Coffe and Claude

I get my morning espresso at a 107 year old coffee shop. Why would I care to share this?  

Because they’ve learned to combine timeless virtues with modern technology.  

They use FEMA E71 and from the outside barista steps look simple - put some coffee, press the button and coffee comes out. Except it takes manual steps to get it just right - put the right dose into the portafilter, press it to make a good puck and lock the piece it into the group head.  

I guess my appreciation for the art of adding a human touch to a machine generated product has gone up to a whole new level after getting eye ball deep into Claude and Perplexity for our development and integration projects. One can just give AI a task and the outcome will do the job, except it takes a lot of fine tuning and understanding of all the moving pieces to get a quality piece of software, however small it might look.

And yes Claude fatigue is real - it takes Café Landwer to help mitigate it during the adaption process. At some point I had to get caffeine adapted too;)
