No One Likes to Run

Starting is easy, but midway through, something starts to hurt. Just when you think you’ve mastered a distance, you add on a few more, thinking it will be nothing and hurt even more. Figuring out your pace is hard; some days you are on fire, other days you’re way behind. To improve, you need to show up every day. It’s not only about running, mixing in biking and hills can help, but they aren’t always running, it’s something else. If you’re running for fun, that’s great, but most people have a goal in mind, and reaching that goal can be

Yes, with any AI tool, you can build a product in 2 minutes. But what is your ship rate? What is your customer acquisition rate? Even better, what is the customer referral rate?

Making Up Answers

I ran into this scenario with Claude a few weeks ago. I was trying to figure out what an API can and cannot do. In an effort to make me happy, it made up a method for an API that did not exist.

And then it kept going on, until I went back to the piece about it, fabricating an endpoint. Yes, I did — and I shouldn’t have. I presented that URL with confidence as if it
