Paul Baron — Writing

A long weekend hack with Claude Code to scratch a decade-old itch and answer one question: where in Paris can we drink coffee in the sun right now?

I built a small app to prompt hourly movement breaks at my desk.

Why I built my own fitness dashboard, made it public, and what it says about data ownership.

Three AI leaders who spent time in Japan came back thinking differently about building technology.

AI chat tools like Claude and ChatGPT drop you into long threads with zero context.

Watch the recording of the first What is Vibe Coding session with Jose Rosa on LinkedIn Live — a hands-on intro to building apps with AI tools like Lovable.

Multi-agent AI is transforming engineering, but consumers still face a blank chat box.

I've had a lot of fun building apps with Lovable in 2025 — from full-fledged products to simple tools.

Most longevity protocols have a longevity problem: an over-optimized check-up, but little-to-no guidance for the 360 days after.

A tiny web app that pings you each hour for a 5-minute movement break with 100+ simple exercises — happening simultaneously around the world.

An AI agent built into Flexbase that tracks your favorite pro athletes' results daily and pings you with updates — powered by PPLX API with validation and fact-checking.

Vibe-coding rule: kill bloat, be ruthless with the overeager AI copilot, and ship the smallest change that solves the bug.

From a simple athlete profile page for my son to a full web platform — built with Lovable, and one of the most exciting experiences of my career.

I vibe-coded a daily gratitude micro-journaling app with Lovable's AI — without writing a single line of code.

I found proof in my archives that I invented Facebook 4 years before Mark.

How ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode UI — a painting-like animated dot — shapes not only how we use AI but how we embrace it.

Exploring the benefits of AI-powered collaborative platforms where teams work alongside an AI as a standalone colleague.

Imagine a label that reveals how content was created: AI-generated, human-created, or somewhere in between.

The evolution of AI interfaces from chat boxes to interactive visual tools may remind us of the shift from CLI to GUI almost 40 years ago.

In the future, AI will need to strike a balance — knowing when to offer help and when to step back and let users take control.

No list of emails, no inbox, no spam.

I wish we could skip the 'AI agent curation' and 'search engines for AI agents' stages, and go back to the simplicity of just asking.

Leading high-impact initiatives at HelloBetter while planning a family move from Berlin to Geneva.

We talked with Julie Jargon at The Wall Street Journal about our work supporting dads with Dadditude.

A conversation about parenting philosophy and running Dadditude for Tiang Lim Foo's Dads In Tech newsletter.

One year in, 16,000 followers and nearly as many downloads — we're just about ready to launch our Dadditude app V1.

151 ratings (4.8⭐️ avg.) and 22 kind reviews in the app stores — great motivation as we prepare to launch V1.

Two months after launch, our Community Tips section keeps growing.

After 3 years at Snips and post-acquisition at Sonos, my time is up.

From co-founder to employee, from expert to n00b — what a ride learning about neural networks and private-by-design voice recognition.

A good running app can coach you to a marathon finish line.

My 5 year old boy loves playing and learning on my iPad.
