A personal post… I’m now writing a faith-based newsletter on Substack called Fractal Faith.
It’s about my journey from atheist to Christian, and how that’s changed the way I see everything.
If you're curious, the first two articles are live. Link in the comments.

@dansemperepico I only use Claude CoWork for the plugins. I imagine I can use them with Claude Code, too. But they're easier to find with CoWork.
Oh, and I also like CoWork for scheduled tasks.
English
I don’t understand why Claude Cowork exists other than as a marketing wrapper to get non-technical people using agentic AI that we’re scared of trying Claude Code because they thought you have to be technical.
There’s nothing I can think of that Cowork can do that Claude Code can’t and I’ve had at least one experience where Cowork failed to do a non-coding task that Claude Code could do

Claude also relates the concepts in the book back to other authors and my own IP. It can do this because Claude has access to my Obsidian vaults, which is my second brain (thanks @fortelabs ).
For example... "Claude, read this line from Orthodoxy. Have I written about this?"
"Yes, this is similar to a point you made in your manifesto... "
Loving this way of reading.
English
I'm reading Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton as book #2 in "The Year of Chesterton."
Huge plus: It's public domain, so I got a txt file of the entire book to accompany the paperback.
Using the txt file with Claude helps me understand the book (Chesteron is difficult).

I'm reading only one author in 2026: G.K. Chesterton. He’s shaped many thinkers I admire, so I’m going straight to the source. Slow start so far... I’ve read Dale Ahlquist’s The Apostle of Common Sense twice as a primer. Next up: Orthodoxy or The Everlasting Man?
English
@MattKaramazov The Man Who Was Thursday sounds like a wild ride, Matt. Thanks for the tip. Chesterton's writing breadth is incredible.
English
@BillyBroas The Man Who Was Thursday is one of my ALL TIME favorite books. Some people don’t like it, and hearing that shatters me every time…

@squadette Love that one. He's the most quotable person who ever lived.

@BillyBroas A man must be orthodox upon most things, or he will never even have time to preach his own heresy!

My workday has completely transformed over the past few months. I now speak through most of my day, rather than type.
Thank you to Naveen and the team at Monologue, and congrats on this app launch.
The voice revolution is here.
Monologue@usemonologue
Monologue for iOS is here. You talk 3x faster than you type. Prompts to Claude. Brain dumps to Notion. Grocery lists. Midnight epiphanies. First drafts that sound like you. Now in your pocket. Follow, like, RT—50 annual subscriptions are up for grabs.

@fortelabs Number four for me. Most distinct and also looks like chapters in a book or scenes in a movie (of my life).
English
I'd really appreciate your feedback on the new round of cover designs for my next book 🙏
Which one do you like the most? Dislike the most? And most importantly, why?
English
Perfect example...
Right now, I am frustrated because I need to organize my Google Drive (it's gotten a little out of hand...), and if I were reorganizing these files on my local machine, I'd instruct Claude Code.
"Claude, organize my files."
With GDrive, it's all on me. 😢
English
After months with Claude Code, my file habits have flipped.
I barely use Google Drive anymore.
I work mostly in local markdown files now, because the AI can actually work with them.
Google Docs suddenly feels cumbersome.
What does this imply about the future of how we work with files?

@BrentBeshore Found this via @david_perell. Beautiful read, Brent. Thank you. (From a fellow former atheist)
English
I published a manifesto called "Marketing Is an Argument."
It’s about why modern marketing feels off—and what to do instead.
No tactics. No hacks.
Just treating people like thinkers and appealing to their better nature.
English
I want to start a community dedicated to Claude Code.
It’s become the gateway drug to coding and experiencing the power of AI for tons of people.
This will be a space for people to share killer use cases, agentic workflows, proven prompts, and connect with other CC obsessives.
Comment “Claude” if you want to join.
English
You got it.
Although the examples you provided are both writing, and that's only a small percentage of what I use it for, and the last thing I'm handing off to dictation. That said, I've been impressed by how well it's gone dictating line by line exactly how I want a writing piece to look. I'll be doing more of this, for sure.
But the bulk of the word count in that screenshot is from talking to Claude Code, having it put its crew to work ;-) 👨🔧
English
@BillyBroas So you just use this talking out all your emails, writing, etc?
And it works within the “text” area of whatever tool youre using?
(Is that the essence of it I mean?)
English
My previous excitement about Monologue could have been due to the honeymoon phase.
You subscribe to new software, use it, drop it.
But nope.
Here I am, two months later, doing even more dictation than before.
My workday is now mostly speaking, and I love it.
Billy Broas@BillyBroas
I didn't know if I'd use Monologue. 30 days later, I've spoken 45k words through it and am in the top 2%. Most of my work day is now spent speaking, not typing, and I'm far happier for it. Thanks to @danshipper and the @every team for this incredible product.
English
Dictating feels like a bottleneck has been cleared. My mind moves far faster than my fingers (typing).
