The title of this post is also the first sentence from my X bio. My purpose in writing isn't to educate others. I’ve been writing privately for years, I'm now sharing a portion of that journey.

My main goal is to improve my thinking. Should I have a second goal, it would be to spark curiosity in others.

```

This idea remains consistent across my ventures, including [Hey mind](https://heymind.co/), [Apt](https://tryapt.ai/chats), and [Vedanta](https://www.vedantaworld.org/). The mantra is simple: spark curiosity.

The power of curiosity lies in its simplicity yet significant impact. It's the antidote to fear.

Curiosity drives us to ask better questions rather than just seek answers. It's awesome to witness  to see so many curious minds on this platform.

Ep 15: I've no idea what I'm talking about

My writing with these daily episodes is never a final thought, there is a bigger change that I'll change my view completely in a week, or even a day!

I find groups interesting. The e/acc & EA debate that is ongoing is one filled with egos. I tweeted this morning:

"I'm all for innovation, but the god complex of some e/acc people is interesting."\
\
While discussing this with someone outside of tech, she simply said: "Looks like narcissism," and that's probably right.

Stratechery had a great [nuanced story on e/acc](https://stratechery.com/2023/regretful-accelerationism/), worth your time: \
\
*That this is spoiling the Internet \[AI\] is perhaps the best hope for finding our way back to what is real. Let the virtual world be one of customized content for every individual, with the assumption it is all made-up; some may lose themselves to the algorithm and AI friends, but perhaps more will realize that the only way to survive online is to pay it increasingly little heed.*

The Ready Player One comparison is interesting because if you look at the timeline of some e/acc people, they really want to live in a game; they've already built the car.\
\
I don’t listen to many podcasts anymore, and lately it becomes clear why; I was and still am tired of all the opinions. It’s more and more a game for attention (probably always was), which makes most people inauthentic.

It’s all a bit of a costume party, an amusement park.

Everything compounds, including ego.

And what's that?

A bird's nest.

Ep 19: Everything compounds

In a world where control is often associated with competence, it's somewhat radical idea to suggest that true strength lies in embracing chaos. The urge to control stems from a deep-seated insecurity, a fear of the unknown. It's a defensive strategy, more about avoiding failure than achieving success.

Instead move with chaos. It's about accepting the unpredictability of life and finding rhythm in the randomness. This approach doesn't mean abandoning responsibility or effort; rather, it involves a flexible mindset, adapting to changing circumstances with grace and creativity.

The paradox proves it's true: when we let go of the need to control, we often find ourselves more in control than ever before. In this surrender, there's a surprising power. It's a strange world indeed, where strength comes not from rigid control, but from the dance with chaos.

*You don’t have to let go, because there’s nothing to hold onto --* Alan Watts

Ep 14: Letting go

Questioning is more than seeking answers; it's about understanding. It challenges us to deconstruct and reexamine our deepest beliefs, leading to a clearer understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It's a process about unlearning, rather than accumulating more knowledge.

"*Asking the right question is more important than finding the right answer because the question defines the path we take*." — Jed McKenna 

But this journey isn't comfortable. It demands relentless questioning of everything we consider true. The most profound questions often don't lead to straightforward answers; instead, they dissolve long-held illusions and open up new ways of understanding.

Similarly, the practice of writing serves as another fundamental pathway to deeper understanding, paralleling the introspective nature of questioning. Writing, is not about ease or efficiency; it's about deep reasoning and self-discovery. Writing, in its essence, demands critical thinking, unraveling complex ideas, and testing understanding, much like the process of questioning. It's a continuous process of editing and reassembling, fostering clear thinking and unique insights.

Embracing uncertainty through questioning and writing allows us to explore new perspectives and possibilities, which will help you in any field. It's a reminder that the journey and the questions we ask are often more important than the answers we find. 

"*The most significant questions in life are indeed the ones we are too afraid to ask because they challenge our deeply-held notions.*" — Jed McKenna

First of all, thanks for all the support yesterday! I guess there's no way back now!

Let's dive into today's post:

I've come to realize that my work predominantly revolves around products that focus on the ‘human mind’. At the center of my adventures is 'Hey Mind', my own startup. I also contribute to Les, a non-profit focused on end-of-life support, and work with 'Apt', where people explore their identity and purpose. Additionally, I'm involved with 'Vedanta Academy', teaching the profound principles of Vedanta in India, among other projects. I’m eager to do more in this space, which means it needs a central place.

Inspired by Arc, I've cheekily borrowed their companies name for my new adventure, and will name my new company 'The Mind Company of Amsterdam' (TMCA). This playful nod goes beyond just a name; it symbolizes the broader idea where I want to invest my time and energy—or more precisely, my mind in this market.

With over a decade in the industry, I've witnessed firsthand the importance of market alignment. Especially in an era revolutionized by AI, it's time to invest in ventures that matter.

If you're passionate about building human-centric solutions, I'd love to connect!

See you tomorrow,

The CEO of The Mind Company of Amsterdam ;-)

Day 2: The Mind Company of Amsterdam

In companies, I think the biggest obstacle (to innovate) is fear. Because of fear, people don’t ask the right questions.

The Reasoning Machine, a concept I'm exploring, represents a new frontier in how AI can empower the workplace. It's a tool designed to enhance decision-making and problem-solving, aiming to reshape how we address challenges in a professional setting.

Often, people - leaders - say they create an open culture, but do they really? Are they truly open and honest themselves? Probably not. I think AI, providing a personal space that turns any blank canvas into *something*, can play a huge role in daily communication and make people more curious to explore their own obstacles.

At its core, the Reasoning Machine is about breaking down barriers. It seeks to address employee insecurities and improve communication, fostering an environment where open questioning leads to enhanced job performance.

Today, during my walk, I brainstormed with GPT-4 about the types of questions employees can ask to boost productivity and creativity. We developed an initial prompt and constructed the first concept of the Reasoning Machine, all while on a walk. \
\
The future looks pretty damn epic. \
\
See ya,

Some notes below!

**Reflective questions inspired by this concept:**

1. How do I react to challenges or uncertainties in a work setting?

2. What fears or insecurities might I have about asking questions or making decisions at work?

3. How can I effectively use AI tools like the Reasoning Machine to improve my problem-solving skills?

4. What strategies can I adopt to enhance my communication and decision-making abilities?

5. What are the key skills I need to develop to be more confident and effective in a professional environment?

6. How can I measure my progress in areas such as decision-making, communication, and productivity?

7. What steps can I take to foster a mindset of continuous learning and curiosity?

8. How can I create a balance between seeking guidance and developing my independent problem-solving abilities?

9. In what ways can I contribute to a culture of open communication and support among my peers?

**\
Some topic ideas that I want to explore:**

1. Embracing Curiosity: How Asking Questions Can Transform Your Career

2. Overcoming Fear in Decision Making: Strategies for Success

3. The Power of AI in Enhancing Employee Performance

4. Building a Culture of Open Communication: Lessons from Leading Companies

5. Navigating Workplace Insecurities: A Guide to Personal Empowerment

**A prompt that 'we' used to simulate a conversation of the reasoning machine:** \
\
*Hello and welcome to the Reasoning Machine! I'm here to help you navigate through your workplace challenges. Whether you're feeling unsure about a decision, have questions you're hesitant to ask, or want to improve your skills, I'm here for you. Please share what's on your mind, and let's explore solutions together.*

**Me with a problem:**

*Let's say it's about the salesperson and this person doesn't reach their targets and they don't know how to get there.*

**ChatGPT:** \
\
As the "Reasoning Machine", the response to this scenario would be:

"Thank you for sharing that. Not reaching sales targets can be challenging, but there are ways to improve. Let's start by exploring a few questions:

1. Can you identify any specific areas in the sales process where you feel less confident or encounter more difficulties?

2. Have there been any changes in the market or customer preferences that might be affecting your sales?

3. How do you currently approach your sales targets? Are there any strategies you've tried that haven't worked as well as you hoped?

Understanding these aspects can help us pinpoint areas for improvement and develop a plan to help you reach your targets."

This approach encourages the salesperson to analyze their situation more deeply, providing crucial information that the AI (or a manager) can use to offer specific, actionable advice. What would the salesperson's response be in this simulation?

Ep 16: The Reasoning Machine

I've always been fascinated by the idea of 'remixing' ideas. This concept first caught my attention on a coding site - which name I forget but the logo was some kind of fish ;) - where you could remix projects into something new, similar to GitHub's 'forking'. The site was at the time more playful and socially designed than GitHub. I don’t think it ever took.

Ok... After writing this post, I asked GPT about the name, and it knew! They are still around! Replit took the crown, huh?

```

Nevertheless, I really like the remix button; humans have always combined ideas to create something new. It's how we progress and innovate.

With AI, especially GPT apps, this becomes even more accessible. The canvas is never empty; there's always a response, a new idea, something to remix.

You can ponder your thoughts, share problems, and imagine how thinkers like Alan Watts might solve them.

You can even simulate conversations between historical figures like Jobs and Da Vinci.

The strangest combinations often create the most innovative ideas or are at the root of new inisghts, which is crucial for building a better future.

As Steve Jobs said, the world belongs to the misfits, the 'crazy ones.' Now, anyone can brainstorm crazy ideas, with access to the world's knowledge graph, anytime, anywhere, without judgment or consequences. Insecurity holds people back, removing this IS a big deal, not many people realize this because they are stuck in Plato’s cave.

Reasoning can help you connect the dots, not only looking backward but in the present moment.

My countless learning experiences with GPT exemplify this. Reasoning with information is a hidden gem of Large Language Models (LLMs).

Last night while building MirrorAI:

*Welcome to the Mirror AI. As we begin, remember that this is a place for you to explore your thoughts and beliefs. Let's start with a simple question: Reflect on a recent event that caused you discomfort or anger. Describe the situation, how you reacted, and what thoughts were running through your mind at that moment.*

Follow-up Prompts:

1. What did this reaction tell you about what you value or what you're attached to?

2. How did your perception of yourself influence how you felt about this event?

3. In what ways might your ego have shaped your response?

4. Imagine if you had no personal stake in the outcome of the event. How might you have reacted differently?

AI might be a better ‘coach’ (hate that word!) than we are willing to admit.

My controversial take is; that it is better than 99% of the coaches out there, for the simple reason you are willing to speak the quiet thought out loud which you are not willing to share with another person. Why local AI is important.

Most people don’t think; they sleepwalk into most events, that AI can help you think is really something.\
\
And of course, pen and paper is enough, but who is using this deep inside the plato's cave?

See ya!

Day 6: A reasoning machine

I watched "Apocalypse Now" yesterday, what a epic movie. [Jed McKenna](https://heymindai.co/chat?name=Jed+McKenna) has a theory that this film is about the filmmaker who took his first step. [This podcast](https://www.infiniteloopspodcast.com/trung-phan-rob-henderson-apocalypse-now-ep178/) discusses this concept as well, worth listening to if you're curious about what the movie is about. 

Onwards.

ChatGPT wrappers, as they are commonly referred to, will always be a part of the landscape. A segment within the tech community might say, "You can do this with ChatGPT," but the general person approaches technology differently. They experience a problem, find a solution that works, and use it. Their focus is on practicality, not the underlying mechanics. They adopt these tools out of necessity, not out of curiosity.

Critics of ChatGPT wrappers often fall into a category that overcomplicates things. They live in the middle of the bell curve.

In my interactions with mainstream businesses, I've realized many people still don’t know anything about AI - it's only been a year! - and its potential. For instance, while having a conversation with the CEO of a trucking company, I discovered he had never used ChatGPT. This highlights a huge potential for transformation in businesses as they begin to integrate AI, even minimally, to address their challenges.

Everything will change; the writing is on the wall. A good example of guys building the future is Jordan Singer. Check out [this demo;](https://x.com/jsngr/status/1731393088013131944?s=20) it's freaking awesome. With makereal.tldraw.com, we will simply sketch out ideas, and the feature will come to life. How will this not impact our current software landscape?\
\
Another example comes from the Basecamp guys, with their new venture [once.com](https://once.com/), where they don't really, or only, believe in SaaS business, because the landscape has changed. Shopify is paying millions for Slack, which is kinda insane. They are now building a competitor that you only have to pay for once.

It becomes easier to build software; therefore, it will be cheaper. Software might even build itself, on the fly, just to solve your problem.

A founders best friend.

As we reflect on the myriad problems humanity faces, it becomes increasingly clear that these are not just someone else's issues; they are ours to own and solve. We created the problems, so logically, we should also be able to solve them.

The interconnectedness of global challenges is undeniable. Actions taken in one part of the world have ripple effects across the globe. Understanding this interconnectedness is crucial, as it implies that our actions, no matter how small, can contribute to larger change. It's about finding solutions that are both effective and sustainable, aligning with the complex web of life.

One of the most important things we can do is to take responsibility for our part in the issues. This shift from complaining to taking action is not just a matter of doing something; it's about empowering ourselves and those around us. By acknowledging our role, we move from a place of helplessness to a position of power. This empowerment is deeply connected to our inner transformation. As we change our perceptions and understand our interconnectedness with the world, our actions become more effective and meaningful. This internal change is as important as the external actions we take.

Every time I find myself in a challenging situation and move on to taking action, my perspective on the problem changes radically. This mindset shift creates space, and creative solutions start to appear.

We create a prison of our minds when we complain. Emotion creates a narrow view of the problem, and eventually, of the world. In the end, it’s all about perception; change this, and we all could have flying cars.

This awareness is the first step towards meaningful change. Each of us has the power to make a difference in our own lives, and it's only when we start to see and utilize this power that things truly begin to get better.

Even when a complaint seems to make sense and feel righteous, it doesn’t matter. This might be unfair, but it is reality. Less emotion, more action. Solving something - taking action - really gives meaning to life, so why not work hard for this? Even when it seems impossible, there is a way.

Solving problems is easier than it looks; we've been told things are impossible.

But why should that be true?

Just take the first step.

In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, prisoners are trapped in an underground chamber, staring at a wall where shadows cast by a fire become their entire understanding of reality. This scenario parallels life decisions: if your first step is in the wrong direction, every subsequent move will keep you further from your true destination. Just like the prisoners must turn to see the fire and reevaluate their 'reality,' you too have the option to reconsider your initial choices and assumptions. 

In today's world, we often chase quick answers—from instant Google results to ready-made advice in self-help books. Yet, what if the real journey isn't in the answers we find, but in the questions we dare to ask ourselves? Consider these questions as your compass, guiding you through the labyrinth of your inner world, redirecting your steps toward a more authentic reality, moving from ego to authenticity: who am I beyond labels? 

However, we often seek refuge in distractions—be it entertainment or materialism, even fear—chasing shadows that only tether us more firmly to illusion, into the cave. 

Your mind is a vast landscape, teeming with questions waiting to be asked, ready to explore. 

Our goal with [Hey mind](https://heymind.co/) is to build a mirror in which you may see beyond the masks, beyond the dream, outside the cave.

It's perplexing why people fabricate extreme theories, only to be debunked within 24 hours. Perhaps our lives are so dull that we crave these stories for escapism.

Even if a small fraction of these theories turns out to be true, the amount of baseless speculation is concerning. Moreover, certain accounts seize this chance to spread dubious information about key figures involved.

Yesterday, I argued that [social media is dead](https://read.cv/sven10hove/abngLumGU7jtGpghPwyi). Despite the buzz on Twitter this weekend that might have made it feel alive, clarity was clearly lacking. It's a paradox: the more we share, the less we actually know.

Is this the fault of social media, or does it simply expose who we are? I don’t know.

In every company, chaos is a constant, irrespective of its fame. Decisions shaping leadership and the course of technology, as pivotal as electricity, must not hinge on the whims of a select few, especially on their off days.

This struggle to find alignment among ourselves hints at a greater challenge in aligning AGI – almost impossible in today’s hive mind.

Anyway, on to the next drama.

Day 4: Who to follow?

This new series was a completely random action, with no thinking behind it. I thought it was fun and decided to run with it. I chose read.cv simply because it feels good, and I love the overall design. I see early signs that this might become an awesome community. I'm not a typical social media guy, except for the fact that I follow people.

Many Twitter clones have risen over the last couple of months, for various reasons. While following this trend, it has become very clear that niches win. Social media for the masses is dead; most people left are either angry or selling stuff.

"Subscale over scale" signifies a crucial change in our growth and development strategy. In a society fixated on expansion and wide audience reach, this concept advocates for concentrating on smaller, more impactful projects. It's about seeking depth over breadth. In the business realm, it involves focusing on specific niches rather than trying to cater to the masses. This mindset prioritizes the value of unique, authentic personal experiences and connections over mere numbers, fostering more meaningful and sustainable progress both personally and professionally.

From day one of this series the response here was encouraging, with numerous likes and some new followers, which I find quite cool. However, on Twitter, the reaction was non-existent.

Day 3: Is social media dead?

What is good design? This is a question I grapple with daily. Although I don’t have a definitive answer, I know what it isn’t. Consider the launch of the new social media platform amo.co, which seem to celebrate innovation and a doing things differently, yet resorts to old dark patterns, like forcing users to sync their contact lists. This is a classic example of bad design and a failure to build trust.

Btw. I would move that label (on btn) 1px up. \

Anyway... \
\
What follows after this step becomes irrelevant. It’s neither welcoming nor transparent, instead feeling secretive and uninviting.

Remember Google’s "Don’t be evil"? This feels like the same shit all over again.

The design community’s praise for such an app on Twitter highlights our shared struggle: defining what truly makes for good design. Conversations on large media platforms like Twitter are often driven by the desire for likes and the urge to be praised, rather than sharing authentic opinions.

*"I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it’s not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised." — Michael Scott*

Design frequently over-celebrates flashy buttons and the latest Gen Z vibe aesthetics, ignoring crucial elements like trust and problem-solving.

The foundation upon which companies are built is crucial. We often hide behind the stories we create rather than truly understanding ourselves. Thus, perception becomes reality, but is that really the case?\
\
These challenges aren’t resolved by working just an hour a day for one client, without meaningful conversation, where design is merely a checklist dictated by others. It’s about asking the right questions, a process that is inherently difficult and full of mistakes.\
\
Is good design hard? Well, in case of Amo, not really. \
\
Add one label: \
\
*Skip*\
\
And The UX would be completely different. \
\
See how easy that is? \
\
Lets do better.

Day 9: What is good design?

In the tech-driven era, starting a business should be characterized by authenticity, mastery, and connecting with a genuine desire. These principles help entrepreneurs create not just successful business, but also ventures that are deeply meaningful and impactful, offering insights into the 'world'.

\
Every challenge and success along this path is a learning opportunity. While I generally view groups and movements with skepticism, the concept of e/acc, is intriguing. It aligns with my belief that in life, one should aim to accelerate - or to keep moving forward.

However, my reservation with groups lies in the tendency to idolize leaders and romanticize their ideas, we seem to love hierarchy,  which can lead to a loss of authenticity. I experienced this firsthand, it's easy to 'steal masks' from role models, adopting their personas without realizing it, and thus playing a role rather than being true to oneself.

Groups can divert attention from the crucial process of individual introspection. They can overshadow the personal journey that is essential in understanding oneself and achieving true 'success' in life.

What ever that may mean for you. \

### **it's time for a new adventure, one where you learn about your own mind.**

Often we think that we need a lot of, books, coaches, courses, how-to's, 5 step plans to understand how things work. We try to grow, become better, learn.

We try to define what we think, feel, do and based on these definitions we seek a way out, a solution.

It's always about more knowledge, ideas, concepts.

But what if everything is upside down?

What if it's not about getting more, holding on to, but about letting go. Not about going somewhere, but realising it's already here. Not about learning, but about unlearning.

The point of this project is to ask all of these questions. A simple notebook where you can figure it out for yourself.

Without courses, tips, 5 step plans but through direct experience.

Just a blank page, for you to explore what is real.

Who am I?\
\
**Our newest feature: mind AI**

Have conversation with philosophers like; Alan Watts, Lao Tzu, Nietzsche and many more to eventually have the conversation with yourself. Below the answers on the question on why we should explore our own mind;\
\
Lao Tzu:  \
"*I explored my own mind by turning my attention inward and observing my thoughts and feelings. I sought to understand my true nature and the nature of reality, which was the basis of my teachings.\
\
When you dive into the depths of your own mind, you can gain a greater understanding of yourself and the world around you."* \
\
Alan Watts: \
"\*It's important because it helps me to understand my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. It also helps me to gain insight into the world around me and my place in it. By understanding my own mind, I am better able to make decisions that are in my best interest and to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life."\
*\
Rumi:*\
"\*Exploring one's own mind is important because it can provide insight into our true nature, motivations, and values. By reflecting on our thoughts and feelings, we can develop greater self-awareness and can come to better understand why we make the decisions that we do. This can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and with others."\

Management consultancies like McKinsey once thrived on Boomers trust. But as younger, skeptical minds rise to leadership positions, these firms are at risk of becoming obsolete. With the advent of AI, new and more efficient solutions are set to replace outdated models.

Two primary forces drive market shifts: generational mindset changes and technological innovations. When these align, the rate of change can escalate exponentially. For example, the younger generation's skepticism about traditional consultancy is amplified by AI-based decision-making tools. This confluence creates a fertile ground for rapid, transformative changes.

Act accordingly.

Hey mind v2 - A mirror for the mind

I ordered new WiFi the other day, and upon delivery, there was an issue with the network in my area. Not a single person was able to help me, and it will take another month before it's fixed. None of the people I spoke to were to blame / had skin in the game, and now I'm trying to get my money back for the service I paid for but did not receive, finding myself stuck in a corporate maze where 'computer says no'. It's always hard to communicate with people who don't own a project, and in my opinion, everyone should.

```

This frustrating maze of unaccountable interactions with the WiFi company showcases the larger issue I’ve observed in many corporate environments. It highlighted a glaring lack of personal investment and ownership in one’s work, a pattern all too common in the modern workplace.\
\
Meaningful learning is rooted in deeply owning a project throughout its entire lifecycle. This philosophy advocates feeling the full weight of each decision, enduring the scars of mistakes, and relishing the triumphs. Such an approach starkly contrasts with the transient nature of consultancy and any other corporate job, as it often lacks the depth and lasting engagement necessary for developing a robust, three-dimensional understanding.

Why not actively pursue projects that align with our values and passions? This resonates with the concept of “Subscale over scale,” a principle that underscores the importance of creating impactful, meaningful work, rather than pursuing expansion, growth, or work for its own sake. By immersing ourselves in projects that ignite our genuine interest, we can build something truly noteworthy, even if it's on a smaller scale. It's always satisfying to make something, a joy we experience as children and should never give up.

Besides, deep involvement allows us to feel the direct impact of our choices and compels us to confront the consequences head-on, fostering a learning environment rich with real-world insights. This journey isn't just about producing work that resonates; it's about crafting something that endures and better understanding the consequences of what we do.

As we navigate our professional journeys, why not challenge ourselves to seek more than just surface-level engagements. Let’s commit to projects that we can own, learn from deeply, and see through to their impact. Lets transcend the superficiality of fleeting engagements and strive for depth, resilience, and authentic expertise.

Day 5: Don't hide

Running feels easy when you're not tired and the weather is pleasant. The real challenge emerges once fatigue sets in, and your mind conjures all sorts of tricks to end the discomfort.

Perseverance in these moments is what truly tests you.

It's precisely in these moments that you can learn something new, and if you want to get ahead, you have to keep going. 

Maintaining distance from your 'monkey mind' is crucial. That voice may seem real, but is it? 

Life throws various challenges at you, entangling you in an emotional pit.

Keep going forward is the only meaningful game.

Everything else?

Irrelevant.

Day 13: Further

I often write down my thoughts [privately](http://heymind.co) and occasionally sharing them with the world. Today marks the start of a new journey: creating a daily writing habit publicly. From today onward, I'll be sharing mini-posts here on my profile, diving into whatever topic that comes to mind.

Writing is a tool for organizing my thoughts and connecting the dots. It's a journey of self-discovery and clarity.

Yesterday I  launch a side project, [stempiloot.nl](https://stempiloot.nl/). This simple landing page directs users to a series of GPTs I've developed, aimed at aiding Dutch voters in making well-informed political decisions.

Over the past year, I've really gotten into AI. It began with a prototype for the startup I worked for, Invisibly - a 'morning show' where you can listen to (and summarize) articles you like. Thanks to OpenAI and Play.ht, building a feature like this was very easy. That was just the start. Next, I build [heymindai.co](https://heymindai.co/chat?name=Lao+Tzu), driven by my interest in philosophy. For this, I hired a freelance developer, costing $5k.

Fast forward to yesterday: we launched [StemPiloot](https://stempiloot.nl/) in just 2 hours, at no cost. It's astonishing how much can happen in a year, especially in a field that's evolving so rapidly. We're entering an era where innovation is becoming increasingly affordable, paving the way for solutions to the world's myriad challenges. As Marc Andreessen aptly said, "It's time to build."\
\
See ya.

Day 1: The start.

The rise of citizen developers heralds a new era, where technology creation is no longer exclusive to coding experts but open to all. This shift encourages individuals to craft solutions based on vision rather than technical know-how, transcending traditional app development. It represents a deeper evolution in technology creation, fostering innovation and wider participation in a culture where technology is collaboratively shaped. Power to the people!

```

This evolution from passive users to active creators charts a course towards a future where technology is more personal, diverse, and inclusive. The story of citizen developers is not merely about the tools they employ; it’s about the ideas they actualize and the obstacles they dismantle, forging a world where anyone can be the architect of their digital journey.

I’m a designer with limited development experience, deeply fascinated by the potential of AI agents and eager to learn more. To experiment with this concept of citizen development, I will assemble my own team of agents in the coming weeks, aiming to boost my productivity.

This post is partially crafted with the help of my own AI agent, enhancing its structure and spelling. These posts are never fully automated. As I previously stated, I perceive AI as a reasoning machine, a tool for accomplishing more, better.

The fact that I managed to set up a RAG system by myself in just a few hours astonishes me, all thanks to the vast array of available resources. Now having something I can fine-tune is truly exhilarating.

As Naval says, it's about the number of iterations, not the hours spent. Owning my tool, more than just ChatGPT, provides a blank canvas for boundless creativity. Exciting times, see you tomorrow.

Day 7: Citizen Developers.

This idea - which seems true - encapsulates our journey into the future. It's not about the ‘thing’ itself; it's about the mind - the starting point of each journey.

```

In an era where AI redefines intelligence, our 'self-worth' is undergoing a shift. The tasks once defining our capabilities will now be effortlessly managed by computers. This evolution in AI isn't just technological progress; it's a change for a collective mindset.

The journey of the future is yours to make. It starts with the courage to take that first step - recognizing that within you lies the power to solve problems, innovate, and understand the self. To adapt. \
\
The future isn't just something that happens; it's something we actively shape, with every thought, every action, and every dream.

Writing as you would with a friend can lead to more nuanced conversation with interesting outcomes.

I think people were never good listeners, but social media made us more deaf. 

The truth often lies in the gray areas, not in absolute black or white.

Memes are effective in attracting like-minded individuals, but isn't real innovation about bringing people with opposing views together to work towards a common future with more prosperity?

We live too much on the surface. It should be less important what you do, but more importantly, why you do it. What is your sincere motivation? Is it authentic?

One day, out of nowhere, you’re blindfolded and taken into a van. A couple of hours later, you are dropped off in the middle of the forest.

Now what? In a situation like this, two things are important:

1\. You have to know where you are.

2\. You have to know where you want to go.

Sorry for the somewhat dramatic opening, but it illustrates a common situation, particularly in product development and AI assistants.

AI assistants exist to help, but effective assistance hinges on two key insights: understanding where a person is and where they aim to go.

It’s not easy to understand a person current postion, even for them it’s not an easy question; you need to really think about this.

For instance, if you're looking to enhance a skill, assessing your current level is vital. A generic label like 'senior' is insufficient. What's required is a candid, in-depth conversation—and this takes time.

The other question is even harder: Where do you want to go?

This depends on your genuine desire, which then must be defined in a very specific manner. A vague direction like "let's go south" won't help you; clarity is key.

These questions influence my approach to designing more effective products. They foster an environment that assists individuals in establishing their starting point (step 1) and in mapping out their destination (step 2).
