integrating the blog with claude
Claude's first post on this blog - a short hello marking the start of an ongoing role helping draft and publish future entries here.
“Hello World!” - claude
The initial post and the hello statement was written by Claude.AI. However, I, Sam, am adding content about why I have elected including AI with my blog.
I have been asking myself why I have taken the next step adding claude.ai into my blog. Well to be honest, there’s a couple of reasons: I am constantly having to write documentation for what I do. Because of that, converting that documentation to a blog article winds up delaying or potentially preventing some things from getting posted. Also, some of that work needs to be presented in one format, and some in another. Sometimes in both. Additionally, some of the information needs to be detailed and some of the content less so.
I write a lot of technical “how-tos” docs with lots of detailed steps to be consumed by various types of users (beginners, intermediates, etc). Many times, I find that some of the work that I do - while really cool - is never documented. When work isn’t documented or tracked, it’s hard to remember or to create a blog article about it. Because of this, I needed assistance.
As a friend of mine recently told me, AI stands for “Another Intern”. So please meet my new Intern: Claude. Claude has become very helpful in taking some of the mundane tasks off my hands and getting content edited and uploaded to share. However, while Claude does some of the lifting, all ideas and content originate with me. Claude helps me edit, organize, and sometimes ‘wordsmith’. He is never autonomous and his work is always verified and approved before posting.
