BONUS: How AI Took the Boring Out of Agile Coaching—Where Scrum Masters Should Actually Start, With Michael Dougherty Today we speak with Michael Dougherty — "Agile Mike" — about how a 30-year veteran of solution development and product leadership made AI a working part of his Agile coaching practice. Michael walks us through the journey from early ChatGPT curiosity, to documentation as the first real win, to the personal-passion project that built his comfort with the tools, and finally to where every Scrum Master should start: the retrospective. From Curiosity to Toolbox: A Slow Burn That Started With User Stories "I tried, and I thought it sucked at that. I'd rather write this by hand."   Michael's AI journey started in late 2022 with ChatGPT — like most coaches, he tried to make it write user stories and acceptance criteria. It didn't work. The output wasn't usable, and he went back to writing them by hand. What looks like a failure was actually the first lesson: not every coaching task is a good fit for AI, and the way to find out is to try. He kept experimenting in the background through 2023 and 2024 — Claude, Grok, Perplexity — while keeping personal use and business use cleanly separated. The real shift came at the Department of Homeland Security, where he sat alongside ex-Googlers, ex-OpenAI people, and an Anthropic alumnus on the team building DHS's internal chatbot. Watching what AI could do inside a heavily-protected enterprise environment changed his frame: this wasn't a productivity hack anymore, it was infrastructure. The Boring, Tedious, Now Quicker: Documentation as the First Real Win "AI has taken all those boring, tedious tasks and made them quicker, more valuable, and more fun to boot."   The first AI practice that stuck was documentation — the part of Agile coaching nobody enjoys but every client demands. Michael had spent years writing SDLC docs from blank pages, and his co-author on Shift: From Product to People used to look at empty docs and ask for help getting started. AI removed that blank-page problem. He'd give the model the team context, the client's documentation requirements, and a template — and get a draft to edit. He stayed in the loop as the human, bringing context, judgment, and final shape, but he no longer started from zero. The same shift happened with presentations: instead of fighting PowerPoint spacing, he tells the AI to drop content into a template and gets back a formatted deck. Small tasks, but multiplied across a coaching week, they bought back real time. The Personal Project Trick: Find Something You Love First "Find something you have a passion with, something you really enjoy. That made me feel comfortable with AI so I could do more."   Michael's strongest advice for coaches who feel intimidated by AI isn't to start at work — it's to build something for yourself, in a domain you care about. His own example: the Nordic Metal Tour Tracker, a personal AI agent for tracking heavy metal bands across Northern Europe (and Spain and Portugal). It plays music. It maps tours by country. It exists purely because he loves heavy metal. The trick isn't the tool — it's that working on something he actually cared about removed the fear and built the muscle memory. Once the comfort was there, transferring it to work became a small step instead of a leap. He references the rundown AI as a daily input that keeps him aware of how others — even people in their 80s — are using AI for everything from gardening to balanced school lunches. A Week With Preppy Paul: Agents, Connectors, and the End of Inbox Drudgery "Preppy Paul gives me a list of all my meetings today and the top three items I should have on each one — based on my notes, my email, my calendar."   Michael's current weekly routine looks nothing like his Agile coaching week from three years ago. He works at Zion Cloud Solutions as a Tier 1 Google AI partner, splitting time across three roles: about 20–30% traditional Agile project management (coaching a Scrum Master on a state of Illinois project), and the rest as an AI Growth Engineer and AI delivery lead on short 4–6 week projects with 3–5 person teams. The backbone is Google Gemini Enterprise — a platform that lets him run Claude, ChatGPT, or any major model behind enterprise protection (Model Armor, the SAIF framework). Inside it, connectors pull in Gmail, Outlook, Calendar, Confluence, Jira, Slack, Teams, monday.com, and thousands of other tools — each agent inherits only the permissions the user already has. A few practical patterns he runs every week:   Preppy Paul — an agent that prepares him for the day's meetings, pulling top topics per meeting from his notes, email, and calendar. Meeting-to-email — AI records and summarises every meeting, and he asks the agent to draft updates to specific team members directly from the summary. LinkedIn drafts in his voice — hashtags, formatting, and tone all match his style; he edits lightly and posts.   The pattern across all of these: the agent isn't replacing the work. It's removing the friction between the meeting and the next conversation. The Retrospective: The Best Place for Every Scrum Master to Start "Don't have it be the same darn Jira spreadsheet of the same darn three questions every time. Go to AI and eat your heart out with it."   When pushed for one thing a Scrum Master could try tomorrow morning, Michael was clear: the retrospective. It's the one Scrum event where creativity is usually welcome, where format experimentation has a low cost, and where teams are already expecting something new. Ask AI for retrospective formats that fit the team's current situation — review five or ten options, pick one, run it. The signal you watch for within a week is double: how many improvements the team generated, and how many of them actually got done. The simpler signal is the team's reaction. If at the end someone says "that was fun" — and then you tell them you used AI to design the format — you've shown the team what AI is good for without a single slide or framework. It's the smallest possible experiment with the largest possible upside. Experiment Like a Scientist, Not a Spectator "Don't be afraid of it. Try whatever you can with it. Have the viewpoint of a scientist."   The trap Michael sees most coaches falling into is curiosity without commitment — reading about AI, watching demos, talking about it, but never building anything. His framing is the opposite: be a scientist. Run experiments. Some will fail (his user-story attempt did). Some will quietly become essential (documentation did). The way to find out which is which is to keep trying, in low-stakes contexts, with both personal projects and small work experiments. The coaches who'll be useful to their teams in 18 months aren't the ones who can describe AI accurately — they're the ones who've built enough small things to know what AI is bad at, what it's surprisingly good at, and where the human in the loop has to stay.   About Michael Dougherty   "Agile Mike" has over 30 years of experience with solution development and product leadership, working in nearly every IT role that exists and literally hundreds of companies during his career.

Waziri Garuba, creator of G.R.I.O.T and CEO of HarlemLabs, talks about how he was inspired by the limitations of Siri and where the name for his custom AI persona, G.R.I.O.T, comes from. He  integrates several platforms including n8n.io, 11 Labs, Vercel, and it can be integrated with an LLM of choice, including Claude. The system operates using an agentic workflow where a central brain assesses inputs via webhooks. Incoming queries are classified into four categories: direct, tools, complex, or schedule-based to determine the appropriate routing. He explains how his agent can talk to the platforms. The First Automation Waziri describes how he built his first automation which was an auto email response maker designed to monitor Gmail every minute. The agent reviews unread messages and drafts responses in his specific writing style while logging actions in a spreadsheet. His current evolved system uses a contact map to identify known contacts and manages inbox organization through classification and labeling. Tracking Health and Fitness Waziri talks about how he uses G.R.I.O.T in his personal life. He calls it G.R.I.O.T in the Garage. Waziri utilizes a Notion database to track health reports and personal fitness goals. The G.R.I.O.T agent can access this data to design customized workouts and automatically add them to his calendar. He demonstrates how the agent can interact with his calendar to move appointments or set reminders based on terminal tasks. The Technical Landscape Waziri explains how G.R.I.O.T can integrate with many tools and finds the best tool for the job. The technical landscape consists of specialized sub-agents for platforms like Airtable, Google Drive, Monday, and Notion. These agents act as "appendages" that handle specific tasks such as searching files or managing relational databases. Waziri utilizes Tavily, an AI-driven search tool used by developers. It operates like Perplexity to help the agents find real-time information. Mobile Accessibility Waziri  interacts with G.R.I.O.T through Telegram, allowing him to send voice memos while on the go at the gym or traveling. This mobile interface enables him to delegate research, schedule follow-ups, or draft emails using simple spoken commands. He prefers Telegram over other messaging apps because it offers easier integration with n8n for building custom workflows. He explains how it helps him manage his emails, both incoming and backlog, and newsletters. The Finance Tools A dedicated suite of finance tools helps Waziri manage debt, income tracking, and expense reporting through QuickBooks and Google Sheets. The system implements a behavioral mechanism to automate saving ten percent of incoming funds into a separate account. One specific agent provides regular reports on interest rates for student loans and credit cards to help prioritize debt repayment strategies. Professional Services Waziri serves CEOs and high-level executives by helping them map out their operational needs before implementing AI tech stacks. He offers an eight-week course called the Operators Map at theoperatorsmap.com to teach governance and automation design. His business engagements focus on helping operators transition from manual processes to efficient, automated systems through HarlemLabs.com.

SaaStr 875: Who Owns Your Data Now? Agents vs. System of Record, ServiceTitan vs. Podium, Headless Salesforce, and Agentic Renewals on The Agents #013 The agents are writing data faster than any human ever could - and systems of record aren't ready for it. This week on The Agents, Jason and Amelia dig into the biggest meta-theme of 2026: what happens when your AI agents become the primary user of your CRM, your MAP, and every other system you've built your business on? Together, they unpack the ServiceTitan vs. Podium blowup, where an agentic lead gen tool slowly became a competing system of record until ServiceTitan shut them off with 30 days' notice, and why this is just the first of many fights like it coming across SaaS. Then Amelia pulls back the curtain on how SaaStr actually runs Salesforce headless through 10K, what it means that their agents have written 40 gigabytes of data into Salesforce without either of them logging in, and why the storage math is going to force a reckoning for every vendor jacking up API prices right now. Plus: the renewal agent Amelia built that generates a fully custom, hyper-personalized pitch deck for every single customer, using headless Salesforce, Gamma, social data, podcast mentions, and Gmail. And why Clay plus ZoomInfo plus Cowork turned out to be the best enrichment stack their agents have found yet. If you're building on top of systems of record, selling to companies that are, or just trying to figure out how agents change the economics of SaaS data, this one is essential listening.

What would change if a customer could return three days later through a different channel and continue the same conversation without repeating a single detail? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Paul Adams, Chief Product Officer at Fin, the company previously known as Intercom. Paul has spent almost 13 years with the business and provides a candid account of how it abandoned its previous roadmap, placed a company-wide bet on AI, and rebuilt its products and working practices around AI agents. Our conversation begins with Fin's move from a customer service agent toward what Paul calls a single customer agent. The idea is that customers do not care whether their request belongs to sales, service, or customer success. They want the company to understand their situation and help them complete the task. Paul explains how AI agents can bring customer history, company knowledge, operational data, and business goals into the same conversation. This could allow an agent to resolve an issue, support a purchase, recognize a valuable customer, or transfer the conversation to a human without losing the context already provided. We also examine the economics behind poor customer service. Many companies are not ignoring customers through a lack of concern. They are receiving volumes of requests that cannot economically be handled by adding people alone. Paul says some Fin customers are resolving between 70 and 90 percent of customer queries through AI. Rather than seeing entire teams disappear, he is observing employees move into customer success, knowledge management, AI supervision, and higher-touch services. The episode also provides an unusually candid account of what it took to rebuild an established SaaS company around AI. Paul describes the process as brutal. Strategies were discarded, familiar processes were removed, and some people decided the new direction was not for them. His advice is to prioritize speed, place smaller experiments in front of real customers, and learn from evidence rather than waiting for every internal condition to become perfect. Paul also recalls working on early versions of mobile YouTube and Gmail when colleagues questioned whether anyone would watch video or answer email on a phone. Those stories provide a timely warning about judging new technology by its early limitations. Could AI agents finally give customers continuity across sales, service, and support, or will internal company structures remain the greater obstacle? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

We spent much of the last school year discussing the changes in education and the uncertainty surrounding the federal Department of Education. Beyond the policy debates and headlines are real families trying to navigate very real questions about their children's futures. For families of children with special needs, those questions can feel especially overwhelming: What happens after high school? How do we plan for adulthood? What financial, legal, and practical decisions need to be made—and when? Today, we're shifting the conversation from what is happening in education right now to what families need to plan for the years ahead. Mary McDirmid joins us to share both her professional expertise and her personal experience as a mother of a child with special needs.Mary McDirmid is a financial planner and the mother of two daughters, the youngest of whom is ten and has special needs. As her own family encountered the complexities of planning for their daughter's future, Mary recognized how difficult it can be for families to know where to begin—and how much they need someone who understands both the financial and personal sides of special needs planning. That experience led her to focus her work on helping other families navigate these challenges through All Needs Planning, where she provides specialized planning and support for families at every stage of life.Show Highlights:Understanding how a diagnosis changes everything for a familyAfter simply surviving from birth to age 3, a family focuses on IEPs for the school years; next comes graduation, which is a big question mark. (“Now, what?”)Simply staying home all day is NOT the best choice.The one question that alerts you to the groups that are right for your special needs child in the post-education yearsFinding what benefits are available to pay for servicesThe importance of community and connection for families with the shared experience of a child with a rare diseaseMary's work with families includes finding/applying for benefits and structuring special needs trusts, accounts, and estate planningHow to think about naming people who can replace you in the future (Think of a five-year plan. You can reset it later.)Simply creating a special needs trust is not enough.NOW is always the best time for planning.Immediate steps for parents to take now: figure out the years your child has left in school, take inventory of the planning you have in place, and determine what is missingMary's easy trick to save digital documents related to your child and their care (Get them a Gmail account!)Resources:Connect with Mary McDirmid: Website and book, Care, Protect, Grow.Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org.Thank you for listening!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to the show to receive every new episode delivered straight to your podcast player every Tuesday.

What if the encrypted traffic flowing across the internet right now (emails, files, logins) is already being quietly collected and stored by someone waiting for the day they can finally crack it open? That's the threat behind "harvest now, decrypt later," and it's closer than most people think. Ron Eddings sits down with Michael Fasulo, Senior Director of Portfolio Marketing at Commvault, to talk about where post-quantum cryptography (PQC) really stands in 2026. They discuss "harvest now, decrypt later," the specific industries quietly racing to prepare, and why a commercially viable quantum machine might only be four years away.  Ron and Michael trace the journey from a 1998 hack to today's quantum race, and the good news is there's still time to get ahead of it. Listen to hear where the real opportunity is, and how to start building your defense today. Impactful Moments 00:00 - Introduction 01:40 - Rewind: the 1998 Deep Crack story 04:10 - Michael Fasulo and the current state of post-quantum cryptography in 2026 05:05 - Harvest now, decrypt later: do people really have the storage to do this? 06:10 - Where is this actually happening?

Blaine Billingsley is a Member of Technical Design Staff at OpenAI whose path into the field ran through music composition, spare-change website work at college, and a decade across Gmail, Airbnb, YouTube and Slack. At OpenAI he was hired to work on Presence, then redirected to solve a more immediate problem: making ChatGPT genuinely useful as a daily tool for designers. Working with a single engineer, he built the ChatGPT product design plugin — a bridge between the raw power of Codex and the day-to-day workflow of product teams. In this conversation with Randy Silver, he talks about what design actually means when your interface is a text box, why volume beats perfection in an age of infinite iteration, and why the fundamentals of good product thinking are more durable than the tools used to apply them.Key takeaways— The designer's job at an AI company has shifted from pixels to outputs. Deciding what "good" looks like, building the criteria to evaluate it, and heuristically assessing results is now a core part of the role — one that didn't exist in the same form at Gmail or Slack.— LLMs don't replace structured creativity techniques; they scale them. The crazy eights exercise squeezes eight ideas from a room of people in eight minutes. A well-directed ChatGPT session can return 80 in the same window, alone, while you're at lunch.— Volume beats perfection. The best way to make a pot isn't to try to make the best pot — it's to make a thousand pots. That logic now applies directly to prototyping: generate at scale, stay unattached, and find the nugget in the noise.— Evals are closer to synthetic user research than quality assurance. The hardest part isn't building the rubric — it's correctly anticipating what people will actually try to do. Show it to one more person and your assumptions will immediately break.— The second 80% problem hasn't gone away. Getting to a working prototype is dramatically faster; getting that prototype to production is still gruelling — and becomes harder still when platform direction shifts mid-sprint.— Small teams with AI assistance need to protect the rituals that keep them aligned. When two people can each produce a week's worth of work in an afternoon, parallel drift becomes the real collaboration risk.— Role boundaries are dissolving, but specialisations still matter. The question is less "what is your title" and more "what does the band need right now, and can you play that part?"— Experience brings judgment; freshness brings juice. The best work often comes from junior designers unconstrained by years of accumulated assumptions — and both things need to be in the room.Chapters (00:00) Introduction(01:14) Blaine's background: from music composition to product design (02:32) What design means at OpenAI (04:21) The ChatGPT product design plugin (06:12) Deciding what to build: the early exploration (10:05) Structured creativity and LLM-powered ideation (13:37) Volume over perfection: the thousand pots approach (16:13) Designing as a two-person team (20:29) What is the job now? (23:33) Evals as synthetic user research (27:08) Testing at scale when you can't know your users (30:15) How they actually did the research (33:01) The second 80%: from prototype to production (35:06) Staying aligned without roadmaps (38:19) Demo: the product design plugin (44:52) When a prototype isn't ready to ship (48:26) Design sprints, reimagined (49:27) Advice for joining an AI-first product team (52:17) The jazz analogy: experience, freshness and your role in the band Featured LinksChatGPT for Work: https://openai.com/chatgpt Codex: https://openai.com/codex Figma: https://figma.com FigJam: https://www.figma.com/figjam Linear: https://linear.appOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

AI-systeem Gemini van Google heeft 1 miljard maandelijkse actieve gebruikers bereikt, meldt Alphabet-topman Sundar Pichai op X. Volgens Pichai is het daarmee het snelst groeiende Google-product ooit en het veertiende product van het bedrijf dat de mijlpaal haalt. De prestatie komt terwijl Google onder druk staat door vertrekkende AI-kopstukken, en ook Spotify neemt maatregelen tegen met AI gegenereerde muziek. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Ter vergelijking: ChatGPT van OpenAI bereikte die grens al in juni. Andere Google-diensten zoals Zoeken, YouTube, Gmail en Maps zitten er ook al op, maar deden er veel langer over. Gemini haalde de mijlpaal in enkele jaren tijd. De teller telt alleen mensen die de chatbot zelf openen of via de telefoon met Gemini praten; gebruik van Gemini als AI-systeem in andere Google-producten telt niet mee. Volgens Google praat 63 procent van de gebruikers met hun stem tegen de AI en worden er dagelijks 150 miljoen afbeeldingen gegenereerd. Ook op iOS heeft de app zo'n 100 miljoen gebruikers. Vertrek van AI-kopstukken bij Google De mijlpaal komt in een periode van personele wisselingen aan de AI-top van Google. Jeff Dean, ooit begonnen als werknemer nummer dertig en 27 jaar bij het bedrijf, vertrekt. Demis Hassabis, de CEO van AI-divisie DeepMind en nobelprijswinnaar, gaat zich richten op langetermijnonderzoek en wordt als operationeel leider opgevolgd door Koray Kavukcuoglu, tot voor kort technisch directeur. De aandelenkoers van Alphabet daalde na de aankondiging. Bij zakelijke gebruikers, zoals mensen in finance of programmeren, is Google's AI minder in trek, terwijl Anthropic en OpenAI deze zomer wél nieuwe modellen uitbrachten en een nieuwe versie van Gemini uitblijft. Kavukcuoglu gaat de ontwikkeling van Gemini 4 leiden en rapporteert rechtstreeks aan Pichai. Spotify labelt met AI gegenereerde artiesten Spotify gaat met AI gegenereerde artiesten aanduiden met een label 'AI Persona', dat vanaf half september op profielen verschijnt. Artiesten kunnen sinds deze week zelf via Spotify for Artists aangeven dat hun profiel geen echt persoon voorstelt. Spotify vertrouwt niet alleen op die zelfaangifte: het bedrijf gaat profielen ook zelf beoordelen, met tools en mensen, en labelt profielen waarvan de publieke identiteit fotorealistisch met AI gegenereerd lijkt. Het label gaat over de identiteit van de artiest, niet over hoe de muziek is gemaakt. Als AI gelabelde profielen komen niet meer terug in de aanbevolen muziek en in de door Spotify samengestelde lijsten. Artiesten die menen onterecht als AI te zijn bestempeld, kunnen bezwaar maken tegen het label. Google's Gemini-app groeit naar 1 miljard maandelijkse gebruikers Sundar Pichai kondigt mijlpaal aan met gebruikscijfers over voice en beeldgeneratie Google worstelt in AI-strijd na vertrek van AI-kopstukken Jeff Dean vertrekt en Hassabis wordt chairman bij Google DeepMind Spotify gaat AI Persona-profielen labelen en uit aanbevelingen weren Spotify introduceert nieuw label voor met AI gegenereerde artiestidentiteiten Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor. Je hoort hem dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio over het belangrijkste technieuws, van AI tot cybersecurity en social media tot quantumcomputers.

In this week's episode, I share a few tips for writing effectively and politely in a public space like a coffee shop, library, waiting room, or similar location. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Exile series at my Payhip store: SUMMEREXILE The coupon code is valid through August 24, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 315 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August the 7th, 2026 and today I am sharing tips for writing while in public in places such as a coffee shop, a waiting room, or a library. We will also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. First off, let's start with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Exile series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is SUMMEREXILE and this coupon code will be valid through August the 24th, 2026, so if you need a new ebook to read this summer, we have got you covered. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. Now for an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I am very nearly done with Cloak of Frost. In fact, I'm so close to being done with Cloak of Frost, I am hoping (if all goes well and the creek doesn't rise), to finish it this afternoon after I finish recording this episode. So after you finish listening to this episode when it goes live, go check out your nearest ebook store for Cloak of Frost because hopefully it should be working its way through the platforms and be available then. Once Cloak of Frost is finished and published, my next main project will be Blade of Visions, the sixth book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. I am currently 17,000 words into that. If all goes well, I am hoping to have that book out sometime in September. I'll need a new secondary project since Blade of Visions is getting promoted from secondary project. So my new secondary project will be Elven-Warlock, the seventh book in the Half-Elven Thief series. That hopefully will be out sometime in October, again, if all goes well. In audiobook news, we have a couple different audiobook things to discuss. Dragon-Mage, the sixth book in the Half-Elven Thief series (as narrated by Leanne Woodward) should now be available at all audiobook stores. Stealth & Spells Online: Final Quest (as narrated by C.J. McAllister) should be at my Payhip store, Google Play, and Kobo as of right now, and it should be working its way through the other audiobook platforms before too much longer. Cloak Mage: Omnibus Four, which is a three-book bundle containing Cloak of Illusion, Cloak of Dragonfire, and Cloak of Embers (as narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is now available in audio as well. It's 38 hours [long] and you can get that at Audible, Apple, and Amazon. As for upcoming books, Brad Wills is working on Blade of Thieves and as of this recording, he's about halfway through it. Hollis McCarthy is working on Cloak of Worlds and I believe she's done with main recording and doing edits right now. So before too much longer, if all goes well, we'll have a bunch of new audiobooks for you. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:57 Tips for Writing in Public Spaces Now let's move on to our main topic this week, writing or working in a coffee shop, waiting room, library, or other public space. People often romanticize the process of writing and imagine that writers spend all day in a cozy cafe with a leather notebook and a fountain pen, sipping espresso with [chuckles] acoustic guitar music playing faintly in the background. In reality, most full-time writers don't regularly work that way. For myself, I don't generally like working in public, and I prefer either to work in my office at home or with my laptop on my couch (also at home). I only work in public spaces like coffee shops, libraries, and waiting rooms when I'm waiting for someone or don't have any other option. Because of course, real life has its demands, I do that a fair bit. I've written large chunks of most of my books in various waiting rooms while waiting on various appointments. But again, it's not my first choice. If I had total freedom to pick where I was going to work today, I would not pick a coffee shop. I would not pick the library. I would probably pick either my office or my couch with my laptop, depending on how hot the day happened to be. However, just because I don't like working in a public space doesn't mean that other people do not, and many people do love to work in public spaces like coffee shops or find it a necessity for a variety of reasons. So today we're going to go over what you should consider when working in these kinds of spaces. For many people, the benefits of working in a space like a coffee shop or a library are significant. Let's go over a few of the reasons that people might benefit from this working arrangement. Some people don't have much control over the noise or activity levels in their home environment or are experiencing a temporary issue like a power outage or home renovations. For example, this morning at about seven o'clock, a tree trimming truck pulled up directly in front of my house, so I was worried that I would not be able to record this podcast today due to chainsaw noise, but for whatever reason, they haven't started yet, so I'm hoping I can actually finish recording this episode before any chainsaw noise begins. Many people also like having a change of scenery or like getting out of the house if they primarily work from home. Some people find this helps them to feel more creative or interested in their work or feels like a reward for doing the work. Another reason is that some people also miss the social aspect of working in person and enjoying making small talk or working alongside a friend in these types of spaces. Some people, especially those who've been diagnosed with ADHD, benefit from being in a space where others are also working, even if they're not interacting with those people. It actually helps them to focus and be more productive when they can see others working. If you're interested in learning more about that, you can read about the concept of body doubling, which describes this in more detail. So with those reasons in mind, let's go over some of the appropriate etiquette for working in a public place. You might think these etiquette tips about working in an American public space are obvious, but after you spend a fair amount of time in a coffee shop, you'll see that many people never get this advice or blatantly ignore it. So let's spend some time stating what feels like the obvious, especially for people who might not be familiar with American customs and behaviors. First, if you're spending time in a business, you need to order, and if you're in America, you should at least leave a small tip. If you're staying more than an hour or so, you should probably order more than once. For example, if you're spending an afternoon working in a coffee shop, you can start with a plain coffee and then after a couple of hours order another cup or a snack. You're essentially renting their space at their expense, so you shouldn't be there all day after buying only a $2 cup of coffee (or worse yet, nothing at all). Another important factor is to have realistic expectations. Coffee shops are primarily places for people to eat and gather, so you can't be upset when people do just that. These spaces are not designed to be workspaces and you have to adjust your expectations about the noise and activity level. It might be tempting to ask that table of high school girls to be quieter or the toddler across the room to stop running about, but that's not your job and it's not appropriate of you to ask that of strangers in a place where people come for conversation. If you truly need quiet space, many libraries have designated quiet areas and larger cities usually have rentable coworking spaces designated for just working. And if you are going to the library, remember that the library doesn't cost you anything as opposed to a coffee shop or a coworking space. Also, don't hog space. If the establishment is absolutely packed and there are no available tables, it's not good etiquette to take up an entire table for hours on end. Try to choose a lower traffic shop if this is something that you regularly observe happening in your preferred one or come in outside of peak hours. Likewise, it's generally considered impolite in America to use your belongings to hold the table more than a minute or two. And if, depending on where you are in the country, if you leave your belongings at the table for too long without being there to attend them, there's a fair chance that something's going to get stolen. It's also a good idea to have some situational awareness about cords and not being a tripping hazard. If you're using a charger, make sure the cord isn't going into an employee space like the condiment bar or causing a tripping hazard for others. Likewise, make sure that your bags are also situated on the floor in such a way that others won't easily trip on them or have to step over them. Another point is no pacing. Many of us like to pace while working or thinking, but that's generally considered annoying or even unsettling and threatening in a public space like a coffee shop or a library or a waiting room. [As for] making noise, how appropriate it is to take a video or a phone call will depend greatly on your environment. Some coffee shops have many people working and it's normal there. In a small town coffee shop where the locals gather to talk about the forecast or local news or the local parade at great length, it's most likely going to be inappropriate or annoy other people. If you're taking calls or on video meetings, be sure to learn what settings on your devices and software minimize background noise and amplify your speaking voice so those on the other side of the line can hear you more clearly and not be bothered by all the noise in the background. This will also minimize how loudly you need to talk in order to be heard clearly, and a good headset can definitely help you with that. Another seemingly obvious thing that needs to be said is that you should bring headphones if you're going to be listening to music or watching videos. At my last gym (before I left for another, better gym), there was an elderly man who frequently would come to use the elliptical, put his phone on the console, and then watch various Facebook AI slop videos at maximum volume. It was really quite annoying and is part of the reason I no longer go to that gym. So don't be that person and make sure if you're listening to music while you're working in public, bring headphones. And finally, be nice. If you're spending a significant amount of time in a space like a coffee shop, it's important to be a good customer and to maintain a positive relationship with those people working there. Be polite, but don't take up the workers' time with excessive conversation. Of course, what is excessive is wholly subjective. If you're the only one there and they're totally bored, it's polite to have a little conversation but if there's 15 people in line behind you, it's probably best to move along. Clean up your messes and leave a few minutes before closing time so they don't have to kick you out. I used to work in retail many years ago, and I'm sure many of you either have worked or continue to work in retail or some form of food service and we all know that one of the most annoying things is a customer who refuses to leave when it's closing time or the guy who comes in five minutes before closing time and orders a huge meal. Don't be that guy. Now with all those etiquette points out of the way, you're ready to work. Here are some other considerations for working in this space like a coffee shop. Supplies [like] noise canceling headphones or noise reducing earplugs might be helpful for you, especially if you're sensitive to loud noises like an espresso machine being cleaned or as we mentioned before, loud conversations. A good headset if you are taking video calls might be invaluable. A privacy screen is a good idea for a laptop if you're working with sensitive information or don't want people reading over your shoulder. The most common ones are fairly inexpensive and are easy to remove when you no longer need to use it. For myself, I've never used that one, but I never look at sensitive information on my laptop in public, which we'll get to later. I suppose the only awkward thing is if someone's reading over my shoulder and I'm writing a scene like where Talembur beheads an orc with a two-handed blow and the head rolls away in a fountain of gore. That might be off-putting to people, but they shouldn't be reading my laptop screen anyway. A portable charger for your laptop and other devices might be a good idea to invest in if you're frequently working in these spaces, especially since outlet availability can be very limited. We should also talk about Wi-Fi safety. If you connect to the Wi-Fi in a public place like a coffee shop or a library, there are risks associated with that. Here are some basic things you can do to minimize your risks. Turn off auto connect to Wi-Fi and disable network discovery. That way if there are any malicious actors or devices on that network that will make it slightly harder for them to get to your laptop. Consider using a VPN to encrypt data sent from your device. Finally, more potentially sensitive tasks like shopping and online banking should wait until you're back on a more secure network. If you have a Gmail account with a two-factor authentication set up, checking your Gmail on a public Wi-Fi is probably okay. I would strongly recommend avoiding visiting any banking sites, financial sites, retirement investment sites, or shopping sites while you are on a public Wi-Fi network since there's always at least a chance someone would be able to pick up details about that from the public Wi-Fi. Another thing to consider might be groups or events where some coffee shops and libraries and other places will have events specifically for working together with a large group. If you're interested in finding like-minded people in your area, keep an eye on local events. One of the local coffee shops in my area has a writer's hour where writers are encouraged to come in and work. It also has a group that meets in the evenings during the winter to talk about writing. I mean, I've never done this myself personally, but I approve of the idea. A large city in my area frequently has occasional free silent working time meetups in a community center to accommodate people who need a quiet space to work that has free snacks and social time afterwards. So what specifically do I personally do when I need to work in public? When I work in public, I usually bring my cheapest laptop or my oldest laptop. Since I used to be an IT guy and I've been a full-time writer for a while now, I have a fair collection of older computer hardware that I really need to get rid of. One of the ones I keep around is my oldest laptop that I take out with me when I need to write in a public space. So that way, if for some reason the laptop is stolen or somehow it's damaged, like say a toddler is throwing a football in the waiting room and hits my screen dead center and shatters it. Well, annoying, but that will not be such a serious loss because it's my oldest laptop. And that way if it's stolen also, it would not be that great of a loss because it's my oldest laptop. For my concerns I mentioned earlier about Wi-Fi, I never actually connect to public Wi-Fi unless there's some sort of a pressing need like my phone isn't working, I need to look up directions for where I need to go next, that kind of thing. That's partly for security reasons like I mentioned above, and partly because having no Wi-Fi to distract me also turns out to be an excellent way to dial in and get work done. I never listen to music when I'm in public. I always listen to music or something while I'm working at home or in my home office, but I never listen to music in public just because I dislike the lack of situational awareness this brings. I mean, I don't want to be paranoid. The fact is for the most part, the United States is a very safe country. During the World Cup, you saw all these news stories about European tourists who were coming to the US for the World Cup and were worried about getting shot or getting robbed or getting blown up and then that they found that the experience was very pleasantly different from what they expected because for the most part, Americans are generally a very generous and very welcoming people. What you see on the news with the shootings and the violence and the mayhem and so forth tends to be the extreme outlier that gets exaggerated for effect for news views and news clicks. So for the most part, the United States is a very safe country. That said, mostly safe is not the same as perfectly safe, and there is still crime. The best way to avoid trouble is to make sure you're not involved or anywhere near trouble by maintaining situational awareness. So that's one reason I don't like to listen to music when I'm in a waiting room or in a coffee shop or something is because even though I'm focused on my work, I can still maintain a degree of situational awareness. So if I see something going south, I can react to it and clear the area or pay attention to a potential situation that's going on. Not that that's happened more than a few times in the decades I've been doing this, but it's still a good idea in my opinion to have a good deal of situational awareness whenever possible. Depending on the length of the wait, I usually bring my smallest laptop case I can fit my oldest laptop into, a couple of Clif bars (which are a brand of energy bar in the US, so if I'm waiting a long time and I know I'm not getting to lunch, then I can have a quick snack), and then if I need to use the restroom, I won't leave my stuff out. What I usually do is close the laptop, put it in the bag, and then take it with me to the restroom and then come back out and either take my old seat if it hasn't been taken or find a new one. That way it just minimizes the risk of theft of leaving a laptop unattended. Despite all that, I have written a fair chunk of many of my books in waiting rooms. I remember once I had to take my car in for a fairly serious repair, and I wrote something like 9,000 words of Ghost in the Winds while I was waiting for that repair. So that was a major productivity leap, and I got my car repaired and then [laughs] publishing Ghost in the Winds helped pay for that very serious car repair. So although you might not be elegantly writing poetry in a beautiful notebook like you imagined, writing in a coffee shop or a similar space can be pleasant and help you to feel a greater enjoyment or even productivity in your work. If you keep all these tips in mind, hopefully you have an enjoyable and productive experience. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

On this episode of The Pirate Street Journal on Chistopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, the trio tackled three major business stories that mainstream financial media fumbled. From Google’s record-breaking quarter to AI disrupting the legal industry and a historic merger of black-owned banks, the conversation offered a perspective that most financial journalists simply miss because they focus on companies rather than market categories. This is just one of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Google’s Negative Free Cash Flow Is Not the Story You Think It Is Google’s parent company, Alphabet, posted second-quarter revenue of $119.8 billion, up 24% year over year. Cloud revenue surged 82%, net income jumped nearly 300% to $112 billion, and the cloud backlog hit $514 billion. By nearly every rational business measure, this was a historic performance. Yet the stock fell because free cash flow turned negative for the first time in company history, prompting the Wall Street Journal to run a dramatic chart they called “Alphabet’s cash flow falling off a cliff.” What the Journal conveniently left out is that Alphabet is sitting on $242 billion in cash and marketable securities. The negative free cash flow is the direct result of Google doubling its capital expenditures to $44.9 billion in a single quarter, raising its full-year CapEx guidance past $200 billion. This is not a company bleeding out. This is a company making one of the largest strategic bets in the history of technology.   Google Is Quietly Achieving Something That Almost Never Happens For the first time in recent memory, Google Cloud’s incremental revenue growth in absolute dollar terms outpaced Google Search. Cloud added $11 billion in incremental revenue during the quarter while Search added $8.3 billion. Search is still a monster business, still growing, still one of the greatest category king positions ever built on the internet. But Cloud has crossed a threshold that very few people are talking about seriously enough. This is extraordinary because history shows that dominant category kings almost never successfully pioneer into a new category at scale. Google is refuting the Innovator’s Dilemma in real time, alongside Microsoft. Both companies are investing in AI infrastructure at a pace that reflects how massive the category potential truly is. The aggregate CapEx guidance for the Mag Seven this year sits between $700 and $750 billion, and that arms race exists because the stakes are unlike anything the technology industry has ever seen before.   Google’s Sleeper Advantage Could Define the Next Era of Consumer Technology Beyond the financial results, Google holds a strategic position that most analysts overlook entirely. The company that successfully builds a mega consumer AI agent, one that aggregates your email, calendar, messages, social activity, and daily life into a single intelligent interface, will own what Christopher calls the experience layer of AI. Google, with Gmail, Google Calendar, and its vast suite of personal productivity tools, is one of only two companies genuinely positioned to build that product. Apple is the other. What gives Google an additional edge that even Apple cannot easily replicate is YouTube. YouTube functions as the world’s largest knowledge repository, a platform where human expertise, creativity, and information accumulate at an unimaginable scale. The moment Google’s Gemini AI can perform deep inference learning on YouTube’s content library, the competitive moat becomes extraordinarily difficult to cross. Paired with the return of co-founder Sergey Brin and a CEO who appears to be operating in genuine partnership with the company’s founding vision, Google is not a company in decline. It is a company in transformation, and that is a very different thing entirely. To hear about all the topics in this week's The Pirate Street Journal, download and listen to this episode.

Google metió una especie de empleado invisible adentro de Gmail, Drive, Sheets y Calendar. Se llama Google Workspace Studio y puede leer un correo, decidir si es urgente, sacar la información que importa, cargarla en una planilla y dejarte preparada una respuesta. Todo sin programar. En este episodio lo abrimos por dentro: qué activadores tiene, qué pasos podés encadenar y en qué se diferencia de Make, Zapier o n8n. Te muestro tres flujos reales que están corriendo hoy, incluido uno que falló en la primera prueba y hubo que corregir a mano. Porque esa parte —la que casi nadie muestra— es justamente la que define si una automatización te sirve o la abandonás a la semana. La herramienta está verde. Lo que viene atrás, no. Si querés pasar de entender la IA a aplicarla en tu trabajo o negocio, conocé Pioneros IA. Origen

Venture capital is pouring into the agency world because of AI — and Jordan sits down with one of the founders at the front of that curve. Jason Hu (UChicago '22, ex-AI researcher, a16z-backed) built Nexad, an AI-native platform for marketing agencies that wraps every major model and 1,000+ integrations into one command center. They cover the three archetypes of AI adoption in agencies, a live demo of creative generation, account health audits, and bulk campaign operations, how Nexad auto-routes between models like Claude, GPT, and Kimi K3 based on daily benchmark evals — and why Jason believes agencies will thrive, not die, in the AI era.Key TakeawaysThe three AI-adoption archetypes: (1) the unfamiliar — heard the buzzwords, only ever used ChatGPT as a chat; (2) the majority — using point solutions (creative gen, one-off agents) but not chaining them into agentic workspaces; (3) the frontier — operators running 20+ agents simultaneously. Each has different pain points; the platform meets all three where they are.The "impossible to keep up" problem: New models ship weekly. Nexad positions as a wrapper and router — an internal eval system runs each new model against ~30 representative agency tasks (health checks, complex campaign ops, long-running tasks) and auto-selects the best cost/performance option daily.Real routing example: Within an hour of Kimi K3's launch, their evals found performance comparable to Claude Opus 4.8 at roughly half the cost — so mid-tier traffic was rerouted automatically. Users pick a tier (Light / Pro / Max), not a model.The agent = a marketing employee's loop: ingest inputs (client comms, ad platform data from Meta/Google/TikTok/GA4, competitor intel), process (analysis, creative generation), output (campaign changes, uploads, client-ready reports). The demo covered competitor creative teardowns, a shareable account health audit, and bulk-uploading 100 creatives to Meta.Guardrails for sensitive actions: budget or creative changes trigger explicit review-and-approve prompts and batch action review — a contrast Jason draws with running raw agents that can "go rogue" in the backend.Client context is the killer feature: the platform reads Slack, Gmail, meeting transcripts, and Drive to build persistent client context ("no logos in creatives") that agents apply automatically — over 50% of agency hours go to client communication, and this attacks that directly.Chat first, automate second: typical adoption path is playing in the chat interface, then converting proven outputs into scheduled automations (e.g., daily health check → Slack report) in about 10 seconds.The closing thesis: AI commoditizes the execution layer of agency work. What remains — and becomes the whole game — is creativity, client trust, and proprietary market insight. Agencies thrive in the AI era; they don't disappear.Resources & LinksNexad: nex.adJason Hu on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/qitian-huWork with Jordan: 8figureagency.co

OK, my survivor friends, as promised I have news. My summer has been jam-packed. This month has been even jam-packier. Let's talk about Pat's story contest story we just listened to. Again, 900 words isn't a lot to play with and I think he did a good job building a story arc into that space. It's got a beginning, middle and end. There are clear stakes and a complete character arc. I could see this story as a ClarkesWorld or Dust or Escape Pod offering. More to come - We both just submitted stories for the summer contest. The second book of the After the Apocalypse 5 novel series is finished and shipped and available anywhere you buy books. So go get it. Read it. Tell your friends. Leave a review. Let the world know that this is a great series and they won't regret engaging. But, wait! That's not all. I also built a commercial proposal in July and submitted it to publisher. The process helped me organize my thoughts and content in a form that I can reuse. So that was cool. Let me know if you're interested in seeing the proposal. It took me most of July to get the proposal prepared.But, one of the things they ask for is comparison books. Basically what are other book that have been published recently that are representative of how your book might be seen in the market and how did they perform. My knee jerk reaction was to reach for famous apocalyptic books, like The Stand, or The Road, or The Earth Abides, or The Dog Stars. But I felt like this was lazy and not a true comparison. So, I researched more contemporary post-apocalyptic fiction and found three that I'll share with you. I listened to them all on audio, because I had a deadline. All of them were available through my library on the Hoopla app. So, my friends, if you love listening to post-apocalyptic fiction, get yourself a library card and use their app to get your fill of free, high-quality fiction. The first book was A Beginning at the End by Mike Chen. It's a post-apocalyptic family drama based in current day San Francisco Area. It was ok, but a bit soap opera with a wimpy main male character. The second book was Moon of the running leaves by Waubgeshig Rice. It is written in the POV of a First Nations people in Canada searching for a new home after some sort vague systems collapse ends civilization and government. I really liked this book. Especially the audio version. It has a lyrical cadence to it. It is beautifully written. The third was The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton. I think this was the best constructed of the three. The opening chapter builds characters and stakes so well and then grabs you by the throat. The stakes are high. The story is set in a rapidly devolving Florida. The environment is reclaiming the lands. Government is failing. Humanity and our protagonists learn to adapt and evolve. These are all worth listening to. They are all deeper than just chase scenes and explosions. And now we stumble into August and I'm turning my attention to several other projects. Including helping listener Colin create a 3-episode Australian apocalypse arc that we'll start releasing in August. And Mike Darling from the Apocalypse Post wants to collaborate on a story. Anyhoo – go leave a comment on the podcast in whatever pod-catcher you're using – give Pat and Virginia some feedback. You can always poke me on the After the Apocalypse Facebook page, and if any of this patter hits you in such a way that you want to talk to me directly, just send me an email at cyktrussell at Gmail. But, before you do that, get my 2nd book, read it and leave a review. And pull your face out of the cloying, fetid mud and gaze hopefully at the burning clouds and acid flashes of lightning. Hold your gaze. And keep surviving. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#1015 Ever wonder what it takes to run a $2 million+ Etsy and Shopify empire while working just two to three hours a day? In part 1 of this two-part episode, Christina Umerez of CUOnline joins us to break down how she built a location-independent print-on-demand business — and how she's using Claude AI to automate the tedious parts that used to eat up her entire day. Christina walks through her journey from hand-drawn pet portraits on Etsy back in 2020 to scaling two separate seven-figure storefronts, and dives deep into how she's using Claude's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to handle customer service drafts straight from her Gmail and auto-generate SEO — titles, descriptions, tags, and more — for every new product she lists. She shares real numbers on the time she's saved (cutting her VA's customer service hours nearly in half), what it costs to get started, and practical tips for anyone looking to buy back their time with AI! What we discuss with Christina: + Building a $2M+ Etsy store via print-on-demand + Scaling a second Shopify store to $2M+ + How print-on-demand works (Printify, no inventory) + Testing niches with 10 designs each + Working just 2-3 hours a day + Using Claude MCPs for Gmail customer service drafts + Auto-generating SEO for Shopify listings + Claude subscription costs ($20 vs Max plan) + Cutting VA customer service hours in half + Re-prompting Claude to refine its responses over time Thank you, Christina!

They won't have plans on a Friday, and at least once or twice a month, he'll come home from work and instead of them ordering take out and watching tv, or going out to dinner, he'll say his buddy just called and he's going to meet up with him. She has a problem with this because it's not fair to have “spontaneous” nights out with friends, it leaves her alone! She says there should be a one-week rule when he's not going to be home so she can plan with her friends and not have to spend a weekend night alone. He says that's ridiculous; they didn't have plans that he broke, he's just headed out on random nights!

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross joins Nick in The Nick Standlea Show to break down how search is changing as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLMs reshape how people discover brands. They unpack what marketers, creators, and business owners need to do now to improve AI visibility, build authority across platforms like YouTube and Reddit, and create content that gets found, cited, and trusted. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. How LLMs actually build answers - Ross explains “query fan-out,” where AI tools rephrase a user's prompt into many variations and scan multiple sources at once. - Platforms like Reddit, YouTube, Quora, Yelp, and Google results all help shape the final response. - The brands mentioned most often—and with the strongest supporting signals—are more likely to appear in AI-generated answers. 2. The coffee shop framework for local AI visibility - Local businesses should align site pages and language with the exact questions customers ask. - Review signals from Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other directories strengthen trust and authority. - Encouraging real customer conversations on Reddit and other platforms can influence how AI tools perceive your brand. 3. Why YouTube is a major AI search advantage - Google has a built-in incentive to surface YouTube content because it owns the platform and monetizes attention there. - YouTube remains one of the most powerful search engines in the world and a rich source of human-led content. - Video stands out in an AI-heavy world because it delivers a stronger sense of trust, personality, and connection. 4. Gemini, personalization, and the future of search - Google may have a long-term advantage because Gemini can connect with products like Gmail, Calendar, Chrome, and more. - Search experiences are becoming more personalized, which makes traditional ranking analysis harder. - Marketers need to prepare for a world where different users may get very different answers to the same prompt. 5. How nonprofits and mission-driven brands should adapt - Start by mapping website content to the real questions your audience asks before they know your brand exists. - Build long-form, useful resources that directly address audience pain points and decision-making moments. - Combine LLM optimization with human-centered storytelling to connect both logically and emotionally. 6. The four E's of content that builds trust - Ross highlights four content goals: educational, engaging, entertaining, and empowering. - Strong brands don't just publish information—they create content people want to remember and share. - Human connection still matters, especially when AI-generated content is becoming more common. 7. Old-school customer research is the new edge The deepest marketing insights still come from direct conversations with real customers. Interview transcripts, sentiment analysis, and qualitative feedback can be turned into sharper messaging with AI. The brands that win will combine human insight with AI execution, not replace one with the other. Resources & Tools:

Calvin #1: Some more things about Django I've been enjoying Julia Evans is learning "2010-style" web dev (Django + SQL + server-rendered HTML) after years of Go backends and JS-heavy frontends Query builders: likes defining custom QuerySet classes with chainable filter methods (.approved().future().with_tags()) — more readable than raw SQL Template filters: highlights urlize, linebreaksbr, json_script, and especially querystring for building/modifying query-string links in templates Migrations: still loves Django's auto-generated migrations — 19 and counting on her project Skips inheritance for class-based views; prefers function-based views for sharing code, though fine using Django's own mixins/interfaces Performance surprise: CPU profiling (via py-spy) — not slow DB queries — revealed the culprit; she'd accidentally disabled the cached template loader, and re-enabling it took throughput from ~2-3 req/s to ~12 req/s on a $10/mo VM Michael #2: Who cleans up after the vibe-coding party? FT Magazine piece by Sam Learner (July 11) on AI coding tools overwhelming open source maintainers - sent in by listener Dylan McConnell, whose main point was that this ran in the Financial Times, not a dev blog. cURL as the case study - Daniel Stenberg has been the only full-time person on it for years; libcurl has been installed an estimated 20+ billion times with 3,000+ listed contributors. Bug bounty killed - cURL ended its paid security bounty program in January, citing an "explosion of AI slop reports" that take real time to debunk and drain morale. Extractive contributions - authoring a PR is now nearly free, reviewing one still costs a human; tldraw's Steve Ruiz closed outside contributions entirely, asking why he'd want someone else writing the easy part. Guido weighs in - van Rossum says projects are holding emergency meetings over the slop flow, and notes LLM patches tend to touch unrelated parts of a file, making review more tedious. "Vibe Coding Kills Open Source" - paper from Miklós Koren's group: packages frequently recommended by coding models saw big download jumps with no matching engagement, breaking the reputation loop that sustains maintainers. Stack Overflow flatlined - over 100,000 questions a month before ChatGPT, under 1,500 last month, with the response rate cut roughly in half; the public archive is now stale training data. The course-creator angle - Josh Comeau's newest web dev course launched at about a third of prior enrollment, and he worries about devs who never learn which questions to ask. But the most interesting portion is what was omitted. Focused on: The end of the curl bug-bounty Omitted: High-Quality Chaos Why the omission is interesting It fits a narrative. The FT piece is a maintenance-and-decline story, and January-Stenberg is a perfect witness for it. April-Stenberg complicates it - same person, same project, better data, opposite direction on the specific claim being used. The tell is already in the article. Learner quotes Stenberg saying AI tools are much better at finding problems than fixing them. That's the April thesis in one line, and it goes undeveloped. Reason for the shift is process, not vibes. Killing the bounty removed the cash incentive and the venue change filtered the rest. Worth saying out loud, because "AI reports got better" isn't quite it - "no bounty plus a real triage platform" is closer. Joke too: Sarah O'Connor wrote a related piece (is this just before skynet launches?) Calvin #3: Where Did All Your AI Tokens Go? AgentsView to the rescue!

As usual with phishing scams there are a bunch of tells that this isn't legitimate, but just enough plausibility that I could see falling for it in a weak moment. Relative nobodies like me haven't historically been worth the effort to hit with scams this specific. Agents change the game though :-/. Be careful out there folks! Original message From: "Patrick (Blacktrace)" [HTML_REMOVED] To: LISTENER EMAIL Subject: Your Bandit #1350 (B105 NextToken false positive) -- just fixed that exact case Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2026 12:02 AM Hi AJ, Saw your Bandit issue #1350 -- the B105 hardcoded-password false positive on the string NextToken. I build a deterministic gate that filters that class of Bandit noise, and #1350 was literally the case I just fixed: NextToken / next_token / page_token / nextPageToken now stay quiet, while a genuine hardcoded token like api_token="sk-live-..." still fires. Verified against your exact case. 30-second paste: https://blacktrace.co/noise-eraser Where it still trips, published: https://blacktrace.co/kruc Curious whether it clears what you hit -- and if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply. Patrick, Blacktrace I asked Claude for some analysis too. It was pretty good at finding them. The message name-drops enough real detail to feel legit, but the structure is pure phishing - everything in it exists to get AJ onto blacktrace.co. The strongest ones: Freemail sender, corporate signoff. Signs as "Patrick, Blacktrace" but sends from emailpjv@gmail.com. Real company outreach comes from the company domain, not a personal Gmail - and there's no last name. Over-specific targeting. It mirrors AJ's exact public activity - issue #1350, the B105 rule, the NextToken false positive, even the token variants. That's the "just enough plausibility" AJ flagged, and it's exactly what agents make cheap: scrape a GitHub issue, auto-generate tailored bait. Legit cold outreach rarely reads your history back to you this precisely. The entire payload is two links. Strip the technical flattery and the message is just "paste here" plus "see results here." When the whole point of an email is the click, that's the tell. "30-second paste." Low-friction urgency, and "paste" most likely means paste your source into their tool - handing your code to a stranger's site. Exfiltration dressed as convenience. Brand-new, no-reputation domain. blacktrace.co has no track record, and the name is doing some ominous work. The /kruc slug is random noise, not how real product pages get named. Precise-sounding jargon that's actually vague. "Deterministic gate," "noise-eraser" - impressive, empty. Bolted onto correct real details (B105 is the Bandit hardcoded-password test, sk-live- is a Stripe live-key prefix) to borrow credibility. The disarming close. "if it trips on something of yours, that's the more useful reply" - engineered humility that flatters your expertise and baits a response. Makes engaging feel like you're doing them a favor, which drops your guard.

Is Google losing the AI search war - or winning it? Eli Schwartz, bestselling author of Product-Led SEO joins Russ Macumber to unpack why Google's distribution edge (Android, Chrome, YouTube, Gmail) still beats anything ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can offer - and why AEO is really just SEO wearing a new hat.They cover how Reddit's data feed may shape what LLMs trust, why chasing individual AI platforms is a losing strategy, and whether AI is coming for marketers' jobs (mostly just the boring parts). Plus: real takeaways from Google I/O, an early look at AI-powered Gmail search, why prompt-tracking tools mislead brands, and the fast-approaching world of hyper-personalized search.
