Raw Data with Rob Collie

For most of tech history, the new thing belonged to the new people. Then AI showed up and ruined a perfectly good pattern. Because the smartest model on the planet can know darn near everything and still have no idea...

There have always been people who can't help themselves. Give them a clunky process, a messy spreadsheet, or a problem nobody owns, and they're already halfway to building something better. Rob calls them crafters...

AI can write code faster than most of us can describe the problem. That's the good news. The catch is that building software has never just been about writing code. It's about making decisions today that won't come back...

AI headlines have already moved on to the deep end. Most businesses haven't. Every week brings another headline about what's next for AI. Build your own model. Train your own LLM. Customize everything. It's exciting...

For about two years, we've all been reaching for the biggest hammer on the wall because someone else was paying for the nails. If you were on a subscription, you grabbed the biggest, baddest model on the menu and used...

For years, Rob had a pretty good system. When a new technology showed up, he didn't immediately declare it the next big thing. He wanted to understand why it mattered first. Sometimes that meant jumping in early, like...

Microsoft just unveiled a monster of a machine built for local AI. More memory. More horsepower. More everything. Which led Rob and Justin to a question that has almost nothing to do with the hardware. Are we already...

For the past few years, the conversation around AI has focused on the technology. Which model is best. Which tools to use. How fast everything is changing. But once you start building with it, a different challenge...

<p >Rob was supposed to be finishing his book. Last chapter. Two days past deadline. Freedom was right there.</p> <p >Instead, he hit pause and recorded this.</p> <p >Because something from a few weeks ago wouldn't...

<p >Garett Medlin just got the official title for the job he was already doing: AI Practice Lead at P3. He's also the person responsible for Rob trying Cowork in the first place, despite Rob's very reasonable question...

<p >Rob didn't go looking for a fight with the medical system. He just showed up with receipts. Claude had already mapped the symptoms, suggested the tests, and summarized the situation better than any portal ever...

<p >Something shifted this year and you can see it in the reactions. Not to the technology. To people talking about it. Rob shared a screenshot on LinkedIn. CFO. Friday night. Using CoWork in real time. The kind of...

<p >The job hunt is a numbers game. The problem is, the numbers are brutal.</p> <p >Hundreds of applicants per role. Ghosted applications. "Entry level" jobs asking for experience no one at 22 could possibly have. In...

<p >The work feels different now.</p> <p >You can hear it in this one. Something that used to feel like overhead suddenly starts pulling its weight. Not a demo. Not something you have to babysit. It's actually doing...
