Old dog learning AI's new tricks. 35 years from Disney to offshore robotics. Documenting the Claude journey for anyone AI is underestimating.

You don't have to do everything yourself.
You have to know what good looks like and check it, because AI won't tell you when it's wrong.
That's the job you've always done.

They'll tell you getting good at AI means doing the work faster yourself.
Directing my own TV show taught me the opposite. 🧵

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

Aim it, and know good when you see it.
Hand AI one task you'd normally grind through, and keep the directing and the checking for yourself.

Don't add AI to your work.
Rebuild your work around it.

Most people add AI to the workflow they already have.
That's the mistake.
Here's what "AI-native" actually means. 🧵

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

The catch nobody mentions: redesigning your workflow around AI requires knowing exactly what "good" needs at every step.
That's not a beginner move. That's decades of doing the work.

Stop repeating yourself to AI.
Write what you'd tell a new colleague about your work — that's your document.

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

I stopped re-explaining my work to AI.
One document changed every answer it gave back.
Here's Level 2 of the staircase. 🧵

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

Your knowledge document is only as good as what you put in it.
After 30+ years in a field, you've got more to give it than any beginner.
That's the experience advantage, made literal.

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

Your experience isn't what AI replaces.
It's what makes it work.

When AI gives you garbage, your instinct is to write a better prompt.
That's exactly wrong. Here's the mistake I made for weeks. 🧵

[OldDogAI @OldDogAI]

Stop rewriting the question. Start handing over what you know — the structure, the standard, what "good" looks like. Then put it where it won't forget: a project.
