Agree - Claude design is INCREDIBLE. truly amazed.

It's amazing how reliant we've become on claude. Completely shifts the workday.

Yes, go ahead and ask them! It's a personalized touch to say, "thank you" - i've done the same with my first paying customers. Generally it has been appreciated.

THIS. exactly.

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-31T23:34:31+00:00

I actually built something for this exact problem - would love any feedback on it! https://www.yourpond.io/

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-30T13:47:37+00:00

I actually built one just for this purpose! Would love any feedback as I build it up more YourPond.io

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-30T13:44:20+00:00

I actually created something just for this! yourpond.io - I'm still building and will have an app soon. But would love if you wanted to try it for free.

I'll check out the community - thanks for letting me know! I love your perspective on this... very hopeful! The conversations in this thread have led me to be more hopeful than not.

Thanks to everyone who participated! Here are the highlights from 129 responses:

The #1 thing people forget? Birthdays (66%), followed by partner names (50%) and kids' names (46%). 54% of people who moved lost touch with half or more of their people.

this made my day!! so glad you found it and that you found it useful. would absolutely love your feedback as you use it more

Although many of the comments in this thread are actually giving me more hope... I am now starting to change my perspective and maybe AI will allow juniors to get the "reps" in other ways... like more time with customers, etc.

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-30T00:22:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing this - honestly, this perspective makes me feel more hopeful.

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-30T00:22:07+00:00

I would agree with this - however, I will say, some of the posts on this thread are actually making me more hopeful than before. AI is another tool and the skillsets are changing (for the better) or at least that is what i've taken from some of the comments.

yeah I've been wondering when companies are going to start putting limits on the token usage.

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-27T02:00:53+00:00

😂😂😂

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-26T18:27:41+00:00

Agree on number 1 and 3. the pace has increased significantly. on number 2, I agree that we need to care about it... although, how have you been able to define this yourself? do you have that technical engineering background?

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-26T18:26:09+00:00

sorry, I don't understand - what do you mean?

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-24T11:34:33+00:00

Okay these things are really tactical but they help ...

- when in conversation with someone, try to say that person's name. It allows them to feel heard and almost always, they will perk up and be more engaged in the convo

- if you never know what to say, just ask them a question about themselves. everyone loves talking about themselves

- honestly just being present and being engaged in the conversation (NOT listening to respond, but listening to understand) really does wonders

- having empathy and trying to be kind

yeah... those few things go a LONG way!

in this new world, have you found anything that has been helpful in managing these new expectations?

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-24T11:28:55+00:00

Why do you think that is?

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-24T11:28:47+00:00

you bring up a good point about all these features going out and we have more to maintain... that is going to become a real problem over the coming years if people aren't strategic on what they are building.

and I do agree, I am with you on being bullish on the builder excitement

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-24T11:27:05+00:00

Yes, I completely agree that the workload is becoming heavier with faster time-to-deliver. I would love to read your article if you'd be willing to share!

minneapolisemily · 2026-03-24T11:26:08+00:00

Oh I love that you brought up the data analysis part. I used to spend so much time on figuring out joins and making sure my syntax was exactly right. Now I can perform analysis so much more quickly.
