    Ending Chapters

    Benedicte ends two big chapters. Benedikt shares how they did in Q1. Benedicte’s mother passed away after a decade-long battle with early onset Alzheimer’s. She looked back at some of the fun memories they had and shared that she’s planning a celebration of life gathering at a bar where her mom used to frequent. Benedicte also marked her last day Outseta, realizing that she won’t have enough brain space for two roles when things start ramping up at Whee. She looks forward to giving herself a slow April. Benedikt and the Userlist team reviewed their Q1 and while they got a lot done, they got a bit derailed from their original plans. He also took a week off from work but a database issue made it challenging to settle into vacation mode.

Even when life hasn’t been cooperating lately, Benedicte realized that she’s still grateful for a lot of things.

Benedikt spent a good chunk of the week deep in a new serializer implementation for Userlist. The full test suite was green for a while but it broke again in an effort to improve things overall.

    Let’s Check Back in 6 Months

    Benedicte gives an energizing talk at the Oslo Claude Code Meetup. Benedikt uses AI to optimize their website. Despite getting a bit chaotic, Benedicte gave an energizing talk about Jean-Claw at the recent Oslo Claude Code Meetup last week. At Outseta, the team decided to lean into enabling AI operations. Benedikt optimized their website with the help of AI: adding more structured data, creating dedicated author pages, adding an “updated” date field, and more. And while he’s certain that a perfect Ahrefs health score is just a vanity metric, he’s taking that small win. Benedicte and Benedikt also talk about how AI speeds up experimentation, why they think good taste and experience matters these days, and more. Mentioned on the show: Is it Queen or AI?More and more social posts are drafted while interacting with AI agents
