SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - How long have you been living the Claude-life, and when did it dawn on you to make this central to your day-to-day activities?

Topic 2 - What were the biggest hurdles you had to overcome before you trusted the system and started letting it have ownership over tasks and workflows?

Topic 3 - What are some of your best practices in terms of machine setup, how or where you store data, how you decide what to give it access to? Walk me through your thoughts around things like keeping things simple, where to be complex, how you think about security, etc.

Topic 4 - How are you learning to give it more responsibilities, or just figure out new ways to be productive with it?

Good resources you’re pulling from?
Any tips to make it use less tokens?
Skills marketplaces?

Topic 5 - What have been some of the biggest barriers to successful adoption, or just areas where you’re still struggling to get it to do the things you want? Or are you still in the learning curve stage and things just keep growing on one another?

Topic 6 - If you took the knowledge and skills you have now in Claude-life into your day-job, how do you see yourself working, as well as working with the rest of your team/teams? Would it bother you if you didn’t think they were using AI tools as much?
