Spent the day at Code with Claude. Brought six of the best HARD MODE teams with me to SF and we ran a showcase of hardware x AI projects. Definitely seeing more excitement around physical things. Also heard an interesting like around products reaching saturation when tech gets too good. Which makes me think: chat >...

HARD MODE projects have now racked up nearly 3M views across all platforms! Been invited to take some of the best ones to SF this week to showcase at Code with Claude ! Would love to chat to people interested in Hardware x AI. Who should I meet?
