This week’s act of evolution is the final notion I wanted to highlight from the conversation between Joey Badass and 19Keys. Towards the end of the discussion, 19Keys describes life as a “series of compound interest”. Every decision, or action taken can influence the subsequent outcome in your life.

This notion resonates with me as one of the earliest posts I made was on “Atomic Habits”. The compounding interest of habit, good or bad, influences where your life takes you. It is also one of the reasons why I started this blog. It has put my mind in a position to explore new things in tech and creativity on a weekly basis. If it wasn’t for this, my time spent would have gone to something else. Regardless of whether it being good or bad, the progress here would not have been made.

This week, we started working on one of our future ideas for the brand, a Web 3 app and I want to share our process of leveraging ChatGPT to brainstorm and create the MVP features with sample code to get started. Below is the step-by-step process for what I did and you can try it too if you have an idea of your own.

• Prompt: “Let’s build an app”

• ChatGPT Response:

  • Sure, I'd be happy to help you build a web app! Before we get started, there are a few things we should consider.

    1. What is the purpose of the web app? What problem does it solve or what need does it fulfill?

    2. Who is the target audience for the web app?

    3. What features and functionalities should the web app have?

    4. What programming languages and frameworks will we use to build the web app?

    5. What platform will the web app be hosted on?

• Answer these questions as specifically as possible

• Depending on your answer, ChatGPT may respond with something similar to this:

  • To build this web app, we will need to consider the following steps:

    1. Design the user interface and user experience of the web app. This includes creating wireframes and mockups of the app's pages and features.

    2. Choose a tech stack to build the app. Based on your response, we will use React to build the front end of the web app. React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

    3. Choose a backend technology to support the web app. We will use a serverless architecture with AWS Lambda and API Gateway to handle backend functionality. This will allow for easy scaling and low operational costs.

    4. Integrate Web 3 features, such as blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized storage, to allow for secure and transparent transactions.

This is great because now you have established the implementation process. Moving on, you can hone in on the features and sample code.

• Prompt: Let’s start with the following features: <list features here>

• ChatGPT response: Depending on the features, it will break down the process and potential tools, functions, and integrations you may need. For example:

  • Login: We can implement user authentication using a third-party authentication provider like Auth0. This will allow users to securely login to the web app using their existing social media or email account

• Then you can ask it to provide a sample code around these features and its responses. Ex. Let’s write the code for the content creation feature

• ChatGPT will then respond with a code snippet and blurb describing how to leverage this code and what it does.

Continue this process for all your modules and voila, you now have a great foundation to work from. This experience is game-changing but can only be accomplished by learning how to communicate with ChatGPT. Learning to provide details will allow for a stronger output and tell it what you are expecting. For example, knowing you want to Web 3 technologies allows ChatGPT to make appropriate suggestions. Ideation sessions like this used to take planning sessions with 5-10 individuals. Now you can have this conversation with ChatGPT and expedite the process. The power is remembering to treat ChatGPT like you would treat an employee and be descriptive and task-based as possible.

As we continue using this, we’ll keep you posted but this is definitely going to change how apps are built going forward.

This week's aesthetic is a photo I came across of Russell Westbrook.

This is a perfectly captured shot of the energy Russ brings to the court every day. I love the contrast of the color as well.

At this point, we might as well create another section for A.I.-specific explorations. This week, we have another A.I. app, Replit.

• Replit is github-esque site where coders can fork others’ code bases and build on top. They also component libraries make it easy to leverage packaged libraries or functions into your code automatically. With the addition of their new A.I., coders can have an assistant code along with them suggesting components and such to add as it learns what type of app you are trying to make. I haven’t done a deep dive yet but I’ve found some tutorials of folks using this in conjunction with ChatGPT to build apps with more ease. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Welcome back Mouse! We have been able to catch up in a while but he has been making waves and remaining disruptive as usual in the world of podcasting. This week he was named the #1 in Hip Hop Media and joins us to share his daily process.

Day in the Life of Mouse

“My daily process for getting ready for episodes is a well-planned routine that helps me produce high-quality content for my listeners. Here's what a typical day looks like:

1. Research and planning: I begin my day by researching the topic for the day's episode. I gather information from a variety of sources, including online research, books, news articles, and interviews with experts. This helps me to create an outline for the episode and plan the key points I want to cover.

2. Scriptwriting: Once I have a clear outline, I begin writing the script for the episode. I aim to create a compelling narrative that engages my listeners and provides them with valuable insights on the topic. I pay close attention to the language I use, ensuring it is clear, concise, and easy to understand.

3. Recording: After finalizing the script, I move on to recording the episode. I use high-quality equipment to ensure the audio is crystal clear. During the recording process, I try to maintain a conversational tone, so my listeners feel like they're part of the conversation.

4. Editing: Once the recording is complete, I move on to editing the episode. This involves removing any mistakes, trimming unnecessary sections, and adding any sound effects or music to enhance the listening experience.

5. Publishing: With the episode now edited and ready to go, I publish it to my podcast hosting platform. I also create show notes and write descriptions for each episode, making it easy for listeners to find and understand what the episode is all about.

6. Promotion: Finally, I promote the new episode across my social media channels and email list, letting my followers know that a new episode is available. This helps to build anticipation and ensures that my podcast reaches as many people as possible.

Overall, my daily process for getting ready for episodes involves careful planning, writing, recording, editing, and promotion. By following this routine, I am able to consistently produce high-quality content that keeps my listeners engaged and coming back for more..”

Out of nowhere this week, we have a surprise track out of our norm. It’s been a while since I stumbled upon a Korean song that I enjoy but this one hit out of left field. I was at a Japanese BBQ spot nearby my place and overheard this song playing. Upon “shazaming” the song, I was able to get the name and hear the whole thing for myself. Check it out for yourself as well and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Until next time, keep on seeking balance!
