In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through a step-by-step system for creating Instagram Reels using Claude — from ideation all the way through editing and scheduling. The workflow is built around two tools working together: Claude Cowork for research and editing tasks, and browser-based Claude for scripting. By the end, the goal is a repeatable content production system, not just a one-time process. Brock covers each phase of the workflow in detail: using Claude Cowork to monitor a saved Instagram folder and pipe links into a Poppy AI board for ideation, scripting with Claude, filming, editing with Claude Cowork and Remotion, and finally adding captions and scheduling the post. Whether you're a solo creator or a business owner looking to systematize your content, this episode breaks down exactly how to set it up. Watch On YouTube

22,000 LinkedIn followers to over 210,000 in just over a year. Charlie Hills did not get there by luck. He got there by reverse engineering what already works, posting with intention every single day, and building systems with AI that most people have not even heard of yet. In this second appearance on The AI Why, Liam Lawson sits down with Charlie Hills to break down exactly how he goes viral across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok, what his full content creation process looks like with Claude, and why he just launched a SaaS tool built entirely from his own workflows inside Claude Code. Stories Covered This Week: The pre-validated content strategy that got Charlie 11 million views on his first Instagram reel The CHEF framework for creating content that does not sound like AI wrote it How Charlie uses Appify, Claude Code and Gemini together to reverse engineer viral content Why organic reach on LinkedIn is dying and what to do about it Claude Code for infographics, carousels, and eventually video editing from the terminal Vislo, the branded infographic SaaS tool Charlie just launched in public beta Pattern interrupts, B-roll clarity and what actually stops the scroll on Instagram Going from 9 to 5 employee to full time creator in nine months Episode timestamps: 00:00 Intro and follower count update 01:03 How Charlie goes viral on any platform 04:01 Steal Like an Artist and pre-validated content 04:53 What structure works on Instagram reels 07:36 Speaking coach, scripting and sounding human 09:06 The full LinkedIn content creation process 10:03 Posting cadence and why twice a day backfired 12:19 The CHEF framework explained 15:07 Appify, Claude Code and scraping for content research 17:04 Claude Co-Work scheduled tasks and workflows 20:22 Going deep into Claude Code for infographics 22:06 How Claude Code memory and the MD file works 24:41 Combining Gemini API inside Claude Code for Instagram scripts 26:53 Where AI ends and humans begin in the content process 30:36 Remotion and the future of AI video editing 33:33 Over-engineering with AI and why it is addictive 35:02 The story behind Vislo, the branded infographic SaaS 40:22 Beta feedback and pricing 42:01 Done For You vs SaaS customers 43:57 Expanding beyond LinkedIn to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube 47:12 What the ideal future of work looks like for Charlie 49:12 The Mexico LinkedIn creator house with Mischa and Corey 53:03 University, failed business and the nine month grind 01:00:01 Did not leave the nine to five to earn more, but to live more 01:00:55 Why do you do what you do?

Unity AI is launched publicly. We argue Unity is now meaningfully ahead of Unreal Engine in the AI race, and explain why the next generation of artists picks tools by who is moving fastest. Blender accepted a 240,000 euro annual donation from Anthropic, then walked it back after community backlash. Remotion's new HTML in Canvas feature is now inside Codex. Then we cover Ollama landing inside the Claude desktop app which means open source models now run alongside Opus and Sonnet inside the same interface.
Why Your Amazon Dashboard Is Lying to You + Remotion & Voice Cloning Reality Check | Claude Sessions Amazon Dashboard Brain, Remotion Video & ElevenLabs Voice Cloning | Claude Sessions SEO Description Shubhash Sharma on building a data brain behind your Amazon dashboard. Danny McMillan on Remotion video and ElevenLabs voice cloning realities. Episode Summary Week 3 of the month means Claude Sessions, and Danny McMillan and Shubhash Sharma are back with a double feature for Amazon and TikTok Shop sellers building their own AI tooling. Shubhash picks up from last episode's SP API and Ads API walkthrough with a hard lesson learned the wrong way: a polished dashboard wired straight into Amazon is a window with no room behind it. The numbers will lie, and you will not know when a feed silently dies. He walks through the fix: a "brain" sitting between the data sources and the dashboard. Supabase as the long term store, pgvector for unstructured stuff like contracts and reviews, n8n as the orchestration layer. Six core domains every seller shares (orders, products, analytics, ads, finance, affiliates and creators) plus an optional documents layer. He closes with a dual write migration pattern so you can flip between old and new without taking the business offline. Then Danny turns to video and voice. Remotion looks like toy town out of the box, but with the right plugins (motion blur, transitions, captions, shapes, fonts, rendering) and Claude doing the orchestration, it becomes a serious production tool that can pull in your footage, branding and design system. On the voice side, he has tested VoiceBox and F5TTS and come back to ElevenLabs Multilingual v2 at £22 a month. The missing gap everywhere is cadence. He also names the deeper bet: as the market floods with AI generated content, authentic voice becomes the differentiator that cannot be cloned. Key Topics Why dashboards lie when wired straight into Amazon, TikTok and Shopify The "brain" pattern: Supabase, pgvector and n8n as a centralised data layer The six core data domains every seller needs (plus a 7th for documents) Dual write migration so the old system and brain run in parallel Remotion as a code based video tool, and what it needs to stop looking toy town The four layer creative workflow: brief, story skeleton, treatment, scene by scene ElevenLabs vs VoiceBox vs F5TTS for voice cloning your own voice Why cadence is the last hard problem in synthetic voice The authenticity premium in an AI flooded market Timestamps [00:00] Intro and welcome back to Claude Sessions [00:34] Shubhash kicks off: where to put the data you pulled last week [01:04] "Your dashboard is lying to you" and the polished dashboard pitfall [02:32] Dashboard is a window. The brain is the room behind it [04:54] Tech stack: Supabase (Postgres), pgvector, n8n [05:54] The six fundamental data domains [06:26] Orders, products, analytics, ads, finance, affiliates and creators [08:30] The optional 7th layer: unstructured documents via pgvector [09:44] Dual write pattern for safe migration [10:48] Three takeaways: audit, list domains, build one table at a time [12:28] Danny on Remotion: code based video and why it is toy town out of the box [13:51] What is missing: motion blur, transitions, captions, shapes, beat detection [14:54] The 80+ plugin packages that turn it into a real tool [16:56] Pulling in footage, logos, design systems and free music from Pixabay [18:30] The 4 layer creative workflow: brief, story skeleton, treatment, scenes [21:15] Voiceovers: ElevenLabs Pro setup and why the £22 is worth it [22:12] VoiceBox and F5TTS field test: garbage and 5 rounds of tuning later [23:22] Why cadence is the hardest thing for AI voice to fake [25:42] How much reference audio you actually need (30 min min, 2 hours ideal) [27:25] ElevenLabs UI parameters: speed, stability, similarity, exaggeration [28:52] The authenticity premium when the market floods with AI [30:30] Key takeaways, ElevenLabs API usage and locking in your voice once [34:24] Aside: "insane" and "most" as the new AI tells [36:31] SSL 2026 wrap, 18 days out, Ritu returns next week with Japan Key Takeaways Build a brain, not just a window. A dashboard wired straight to Amazon, TikTok or Shopify has no memory. When a feed silently fails, the dashboard happily lies. Sit a Supabase + pgvector + n8n layer in between, and your dashboard becomes a view on top of a real source of truth. Six domains cover almost every seller. Orders, products, analytics, ads, finance, and affiliates / creators. Map every place each one currently lives, then consolidate one domain at a time. Start with one table (orders) and let Claude do the heavy lifting. Use dual write when migrating. Write to the old store and the new brain in parallel for a week. Compare. Flip the dashboard's read side via a feature flag. If something breaks, flip back. Zero downtime, zero fear. Remotion is a system, not a tool. Out of the box it is bare. Add the plugins (motion blur, transitions, captions, fonts, rendering), bring your own footage and design system, and let Claude orchestrate the four layer workflow: brief, story skeleton, treatment, scene by scene. ElevenLabs Multilingual v2 still wins for voice cloning. VoiceBox and F5TTS were not close. Pay the £22, use Model 2, feed it 30 minutes minimum (2 hours ideal) of clean reference audio, and lock the setup in once. Cadence is the last mile. AI can match tone and timbre. It still cannot match the rises, falls and micro pauses that make a sentence sound like you. Use scripts split into short paragraphs, generate three variants, and tune the language you use to talk to Claude until the cadence lands. Authenticity becomes the moat. As written, visual and audio AI floods every channel, the brand voice that is unmistakably human becomes the differentiator. Do not give that away to save 22 dollars a month on a podcast. Notable Quotes "Dashboard is a window. We need a room behind the window. So the brain is going to be the room behind this window." Shubhash Sharma "If any of our SaaS went offline tomorrow, will our business still have its memory? The answer is no, because we haven't stored it. All we have is rented attention." Shubhash Sharma "When you migrate to your brain, don't rip out your old system. Use dual write. Run them in parallel for a week. If something breaks, flip it back. Zero downtime, zero fear." Shubhash Sharma "Remotion out of the box isn't great. It's almost like building some slides, just one step up. You have to build it as a system of what you need." Danny McMillan "The hardest part for AI to represent is cadence. It can get the tone of your voice. That's the easy bit. But the speed and the up and down of how you talk, that's where these models still fail." Danny McMillan "In our rush to use AI, you've got to remember the market floods with it. When everything sounds like AI, the only thing left is the authentic voice for your brand."

I sit down with Riley Brown to get a hands-on tour of OpenAI's Codex, which he argues is the most powerful single interface for using AI agents today. Riley walks me through how Codex unifies vibe coding, knowledge work, browser use, computer use, and automations into one app, all running on GPT 5.5. I come in as a complete Codex skeptic who has spent most of my time in Claude Code, and Riley shows me skills, plugins, projects, Remotion, Chronicle, and the in-app browser to make his case. By the end, the question becomes whether the era of separate tools for documents, decks, code, and research is collapsing into a single super app. 00:00 – Intro 03:23 – What is Codex 06:46 – Why a GUI beats the terminal for most users 10:13 – Codex: the all in one platform 12:48 – Atlas browser inside Codex 14:21 – Remotion explained and motion graphics workflows 19:28 – Computer use and Chronicle 22:26 – Plugins, skills, MCPs, and integrations 31:57 – Evals, examples, and good outpu 38:43 – Hard questions: who Codex is built for 40:44 – Browser use plays itself in chess 43:20 – Running Claude Code inside Codex 45:58 – GPT 5.5 cost and effort settings 48:50 – GPT Images 2.0 54:09 – Why most people feel overwhelmed by AI tools 57:09 – Three projects to start with on day one and Closing thoughts Key Points Codex is positioned as a super app where coding, documents, decks, research, and automations live in one interface, with GPT 5.5 as the underlying model. The trend across Codex, Cursor, and the Claude Code desktop app is the same GUI pattern: chats on the left, agent in the middle, output on the right. Plugins offer official integrations like Slack, Notion, Sheets, Remotion, and Canva, while skills are user-created instructions stored as a SKILL.md file. Computer use and browser use have crossed a speed threshold; the chess demo runs at near-human pace, a leap from earlier "dial-up" feeling agents. Running Claude Code inside the Codex terminal lets you stack both subscriptions and use each model where it shines. The biggest unlock for companies is collecting good examples of finished work so agents can match the bar.

You’re downloading today’s show from CacheFly’s network BackBeat Media Podcast Network Transcript Projects and Pitt-falls Gang Back Together Christina: [00:00:00] What’s that? Do you see a podcast update in your feed? Well that’s because you’re back on, on Overtired and, uh, and I’m Christina Warren and I’m joined by, uh, Jeff Severns Guntzel and Brett Terpstra. What do you know? The whole gang is back together. Overtired, everybody what Jeff: Hi everybody. Brett: I need a, we need a party sound. We need a Christina: we do. We need a soundboard. We need a soundboard and we need a, a way to be like what Gangs all here. Some sort of a like a either a a we need a horn. That’s what we need. We need one of those. Those horns they play at at at football games. Jeff: would like that very much. Brett: or that like B. Christina: exactly. Jeff: yeah, Brett: That would really wake people up. Christina: It really would. And, and especially, um, all of us. ’cause I we’re recording this earlier than we ever do. Brett’s been up for a really long time and, uh, I think Jeff is probably like raring to go, but I’m like, I, well now Jeff: raring to go, but I’m warming [00:01:00] up. Christina: Yeah, I, I, I’ve been up since like five 30, so I’m okay too, but yeah. Brett: I wrote an entire shortcuts in shortcut intense interface for my new app this morning, and it’s actually working. I’ve never written for shortcuts before. Christina: Well, Ooh, we will, yeah, you gotta talk to us more about that ’cause I wanna hear more about that. Mental Health Corner Christina: Um, but first I think we should probably do, um, because it’s been a while since we’ve all been together, we should probably do a little bit of a mental health corner. Brett: yeah, Who wants to kick that off? Okay, fine. I will. Jeff: health. Mental health. Silence. Back Pain Diagnosis Brett: I, uh, I, I, my sleep has gotten a little worse than it was before when I told you it was bad. Um, I’m, now, I’m back down to like five hours a night and I just wake up at like 2:00 AM. And like I go to bed by eight or nine and I get up at [00:02:00] 2:00 AM every morning and I just cannot, for the life of me fall back asleep. And for like the first hour I’m up, I’m not even really awake. Um, I’m just kind of sitting on the couch staring at my computer and not be, not able to do anything After about an hour. Um. I, I, I’ll get some coffee, I’ll take my meds and like then it’s kind of like most people’s, like maybe 10:00 AM 11:00 AM um, by, by like 3:00 AM but it’s still wearing me down. Um, I got, so I’ve had back pain, um, for a while now. Uh, I can’t stand up for more than about five minutes and I can’t walk for more than three to five minutes, which has really put a dent in my, um, ability to exercise. And, um, so I finally got, I got an MRI [00:03:00] done, and they. Diagnose me with stenosis, which I think is kind of a, a broad term, but like a couple of the discs in my lower back have collapsed and, um, they, they, they think I can be treated with, uh, with shots and not surgery. Um, so I’m hoping, I’m hoping to get that figured out because, okay, so right now, uh, we, we always go on walks in the wildlife refuge, um, like the wetlands refuge near us, and I love it. We, we see so much cool stuff there and I hadn’t really been able to, but what I found was this little, it’s like. Folded up, it’s like two feet tall, uh, camp chair and it, it’s like a camp stool. And so I carry that with us while we walk and then like every three minutes I’ll like have to set it up on [00:04:00] the side of the trail sit. And if I sit for two minutes, the pain goes away, I can then walk again immediately. Um, but like after, after three to five minutes, like my back freezes up and I, like, I literally, I can’t move anymore. Um, so this little, uh, take carrying a chair and doing it in three minutes stints, um, has at least allowed me to get out and get some green time. But that’s kinda where I’m at. Jeff: What does this little chair look like? Uh Brett: It’s blue Jeff: huh. Brett: and it has four legs and it’s can canvas. Jeff: is it like an adorable little camp chair that you’re supposed to be able to like Brett: I think it’s a toddler’s ch camp chair. Jeff: Excellent. This is the detail I Brett: like, it’s smaller than my butt. Like I’m perching on it, but it’s enough to like get my back, uh, into feeling. Okay. And it’s not too heavy to like carry[00:05:00] Jeff: Show art, but the art, the art is you perching. Just to be really clear. Brett: Yes. My, my 280 pounds pound perched on a two foot camp stool, it’ll be great. Jeff: Wow. Well, I’m glad there’s something like some kind of thing Brett: Yeah, no, it’s actually really good. It’s really good to get the stenosis diagnosis and ’cause for a long time I just assumed because I gained weight, my, my back wouldn’t work anymore, which was depressing. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I’ve been this heavy before and I have not had this pain. And even after my first like 50 pound sudden weight gain, I didn’t have back pain. So it didn’t make sense that my body just couldn’t handle it, uh, like something else had to be going on. So it was actually much like any diagnosis, I think, um, other than, you know, terminal illness, but for like A [00:06:00] DHD or stenosis or any like mental health condition, it’s a relief to get a diagnosis and find out you weren’t crazy, you weren’t making things up. So yeah, I’m, I’m grateful. Christina: No, I completely like, can, can relate to that. ’cause when I, like with my back, well my cervical spine, um, it was kind of a similar thing. Obviously mine was more acute and it was a different scenario because I got, um, like the, you know, diagnosis relatively quickly, although it still felt like it took longer than, than I wanted it to, to, to get my MRIs and whatnot. Um, but it was similar to you. It was like kind of a relief to be like, oh, okay, so you have like a major problem. This isn’t just you being a wimp and, Brett: Yeah, exactly. Christina: exhilarating pain. Right. Like excruciating pain. Right. And, and just even having that, even knowing, okay, I don’t love that I have to go through [00:07:00] this whole thing. Um, I’m, I’m still like relieved to have a diagnosis and a plan forward. Dental Insurance Racket Brett: Oh, and also I, so I’m on state. Healthcare, and that includes, um, Delta Dental, but it’s this weird version of Delta Dental that nobody in my town accepts. Um, so I have to, I have to drive 45 minutes to get dental care and even then they can’t, he can’t do root canals or anything. And I needed two root canals and that would’ve involved driving two and a half hours or three hours and then going back to the 45 minute away place. And so what I did was I took the extra money I had saved outside of my, like, nest egg savings, but like my working savings. And I paid for a year of actual Delta Dental, um, and started going to a place [00:08:00] just really close to me and, um. It turns out that the best dental health insurance is still shit like it. I don’t know how much dental work you guys get done, but it is, Christina: it’s, it is crappy. Brett: it’s a, it’s, it’s a racket. And I actually watched a YouTube video on why dental insurance is a scam. And it like interviewed Dennis who actually take these like Delta Dental and the Medicaid dentists. Um, and it is truly a scam. And what I found, and this is much the same experience, uh, Christina talked about with her, um, MRII think it was that you did a cash pay. Um, I talked to the dentist and I said, do you have a cash paid discount? And he’s like, oh yeah. And basically. I can just pay cash and do everything for about 60% of the normal cost, and that is better than what [00:09:00] Delta does for me in most cases. Plus, I need so much work that my $2,000 cap with Delta is gone. Christina: Well, I was, I was gonna say like, so when I joined Microsoft, Microsoft used to have really good. Dental insurance, um, respectively speaking as, as good as it can be. But there were still, you know, caps on how much work would be done. But I found like a good person to go to. ’cause I had an incident, um, about a year after I moved to Seattle, maybe less than that, where um, I had to have an emergency root canal and like that sucked. Um, like I went into a normal dentist. She was like, this is what you need. And then I had to like, take an Uber, like over to a guy and see him like that day at like 5:00 PM and I’m like, you know, all like drugged up and, and getting the root canal. And that was not great. And I needed a lot of, of, of work done. Um, and so we split it over like she was a really good dentist and so we split it over. We were like, I was coming close to. The, the end of the calendar year. So she was like, okay, we’re gonna do all of this work and then we will start the next year [00:10:00] when things go forward. And like she knew how to play the system and was like a really good dentist. Well then Micro, then I went to GitHub. GitHub used, um, you know, uh, Delta Dental. And, and that can vary based on plan. Microsoft is apparently on them too. Google also had them on a slightly different plan, and it’s like you never know what you’re getting. And yeah, to your point, because if you need a lot of work done, if you have anything specialized, if you’re, you’re lucky if you get the right plan and you can see a provider in your area, great. But if you don’t, to your point, it is often, this is just fucked up. Like, especially if you’re having to pay out of pocket for it anyway. If it’s part of your employer, you know, benefits, maybe it’s a little different, but it’s like even then it can still wind up being less expensive to just pay the cash stuff than whatever your deductibles are, which have a cap anyway. And, and, and, and, and then, yeah, the, the, the way that the, the Medicaid or, or even insurance pricing works, stuff that they might charge you a very nominal fee for, for like a cleaning or whatever is, or a cavity fill [00:11:00] is gonna be, you know, they’re gonna bill insurance like three or four times that Brett: Right, exactly. So I pay, I pay like 800 bucks for a year of Delta, and that gives me basically $2,000 to work with, plus whatever price they can negotiate. Um, but like you said, like they, they bill three times. Um, so like what still comes out of my like $2,000 pot, um, is higher than I would’ve paid with Christina: If you just paid cash, if you just had an $800 budget, or if you got like, yeah, that’s the thing. Okay. This is an AI app that somebody should build. And I’m saying this hoping that maybe something the audience will, or maybe one of us could vibe code it, because this seems like this would be a relatively easy calculator to do with like certain providers if they, if they, you know, list their things where you could like run the costs and be like, okay, this is, I’m gonna put in this number. This is what my, you know, provider’s fees are. This is what my [00:12:00] insurance thing is. Um, Brett: what my cash pay Christina: this is what my cash pay is. Is it cheaper for me to spend $800 a year on Delta Dental or to just pay cash directly with my, my dentist? Brett: Yeah. Have you as I’ve, as I’ve said to people who have pitched ideas to me in the past, you’re talking about a spreadsheet? Christina: Yes. It is a spreadsheet to be completely out. Yes. But I can now use cloud code to, to to, to, you know, figure out the formula for me is the real thing. Brett: Yeah. There you go. All right. Who’s up? Post Surge Recovery Jeff: Dr. To, um, I can talk, uh, uh, I’m, I mean, I’m doing really well. Uh, I we’re a couple months past, or, you know, a couple months past the operation Metro surge stuff here in January and February, in a little bit of December, but really January. And that was, I’d never kind of experienced like a, a full [00:13:00] taxing of every single person and kind of person I knew and which was amazing. Um, and, uh, and it took a minute when things settled here, um, to, for everybody to kind of figure out what. How to just even enter into the world every day because everything had been driven by what was happening on a almost hourly to hourly basis for, for some time. And, um, and so I kind of moved through that, that period, which was like quite a sort of come down, uh, of adrenaline and, and amygdala sparking. Um, and, and have kind of smoothed a little bit. And, um, and I’m just doing well. I’m having a nice, a nice goal of it right now. Christina: Good. Great to hear. Brett: I, I guess that everything’s relative. Right? Jeff: Yeah. Everything’s relative. Yeah. Yeah. But I think I would call this a nice go of it, uh, even outside the context of comparing [00:14:00] to, to Operation Metro Surge. Brett: that’s, that’s, I, I’m happy for you. That’s awesome. Jeff: I think actually the last time I was on the podcast was with you, Christina, in January right after we had had a raid in our alley, which was even before the surge Christina: You before the big surge, even before Jeff: of an early start. Christina: I was gonna say even before, like I, I, I don’t even know if, if, if the, the, the murder had happened. Um, Jeff: not at all. In fact, we only had 100 extra ice agents here at the time and within a couple of weeks there’d be a woman in front of my house, uh, being pulled out of her car ’cause she was following ice agents and throwing me her phone as she gets tossed into a, into a fucking ice truck. And like it was just, everything happened so fast and so slowly all at the same time. And, and obviously there’s still all sorts of stuff going on, but it is indisputably not what it was in January and February. Brett: I was gonna ask you about that. ’cause like the total number of deportations is only slightly [00:15:00] lower right now than it was during the surge. Um, and they, they removed, they added like, what, 3000 agents and they removed like 800 of them. So, Jeff: they’ve removed way more than Brett: Hey, have they Jeff: oh, yeah. We’re down to, I haven’t, I don’t wanna say the numbers because I haven’t looked at them. We’re, we’re back down to like the high hundreds and we, our baseline is like 1 25. Brett: Okay. Jeff: Yeah. You can tell. Um, it’s, yeah, you can tell. And I, and I’ve been down to the WPO Federal building a a few times, um, which is where ICE was kind of headquartered and there’s just the level of activity there is very low. Um, they had some new vehicles come in at one point about a month ago, but mostly those are replacing rentals that they were using. So it wasn’t like people took it as kind of an indication that they were, you know, staffing up or suiting up again. But it was really just kind of replacing their, their really weird, like sort of duct tape together invasion. Um, it’s kinda like in Iraq when they decided they were gonna [00:16:00] actually armor the Humvees, it was kind of like a little bit of a switch of, of vehicles. Um. Yeah, it’s much different. And like, you know, all the people either in my life or in my community that were in hiding or not, I mean, for the most part, not in hiding anymore vulnerable folks and undocumented folks. And, um, so it’s like, it’s qualitatively and nervous, systemly different Brett: Yeah. Yeah. Jeff: for everybody and still sucks. And there’s still a risk and a threat and, and a horror. And a terror. Brett: Yeah, down here in southern Minnesota, I have not gotten a call to do a food delivery or a grocery delivery for, yeah, a couple months. Um, so yeah, I guess it really has calmed down across the state. Jeff: Yeah. Thank God. I mean, who knows what they’re up to that isn’t as visible, but thank God Brett: exactly. Jeff: over. So yeah, I, I mean it’s, and I actually just had my, my brother’s been in town and every time someone kind of comes to visit, they wanna like. You know, kind of hear or take in what the thing was and you start describing it again, and [00:17:00] now it just, I mean, it felt like a dream at the time. It just felt like, how could this be real? But you were just so in it, like every single person, like you said, Brett, like people were doing grocery deliveries or people were, you know, cooking food for the people that were kind of on the front lines, or you were following ice, or you were dispatching people to follow ice, whatever. It was like every. Single person I could think of as doing something. And uh, and, and so when you try to describe it now, when you look around, especially in my neighborhood where they were all over, um, it it, it seems like, was this, was this real, um, like, was it even real because like, I don’t know, like the end here. ’cause this could go on forever, but I don’t know if any of you saw the footage that went around of a high school called Roosevelt High School, where, uh, where Bovino showed up and there was all this crazy shit and the, the footage of this, um, went around the country and like it was, you know, reposted by freaking everybody that was my son’s school in my neighborhood. And, and so like, it was just this constant thing of like, bovino at my son’s school, binos at my gas station. Like, it was just [00:18:00] utterly insane. And now, and, and every street felt almost, you could feel ice on the streets. Like you would see ghost cars where they had taken people or whatever. You could like, feel ’em on the streets. And so you walk around, you walk around the same streets now, and it’s just birds and kids playing and you’re just like, did that, was that real? Brett: There, there was a tow truck driver that was interviewed who had taken it upon himself to tow those ghost cars for free back to their origin. Um, and just like leave them for people. Jeff: at least, or he would take them in and not charge if you came in for them. And it’s, and that’s just it. Everybody, everybody. It was incredible. It was incredible. Christina: It’s crazy. Jeff: Yeah. All Christina: I hope, I genuinely hope that they’ve lost interest and, and have moved on to other things. Brett: Like Seattle. Christina: yeah. Well, I mean, Seattle is obviously a very different situation and, and that had a, a longstanding, I think, impact. Um, and, and I, I, I. I’ve said this, I said this at the time, people who made that really bad were the [00:19:00] activists who came in outside the so-called activists and putting that in quotation marks who came in, who didn’t even live in the city and agitated things and made things way worse than, than they, than it should have been. Um, but yeah, but I hope that it’s like Seattle, that it just kind of falls like the, the government doesn’t come back and, and continue this, you know, reign of terror. Jeff: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Surgery And Withdrawal Christina: Um, well, I’ll, I’ll be quick. So I, I had surgery since I guess the last time I was on, Jeff: Sure did. Christina: that went well. Um, the surgery itself, I’m still in some pain, um, in my shoulder after the surgery, uh, which was not like you were fi fixing my cervical spine. But, um, they, uh, I guess however it worked, like I, I think as muscular, um, I, I’ve been going to to to PT for the last few weeks. Um, but I still having some, some shoulder pain. That’s, that’s getting better. Um, the hardest thing was actually some of the medication stuff. So [00:20:00] I, uh, gabapentin, um, I know it’s a lifesaver for a lot of people. I don’t have a good reaction to it. Like I’m one of those people. Like, it, it a, it makes me feel kind of loopy. I don’t like it. B it’s very difficult for me to sleep on it. Um, which, which is a problem and, you know, but, but the big thing is it just kind of makes me like, feel like I’m not kind of in my own head. Like I feel like, don’t know, like, um, altered on it. I, I would say. And so I went off they gabapentin and no one told me, and I am gonna put this as a PSA out there. ’cause I know a lot of people take it. Do not go off of that cold Turkey. Jeff: mm. Christina: They didn’t tell me that. Um, which someone should have, but no one told me that. And it can actually cause seizures if you do other things. But in my case, the real thing was that I had withdrawal. That was some of the worst withdrawal I’ve ever had. In my life ever. And, um, it like awful, like awful, awful, awful to the point that to go off the Gabapentin and they had me on like a, a decent dosage. It [00:21:00] took me a month because I had to keep going basically down like one pill like every week to step down. And, but I mean, I was getting, you know, like, like hot and cold sweats, you know, like feeling like my teeth were gnashing, you know, like nauseous, just like awful, awful stuff. So it took me, you know, a month to go off of that. I had to extend my medical leave in part because of the medication withdrawal stuff, because I was like, I can’t go back to work if I’m gonna be like, still dealing with, with medication bullshit. Um, so, um, that was actually, you know, in some ways like more, uh, of an issue than like recovering from the surgery itself, which was major. Like I, I tried to kind of downplay like what it was, but it was, it was major surgery and um. Um, I’m glad that it’s over. So, you know, onwards and upwards. I’m, I’ve been back at work for a couple weeks. Um, still kind of settling in on that, but, uh, but yeah. Brett: That [00:22:00] withdrawal sounds terrible. Usually you have to do opiates to get that kind of fun. Christina: Yeah, well that was the thing. I saw somebody on, I read it, which of course is anecdotal. I don’t usually look for this stuff, but sometimes you just wanna feel like, okay, is it, is it common for me to have this withdrawal or not? And somebody, and one of the subreddits was like, this was worse than coming off of heroin and I in a jail cell, and I should know because I’ve done that. And I was like, okay, I, I’m not going to equate it at that level, you know, for, for me. But it was definitely like that bad. It was, let me put it this way, it was bad enough that at first I thought. It was the opiate withdrawal because I, they gave me some, some oxy, um, um, contin. Um, and then the doctor was like, no, that’s not a high enough dosage. This is, you know, um, it, it, it probably was gabapentin and, and it, it. What pissed me off is that one of the physician’s assistants or whatever, when I’m telling like my doctor about this, I’m like, okay, if I need another nerve drug, then we need to find something [00:23:00] else. I can go on select so I can go on, you know, something else. But, but I, I clearly can’t stay on this. A, they kind of gaslit me because I’m a woman and obviously my pain and my symptoms can’t be real. So that’s like number one. And that’s just a fact. I don’t care if you’re a male or female doctor, they don’t take you seriously. I’ve complained about that before. Um, b like she had the nerves to say, she was like, well, you know, if the withdrawal is that bad, then why don’t you just stay on the medic medication? It’s not that it, it, it, it’s fine. I’m like, no, it’s not fine. It makes me feel altered. You’re telling me that it’s for nerve pain, that my nerve pain should be fixed if my nerve pain isn’t fixed and if I need something for nerve stuff, then that’s one thing and we could maybe look at an alternative, something that doesn’t make me feel loopy and lets me sleep. But if your suggestion is, oh, to avoid the bad withdrawal, just stay on the drug. I’m sorry, what the fuck are we doing? Um, and, and then the doctor’s like, well, you know, we get this all the time. We never see side effects. And then I looked it up, you know, in the actual drug literature and no, there are side effects exactly like the ones I experienced. So I was like, I recognize that. [00:24:00] I always am usually that like one percentile person who gets like the weird side effect. Like, that’s who I am. I get that. But Brett: crazy. I’ve, I’ve gone off of gabapentin. It sucks. I You’re not crazy at all. Christina: yeah. But, but it just, it just was frustrating to me that like the, the suggestions like, we’ll just stay on it. It’s like, no, like that’s, that’s, that’s not actually gonna be a thing anyway, but onward and upward. Jeff: Yeah. Wow. I’m glad you’re through that. Like Christina: Yeah, me too. Me too. Okay. Sponsor One Skin Christina: Well, I know we have some other topics we wanna get to, but before we do that, um, let’s take a moment to talk about our sponsor of today’s episode One Skin. So, um, you know, I, I’ve gone through a number of different things with my skincare routine over the years. Some have been more effective than other. Um, you know, um, my skin kind of goes back and forth between being too oily and too dry. I’m kind of in a dry [00:25:00] phase right now, and, um, there are tons of products out there that, that promise results. And then you, you get them in the, and they’re, they don’t necessarily work. So, uh, I wanna talk to you about One Skin, which was founded by scientists, and it’s dedicated to longevity. And, um, the, the brand is actually committed to being real science over marketing hype. And so, uh. What they wind up. Uh, what, how, how this works is that they use OSO uh, zero one, which is a proprietary peptide, which is designed to help deactivate the damaged cells that contribute to aging skin. And, um, I’ve been using one skin, um, for a little bit, and I, I’m, I’m liking it. I like how it makes my face feel. Um, I like, um, the fact that, uh, it’s. You know, what the peptides are supposed to do is help basically, uh, support collagen, uh, uh, of production and, and, and strengthening the skin barrier. Um, I’m not alone. There are over 10,005 star reviews and there’s validation from clinical studies and, and it’s making a name for itself in the skincare industry.[00:26:00] So if you are interested in trying one skin for yourself, you can get 15% off your order with the code Overtired at one skin.co/ Overtired. That’s 15% off at one skin. Do co slash Overtired and use that code Overtired. So thank you one skin for supporting our show and check them out. Brett: Awesome. Terminal Widget Reveal Brett: Do you guys, can I tell you about terminal widget? Jeff: Terminal widget. Yes. Set it up. Terminal widget. Brett Terpstra. What’s Brett: so I, I, I wanted, I had scripts running in the background and I wanted a quick way to check them and I thought it should be easy to put. Script output into a, like a widget on the desktop. And I could not find anything that actually worked. Like Shellfish has a widget, but it, it takes minutes to update and it’s flaky and, and the other apps out there [00:27:00] did not work for me. So I thought I would build my own. So I think I started it a month ago. Um, I built a, just something for, you can run a terminal command and update a progress bar or an image or, uh, like sparkline text or just straight up text output from your. Terminal, all kinds of charts and everything, and, and it updates instantly on your desktop, uh, with like a 0.5 to one second delay, uh, which I wasn’t able to find anywhere else. I had to like, use JSON payloads and like basically a cloud kit watcher, um, cloud kit because I did also port it to iOS. And, um, so I can run one command in my terminal or from a script in the background and have my iPhone and my desktop update with progress. Um, I am working [00:28:00] on a watch version of it that is not, I, I have it working in the app, but I wanna make it so it works as a complication. Um, that’s gonna take a little more doing, uh, but this morning and yesterday I spent working on. The Apple script and shortcuts interfaces for it. And I hate designing Apple Script dictionaries, uh, because there’s no, like, there’s no standard for like terminology and there’s no like golden way to do it. And I always end up messing it up even when I do have a plan. This time I think I actually succeeded in building out a dictionary that makes semantic sense and is somewhat. Predictable if you’ve ever written Apples script before, but I also added all of the widgets can be controlled from shortcuts. You just drag in like a chart widget into your shortcut and pass in like a value or like a, a chart of values. It can [00:29:00] do matrices and sign waves and, and line grass and bar charts, and it’s pretty nuts. You can check it out. It’s not available yet, but all of the documentation and all of the screenshots are at Terminal widget app. Um, and I am, I’m pretty impressed with myself and Christina: yeah. Brett: that’s what I’ve been working on while waiting for Mark III to make it through app store reviews so I can finally publish that. I, my latest rejection first, I got rejected, like a couple legitimate. Uh, concerns, but then I had a CLI that I wrote that was embedded in the app bundle and there was an option to create a sim link in your, in your terminal to use the CLI. And this was just a convenience method for like, you give it command line flags and it converts it into URL handlers and they rejected me for Christina: [00:30:00] I was gonna say, I was gonna say, they don’t let you do that. Like what I’ve seen with other apps do is usually there’s like a, um, in the app store is that usually you have to download a helper to install the CL. Brett: right. So what I did, uh, to get past the rejection was completely rip out the binary from the bundle. Uh, if you go to the install cli CLI tool menu item, it simply takes you to a webpage where there’s a, a notarized signed PKG file, or you can install from Homebrew, but it’s completely separate from the app store. And the last rejection said that I was requiring users to download an external app in order to use the app. Which is ridiculous on its face. Like it’s, it’s a convenience method. In no way do you need to download it. Um, there’s no requirement. In fact, it’s almost buried that you would even want it. Um, [00:31:00] and so I argued with the reviewer for a couple days ’cause they were replying like once a day. Um, and then they told me I had to go through a re uh, the appeal process. So I submitted an appeal at four 50 this morning. We’ll see how long that takes now. But in the meantime, terminal Widget is keeping me sane. I’m having a lot of fun with that. Widgets And Visualizations Jeff: I have some terminal widget questions. I’m looking at the site right now. Um, so talk to me about, um, talk to us about your, your initial use case, like was, which you’ve kind of described already, which is you just wanted to be able to check on these scripts Brett: Yeah. I just wanted a progress Jeff: But then Brett Terpstra kicks in ’cause like I just wanted a progress bar and now I’m looking at all the flags and everything else that you could have. You know, I’m curious like of all of the options that are in there, I want you to just share something that might not be intuitive or might not guess you can do. And then I’m curious of like if you have something you’re like, and what I [00:32:00] really want it to be able to do is. Brett: So you can pass it up to a hundred numbers, like a, a list of space or canvas, separated numbers that you can output from whatever script you’re developing. And you can have it, uh, output a sine wave or a um, uh, a waveform. I like the waveform visualization for it. And so you can get like pretty cool visualizations out of. Tabular data basically. And I also just added, um, tabular, like you can, you can give it a CSV file and it’ll generate a table for you. And it really only works well on like the large widget size. Um, but on both, on both iOS and Mac, uh, the tables look pretty good. Jeff: Nice. Christina: That’s awesome. I, I have a, I have a nerdy, uh, well, but less nerdy question. [00:33:00] Um, on the Terminal WIT app website, um, you have like a, a video of a, like, you know, showing off like, um, you know, your, your, your terminal app open and, um, the, the text being typed out. What did you use to create that? Did you use a remotion or did you use something else to generate that Brett: I scripted that, um, I, I wrote if there’s a helper Christina: charm or something? Brett: No, Christina: Okay. Brett: I, it’s a helper. It’s a helper script that it, it clears the screen and then it takes a table of commands and it types the command out with like a jitter delay. So it looks somewhat natural, like typing. And then it actually runs the command in the background. And then once the command’s finished, it clears the screen and does the same thing with the next one. Um, so I can just feed it like a, a, uh, a file with all the commands. I wanna run one per line. Um, and it just types them out and executes them. Jeff: That’s awesome. Christina: Cool. Brett: I know, [00:34:00] like I looked into like using like as, as as cinema. Um, and it just to get that kind of really. Smooth, rapid typing out of it, uh, without, you know, all the backspace and everything. I, it was, I found it difficult to program it to, to code it. And by the time I had it figured out, I figured I should just write my own script for it. Christina: Yeah. There’s, um, there, there’s a, a. Service called Remotion, which can do some of that sort of graphical work, which is what I thought you might’ve used at first. Um, charm has a thing called VHS, which is basically like a CLI home home recorder, which is pretty cool. Um, and I’ve used that before, but yeah, I was just kind of curious, um, what you did, but yeah, you just built your own. That’s awesome. Very cool. Release Plans And Review Christina: Um, now for your, your, when do you think like, because I, I noticed that you have like for for blog book and for terminal widget, you have like coming soon. Is that like, ’cause [00:35:00] you’re still kind of like working on stuff or, um, are you going through review hell with those as well? Brett: I haven’t even tried getting either of those reviewed. Um, blog book I is approved for test flight, um, and anyone who wants in on that can just contact me. It is getting the slowest development out of all my projects right now just because it is, it’s a more niche app that I don’t think is gonna make a ton of money. But, um, mark III is where most of my effort is going. Then I’m working on porting mark three’s, uh, store kit stuff into NV Ultra, and then I can focus on trying to usher terminal widget through app review. Um, I have a feeling that’s going to go very poorly and I may end up just releasing outside the app store, but because it has an iOS Christina: I was gonna say with the iOS component is the hard part. Brett: I kind of have to, so we’ll see what happens. Christina: Yeah. [00:36:00] ’cause I was gonna say, ’cause like, I mean I guess what you could do is if you did something for the iOS F would make it different though. Like if it’s just, ’cause I’m sure it has, it’s working out. It’s pretty much just remote instance that’s showing Brett: No, no, it’s got, it’s a, Christina: you, you built in your own terminal emulator into it. Brett: no, there’s no, no, no, no, no, no. There’s no terminal in this app at all. Like, you use it from whatever terminal or from shortcuts. Um, so it’s all native widgets on both. Christina: right. I was just saying in terms of the app store thing, like, I guess like if since there’s not a native terminal on, on iOS, it’s, I’m assuming that it’s, it’s a remote widget is what I was trying to get at. Brett: Essentially, yes. But if you write a shortcut on iOS that updates the widget, it updates both iOS and Mac os. So it is usable entirely. You could just buy it for iOS and, and it would be a functional app. Christina: okay. Okay. Universal Bundle Pricing Brett: But I do intend, I hope [00:37:00] to sell it as one universal bundle. So you pay like 9 99 and you get the iOS, the Mac, and the watch app without having to buy for every platform separately. Um, I just don’t see it being like such a valuable app that it’s worth making people go through that rigamarole. Christina: right. No, I was just trying to think. Brett: and everyone I’ve shown it to so far has been excited about it and the most common response I get is I will buy this as soon as I figure out what I would use it for. I’m like, yeah, okay. Jeff: Okay, fine. Awesome. AI Boosts Mark II Sales Jeff: And can you talk about how, because the whole world now works in markdown marked, has gotten a bump because I think that’s an amazing story. Brett: Well, yeah, it was. was a few months ago now, maybe six months. Um, my sales just started increasing and I was looking everywhere through all my traffic and all my logs [00:38:00] to figure out where this, where these people were coming from. Um, and it was eventually pointed out to me that if you ask any agent, any AI agent what you should use to view markdown, um, they would point you to Mark two. And it was now, for the last four months, five months, it’s been doing five times the sales year over year. What it was doing, Jeff: How close is it to the highest it ever was? Brett: um, the highest it ever was was actually when it was only 2 99. And Gruber wrote about it. Uh, back in this is like 2000. This was over a decade ago. And, um, back when, like one tweet from Gruber meant like success and that I made that year, I made almost a hundred thousand dollars on it.[00:39:00] Um, this is nowhere near that. This is doing like Jeff: But it’s a highly unexpected bump, right? Like in a delightful, delightful bump. Brett: yeah. It’s doing, it’s doing without even releasing Mark iii, I’m making about half of my former salary off of it. Jeff: Nice. I’m happy for you. Leaving Oracle Behind Brett: Also, uh, one year, um, in two days I’ll be one year out of Oracle and I quite happy about it. Jeff: that’s great. I was wondering about that, Brett: I don’t miss my corporate job. I miss, I miss some aspects, health insurance, paychecks, things like that. But Jeff: that aren’t at all about the content of the job, right? Brett: Well, like that stuff has never mattered all that much to me if I’m happy doing the work. And I really wasn’t happy doing the work. Christina: Well, that’s, that’s the thing. I’m glad that you’re, I’m glad things have been going well. I’m glad that, that the, the agents have, uh, been telling everybody about Mark two. Hopefully they will also tell them [00:40:00] about Mark three. Um. Ninety Hour Workweeks Brett: My, my dentist was doing was doing small talk with me, and he knows I’m a app developer and he asked me, so how many hours a week do you work? And I happen to know the answer because I had just read my timing app report for last week and I said, 90. And he said, oh wow. How much do you make? And he’s like, if you don’t mind me asking. So I told him and uh, it saying it out loud, it’s basically like 20 bucks an hour I get paid. And like, it’s not nothing, but once these apps are out and I can sit back and just make some passive income off of it, I will, I’ll be much Jeff: So it’s 90 because you’re, you’re developing multiple things right now and, and you love it. Brett: I’m pretty much, I’m pretty much on my machine all day except for like an hour for [00:41:00] like getting out, exercising, getting on my recumbent bicycle and an hour for eating. Um, Jeff: Is it time for you to get a trike? I’m serious. Brett: I don’t, I don’t know, I, I actually want to try just getting back on a regular bicycle. Jeff: Hmm. Brett: Um, but I, yeah, like a recumbent tricycle, that’d be pretty awesome. Jeff: dad uses him. He actually just converted one to an to an E-bike. Plus it’s hot now ’cause of DTF St. Louis. Christina: right. Jeff: Awesome. Uh, is that it for your app development because wow, that’s like, uh, quite a, quite a deal. You got anything else in the cooker? Brett: Well, like we talked about blog book. Right? Jeff: Yep. Brett: Okay. Yeah, that’s, that’s what I got. Jeff: Nice. Brett: that’s my big ones. NV Ultra Vaporware Woes Brett: NV Ultra is, um, literally only waiting on me to [00:42:00] get Mark three out and then NV Ultra will be out. And it is well passed a time when it would’ve been a smash hit. Um, when, when Nv, when NVL first started dying before, uh, before something like obsidian really Christina: I was gonna say, if sitting is unfortunately Brett: yeah, they obsidian and five or six other apps have really eaten up market share for, uh, NV Ultra. But it would be nice just to get it published. I have been talking about a replacement for NV for over a decade, and Jeff: Am I gonna get sued if I say this is not your fault. Brett: It’s, it’s not my fault, like none of them have been my fault. Like they’ve all fallen through on me. Um, but I think people don’t believe me anymore when I say it’s coming. In fact, it, in fact, if you ask an AI agent, they will tell you that MB Ultra is vaporware.[00:43:00] Christina: Well, Jeff: a lot ai. Christina: I mean, look at this point, even though yeah, it’s been in beta and you’ve had other things going on. I mean, like it, you know, again, it wasn’t your fault, but, but, but you know, we’ve all been in those situations where you’re like, it’s coming, it’s coming. Or this thing is like, at a certain point you’re like, okay. Like Brett: Yeah. Missing Collaborators Online Brett: Well that there was Bit Writer Christina: TechMate too. Brett: Bit Writer was one that preceded NV Ultra and I was working on that with David Halter, who was a co contributor on VT and. He disappeared. I don’t know if he died or what, but about years ago he just stopped replying to emails, disappeared off of Slack, disappeared from the internet. Just I, and I don’t ha I don’t know his next of kin. I don’t have anyone I can like ask, Hey, whatever happened to David. So if you’re out there, if you’re listening, I’d love to hear from you just to know you’re alive. Just to, just to [00:44:00] check in. Um, I’ve actually had a few people disappear over the last couple months that ha it’s been disconcert when, when you’re used to hearing from someone at least, you know, once a week even. But some of these people were like every day, um, I. Jeff: from them, meaning seeing them somewhere or corresponding or. Brett: Uh, online. These are, these are people I only know online. So like seeing them on Macedon or Facebook or getting emails or text messages from them. Um, a couple of them were in their eighties or nineties, and so it’s not, Jeff: That might be your problem. Brett: it, it’s not out of the realm of the possibility that they have passed on. Um, but some of them were younger than me and one of them has come back after two weeks of messaging, like every other day, like, Hey, are you okay? Haven’t heard from you. Um, finally they’re like, oh, yeah, I’m here. [00:45:00] And offered no explanation for where they’d been or why they went silent, but I didn’t pry either. So. Dan Peterson Secret App Jeff: What is your project with Dan Peterson? That’s on our, our list. Brett: I don’t know if I’m allowed to say a lot about it, but I’ve been working. Dan Peterson is one, the original designer of one password and worked with them for like 20 years before he struck out on his own. And we’ve teamed up, we’re working on a couple things, but one is a a, an IO iOS app that he has put in. I, I don’t even know how many hours into the design of it, like 3D modeling, spline rendering, and um, and then we ported it into an iOS interface. And it is gorgeous. It, it will it when, when it gets to market, which we’re hoping to have it in [00:46:00] testate in time for Max stock in July. Um, it’ll be the best looking app I’ve ever been a part of. It’s gonna be so cool. Jeff: Nice. Christina: That’s awesome. Jeff: Busy time. Brett: Yeah. Jeff: It’s Christina: That’s awesome. Jeff: What else do we got? I mean, Brett, you showed up with a big list. The Pit TV Complaints Christina: I was gonna, is anybody watching anything? Uh, good on TV or rewatching anything? Jeff: I have a serious complaint to put into the world, so I’ve avoided the pit for a long time. Uh, just ’cause I’m, I don’t, I’m not a huge like yeah, Brett: drama. Jeff: it is great. Except are there two separate writing teams for the stars and staff and the people that come in as patients? Because the writing for the people that come in patients is. Awful. They acting sometimes too. Sometimes there’s some people that sell it. I’m only through season one, uh, but I was like, I have been yelling at the tv, uh, about this [00:47:00] for some time. Um, besides also yelling at the TV for the point at which, um, our young friend with a w as a last name Whitaker, who, uh, gets blood all over his face and then they don’t actually immediately clean it up. Um, uh, so I yell at the screen and I like the show, but I yell. I haven’t had a TV show that I’m like, oh, for fuck’s sake now. I mean, I can handle that in The Walking Dead. I can handle that in that kind of movie. But in the ER thing I’m like, come on, you can’t get a writer to handle the patients. I don’t understand. You’ve got an incredible cast, like an incredible cast. Brett: It’s actually all ad-libbed. Jeff: all ad-libs, like the clown. There’s a clown, I won’t give it up, but there’s a, there’s a clown that has been through a mass event and he’s in the, uh, he’s in the ER with his clown makeup on still, and some blood going down his face and at some point he looks around and he goes, what a circus. I just think they, I think, I don’t understand. This confuses me very much [00:48:00] in TV shows when you’re like, okay, you’ve got a great writing team, but clearly you have a separate writing team that is doing just this little job that is actually quite important. So that’s my complaint about the pit. Otherwise, I like it quite a bit. I’m very excited to start season two, probably this weekend. Christina: it’s a good season. It’s a good season. So, yeah, ’cause, because, because I, I, I, um, it, it ended last week and I’m, I’m a big fan of the pit. I will say this, the pit fandom is insane and not in a good way. Like these are people who don’t understand how to watch television shows and don’t understand. Like how television shows work, and, and then also become very entitled about like, how, like their vision of the characters and things should be on a level. Like the last time I’ve seen it, it it’s the same, it’s similar with heated rivalry, but it’s somehow worse because this isn’t like a genre show like that. It’s like low quality for like, you know, middle aged like white women, um, in the suburbs. Um, who, who just like to see two, two hockey players. [00:49:00] You know? Fuck. Um, like, like the pit is actually like, I’m not gonna call it Prestige TV because it’s not er level, but it’s a very good show and it’s extremely well acted. And I think the writing, um, I, I think make a good point about the, uh, the patients not getting as good of storylines as the doctors. But, um, Jeff: no. I don’t need storylines. I Christina: no, I I mean the Jeff: words they Christina: Yeah. Yeah. No, that, that’s, that, that, that that’s what I mean, like, like that, that, that, that I, I, I hear, I hear your Jeff: Because where there’s a patient storyline, those are almost exclusively great. Christina: Yeah, it, so you’re more talking about like, like, like the kind of the background characters, like, kind of like the, the, the one-offs. Yeah, I think, I think that’s fair. Well, a lot of the writing staff and like executive producers are doctors or people who have like, you know, worked, um, extensively in healthcare. And so I, I, I wonder if like, that’s kind of part of it, um, where Brett: they’re really good at writing the doctor’s parts. They’re not so good at Jeff: so good. Oh my God, so Christina: so good at doing the doctor’s parts and, and the procedures. Like they wanna be medically [00:50:00] accurate and like they really, they really are committed to that. There are, um, there are a couple of, I’m trying to think, um, the, the Whitaker thing, I think that was just, I enjoyed that myself. Like the fact that he’s always getting blood Jeff: Oh, I loved the bit, I just couldn’t believe that. I couldn’t believe that through quite, you know, a couple of different bits after that. The blood’s still on his face. I’m like, there has to be a protocol to get blood off your face. Christina: No, there definitely has to be, but I mean, part also one of the running gags first season two. And, and sorry for spoilers, for anyone who hasn’t watched the pit Jeff: Wait, I’m gonna close my ears. Okay. Go ahead. Wave when you’re done. Christina: Rob Robbie can’t pee. And, uh, this wasn’t a real spoiler, but like, but one of the things is like, you know, Robbie’s never able to like, go to the bathroom. Like he can never find a way to pee. So Jeff: I’m back. Brett: you’re safe now. Jeff: I’m back. Christina: you, you’re safe. And I didn’t spoil anything. I was ER Nostalgia and Cast Jeff: The other thing I’ll say about the pit that surprised I did not watch ER and not ’cause out of bad attitude. Uh, it was just a point in my life when I wasn’t watching a lot of tv. Um, I also didn’t realize until I was [00:51:00] like five episodes in that Noah Wiley was a big character in er. I think that’s really cool. Um, Christina: Okay. Okay. I, I understand you weren’t watching TV then, but how did you not realize that Noah Wiley was Jeff: I didn’t know Noah Wiley’s name. Like I, this is just not, I don’t hold names of people. I, you know, I also, on the albums, I love that. I don’t remember song, I don’t know song titles half the time. Um, so I don’t mind You can, you can be very disappointed and express it. And I will accept it. I will receive it. Christina: No, I’m just shocked Jeff: to be better. Christina: because I, I mean, ’cause because I was like 10 years old when ER came out and like, I don’t know, like they were like, that was the number one show on television Jeff: Totally. And I mean, Clooney, come on. I know Clooney. Christina: course Clooney, but, but like, but it was Clooney. It was, but but like the, the, the, the, the original, it was Clooney, it was uh, uh, Sherry Stringfeld, it was um, um, uh, Eric Lesal. It was Juliana Margolis, it was Noah Wiley, and it was Anthony Edwards. So like, Jeff: Oh, my favorite Timber Christina: and I was gonna say ironically going into when er came out, like the, the name was Anthony [00:52:00] Edwards, like, he was like number one on the call sheet, right? Like Clooney I think was like four. Um, and, and then, and then Clooney because he’s a good guy, like blew the fuck up and then still did them a solid and did like a full freaking five years on that show, Jeff: Yeah, which is awesome. Christina: he did not, David, David Caruso, it like David Caruso, who famously like had one, you know, big season of NYPD Blue fucks off to go do a movie career. The movie career implodes, there’s a clause in his contract because A, b, C was so furious about how the way he quit NYPD Blue, that they were like, okay, well you can’t do any television for x number of years. And then his movie career dies and then he has to like come like hat in hand to like CSI Miami. Jeff: Yeah. Yeah. Well I love the pit and this thing that surprised me is the thing I always stayed away from is like I can handle gore in almost every context except real life. And so like I can do all the gore of the Walking Dead. I can do all the gore of Game of Thrones or something, but like, I was like, I don’t know if I want, [00:53:00] yeah. Gore. I love it. I mean, I love it. ’cause I’m fascinated. I’m just fascinated. I’m like, oh, that’s what it looks like when you do that. Like, right. Like you just snip the fingertip off. That’s what it looks like when you do that. Like, Christina: no, Jeff: the first Christina: they show some of the stuff, Jeff: yeah, the first half. I did this every time I covered my face whenever it was like that. And then all of a sudden I could handle it. And I was like, this is fascinating. This is totally Christina: What episode are you, are you up to? How many do you Jeff: I actually, I only have 15 left. I have the last episode left. Um, and unfortunately, like we’ve had, like my brother’s, not unfortunately, my brother’s been, we had stuff every night until late for like three or four days. And I’m so ready to watch that thing. And now, now my wife’s going outta town, so I’m not sure we’ll even see it for another week. It’s making me crazy. Brett: are you watching it together? And you have to wait for her. Jeff: Yeah. Well, and we, and, and sometimes it’s easy for us to find a show together and sometimes there’s just a long dry spell. And so it’s also just like nice. It’s just nice to have a show together always. Um, and so it’s the combination of like, that’s just nice to do and I’m right at the end and I’m just ready to Christina: And you just wanna do that together? [00:54:00] Yeah, no, it makes sense. Season Two and Other Shows Christina: Um, I, I’m, I’m curious to see what you’ll think of season two. Um, I, I, um, it’s, it’s different in some ways. It doesn’t have like the, the, I’m not spoiling anything, but like, it doesn’t have like a big like, catalyzing event, like, like season one does. Um, but I still think it’s, it’s really good TV and, uh, yeah, definitely one of my favorite shows, um, hacks is Back for its final season. That’s definitely one of my favorite Brett: That Jeff: I never Brett: good. I, I finished season one. Um, I think there’s three seasons or is there more? Christina: This, it is now in its fifth season. Yeah. Brett: Okay. Yeah. I, I finished season one and then kind of forgot about it, and then I just saw some trailers for the new season and thought, oh, I should get back into this. It looks, it looks like it, it, it looks like it did well, um, Christina: No, I mean, shrinking. Yeah. Brett: I was gonna say, the new season of shrinking is really good too. Christina: Yeah, it is. Yeah. Um, well, well, uh, bill Lawrence is, is, uh, who created that and he created Scrubs and Spin City and [00:55:00] some other things. Like he’s, he’s really, really, um, good. He also did Rooster, which is now on HBO Max. Um, but, oh, the Scrubs Revival. Speaking of, of new shows, I don’t know if it’s gonna get like renewed because it hasn’t been renewed yet. And so I’m a little bit concerned that it hasn’t been renewed yet, and I only did nine episodes for the first season. But the, the Scrubs reboot, revival, whatever you wanna call it, and I say this is somebody who was a huge scrub fan. I, I don’t consider the, the final season to be scrubs like that. It is not part of Canon to me. Like, I feel like that, that, that wasn’t it, but I thought they actually did an amazing job, um, with the, with the reboot. Like I actually. And, and it was hard for them too because John c McGinley is on Rooster and, um, uh, Judy Reyes is on, um, uh, high Potential. And, um, so, you know, the only like, you know, main characters from the original that they have back in every single episode [00:56:00] are, um, uh, Elliot, JD and Turk. Um, but, uh, and then, and then you see, you know, kind of like, like Carla just isn’t in the office sometimes, but she has some guest appearances. Um, but they actually managed to, to do this, they managed to do like a next generation type of story, but still focused on like the main characters you love, but still kind of bring in like new younger doctors in like a way that I’m genuinely really impressed with how they did it. And, and like it kept the heart and kind of the, the feel of the original, like I, it, it was, I was very, very impressed that they were able to recapture. What made that show so good, um, for, its, I guess they’re calling it its 10th season, but, um, I, I really hope that it comes back because that’s a really good show. Brett: Speaking of reboots, um, they’re rebooting, um, Malcolm in the middle, Jeff: I Christina: Yes, they did. [00:57:00] Yeah. They did a four episode thing. Brett: but what I saw an, I saw Hot ones versus with, um, uh, Frankie Muni and whatever. How Christina: Yeah. Brian Cranston. Who, Brian Cranston. Who, who was, who was the, the father of, of, of Mel King on the pit. Brett: Oh, there you go. Jeff: is so cool. I love her so much. Brett: but anyway, they’re talking about why Dewey wouldn’t come back and basically he was like, I haven’t acted since I was nine. He’s like, he is busy. He is got a life Christina: He’s in grad school, like he went to Harvard and stuff like, like, he’s like, uh, I, which I, I love. And I’m like, okay. You know, I mean, I would’ve loved to see Joey too, but I don’t blame him for being like, no. Brett: Yeah. Jeff: Yeah. Yeah. Brett: neither, neither did the other actors, I don’t think. I think, uh, it, it wasn’t necessary to Christina: no, I was gonna say he wasn’t because Brett: the Yeah, Christina: mean, look, they were able to do Fuller House without the Olson [00:58:00] twins who were a much bigger part of that show Jeff: Fuller Christina: ever was. And, and I, I, I’m not even like defending Fuller house. Like it was, it was fine. It was whatever. But like, even that, you were like, there were enough characters where you’re like, okay, so, so Michelle isn’t here. And that would’ve been weird, to be honest. I don’t think that, like I know that everybody would’ve loved having the cameo, but it’s like, how in the hell are you gonna have the Olson twins, like as adults, even in a cameo on Fuller House without just completely taking you out of the whole thing. You know what I mean? Brett: Yeah. Christina: Like, it just, it just wouldn’t be possible. But Gratitude App Picks Brett: we try to fit in a gude before Jeff: Should we grab, Christina: yeah. Let’s do a gratitude. Brett: Um, I can kick it off. I got one I’m excited about. Um, found this app called Bezel. Um, I needed to do iOS screenshots and I needed to do iOS recordings, and I played around with using Screen flow and screen Studio and Camtasia, and I didn’t like [00:59:00] any of the ways that they recorded iOS movies. And then I found Bezel and I mean, c So screen recording built into iOS, in my opinion, is better than any of the like screen casting apps can do. Um, but bezel, if you, if you hard co hardwire your phone to your computer and turn on screen, mirroring it can record. Perfect. Um. iOS recordings, and it’s really good at just taking screenshots with a single key key command. You get a screenshot with a bezel like the outline of the phone and a desktop background behind it. So I can just hit command S as I like, move through my phone, uh, and then my right hand on my phone, my left hand on my keyboard, and I can get a dozen iOS screenshots in five minutes, and they’re ready to go, like ready to [01:00:00] publish. It’s really nice. Jeff: That’s really awesome. I’m gonna try that. Christina: Same, same. Do you have one Brett, or do you want me to, or uh, Jeff do or do you want me to go. AI Tools and Claude Code Jeff: Uh, I’m happy to go. Um, so this is, this is, uh, an easy one in a way, but I, I wanna be specific about what’s been so useful. So I’ve been using cloud code and vs code forever. I mean for the last, I’d say two or three months. ’cause I’ve got really, really deep into using cloud code actually for qualitative work. Um, but also a totally bananas project I built that has both a. Physical component and a heavy duty code component, which I’ll talk about sometime. Um, but, um, I, and I’ve used the desktop app for cowork and for like just the standard chat and I’ve loved that, but I never used it for cloud code until this latest update, which added like a really amazing interface for cloud code. Um, which is kind of my gratitude is that tab of the desktop app, which like, when you open it up, it gives you like just an awesome little like, work summary of like comedy sessions [01:01:00] you’ve had, how many total tokens you’ve used, like overall the last 30 days, the last seven days, what your peak hour is your longest streak. It has the like GitHub, like little chart that fills in. Um, and, uh, and, and that’s like been really cool to see. Um, and you can also see your usage of various models. It’s just a nice little thing that pops up. And then when you’re actually working, it’s really amazing because you can pull up these sidebars that have like diffs or like a preview or you can just get a terminal open in there. Um, and I have. I have loved that. I still like feel more at home in the VS.
In this Broad Match Show, Danny McMillan and Adam Heist cover two of the most practical AI frontiers for Amazon sellers right now: getting direct API access to your Seller Central data and building a fully automated design workflow from inspiration through to live assets. Adam breaks down how he connected Amazon's SP API and Ads API to an AWS database and wired Claude Code directly to it — giving him real-time, queryable access to years of business data across any metric. No developer required. Danny walks through his 8-step system that takes a seller from a TikTok scroll to a finished, conversion-tested design with brand consistency baked in. Both share hard-won lessons on where AI gets you (the 70–85% mark) and where the human still needs to step in — plus a candid look at what's changing at Seller Sessions Live on May 9th. Key Topics Amazon API data pipeline — SP API + Ads API → AWS database → Claude Code for real-time analysis 8-step AI design workflow — Inspiration capture, memory/photo brain, brand system, mood board, asset generation, build, and quality gate CLI vs MCP — Why CLIs are becoming the cleaner integration path for tools like Google Workspace Seller Sessions Live (May 9th) — New modular format, no sponsors, £5,000 fine system for service providers pitching Health check-in — Adam on fitness goals; Danny on resolving a high ferritin (iron overload) diagnosis Timestamps [00:00] Welcome and introductions [01:10] Adam: Getting Amazon SP API and Ads API access as an individual brand [05:00] Storing API data in AWS and connecting it to Claude Code [07:30] Building custom dashboards and software from your own data [09:00] How to approach it if you're not technical — think first, screenshot issues, let Claude walk you through [12:25] Danny: 8-step AI design workflow overview [13:30] Step 1 — Inspiration capture from TikTok, YouTube, social reels [14:20] Steps 2–3 — Memory/photo brain + design system (52 world-leading brands baked in) [15:30] Steps 4–5 — TLDraw mood board + asset generation (Nano Banana 2, Gemini, Remotion) [17:50] Steps 6–7 — Build stage (React, Tailwind, ShadCN, Netlify deploy) [18:30] Step 8 — Quality gate (216-feature scoring: UX heuristics, typography, psychology) [19:30] Google Stitch + Perplexity demo: full brand system from a product title + screenshot [23:12] Adam: the 70–85% rule and how to think about AI-assisted design cycles [27:35] Danny: Google Workspace CLI for email — running launches under 3,000 contacts [29:26] Health updates — Adam on fitness; Danny on ferritin/iron overload and phlebotomy sessions [35:45] Seller Sessions Live May 9th — format, venue (inside a church), evening networking [41:49] The £5,000 fine system for service providers pitching at the event [43:01] Wrap-up Key Takeaways You can get Amazon API access as an individual brand — no developer credentials needed. SP API goes back 720 days; Ads API covers 60 days. Approval takes 1–2 days. AWS as a data warehouse for Amazon data — pipe the API into AWS, connect Claude Code to it, and query anything: anomalies, stock-outs, week-on-week comparisons, year-over-year trends. The non-technical workflow is: think → verbalize → screenshot issues → let Claude solve — you don't need to understand the infrastructure, just be clear on what you want to achieve. AI gets you to 70–85% fast — bring in your designer or team at stage 4, not stage 0. Cycle times drop from 6 weeks to 1 week. CLIs beat MCPs for tool integrations where available — less token overhead, fewer config issues, more cohesive experience in Claude Code. Google Workspace CLI can replace Mailchimp/Klaviyo for small lists — Gmail allows up to 3,000 sends per day; viable for product brand launches under that threshold. Seller Sessions Live is now sponsor-free and profitable on ticket revenue alone — the event model is shifting away from conference-style sponsorship dependency. Notable Quotes "Getting the actual real-time API data access has been just another level completely." — Adam Heist "The original thought is: I need to get API access and I need to connect that to Claude. That's my thinking. And then you literally just verbalize that and use screenshots as you get stuck." — Adam Heist "AI gets you to the finish line faster across way more dimensions, so instead of doing 600 things in a year, you're doing 2,000." — Adam Heist "We live in a time whereby execution in a way is taken care of by AI.

I sit down with James Dickerson, a growth marketer, Claude Code power user, and the mind behind The Boring Marketer, to watch him build an entire marketing system live from the terminal. James walks me through his full workflow: deep research with the Perplexity MCP, positioning angle discovery, direct response copywriting, landing page creation, lead magnet design, ad creative generation with Remotion, and traffic strategy — all inside Claude Code using stacked skills and MCPs. By the end, we have a conversion-ready funnel for a fictional AI marketing agency serving boring local businesses, and James shares the free playbook he created from a two-hour recorded session so listeners can replicate the process themselves.

Skills are instruction manuals for your AI agent — the expert perspective you build into them (the last 10–20%) is what separates great output from generic AI slop. You can build a complete marketing funnel — landing page, lead magnet, ad creative, SEO content, and traffic strategy — in a single Claude Code session. Remotion lets you create programmatic video ads directly from the terminal at zero cost, in multiple formats, with custom branding. An orchestrator skill can guide you through what to do next, removing the "I have a landing page, now what?" paralysis. The same Claude Code environment where you build products can also ship your entire marketing system — research, copy, design, and deployment in one place.

From football dreams to track passion, Bradley Moon's journey is one of faith, humility, and servant leadership. As founder of Sprint Free Training and co-creator of the upcoming Remotion app, Bradley's story shines a light on what happens when coaching goes beyond ego — focusing instead on relationships, respect, and doing it “for the kids.”In this inspiring season finale, Mike and Bradley unpack:
Viele von uns haben schon einmal Bilder bearbeitet. Aber Videos? Noch dazu mit Animationen und Effekten? Dafür muss man sich erst einmal in einige Tools einarbeiten. Darauf hatte unser heutiger Gast, Jonny Burger, keine Lust.Stattdessen hat er kurzerhand ein Framework geschaffen, mit dessen Hilfe wir Videos ganz einfach via Code erstellen können. Das Ergebnis seiner Arbeit ist Remotion – und heute nicht nur eine React Library, sondern ein eigenes Unternehmen.Gemeinsam sprechen wir über technische Hindernisse, die Wahl von React und die Stärke der Kopplung an das Framework, aber auch über die Lernkurve in Video-Encoder, Container-Formate und vieles mehr.Außerdem berichtet Jonny, wie er sein Start-up in die Schweizer Ausgabe von „Die Höhle der Löwen“ gebracht hat und wie es war, als Erster dort eine source-available JavaScript-Toolchain zu pitchen.Schreibt uns!

In gut einer Woche findet die Europawahl statt und 400 Millionen Europäer:innen sind aufgerufen, sich an der Wahl zum Europäischen Parlament zu beteiligen.In den letzten Jahren haben Wahl-Empfehlungs-Anwendungen eine immer prominentere Rolle eingenommen. Solche Apps führen meist mit Ja-/Nein-Fragen durch die wichtigsten politischen Themen. Sie geben eine Orientierung, welche Partei die größte Schnittmenge mit eigenen politischen Einstellungen hat. Wir in der programmier.bar wollen uns eine solche Software und die Menschen dahinter genauer anschauen.Matthias und Max haben mit ihrer Agentur MOVACT und dem Verein „VoteSwiper e.V.“ bereits zur Bundestagswahl 2017 den WahlSwiper online gebracht und seitdem einige Wahlen begleitet.Im Gespräch mit Jan erklären die beiden, warum sie das Projekt gestartet haben, welche Rolle der Tech-Stack dabei spielt und wie wichtig der Umgang mit der DSGVO – insbesondere in Europa – für sie war. Eine spannende Diskussion entlang der Schnittmenge von Politik, Technologie und Gesellschaft!Picks of the Day: Max: Remotion – Programmatisch Videos zu erstellen ist nicht gerade trivial. Daher will Remotion dir viel der Arbeit abnehmen und erlaubt dir, Animationen und Keyframes programmatisch zu definieren und anschließend als mp4-Video zu exportieren. Die Videos können dabei direkt in der Webanwendung abgespielt werden oder serverseitig für den späteren Gebrauch gerendert werden. Jan Gregor: Der Mann in Merkels Rechner - Jagd auf Putins Hacker – „Der Mann in Merkels Rechner“ ist eine Podcast-Produktion des BR und erzählt in fünf Folgen die Geschichte des Bundestagshacks von 2015 nach. Dabei kommen nicht nur Betroffene zu Wort, sondern auch Expert:innen aus dem Bereich Cybersecurity und Nachrichtendiensten. Der Podcast ist wunderbar aufbereitet und bleibt dennoch zugänglich – auch für Menschen mit wenig oder gar keiner Erfahrung auf dem Gebiet. Als kleinen Bonus gibt es eine Extra-Folge, welche die Anfänge der Cybersecurity beschreibt und erzählt, wieso 75 Cent dabei eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt haben... Matthias: Copilot+ – Microsoft hat kurz vor dem Start seiner jährlichen Build-Konferenz nicht nur eine Reihe neuer ARM-basierter Geräte vorgestellt, sondern auch demonstriert, welche Features unter dem Label „Copilot+“ ihren Weg zu Windows 11 finden werden – die richtige Hardware vorausgesetzt. So sollen gleich eine Vielzahl von LLMs dafür sorgen, dass deine Meetings sauber erfasst werden oder du in Paint nicht mehr selbst gestalten musst. Mit „Recall“ hat Microsoft außerdem ein Feature vorgestellt, das sämtliche Tätigkeiten an deinem PC protokolliert und auswertet, um dir später mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen zu können.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS How people misunderstand coaching, and how it's actually like magic. (I agree 100%) How coaching is a massage for the brain. We overcomplicate everything when simple will do just fine, including in coaching. The power of your first experience in anything and the belief box you build from there. The idea of reconsidering what you believed caused your burn-out in the past. The power behind the Transformation Cycle of Regroup, Relive, Remotion. "Most people don't even see us failing. We only see ourselves." The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Fabienne is, How can you use your past to find your heart and authenticity and move forward unapologetically bold?

Vytautas Petrošius atitrūko nuo ankstesnių kūrybinių idėjų su „Papūga“, „M-Theory“ ir „Red Milk“. Antrajame solo projekto „PETE ROCHE“ albume subrandino nuostabų pasivaikščiojimą po elektroninės muzikos erdves. Naujame darbe nugulė ankstesnės patirtys iš įrašų studijos, kelionių, šokių aikštelių. Jame vietos atsirado ir kažkada V. Petrošiaus nelabai mėgtam „Breaks“ stiliui. Monotonijos čia nebus – kiekvienas kūrinys ir juos papildantys vokalai veda vis kitur. „Albume „ReMotion“ užkoduotas grįžimas iš virtualios erdvės į judesį ir emocijas, kurias norisi patirti gyvai“, – apie naujojo įrašo idėją pasakojo V. Petrošius. Ved. Marius Andrijauskas

Robby has a chat with Senior Software Engineer, Avery Quinn. Avery was previously a Senior Software Engineer at Remotion. Avery starts by sharing that she finds well-maintained software to have cohesive modules, be singularly responsible in its functions, and have just a general level of refinement over time.They will dive into the benefits of having a skeleton project that you can experiment with when weighing up different dependencies, tips for onboarding engineers to your teams, things to consider when building desktop applications, what it is like to work as a consultant, and later at a product company, the software product that Remotion is building for remote software engineers, why measuring velocity on a team can be a useful metric to track, and how her recent employer tracks and prioritizes technical debt work. Avery will also share advice for those who are struggling to get buy-in to prioritize technical debt work.

The Coffee Talk episode is a treat. Łukasz Chludziński (https://twitter.com/loginlukasza) invited Michał Pierzchała, Head of Technology at Callstack (https://twitter.com/thymikee), and Jonny Burger, Creative Hacker at Remotion (https://twitter.com/JNYBGR) to talk about NPM Kiosk and open source monetization. As both Michał and Jonny experimented with gated access to libraries. Michał's last open-source project, Reassure (which he developed with Maciej Jastrzębski https://twitter.com/mdj_dev), had Beta access when it was released last June. The goal was to gather some feedback from early adopters. Michał and Maciej opted for a private registry to grant Beta access to their library. Jonny, the creator of Remotion, wanted to experiment with selling specific components. As Jonny couldn't find any tool that would solve all his problems and be easy for the buyer, he decided to hack his project – NPM Kiosk. What are the drawbacks and benefits of each option? What would they've done differently? How do you handle payment options? Tune in to find answers to these and other questions!

Alex Embiricos comes from an interesting background, having grown up all over the place - between Asia, the Caribbean, and Switzerland. He came to the states for college, and found his way into software after a stint in Aerospace. Ultimately, he found himself interested in the intersection between business and building technology. During his career, he spent a lot of time working at Dropbox, followed up by starting a company with his friends. Outside of tech, he loves to play Badminton, and when asked what his favorite food was, well... it is his Mom's food.After his prior startup failed, Alex still had the urge to build something. He met his now co-founder, and they started to explore ways to connect people online. What they noticed was that most video chat tools were created around a presentation, but not around solving problems together.This is the creation story of Remotion.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablSupportZebraLinksWebsite: https://remotion.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/embirico/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Engineering our Future Empowering Engineers to Become Leaders Podcast
Insights on Driving SQLs via LinkedIn Ads:1. Use benchmarks to identify competitive advantages.Look for instances where SQL rate (lead to meeting ratio) is 2-3x higher than average, and come up with a hypothesis as to what caused that growth.Then, see if you can duplicate it in another campaign.Once Remotion finds meaningful variance, they determine if the higher performance was owing to factors that can be duplicated.If so, they'll increase the budget and spin off a new campaign where they lean into the things that made the former campaign perform so well.2. Get qualitative insights into ad performance.His team uses common sense, and deep familiarity with their clients to create a hypothesis of why a campaign saw meaningful change in performance.By talking with clients, they're able to learn what's happening that might be affecting performance.For example, after talking with the client they learn that John – the company's best SDR – is on vacation.This is the cause of lower results down-funnel.And since they have access to their client's CRMs accounts, they're able to be proactive in looking at any other factors that impact ad results that they might not have seen by staring at performance numbers in the Ad platform.3. Remain “strategy agnostic” until you find what works for you.Gabriel has seen a lot of commonly accepted truisms fall on their face when applied to Clients in different countries or industries.4. Look at performance often enough to derive insights, but avoid knee-jerk decisions.Remotion gives each client gets their own real-time dashboard which shows: CPL Last 7-day CPL Trend over last 30 days Comparison to previous 30 days … and more.They know what a client's current CPL is every day.But for metrics further down the funnel, they evaluate them monthly. This helps them make more informed decisions based on proven trends, and avoid knee-jerk reactions to a bad (or good) week.5. Determine your campaign goals early.Most companies run 2 types of campaigns:Direct response = promote your product, get someone to talk to youContent = promote your POV & provide valueEach generates different outcomes, so choose the one that best serves your goals. If you aren't sure which type of campaign you want to run, Gabriel advises running both, then determining the CPL. Benchmark your performance to know if one is higher than the industry average. If it is, use that one.6. What companies get wrong about LinkedIn ads: Under-investing Being inconsistent Being unclear about their goal Not having messaging honed in Having an inactive audience on LinkedIn Not being ready (too early, no product-market fit) 7. Testing messaging through LinkedIn ads can be costly.You need a lot of data to see how it impacts SQO rate.For example, you want to run 2 tests: so you need 50 leads on each (100 total, to have enough meaningful data) > and your CPL is $100.That means 1 test costs 10k. This can be great if you have a 100k budget. But if your budget is 15k/mo, then it means you spent almost an entire month testing 1 message variant.If that's worth it, that's great. But Remotion finds that often, it's not significant enough to justify the investment.
In this week's show, Phil talks to Alexander Embiricos, cofounder and CEO of Remotion, a virtual office that brings hybrid teams to life. Before starting Remotion, he was a Product Manager at Dropbox, as well as having studied Computer Science at Stanford. Alexander talks about the value in identifying a customer base that you can relate to on a personal level. He also discusses the value in empowering others. KEY TAKEAWAYS: TOP CAREER TIP In your job, make sure that the people you deal with – your customer base – are the kinds of people that you enjoy talking to. WORST CAREER MOMENT While working for Dropbox, Alexander realized that he did not have the sufficient manpower to meet an important deadline. He ended up performing the work himself, but was advised that this was not the point of project managing. CAREER HIGHLIGHT A video call with a customer, which resulted in Alexander being told how useful the Remotion tool had been to their way of working. THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T Seeing how the community is able to build upon the work of others, iterating products and services, and pushing to see what is possible. THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – Being able to build upon other people's work. What's the best career advice you received? –Make sure that you enjoy talking to the people you have to talk to. What's the worst career advice you received? – Focus on what will get your promoted, and not what the customer needs. What would you do if you started your career now? – Become an engineer instead of a product manager. What are your current career objectives? – How to distribute products more effectively, and how to be a better manager. What's your number one non-technical skill? – Being curious about what other people think or are interested in. How do you keep your own career energized? – The feeling of creating something and delivering it. What do you do away from technology? – Sports and time with friends. FINAL CAREER TIP Always do your best to empower others so that they can solve problems for themselves. BEST MOMENTS (8:57) – Alexander – “Choose a target audience and make sure that, even when things are going horribly, that you'll feel energized about the conversation” (9:51) – Alexander - “Instead of focusing on what you're going to build, focus on who you are going to build for” (18:10) – Alexander – “In IT, it is much easier to build upon the work of others” (21:50)– Phil – “Everyone is different, so the way you deal with one person will be different to another” ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organizations to design, develop, and implement software solutions. Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers. And in 2017 Phil started the I.T.

In this conversation, they talk about: What is presence in the workplace? How to manage remote presence? How can digital tools help? Why we need more remote work.

Trond's takeaway The pandemic triggered changes in the workplace and now the durability of those changes are being tested. Both managers and employees need to ask themselves how to achieve desired presence and impact in their workplace and working lives. Some of it might be best achieved by being together in person, other needs can be satisfied by simply being together remotely. Work is usually about achieving something together. What that means is changing but there is no reason to think the dust is settled on this issue yet. Thanks for listening.

Alexander Embiricos is the CEO of Remotion. In this day and age, the vast majority of companies have employees that work remotely whether it is hybrid or fully remote. It can be tricky to figure out how to work alongside these employees but today's guest aims to change that. Alexander joins host Molly McGrath to talk about how to communicate with remote workers and embrace the remote work culture. Takeaways: Your employees and even your contracts can do even more if you just empower them and believe in them. The biggest thing you lose when you let go of the office is people talking to each other outside of work related needs. The human interaction of getting to know someone personally disappears. The hardest part about remote working is that it makes creating relationships with your co-workers more difficult than normal. You want to continue to support remote workability for your employees. This allows them to work in an environment they are comfortable with and work more productively. You can create a call with your co-workers where you mute yourselves the entire time, and just casually do your work and you can unmute to talk about life. Employee retention is something that many companies struggle with but it can be solved by having a work environment that people enjoy heading into. As a leader, it is your job to structure the environment around your company. You can do little things like showing appreciation for your co-workers. Quote of the Show: 3:44 “Your employees and even your contractors can do a lot more than they might be doing for you right now, if only you can empower them, which is to create a context where they can do what they wanna do for you and then basically get out of their way.” Links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/embirico LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/embirico/ Website: https://www.remotion.com/ Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Google Podcast - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vMTc4MTM2L3Jzcw Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions

Alexander Embiricos, Co-Founder and CEO, and Dan Wood, Chief Programmer at Remotion, introduce us to a different kind of tool to apply to remote work. Alex goes into the pre-pandemic origins of Remotion, the need for “ambient awareness” for remote workers, and provides a demo. Dan goes into how Remotion takes its cues from the macOS Dock, and why it is a “real” macOS app. (Part 1) This edition of MacVoices is supported by The MacVoices Slack.

Her kan du høre et interview med Depressionsforeningen, som jeg sagde ja tak til at deltage i tidligere på året. Jeg er stolt af, at værterne på Depressionsforeningens podcast Lyden af et Sundt Sind kalder min podcast for "rasende populær og rasende god". Men det er deres podcast nu også! Jeg havde egentligt forestillet mig, at det mest var noget med, at jeg skulle stille op som ekspert i stress, angst og depression, men det viste sig, at de var meget interesserede i min personlige historie. Hvilken jo til syvende og sidst også er det, der har gjort mig til en bedre psykolog og har givet mig en dyb viden på området, så det gav god mening. Lyt til episoden, hvor vi kommer ind på følgende: Det øjeblik jeg ikke kunne fortsætte men ramte stressmuren, og hvorfor det var fyldt med skam og selvbebrejdelserAt angst og depression ofte følger med alvorlig stressHvorfor jeg blev psykologHvorfor travlhed ikke må være en standardindstilling, og hvorfor jeg når mere, når jeg tager den med roStress som noget der ikke er en sygdom men mere et tegn på ubalance og et signal om, at vi skal kultivere mere ro og styrke i krop og sindHvem "Depressive Dorte" er, og hvad du kan bruge hende tilAt vi kan dyrke motion for at komme væk fra os selv, og hvordan du skal bevæge dig i stedetOg meget andet godt... Hvis du blev inspireret af denne episode, så tjek også følgende ud: Sygemeldt med stress?

In this episode of SaaS Marketing Superstars podcast, I spoke with Gabriel Ehrlich. Gabriel is a B2B marketing expert and the founder of Remotion, a LinkedIn Ads agency based in Tel Aviv where he has worked with clients such as WalkMe, Gong, Yotpo, Monday.com and many more.

We've all felt the exhaustion of back-to-back video calls. We know studies explain some of this fatigue: seeing ourselves on camera for hours at a time, for example. But is there more to the problem? Alexander Embiricos, Co-founder of Remotion, believes that the problem is work isn't meant to revolve around scheduled meetings. Teams need to build relationships, collaborate, and do solo work on their own time. Taking call after call can suck the creative energy out of the best of us. So, what can we do? Alexander thinks we need to focus on meeting at the right times — and not at the wrong times. He also believes that we need to prioritize strong relationships and geographic diversity to grow sustainable teams. Remotion helps remote teams connect better, and Alexander shares the journey he experienced with his co-founder — the problems they confronted first-hand and the solution they built to solve them.

Scott Johnson of Blitzscaling Ventures returns to the podcast to discuss another bumper crop of potentially blitzscalable deals. In this episode, we discuss and score three companies: Casai, EdLyft, and Remotion.
Working remotely often means back-to-back scheduled meetings and a constant barrage of text and email notifications. The result is exhaustion. But that doesn't mean coworkers don't want to talk to one another. Ad-hoc conversations are energizing and foster stronger team connections, which is why Remotion built a video workspace designed to enable colleagues to virtually "glance over" at one another and just start talking. Remotion CEO and co-founder Alexander Embiricos Greylock general partner and Remotion board member Sarah Guo talk about how Remotion is helping companies build a talk-live culture even while remote; how early customers are using the product; and his vision for the future of work. This episode is part of the #WorkFromAnywhere podcast series.
Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week Natasha was on vacation, so Danny and your humble servant had to endeavour alone. She's back next week, so we'll be back to full strength as a collective soon enough.But even with a depleted hosting crew, we had a mountain of news to get through. And to joke about, as Danny was in the mood for a laugh. Here's the rundown:Reddit Co-founder Alexis Ohanian’s New Venture Fund Invests in Disposable Camera App: Danny and I are arbiters of what is cool, so we were the perfect pair to discuss influencers and new social applications. This one is actually neat, and Ohanian's inclusion in the investment viz his new fund was noteworthy.Zira raises $3.1M for its shift-scheduling service that helps manage hourly workers: This is a round that I covered, looking into Zira.ai and its product. Our take? It's neat, but operates in a competitive market.Shogun raises $35M to help brands take on Amazon with faster and better sites of their own: This is a similar story. A neat company with a neat product in a space where the is proven demand (TAM, in other words), and competition.Unqork's $207M Series C underscores growing enterprise demand for no-code apps: Another round worth mentioning is the Unqork deal. Unqork is a no-code service that helps other businesses create apps for their companies. It's growing like a weed, and is thus something worth knowing a bit about.Mmhmm, Five-Month-Old Video Startup Making Virtual Meetings More Fun, Raises $31 Million Pre-Launch: Yes, mmhmm has raised more money, and, we're excited to learn, could be launching this very month.Remotion raises $13M to create a workplace video platform for short, spontaneous conversations: Following the Slack news, this round stood out to us. Who will build the remote work comms platform of the future that people like to use?And then there was a host of other stuff to get through, like the FirstMark SPAC news, Root's impending IPO, and more on Airbnb's impending public offering.That was a lot. We did our best. Hugs and chat with you next week!

Hallo Freunde, Bekannte, liebe Gäste, heute haben wir mal wieder ein DJ Duo bei KataHaifisch zu Gast. Es handelt sich um 2 Portugiesische Produzenten die sich vor über 4 Jahren zusammenschlossen, um gemeinsam als "Remotion" Techno Songs zu produzieren. Sie glänzen mit einem einzigartigen, spielerischen und zeitweise auch fututristischen Style, den sie auch in ihren Sets perfekt zur Geltung bringen. In der Vergangenheit releasten sie Tracks auf Labeln wie z.B. Elevate, Syncopate und Sync Forward. Letzteres haben die beiden 2010 zusammen mit ihren Freunden von der Crew Monotronik gegründet. Mittlerweile haben die beiden eine breite Palette an Liedern vorzuweisen, die letzte EP "Lucy" lief sehr erfolgreich und ergänzt komplentär das Gesamtbild der Diskographie. Zudem remixten sie bereits Tracks von Künstlern wie Luigi Madonna, Andres Gil und Marck D. Ich glaube mehr ist nicht zusagen, außer viel Spaß beim genießen.
