Healthy AI First (English)

About Healthy AI First (English)

We work with AI faster than ever. At least it feels that way. Across eight episodes, Healthy AI First tells what studies really say about productivity with AI, where the time we gain disappears, and how to work with coding agents and AI assistants without burning out. For developers and anyone who writes, analyzes and plans with AI at work. Healthy AI First is AI-researched and AI-generated, narrated in Björn's voice, recreated with AI, and reviewed by him. You will find all studies and sources in the show notes of every episode.

   My AI Daily Briefing as a Spotify Podcast with Claude | Episode 9

   The first practice episode: I show you my AI daily briefing, which lands in my Spotify library as a private podcast every morning at six thirty. A local page collects my calendar, tasks and messages, Claude turns them into a text for the ear, and Studio by Spotify Labs (often searched as Spotify Studio Labs) voices it. Along the way: why an AI morning briefing for listening has to be written differently from one for reading, what went wrong when I voiced long texts, and how you can start small yourself. Chapters 00:00 Opening 01:01 Welcome 01:53 The Morning Before 02:48 One Page Instead of Ten Tabs 03:56 Rules Against Making Things Up 04:57 Five Thirty 06:02 Writing for the Ear 07:27 A word from us 08:19 Studio by Spotify Labs 09:10 Six Thirty 10:32 What Went Wrong 12:02 What It Brings 12:56 Try It Yourself 13:53 Closing All sources, studies and the companion document for this episode: https://clnwork.com/podcast/healthy-ai-first/en/episode-09 (https://clnwork.com/podcast/healthy-ai-first/en/episode-09) All data in the video (tasks, meetings, names) is made up; the setup is real.

   Episode 8: Measure Honestly, Try It Yourself (Series Finale)

   Miriam's department head wants a number by the end of the month: how much faster is the team with AI? Instead of one big shiny number, we follow Miriam, the team lead, with Daniel and Jonas for 4 weeks like a diary. Week one: only watching. Weeks two and three: one person works with the new rule, the other with the old one, and they swap after a week. Week four: looking at the results. They measure with a car dashboard of 3 gauges. Along the way, we meet Goodhart's law, a broken Thursday that a summary written by AI hides in the median, and a single page for the budget meeting. And one last time: your number. Chapters 00:00 Opening 01:04 Welcome 01:54 The First Temptation 03:08 The Dashboard 04:09 Fuel Gauge and Warning Light 05:37 Week One: Just Watching 07:22 A word from us 08:14 Switching Sides 09:48 Week Two 10:57 Week Three 12:24 Week Four: The Smooth Summary 13:50 One Page for the Budget Meeting 15:29 What Nobody Knows Yet 16:25 Your Number All sources, studies and the companion document for this episode: https://clnwork.com/podcast/healthy-ai-first/en/episode-08 (https://clnwork.com/podcast/healthy-ai-first/en/episode-08) Miriam, Daniel, Jonas and the department head are fictional. In episode 1, Daniel stood in for the participants of the METR study; from episode 2 on, he is a fictional colleague on Miriam's team and did not take part in the study. The course and results of Miriam's experiment (the hard week two, the broken Thursday, Daniel's understanding check) are made up too; they show one possible interpretation of a pilot, not measured or typical values. A real experiment may also show no improvement or a deterioration. Healthy AI First is AI-researched and AI-generated, narrated in Björn's voice, recreated with AI, and reviewed by him.

   Episode 7: A Workday with Energy Left at Night

   We rewind Jonas's Tuesday and tell it again: one single change, an appointment reminder with a daylight saving trap, from sizing up the task to exploring, a 4-line contract, Daniel's review and a careful rollout. Alongside it, Miriam's day with a calendar that is only half hers, and what of all this still works for juniors and people on call. The workflow is a proposal to try out, not a proven optimal work cycle.

   Episode 6: What a Green Test Proves

   An agent reports "all checks passed", and everything is green. This episode asks what each check really proves, why an agent can bend its own tests, and why a second AI model as reviewer can share the same blind spot. Also: how to protect test files from the agent, mutation testing for changed lines only, risk classes as a team agreement, the ironies of automation, and the explain-back check.

   Episode 5: The Right Medium

   Miriam, the team lead, read a 12-page AI-written concept twice and still can't find the answer when Daniel asks in a meeting what happens if a payment notification arrives twice. This episode is about why a small diagram sometimes clarifies more than many pages of text, when duplicate explanations and voice help or hurt, and why explaining something to the AI yourself does more than just listening to it. With a rubber duck that asks back, a prompt to take away, and an experiment for developers and office work.

   Episode 4: How Much Can Run at Once

   At 10:40 in the morning, 3 of Jonas's 4 agents reach for him at the same time, and a couple of rooms away, Miriam loses track of her own quarterly plan across 3 AI chats. This episode explains attention residue, takes apart the myth of the "23 minutes", and uses Little's Law to show why more agents with the same review capacity mostly mean longer waits. Plus a tool tip on separate git worktrees, a resumption point for every switch, and a suggestion to try out, for developers and for the office. Fictional characters: Jonas (junior developer), Daniel (senior developer), Miriam (team lead for Daniel and Jonas). The Little's Law calculation is an illustration, not a measurement.

   Episode 3: Before the First Prompt

   A ticket made of a single sentence, an agent that builds a clean account deletion feature in 20 minutes, and a question from Jonas that reveals what the agent quietly decided along the way. Meanwhile, the AI writes a delivery date into Miriam's client proposal that nobody ever committed to. This episode is about which decisions have to stay with people and which ones the agent can safely make: load-bearing walls, one-way doors, locks instead of notes in the prompt, a lost Mars probe, and how much planning is really needed. Fictional characters: Jonas (junior developer), Daniel (senior developer), Miriam (team lead for Daniel and Jonas). All studies and cases are real.

   Episode 2: Where the Time Goes

   When AI writes the code, the work doesn't disappear. It moves: from writing to explaining, reviewing and fitting things together. This episode follows the trail of the time, shows why more code is a poor measure of success, and explains how a team can ship more every day and still make slower progress. Plus a tool tip on reading lead times from Git and GitHub. Fictional characters in this episode: Jonas (junior developer), Daniel (senior developer; in episode 1 a stand-in for the study participants, from now on part of the team), Miriam (team lead for Daniel and Jonas), Hanna (wedding photographer, this episode's image).

   Episode 1: It Feels Faster

   16 experienced developers expect AI to make them almost a quarter faster. Measured, they are slower, and afterward they still believe they were faster. The opening episode of Healthy AI First tells why our gut feeling is a poor measuring instrument when we work with AI, what other studies say against it, and where the series goes over the next 7 episodes.
