Debugging Dan is where I’ll be sharing my personal experiences as I juggle being a husband and a dad, having a full-time job and a passion for side projects. It’s not so much about debugging code, that’s a metaphor. It is about debugging and navigating life in general.
Why start this podcast? For me, it’s about creating a space where we can learn and grow together. Life can get hectic, and side projects can sometimes feel overwhelming. But through this weekly podcast, I hope to offer some guidance, share some laughs, and most importantly, remind you that you’re not alone in this journey.

Dan’s take is: don’t treat AI like a text generator machine. Instead, use it to handle the boring, repetitive stuff and turn your work into actual actions. He argues that future differentiation will come from human communication—AI-generated words/images are getting easier to spot, and the “real you” still matters. But for actionable, repeatable workflows (especially programming and admin tasks), AI can be really powerful—especially with tool-calling, goals/loops, and validation so the work gets checked instead of just outputting words.

Can You Record a Podcast With a Drone?
Dan talks about how he’s been recording his podcast for fun—at first right at his desk, then switching to recording during his morning walks to get more free time. He’s been doing audio-only since he doesn’t use a camera, so he’s running a new experiment: using a drone to record video while he records his podcast. After seeing a YouTube creator use drones, he picked up an affordable DJI drone and tries to have it track him along the path. It works sometimes, but tracking gets tricky when he isn’t walking straight, and there are other people around, so it’s a bit cumbersome.

I use AI... Then Don't
Dan talks about how his AI use tends to come in cycles. He’ll go all-in for a while—having AI draft emails and messages, handling a lot of the “communication + creative” stuff—but then his confidence drops. Sometimes he notices the outputs feel off or too generic, so he starts being more critical, revisits drafts, and decides he should write more himself next time. Then, when he’s busy again and the AI feels good enough, he ramps back up and repeats the pattern. He argues AI isn’t really replacing creativity—it supports the process, while the real creative spark still comes from you. He also points out the social/real-world downside: people send “wall of text” emails and Slack messages that could’ve been short and human, and then others have to summarize or filter the mess with AI. He’s curious whether others do the same “cycle,” or just use AI nonstop.
