Lenny Rachitsky: belief

Transcript context

…I think maybe I'll reemphasize something I said earlier around just that experimentation is not an individual sport. Some of the moments where I think I've touched practically every version of research models across 20-plus versions of Production Cloud at this point. And I think part of the joy comes from seeing other people discover use cases too. And so maybe one idea here would be pairing with somebody who is excited and seeing what on a use case that you care about and working together versus identifying or trying to figure out the perfect use case yourself because that might feel like work. Working with others feels like joy a lot of the time, and is there more that we could do to bring other people along? That's something a lot of times internally we have somebody who is very curious, and them sharing an idea of a new prototype actually brings a ton more people who are like, oh, I didn't know this could work now with Claude. And so there's just some virtuous cycles here and ways of continuing to have joy with this technology. That's such a good point. I think that's also why Twitter is so useful for a lot of this is you see other people sharing what they've done, and it inspires you to come up with your own little ideas. And also it's just fun to share your own thing that you've done. So that's a really good point. Just find other people to play around with and look for use cases. The thing I've also heard a lot is just find a problem you want to solve in your life or work and just open up Claude, Claude Code, tell it, here's what I want to do. And it's incredible how far you can get just with a vague idea of a problem you want to solve. Yeah. I think it gets hard in that there's so many different things that you could try. And so you just narrowing in on either pairing with someone, working with somebody who have a lot of joy about this technology, or figuring out something that you could immediately find value. Either of those things allow you to go deeper rather than more high-level about too many things. I find it hard to keep pace with the number of prototypes or products that are out there. And so my lens has been: how do I go deep in one to two of them myself?…
