Much research links learning to storytelling, but that’s never been the model that works for me. I’m prone to abstraction. When it comes to learning, I find it easier to relate to knowledge through concepts rather than narratives. There’s something remarkable about capturing knowledge, processes, or behaviors in the form of a flowchart. Modeling information…
I recently read a paper from Microsoft Research called Working with AI. It analyzed 200,000 conversations with Bing Copilot and introduced a new metric: the AI Applicability Score. The authors frame this score as a way of measuring how AI can augment jobs—not automate them away. Two things stood out to me. First, the data. The study used Bing…
I’ve been diving deeper into prompt engineering (or prompt design) lately. Like most things on the internet, there’s no shortage of resources—free courses, general tips, videos, and more. The early focus on simply crafting prompts makes sense, but over time, the real value will shift toward specificity and personalization of responses driven by user feedback.…
For my latest AI experiment, I’m using Figma Make to build a web analytics product. Right now, Figma Make doesn’t let users download source code, which effectively locks you into the Figma ecosystem. Of course, in the age of AI, nothing is truly locked. I found a simple workaround: I can take a screenshot of the generated interfaces and…
Figma Make “is an AI-driven, prompt-to-app tool that lets you bring ideas and existing Figma designs to life as functional prototypes”. My goal was to use Figma Make to create a web analytics product (aka Amhalytics) to see how quick and easy it is to brings designs to life. Pros Cons Take a look at…
I considered Street lamp design during a a trip to the Queens Night Market today. Around 20 to 30 small merchants sell street food from tents, creating a hectic scene full of photo opportunities. For some reason, I looked up and noticed the street lamps. These New York street lamps are everywhere and usually go…
I’ve been experimenting with a lot of AI tools lately. Many of those experiments will never see the light of day, but the Model Context Protocol (MCP) feels like a tool that could redefine agent-to-agent and AI-to-data use cases. MCP is a protocol that enables AI to interact with data at scale, reducing the need for custom…
I recently explored the charming village of Bamford in the Peak District. With its rolling hills and peaceful atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to unwind. I enjoyed a delicious meal at Anger’s Rest, a local community café, and took some lovely hikes through the surrounding countryside. Things to do
