Fullständig transkription av Should I Burn It All Down? [Friday Wrap-Up]

point is that apple's broadcasts always look great, 67 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:37,900 and it's cool to see 68 00:04:38,410 --> 00:04:43,240 them shoot live events on their pro phones. 69 00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:47,300 They don't just tell you it's good enough to film TV in movies. 70 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:51,210 It actually is good enough to film TV in movies, and so they prove that by 71 00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:52,480 shooting not just like 72 00:04:52,530 --> 00:04:52,930 a, 73 00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:56,080 a pre-recorded thing 74 00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:57,220 that, 75 00:04:57,270 --> 00:05:00,080 they can fix in the edit, right? I think 76 00:05:00,130 --> 00:05:00,770 this is, 77 00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:04,750 this is an important, like this is a weird flex. Not even a weird flex, it's just 78 00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:10,390 a flex for them. They're shooting live events on their iPhone 18 pro that anybody 79 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:12,520 can buy, and a bunch of people did buy 80 00:05:12,703 --> 00:05:17,773 So it's cool to see them putting their money where their mouth is 81 00:05:17,823 --> 00:05:24,640 moving on to something fun. Italian music, specifically this Italian music playlist 82 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,150 I have, I rediscovered this playlist earlier this week. It's largely music from Italian 83 00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:36,160 artists are in the Italian language, and I am revamping it because it's pretty thin 84 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,170 right now and it's several years old. It's in Apple Music and I am linking to the 85 00:05:41,170 --> 00:05:43,690 Apple Music playlist so you can at least see what songs are on it. 86 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:45,380 I made this, 87 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:49,710 when I was trying to learn Italian, I was doing Duolingo, which I now feel is not 88 00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:52,080 a very good method of learning languages. 89 00:05:52,130 --> 00:05:52,780 but 90 00:05:52,830 --> 00:05:58,130 I also wanted to kind of immerse myself in this and, and listen to some Italian language 91 00:05:58,130 --> 00:05:59,000 music. So, 92 00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:00,955 I, I, I made it when I was trying to learn Italian 93 00:06:01,005 --> 00:06:03,365 something I pick up every couple of years and, 94 00:06:03,415 --> 00:06:04,455 to be honest with you, 95 00:06:04,505 --> 00:06:08,215 probably going to be time to try that again soon. 96 00:06:08,265 --> 00:06:14,525 Okay, now let's move on to something to help you with your systems. I made a stream 97 00:06:14,525 --> 00:06:15,845 deck plugin this week 98 00:06:15,895 --> 00:06:21,435 called Q for Apple Music, QCUE, not q, the letter q. 99 00:06:22,065 --> 00:06:23,765 it was brought to my attention, 100 00:06:23,815 --> 00:06:29,385 on one of my YouTube videos that the Apple Music Stream deck plugin I use that was 101 00:06:29,385 --> 00:06:33,645 made by El Gado is no longer available. And that's a huge bummer 102 00:06:33,695 --> 00:06:39,535 'cause it's one of my favorites. It's such a crucial plugin for me. I much prefer 103 00:06:39,625 --> 00:06:44,695 having dedicated buttons on my stream deck for Apple Music 104 00:06:44,745 --> 00:06:46,115 as opposed to 105 00:06:46,165 --> 00:06:50,835 just using the keyboard media keys, which other apps can hijack, right? There's like 106 00:06:50,835 --> 00:06:55,935 nothing worse than like music is playing and you opened up YouTube, but you forgot 107 00:06:55,935 --> 00:07:00,105 about it, and then you push the, the pause button and instead of the music stopping, 108 00:07:00,255 --> 00:07:05,145 the music is still playing and that YouTube video is playing. So I like having the 109 00:07:05,145 --> 00:07:06,855 dedicated buttons and 110 00:07:07,395 --> 00:07:13,185 because this plugin is no longer a avail, it's just like completely, it was wiped 111 00:07:13,185 --> 00:07:14,175 off the face of the earth, 112 00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:17,155 El Gado as far as I can tell, quietly removed it. 113 00:07:17,205 --> 00:07:19,895 so I decided just in case 114 00:07:20,435 --> 00:07:23,255 it stopped working somewhere down the line, 115 00:07:23,305 --> 00:07:25,545 I decided to replace it with my own version of it. 116 00:07:25,595 --> 00:07:29,995 so I used cloud code to create a new and improved replacement. 117 00:07:30,045 --> 00:07:35,135 it has all of the features of the now defunct Elga Ado plugin, so, 118 00:07:35,185 --> 00:07:36,885 play pause buttons, 119 00:07:36,935 --> 00:07:39,565 and then the kind of tracking buttons, right, the 120 00:07:39,615 --> 00:07:41,015 previous and next buttons. 121 00:07:41,065 --> 00:07:44,175 the ability to turn on shuffle and favorite, 122 00:07:44,225 --> 00:07:44,905 songs, 123 00:07:44,955 --> 00:07:47,015 but I also added 124 00:07:47,525 --> 00:07:52,445 a repeat button that will cycle through repeat all, repeat next and turn off. 125 00:07:52,495 --> 00:07:53,085 And, 126 00:07:53,775 --> 00:07:54,105 uh, 127 00:07:54,085 --> 00:07:56,445 my personal favorite feature, 128 00:07:56,495 --> 00:08:00,565 which is the ability to map a button directly to a playlist so I I don't have to 129 00:08:00,565 --> 00:08:02,365 go hunting for it. So, 130 00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:03,965 you pick the playlist 131 00:08:04,015 --> 00:08:08,895 and then you choose if you want it to shuffle or not. You press the button and that 132 00:08:08,895 --> 00:08:16,095 playlist starts playing. I love this. It is, it makes it so much easier to play the, 133 00:08:16,395 --> 00:08:21,615 the music I likely want to play. And you can add as many playlist buttons. You just 134 00:08:21,615 --> 00:08:23,475 have a whole page of playlist buttons if you want. 135 00:08:23,525 --> 00:08:28,705 I also added support for the dials on the stream deck plus and plus Excel. I picked 136 00:08:28,705 --> 00:08:32,305 up the

plus XL this week. I'll probably talk about that next week. But, 137 00:08:32,355 --> 00:08:34,115 so there is volume control. And then 138 00:08:34,165 --> 00:08:39,135 Claude named this transport, I guess this is like an old term from the tape deck 139 00:08:39,135 --> 00:08:39,795 days, but 140 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:46,395 it, it is the control button, so you push it to play or pause, and then you turn 141 00:08:46,515 --> 00:08:52,365 it to go to the previous or next track. So really love this. This would've been impossible 142 00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:56,625 for me without Claude Code, and these sort of utilities are 143 00:08:56,675 --> 00:08:58,855 such a great use of AI 144 00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:05,795 using AI to speak its native language, to reduce friction in your life. And I know 145 00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:09,755 I've already talked about this on this show, 146 00:09:09,805 --> 00:09:14,985 but this is something that's often on my mind and probably something I am going to 147 00:09:14,985 --> 00:09:19,095 talk about a lot more in the coming weeks because I think 148 00:09:19,605 --> 00:09:22,575 knowing when to build little utilities for yourself 149 00:09:22,625 --> 00:09:25,915 is, is an increasingly important skill, right? 150 00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:31,415 circling back to WordPress, I I, I used WordPress basically from the time it came 151 00:09:31,415 --> 00:09:31,745 out 152 00:09:32,315 --> 00:09:33,065 and 153 00:09:33,635 --> 00:09:38,495 it did democratize publishing, right? Like after that blogging exploded, 154 00:09:38,545 --> 00:09:44,295 right? As technology gets easier to use for more people, the medium explodes. And 155 00:09:44,295 --> 00:09:47,925 now we are kind of seeing the same thing with native apps 156 00:09:47,975 --> 00:09:49,045 or web apps 157 00:09:49,095 --> 00:09:50,375 where anybody can tell 158 00:09:50,425 --> 00:09:54,825 AI to build it for them and it builds it for them. So I'm, I'm thinking a lot about 159 00:09:54,825 --> 00:09:59,295 this, but this is, that's for another episode. So wrapping up here, 160 00:09:59,782 --> 00:10:03,712 a lot of the things I did this week were really focused on saving me time. 161 00:10:03,712 --> 00:10:07,092 What would you do with an extra 25 hours each month? 162 00:10:07,632 --> 00:10:10,752 This is what I help business owners figure out, 163 00:10:10,802 --> 00:10:15,832 and then I make it happen for them. My client, Annie, spends more time with her kid. 164 00:10:16,222 --> 00:10:22,522 My client Laura, has soup with her aging mother every day. My client Paolo serves 165 00:10:22,522 --> 00:10:26,272 his community better and shows up for his four kids 166 00:10:26,782 --> 00:10:29,422 better because of the work we did together. 167 00:10:29,472 --> 00:10:33,962 Maybe you have dreams of writing a book, volunteering at an organization that means 168 00:10:33,962 --> 00:10:39,272 a lot to you, or spending more time with your family, touching some grass.
