why live?This is live — for a reason. Everyone here hears
the same song at the same moment. No pause, no seek.
Shared attention syncs brains;
a shared beat syncs rhythm. That's the raw material of group flow
— a team moving as one thing. One pulse under the work.
for ABC folks: getting started with AI
A few practical notes for anyone at ABC, developer or not, looking
to use AI in their work:
Start with repetitive tasks. Reports written
on a schedule, routine emails, first drafts of specs. These are
low-risk and where AI saves the most time up front.
Use it as a thinking partner. It is often
more useful for working through a hard problem than for tasks you
already know how to do. Describe the problem and reason through it
together.
Work in small steps. Make a change, check the
result, adjust. Short iterations work better than trying to get
everything right in one pass.
Experiment at home. Coding agents like
Claude
Code and OpenCode
run on a personal machine. Building a small side project is a
low-pressure way to learn how AI development works.
Keep PII out of external tools. Personally
identifiable information stays inside approved systems. There is
still a lot of value to be had from everything that is not
sensitive.
