Encountered a lot of errors with Claude regularly missing explicit instructions. Net result - one learns how to create an iron clad system that stops Claude from messing up.
Built two custom Wordpress sites from zero with Claude chat. From positioning to architecture to design to brand guidelines to wireframe to Wordpress. Took me about two weeks. Had zero prior experience in html/coding etc. Next tried Cowork - site live in 4 hours. #claude
Plus on chat I had multiple checkpoints and verifications set up at every step. Pushed back a lot - and painstakingly crafted every page to get a design system going.
One of the most interesting exercises I did recently was to prune my phone contact list. I painstakingly went through 1600 plus and began deleting. People who have passed. People I have not been in touch with for years. People who never mattered or don’t really matter anymore in your life. Delivery agents who called asking for location. Drivers I engaged in a trip in another city years back. Shop numbers from a city I don’t live in any more. Bank managers and RMs who changed within months. Blocked numbers. And so on and so forth. I deleted 500 plus. Still stuck with more than a 1000. I don’t think I will call more than a 100 in the remaining years of my life. I don’t think they will call me either. But they live on in my phone book. Maybe I will do this exercise again in a few weeks and see if I changed my mind about a few of them.

Very saddened to hear about #UshaBhandarkar. I will always remember her as this wise, firm, kind rockstar old lady who decided to sort of mentor me, a first time agency creative lead with an extremely challenging job on hand in the Lintas group. Usha was always up for a conversation over a cup of coffee/tea and helped me maintain a level head at my work. RIP Usha. Knowing you was an absolute privilege.
What happens when we begin forgetting birds & their names? We run the risk of an impoverishment- in real lives & our imagination.
The Roller, the Palapitta, the Neelkanth, is not doing so well.
Let us not forget and let us act for these birds. #indiaves

@GooglePayIndia Unable to make payments from HDFC account. Keeps saying set up UPI pin. When I try to do this, says error. This on an account I have been using for years now. No issues with other banks. Only with HDFC.
@Meta has lost it with its automated verification and community standards. On @instagram it seems I am a legit human being. But on @facebook I am not. Keeps locking me out. 3rd time I have tried to create an account and that too only to handle Meta Business Suite better. Each time it blocks my account a day after creation. And that too inspite of uploading valid ID. And there is no way to mail any one for any reconsideration. Ridiculous.
That’s all you get. One match a picture to prove you are a human and then this. After this no reply except that you lose access to the account for good.
This is an issue not just with lorries but all vehicles and not just on Nice road but most highways and toll roads in Bangalore. People overtake from the left lane because cars in the right lane move slow and won’t give pass. No traffic rules are followed because either people don’t know basics or simply don’t follow them.
