  • Make it easy to use AI with your apps to retain customers

    Adobe hasn’t done well in the “AI era.” Perhaps the answer is this: people are happy to use Adobe, and if let them use it through AI too, they’ll keep using AI. In my experience, once you integrate with AI tools (through skills, MCP servers, or just having an API that agents can use), those…

  • Relative to your interests on Thursday

    Your aging brain stops being a people-please. But: “The same directness that would be called ‘no-nonsense’ in a man gets called ‘abrasive’ in a woman over 40.” “I had to teach a lesson on asparagus, an ingredient I couldn’t care less about but apparently was good for SEO.” Forrester’s highlights from re:Invent, including things that…

    Coté’s Commonplace Book #43

    There’s an insane block of travel coming up for me in October, and then Asia in November. Figuring out a “road warrior” job is difficult, and I’m constantly asking if that’s the life I want, away from family a lot.
