Here is a quick rundown with specifics from my AIUX talk on August 19th, 2025. Hope it helps!

TL;DR

• Traps: capture → store.
• Sensemaking (AI): ChatGPT = pattern matching + critique + framing.
• Execution (Code): Replit / Lovable / Vercel for quick, cheap prototypes.
• Mirrors: AI reflection + Human clarity.
• Decide: ship / shelve / schedule.

0) Dan’s flow at a glance

1. I believe X / I notice Y → write the claim.
2. Why do I believe this? → cite sources, prior examples, and lived experiences.
3. Can I express it simply? → one-sentence claim + 3 bullets.
4. If no: do quick research; find contradictions / unknowns; return.
5. If yes: choose audience: trusted people vs broad share; produce a short POV + refs.
6. Old vs new ideas? → if new, save to Notion; if old, retrieve; if missing, search.
7. Prototype path (if concept is buildable): scaffold in Replit / Lovable / Vercel for local preview.
8. Mirrors: AI summary / critique → Human review for clarity & honesty.
9. Decision: keep / kill / park; set next experiment.
