Run.](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/mock-skeptical-run/): Electricity made tractors available in masses. But tractor didn't replace farmers in the first discovery, it took iteration. The first tractor was powered by steam. It was delicate and expensive and required trained operators. This was a prototype. Prototype isn't built for volume. So it didn't look like a threat. The sight of mid field - [Catalog spec table aggregator](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/catalog-spec-table-aggregator/): ISC West is a month away. Which reminds me one of the most painful assets to make: catalogs. More specifically, the spec table. Somehow typos are endless. This is my 2026 prompt to aggregate all specs and find discrepancies. It's an extension of the datasheet rebrand project. **Product Specification Aggregator Prompt** ``` You are a - [Pattern learning and steal like an artist](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/pattern-learning-and-steal-like-an-artist/): This is a technique I frequently use to iterate faster to pattern learning: steal. Take a look at these two examples. Pattern recognition The first image is from a 2023 ASUS product announcement, I screenshot and kept it in the swipe file. Months later, it became a source to mimic in a product launch. Pattern - [Secondhand iPhone](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/secondhand-iphone/): Measure value by result, not money invested. Buying a new iPhone feels amazing. This thing will make my life better in multiple ways, I better match the color with a nice case. Don't forget screen protector, I don't want to dent the screen. There's also that dust plug for the charger cutout. BTW, holiday is - [Claude Chrome: risk of waiting](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/claude-chrome-risk-of-waiting/): Claude Chrome automates webpage navigation, but also has a longer wait time than regular chat. Scenario 1: open product datasheet and website CMS side by side, ask Claude Chrome to fill in the product specs. Wait.

It is easy - [CEOs use AI to create products](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/ceos-use-ai-to-create-products/): I recently stumbled across this, and this. Mr.Dang made a family tree software for Vietnamese. Mr.Sting made a social platform for cats. Family tree and cats are unlikely their domain. Business is. They saw problems worth solving and used AI to build and ship. Imagination determines the scale of impact, not the tool. We had - [Call it exaggeration, call it creativity](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/call-it-exaggeration-call-it-creativity/): I started with ChatGPT, but I switched for precise control and less exaggeration. In most of my work,precision is quality. Until I tried to add a lens glare to this upscaled image. ChatGPT nailed it in one prompt. If I think exaggeration as a bug, I disapprove and avoid the tool. Position it as creativity, - [AI Anxious](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/ai-anxious/): I'm only on LinkedIn. One platform. And I'm already anxious. Every scroll brings a new technique, a new model, a new thing I haven't tried yet. The feeling isn't excitement. But here's what I keep coming back to: the anxiety is pointing at the wrong thing. The question isn't what's new. It's what does it - [Less is more](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/less-is-more/): We can delete context. And it's a good thing. We were feeding formats, insights, regulations, guidelines, rules — all into markdowns for deliverables. Assumption: more context, better output. It didn't work. Failed for 4 times. Many of us take what AI gives us for granted. Or we don't drill deep enough to the absolute-must context. - [Good prompt vs. good context](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/good-prompt-vs-good-context/): Some people prompt in Mandarin. Some in English. Standardizing the skill or language of prompting across a team takes time. It's inefficient. So we standardized the context instead. Our PMM team built context as Markdown files — sales deck outlines, value proposition frameworks, positioning methodologies. Paired with product specs and briefing materials for multi-step output. - [Learn to iterate. Not to learn.](https://kellyat32.com/2026/03/learn-to-iterate-not-to-learn/): YouTube, LinkedIn — feed is full of techniques. Short videos. Popular keywords. New tools.

That's how late I am to the action button. Small trick that I did: create a task by voice. I use TickTick with its built-in voice-to-text.

Quality doesn't matter - [Benefit of saving allowance as an adult](https://kellyat32.com/2023/01/benefit-of-saving-allowance-as-an-adult/): Over the past 2 years, it's becoming a family habit to use these old red envelopes to save up money for things we're indecisive.

At 30, I start to see people save up 20% for their home down payment. Once we start to make a paycheck or receive our credit card, that stopped. Everything seemed so easy now. The wait is gone. So was happiness. It - [Think at 100x scale](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/think-at-100x-scale/): The more I talk with AI, the more it felt human. Except it isn't. I'm limiting artificial intelligence with human intelligence. I can 2x the slide output, 5x if I worked hard, and 10x if I streamlined the workflow. But 100x is not reasonable. This isn't true for AI. Next time prompting, try to add - [Screen time passcode I don't know](https://kellyat32.com/2026/01/the-screen-time-password-i-dont-know/): When it comes to limiting my phone use, I tried them all. Turn screen into greyscale to reduce stimulation. Shuffling app folder to break the swipe habit. Block URL. Setup a screen time passcode to remind myself. But I always find ways to revoke it.

Importance of emergency fund is unreliable until tuition bill came. Product launch process is unreliable until sequential production delays. Ship it. Ship it to intentionally create stress. Then iterate to remove one stress at a time. - [Motion drives emotion](https://kellyat32.com/2025/11/motion-drives-emotion/): The word 'emotion' includes the word 'motion', it's 6 out of the 7 characters.

And nervous, angry, defensive, - [Writing in a to-do app](https://kellyat32.com/2025/11/writing-in-a-to-do-app/): I'm a great procrastinator. I paid for Bluehost, I switched to Hostinger.

Apple Photo Clean up. Gemini image with watermark. Three tools I often use - separately, on parallel. The combination is so simple, so obvious, but easily neglected.

We add brute force to - [Start with I don't know](https://kellyat32.com/2026/02/start-with-i-dont-know/): Empty prompt space is resistance. It is unknown. It is potential mistake. It is over thinking. It is doubt. Resistance defogs with our momentum. When I wrote one sentence. When I act for 2 minutes. One tactic is to admit the don't know.

It is also time consuming. And either designers are occupied or not every slide requires designer to step in. First, the result. The problems: Gradient colors, saturation, gradient direction, etc. Block size, uniform edge curve, space between blocks, etc. Here's how. Step 1> Strip off the elements - [How I Created 20 Pages of PowerPoint Notes in Under 60 Minutes](https://kellyat32.com/2026/01/how-i-created-20-pages-of-powerpoint-notes-in-under-60-minutes/): In conclusion: Create an empty online meeting.

There's no way - [Software and hardware companies](https://kellyat32.com/2025/12/software-and-hardware-companies/): This is a biased point of view. It is biased because most of the companies I worked for are hardware oriented or started with hardware. They are also large corporations. An observation that I derived with a friend was it's more likely for software company to succeed in hardware versus hardware company in software. Great - [Two folder layering of SharePoint document sets](https://kellyat32.com/2025/12/two-folder-layering-of-sharepoint-document-sets/): SharePoint document set has a limitation: two document sets can't layer naturally and metadata is encouraged.

Phase 1. - [My cookie jar](https://kellyat32.com/2025/11/my-cookie-jar/): I have forgotten where I got this idea. But decade before I read about David Goggins cookie jar method, I have been collecting feedbacks. They live in the Accomplishments and Insults folder. Feel defeated?
