“Sending reminders is a software problem, but motivation is not.”

Maybe there *is* still chance for taste in new products- the AIs revert to mean but also empower new people (who haven’t conformed over their career), opening up more pathways for taste I dont know UX design best practice; my AI offers suggestions, but in end it does what I say

As a busy mom of little kids— AI lets me take things a lot farther in passion projects that I wouldn’t otherwise have time for. It’s freeing!

Won’t lie. Cowork multiple choice is giving me standardized testing vibes

Is it just me, or are people more casual about relating their AI projects to the their lives as parents more so than we ever heard with SaaS? Definitely hearing this in podcasts lately

The first 5 years of parenthood have no name. We have terms like 4th trimester and names for kid ages (terrible 2s), but nothing about parents’ new experience learning to caregive. Theres constant resetting, new mental load, figuring out how to work together What do you call it?

We can now build products super fast. But products take time to live in the real world to develop their meaning and value. And that takes time (albeit now accelerated)

We still don’t have good frameworks / tools (beyond “the village”) for this stage of early parenting. Most of what’s available in the mainstream are for when your kid is a baby or 5yo+

Even Claude notices my obsession with Herb Simon

Fun example of Japanese maintenance: Make the air filter so cute you recognize it and realize it needs to be changed

Claude Code with Remote Control while you’re nap-trapped with a jet lagged 3 year old at 3am (ie pretending you’re asleep so they go back to sleep) feels like a super power

For parents actively using Openclaw— Which elements have you found it truly helps you get rid of the invisible load, and which elements do you still personally carry the invisible load but it just executes the tasks for you?

I feel this, but for household ops AI Most families don’t know how to look at their day-to-day as chunkable actions addressable by AI. Will take some practice to see in a new way.
