BCI: Facts, Fiction, and Tom Cruise
The notion of brain computer interfaces is well-worn in literature and cinema. What happens when life imitates art?
What Will Your Great-Grandchildren Think?
What exactly is the legacy of the upper-management professionals of an era?
F*&k You Money
Why AE's equity plan is likely to help you reach F-U money...and why you still won't want to say "F-U."
Old Bayesian Seasoning
Simple conversations become nuanced and insightful with a sprinkling of conditional probability.
The best data scientists will never win a Kaggle competition
There's more to life (and data science) than winning Kaggle competitions.
How We Built and Sold a Startup
It turns out that agency-increasing technology is good for people and business alike.
Bugs and Candor
At some point, you're adding bugs faster than you can squash 'em.
What's Your Equity Worth?
Not all equity is created equal.
Victims of Vimeo
To all the victims of Vimeo's stunning, 10x price increases, we offer our condolences...and an alternative.
The Tyranny of Percentiles
The difference between a 99th percentile data scientist and a 99th percentile athlete is enormous.
Tomorrow: Future States of Mind
Memories are more than items hastily-written on a To-Do list.
BCI: Politically-Incorrect Game Theory
How to discuss Federer and Serena competing on a tennis court without getting cancelled.

Rock stars come and go, most having discussed what they would do for love, but few who insisted upon what they won’t.

The Edge of Honesty: Who Must Answer Hard Questions?
A fair debate requires that both sides grapple with their position's nastiest edge cases.
Why Do We Make Bad Decisions Despite the Data?
Why fear and myopia keep data scientists awake at night...
Making Software Consulting Great for Developers
Consulting should suck much less.
Taking the Other Side of Every Argument
Would you rather a scarecrow (strawman) or this guy?
Building the best model of brain activity: We're Leading The Neural Latents Benchmark Challenge
"We don't quit at halftime" (But we are in the lead)
Why Machine Learning Projects Fail
Why all ML projects should consider BATMAN and ROBIN.
Assess the Garden, not the Seeds: Planning for Multiple Failures
Why emergent properties are evaluated only in the aggregate.
Focus on Unpopular Problems
Change the world by noticing how others are trying to change the world...and do something different!

Reclaiming My Life From Algorithms
Make sure the decisions you make are actually decisions you make.
Settling Arguments With Baseline Expectations
Adjusting your baseline expectations could relieve your fantasy football woes. A data scientist explains why you should take a new approach to this season's draft.

AE's Effective Altruism in June 2021
In our ongoing mission to increase human agency for all, we donate to a highly effective charity each month. Check out who we committed to helping last month.
Developing in Windows 11 is Better Than You Think
A short, useless blog post that just says we are the best developers in LA on Clutch, but hey we are and that's kinda cool
Chances Are, You Aren't Communicating Well. Here's Why.
There's no right way to communicate in the Age of Technology and Remote Work. Each person has their own random set of rules for what's acceptable. But this is the one trick that works.
Can the TV Shows You Watch Make You a Better Person?
Knowing that entertainment is as big a part of our lives as sleeping and eating, it’s incredibly powerful to realize that our entertainment can make us smarter, more motivated, and more open-minded if we choose consciously and correctly.
Is #LaserEyes Over? How We Got Big Names to Memeify Themselves
Somehow the internet got politicians, investors & other celebrities to add laser eyes to their very public social profiles. How'd it happen? And is the #LaserEyes trend dying as the price of bitcoin dips?
Headless CMS vs. Legacy CMS
Now is the time to rethink your outdated CMS and transition to using a headless CMS. Here's how and why we did it for a major client using GraphCMS.
Why Don't We Acknowledge How Astonishing Human Progress Is?
300 years ago, we never could've predicted how far technology would take us. We think it's only going to make our lives better...

Emphasizing harmony over balance allows you to integrate parts of your life and invite them to work together—because you're one whole, complete human.

AE Studio's CTO Greg Buckner dishes on the future of NFTs, how to pick an agency as a non-technical founder, and more on The Startup Stack podcast.
AE Studio Gives Back: Our May 2021 Charity Initiatives
In our ongoing mission to increase human agency for all, we donate to a highly effective charity each month. Check out who we committed to helping in May.
The 5 Love Languages of Clients
Does your client prefer emails over meetings? Do they like compliments? Identifying and communicating in your client's preferred "love" language can change the relationship and make projects run a lot smoother.
Use This Library to Integrate Apple HealthKit with React Native
Millions of people track their health metrics in Apple Health every day. Now there's a library to help you leverage that data to create apps in React Native.
Find Out Where You Can Fly Right Now
We built a super simple-to-use tool called Apocalypse Travel that tells you if you can fly to your destination of choice, and what you're required to do when you get there.
Summon the MSN Gods to Fix Your Internet
An ancient urban legend says that if you visit msn.com when your internet goes out, it will magically come back to life. We created a Chrome extension so you can try it yourself.
Zoom Fatigue & The Rise (and Fall) of Clubhouse
Screen-related burnout drove the masses to go back to basics and talk on the phone using Clubhouse—an invite-only audio app that gained millions of new users in weeks. As people start socializing again, the question is, are those numbers sustainable?
Why We Hire People Who Don't Have College Degrees
Do you really need a college degree to land an amazing job? Nope. Or at least not at AE Studio. We make a case for the dropouts—and those who never attended in the first place.
The #1 Reason Good Startups Fail—And How We Make Sure It Won't Happen To Us
The biggest reason startups sink might surprise you. Here's how we avoided it, and how we set our team members up to be great potential startup founders themselves.

AE Studio team members talk about the special sauce that goes into creating a successful startup on Heroku's podcast, Code[ish].
How Our Slack App Got to 200K Users with No Marketing Whatsoever
We created a free Slack message scheduler & didn't market it. Yet, somehow, we have 200k users & counting. What does that tell us?
Turn Any Client Into Your Ideal Client
By following a few steps early in the relationship, you can transform a potentially difficult client into your favorite client. 🤝 (Those shopping for an agency, this one's for you, too!)
How AE Studio is helping Point bring customized fitness recommendations to users with the help of Forest Admin

Must-Read Books for Founders Who Want to Seem Like They Read Stuff
Books that you should read that are either actually useful, you'll seem uncool if you haven't heard of, or both!
Fixing your LinkedIn profile to get better job offers for developers (instead of annoying messages)
You could be missing out on some amazing job opportunities just because your LinkedIn profile doesn’t accurately show what you know. Many really qualified people are invisible to recruiters because they don't add enough information—or the right information—to their profiles.
I’m not a data scientist but I made a COVID mask detector with Google AutoML and React – Doctor Masky
Neural-network-based object detection is a powerful technique that's getting easier and easier to take advantage of. With Google's Cloud AutoML computer vision service, it's now simple and cheap to train a powerful object detection model and deploy it as a client-side React app.
So you think you can code?
A true senior developer realizes they don't really know anything at all.
Don't let people tell you DO's and DON'Ts for JavaScript, Git, React, Node (but here are some anyway)
