  • The AI Episode
    Jan 22 2026

    Benedikt and Benedicte talk about feeling more productive with AI and why we should use it mindfully.

    With their year and quarter planning done, Benedikt shares some of their plans and targets for Userlist this 2026. He also shares how he used Claude Code to take care of “annoying projects” on their codebase, find crosslinking opportunities, and more.

    Benedicte and Ola vibe coded, refined, and deployed the first version of the theft flow for Whee! which will be user tested soon. She also played around with AI for some docs work at Outseta and was amazed when it built a demo Next app in one shot.

  • The Forties
    Dec 12 2025

    Benedikt turns a year older. Benedicte moves forward despite the curveballs.

    Benedikt took a week off work to celebrate his 40th birthday. He spent his birthday week with a few parties with family and friends, and seeing two concerts. On the work front, he and the team built a Snowflake integration. And with the ETL infrastructure now in place, this potentially opens doors for other integrations.

    Despite another major extended family upheaval, Benedicte carries on by going on morning walks and focusing on her projects. She recently shipped the new Framer plugin version, made demos, and is planning to get the documentation for the plugin.

    Benedikt and Benedicte talk about books, how fast the internet is breaking nowadays, and more.

    Mentioned on the show:

    • Surrounded by Idiots – a book by Thomas Erikson
    • Antifragile – a book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
    • Nonviolent Communication – a book by B. Marshall Rosenberg
