Life advice nobody told you: Violent consistency is the only path to achieve what you want.
It's not going to be pretty. It's not going to draw oohs and aahs from the crowd. Because it looks messy in the days. It's getting out of bed when you don't want to. It's sitting down at your desk when you're tired. It's pounding your head into a wall one more time. It's ugly. It's unimpressive. But it works.
Quantity is a necessary precursor to quality. You cannot create once and hope for it to be perfect. You have to create a lot. Every single day.
I recently came across a story in Art & Fear that I love:
A ceramics teacher split a class into two groups. One would be graded on the quantity of their output, the other would be graded on the quality of their output. On the final day, the first group would have their total output of pots weighed, while the second group would have one pot judged.
When grading day arrived, something fascinating happened:
"The works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the 'quantity' group was busily churning out piles of work—and learning from their mistakes—the 'quality' group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."
Quality is a byproduct of quantity. Violent consistency. That's the real recipe.
Watch a team of humanoid robots running a full 8-hr shift at human performance levels. This is fully autonomous running Helix-02 https://t.co/IdZR0T1F5I
@MatthewBerman Simpler execution, Openclaw when on the go, and cowork scheduled tasks for everything else. Give them access to the same files. It has worked well and cut my token usage down 80%+
There is a stunning place in Brooklyn designed as a campus for creators & entrepreneurs
It's called The Lighthouse
Apparently, it has a podcast studio, library, screening room, bar, coffee shop, music studio, rooftop, workspaces, etc.
I've never been, nor am I affiliated with them, but it looks beautiful, and I'm happy to see more aesthetic spaces created for creative professionals.
I'd love to visit!
Covid was a major accelerator for AI. It pushed us to having the majority of our meetings virtually. Those meetings provide all the rich context we need to automate. Interesting
Computer use is now in Claude Code.
Claude can open your apps, click through your UI, and test what it built, right from the CLI.
Now in research preview on Pro and Max plans.
@CohenSite@benjamintink I've gotten strong results with a simple "make this photorealistic and more lively" prompt. Not perfect but good and fast. This is for one of our recent projects.
