One of the great motivating forces of humanity… Is laziness.
Yes, I know it’s a little bit ironic, but without going into detail, let’s just say that it’s a subtle and interesting force. And with that in mind, no greater solution to human laziness I think has been the advent of artificial intelligence.
One of the fun little projects I’ve been experimenting with is with Claude Code. How interesting considering how just a few days ago I was one of those people who would dismiss the very idea of using multiple AI agents as ludicrous. Frankly, ChatGPT has been enough for me, and it likely will continue to be enough for me under the vast majority of all circumstances, purely because of its superior transcription capabilities.
Initially, I bought the $100 USD Max Plan only because I could thought I could use it for autonomously controlling my computer through a Chrome extension which I thus far still haven’t gotten access to, but it turns out that I’ve been using the quota allocation for something a little bit more productive.
With that in mind, here I have two small coding projects already:
1. A social media scheduler that connects to your respective Instagram and Facebook as well as LinkedIn APIs for scheduling posting
2. This new NLE that I’m working on called Verbatim.
It’s all very interesting to try out and I’ve been learning quite a fair bit about software development; it’s going to have to break in a whole bunch of different ways before we get it all entirely right I imagine, but I am pleasantly surprised at how amazing this is though.
I don’t think that I have gotten into this if I were lazy in the way that I am.
Well, I guess there’s something good about everything really, laziness included – but is it really laziness at the end of the day if you are creating stuff every day just because it’s fun?
