Maybe weird question:
What is the feedback you wish you had gotten at a point in time so you would have been able to kill and idea or project you where working on?

9 years of data on myself!
Every night before going to bed I register some statistics about how I feel.
2025 has in this sense been a prett average year. So hoping 2026 can bring more community, new acquaintances and lots of fun!

“What do you think?” is the worst question you can ask.
I think we fail at getting the feedback we need because we ask wrong when we request it. Or we get defensive when we get it.
Want some feedback on your projects?
Why not request it on CoAmplio.com?

Even though I try to keep up with most things AI, for personal projects I've gone all out @anthropic.com. It just feels like these guys have more fun than some of the others when I use their products.
And I like to prioritize fun over a lot of things. (when I can)

Where would you go to get feedback before you had a finished piece to put on Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok or any other forum you want to share the finished product?
Friends? Family? Or do you have a go to place online?

Only fitting that the first feedback request on CoAmplio is a request for feedback on CoAmplio itself. Will be a fun time capsule to look at if we are able to grow.
Want to give us some feedback, or want feedback yourself? Why not join us at coamplio.com?

The hardest part of learning something new isn't really the beginning, or the end. It's the messy middle.
When you know some basics and need guidance and feedback on the work you know isn't great and want to improve it!
That's why we are building www.CoAmplio.com!

For fun I'm going to start streaming some sessions where we build the feedback community I want to try and build.
So come and give me feedback when I try to build something to make actionable feedback more accessible to everyone!

Is AI more data or more analytics? I saw someone on LinkedIn announcing they changed their name to Data and AI because Analytics was soooo "2018".
To me this makes no sense. AI does not replace data or analytics. AI is a tool, use it when it makes sense. don't force it as the solution.

So after starting to use Claude Code I feel like Claude and my relationship is on quite the journey. So let's just start today and see how it evolves.
Day 1: Claude is starting to realize tons of changes at a time might be a bad idea.

Asking Claude Code to predict the outcome of a deploy to Azure it struggling with and getting output like this is A+
"Given my track record in this conversation of not
catching issues upfront, and the fact that the user is
asking me to predict, I suspect it might not have
worked."

The thing I still say the most to f.ex Claude Code is "keep things simple".
So often the logic that is being implemented is way to complex and breaks at some point down the line. So being able to go back and sometimes say "I would do it this way" to guide seems extremely important.

By the way if you haven't watched @jackconte.bsky.social ackconte.bsky.social talk from @sxsw.com from last year called "the Death of the Follower" you should go do that!

One of my fears with everyone using AI for everything is that everything will become extremely mediocre and it will be harder to find the things that stand out.

The machine I want to exist, but probably never will is the machine that let's us say the phrase "I know how you feel" and ACTUALLY feel it! 😅
Finally I could understand how someone can break into crying when seeing a celebrity!
Probably won't be all positive feeling though, but interesting? YES!
