Glenn Acree, Data Nerds/Acree Consulting and Steve Brugman, Oracle
Recent Explorations in Friendship and Problem-Solving with Claude and Cursor
Glenn and Steve have been friends for years through conversations that have chased topics of all sorts, from business, technology, politics, parenting, and more recently along with the rest of the world ... AI. For the last several months AI—specifically building stuff with Claude and Cursor—seems to have become somewhat of a compulsion, obsession, or something akin to these ideas. In addition to the details of project development, a broader discussion of curiosity, the benefits of differing perspectives, the act of play, and the pleasure of friendship is certain to flow from the conversation.

Join us for the conversation!
We'll look forward to seeing you on February 2nd.
