear. It is an area of joy for me to help people get wins.

I've just seen it easily 20-30 times now and it's so funny that they don't even know there is a plus button let alone any sorts of ideas of what they could do

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

Who can I talk to @AnthropicAI. Been talking with so many people lately who are more non-technical trying to use/maximize their setup with Claude.

90% of the non-technical users have probably never thought to click the + icon to add a connector or skill.

Help them

Varda Space Industries, you know the make medicines in space (sorry for the over simplification)

But they should be the first to have Data Centers in space.

If you are building the last piece of software but your software produces software….

I’m sure roadmaps and things are involved just sounded funny thinking about it this morning

@ThePrimeagen The Wingfeather Saga. I think you would enjoy it yourself and then with your kids as well.

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@glcst @AnthropicAI @tursodatabase @lydiahallie would probably also be able to point you in the right direction or @jarredsumner

@IanLandsman Before it was in the thoughtful implementation of something. Now in many place it is just, "how much did you get out the door."

Measuring oneself off 'output' or being measured that way is a terribly stressful way to live especially with god-tier output machines

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@IanLandsman What is craft and taste? I think it is pretty subjective honestly. But what is important and fun to you?

My picture of Ian from hours of podcast listening is working on the biz. Business Strategy

Most I think are working 'in' the biz and now are asking, where is my value

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@aarondfrancis @selfteachme @TokenTownPod @IanLandsman I find it incredibly encouraging. I think they have had some meetings with Anthropic as well. But I really appreciate this.

Praxis could also be something you could do I think where you are working with others bringing redemptive focus to things.

[Ben Patton @benapatton]

@aarondfrancis @selfteachme @TokenTownPod @IanLandsman @aarondfrancis are you familiar with Praxis labs by Andy Crouch and the Redemptive AI perspective? https://t.co/Io2Lk8Cc7j

Does anyone know why you have to press 'keep' after sending an audio message on iphone?

I find it so annoying that I can send audio messages and then effectively have no evidence of that if I didn't keep it so then I second guess if I sent it to someone or not
