Pragmatic AI with Matt Stauffer

Pragmatic AI is a podcast about practical AI for business leaders, developers, and thinkers—the stuff that actually works, not the hate or the hype. We cover using AI tools day-to-day across the spect...

Y'all I've been working on this year's Tighten Laracon Puzzle for actual months at this point We have backrooms We have an escape room There's a freaking labyrinth, there's parkour We got DIY puzzle making This thing is nuts. I definitely have gone overboard.

I think a good test is the ability to explain something simply if someone says (after you finish speaking) "how intelligent you are!" - you're not a good communicator and you might not even understand it you want people to say "how simple that is! what's the big deal? even I can understand it."

I'm amazed at how far I am into writing this Laracon US talk and I haven't *once* run into that moment of "THIS IS STUPID I AM STUPID EVERYONE WILL BE SO BORED" Hopefully that means it's EVEN BETTER than all my other talks, and not just that I'm maturing or whatever

Just recorded the first episode of The Laravel Podcast in months! And this time.. I have a plan to make it more consistent, with less breaks between chunks of each season. Coming out next Tuesday!

We talk about "AI" casually, assuming it means the same thing to everyone. But it doesn't. Did you know "Artificial Intelligence" was originally just a marketing term? In the second post in our AI series, we talk about definition of common AI terms. tighten.com/insights/pra...

What Even Is “AI”? Defining Key Terms in Plain Language

You might be wondering, “How are we three years into the hype and still asking something as basic as ‘What even is AI?’” Well, as we established in the...

Most content about AI is either practical (how to use it) or hypothetical (AGI TOMORROW). We tried to write something that would be *informational*. What even is AI? Why should and shouldn't we use it? Broad strokes how to use it in dev? And what's its future? Take a look.

Have you ever stopped to think what we mean when we say "AI", how to use it *well* in development workflows, or what motivates us to use them or not use them? We paused for a moment, stepped back, examined, and wrote up some thoughts you might enjoy. tighten.com/insights/pra...
