Hi Reader,
Have you been using AI tools (like ChatGPT) to streamline your education or work? If so, hit reply and tell me about your experience! I haven’t used them much, so I’d love to hear from others.
Speaking of AI tools, check out this thought-provoking 6-minute video, in which my friend Ken Jee explains why he’s ALL IN on AI tools.

Once you’re done, share a link to your pull request so that we can celebrate together! 🎉
Good luck!
If you enjoyed this week’s tip, please forward it to a friend! Takes only a few seconds, and it really helps me out! 🙌
See you next Tuesday!
