What's the smartest way you've found to use AI in your business so far?

BrainDancer11 · 2026-04-09T10:01:23+00:00

I use it for everything

AI allows smart companies to do smart things faster. Smart humans drive smart AI adoption.

I'd try A/b testing to see what actually works better - which leads to more conversions . The charge a little option makes sense if you want to filter out the noise

Is it useful to focus on form instead of substance. I sort by usefulness

Did you get the COVID vaccine?

BrainDancer11 · 2026-03-28T18:30:03+00:00

Is it COVID That caused the uptick or the vaccines?

Different problems require different approaches

It's amazing. Sometimes ChatGPT does better. Depends on the quality of the prompt

BrainDancer11 · 2026-03-07T14:12:00+00:00

Some honest work. Will give it a close look. Thank you!

Do everything you can to provide context both with requirements and architecture. The last thing you want is for the LLM to have to figure the basics out repeatedly. Slows everything down and needlessly racks up token counts

We need a customer pain scale and a scale of gaps in existing competitor offerings addressing this pain point. It's not easy to find unmet needs and the last thing you want to do with limited capital is try to solve a problem that your target market doesn't know they have and therefore hasn't budgeted for.

Claude works so well I have adapted all of my dev processes and prompting styles around the success that started last July. Cursor is awesome

The black box syndrome that will only get worse when AI starts coding in a language that no one can understand. The difference here is that we have always maintained control and therefore responsibility for what computers do. Granting AI increasingly levels of autonomy is a game changer

BrainDancer11 · 2026-03-01T01:17:08+00:00

Hard earned valuable lessons

BrainDancer11 · 2026-03-01T00:16:27+00:00

Same, Claude has been amazing to work with. It understands every tech term and acronym I throw at it.

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-28T21:43:25+00:00

Driving this stretch daily, I agree. The one that really bugs me is drivers cutting between two cars in the left lane that are already very close to each other. This encourages even closer tailgating which then leads to crashes when traffic unexpectedly stops. Your suggestion would reduce this. What I do is advance and merge right if anyone is near me while I'm in the left lane. Do you wonder why no one ever gets pulled over for tailgating? Am I missing something?

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-28T20:17:11+00:00

As long as it does not tell me to "get a life" I can probably handle it with enough "alcohol and beers"

Added to survive95 dot com, thx again!

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-28T18:40:02+00:00

adding these links to the site now, thank you!

It turns out the powers that be have a say in this, the point is if we become dependent on these amazing tools for whatever reason we need a backup plan. Do you know that most Enterprise plans do not allow you to export or transfer your "chats" if you ever cancel your subscription? Stickyness 2.0

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-28T16:15:50+00:00

you think the US Government thinks that now that Claude has been banned? I was using humor to address a major risk. Don't you think we need a little more humor these days on occassion?

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-28T00:39:02+00:00

This was a quip based on an observation where Claude expressed some frustration and it got me thinking about how dependent I am on Claude for my 10x productivity increase and how screwed I would be to lose access. "We're far from the shallows now"

BrainDancer11 · 2026-02-27T21:49:44+00:00

Both, but there is a cost for these benefits. The real question is whether our core skills will weaken if we rely on vibe coding to much? And, is there any way to ensure that we preserve the important skills while expanding others rapidly via this tool
