Another day, another Claude update, and another business line that is going to experience turbulence. This time Claude introduced having an easy way to create things like diagrams and flow charts. This won’t kill Miro, but for anyone who just needs a quick diagram, the question is why you’d open a separate tool at all.
Show me a diagram of how hugomelis.nl is organised. I want you to make a neat representation of how it works.
It did it all in one shot. Without me having to tell it anything other then the above prompt, which is just a basic instruction.
Now let’s try something that is a bit more messy.
Ok, now something more difficult. On my website hugomelis.nl can you find a very non-obvious relationship between all my experiments?
The result surprised me, as the diagram explicitly revealed I was just doing these experiments only for myself.
Your key insight is always a statement about yourself — never about the AI tool.
The #irrelevance tag you put on Day 1 wasn’t just a topic — it was the thesis for the whole project. You set out to fight obsolescence and ended up doing daily self-examination with AI tools as the mirror. The blog isn’t a tech blog. It’s a self-awareness journal disguised as one.
Reading this made me feel like not posting the results from this query at all and opting for another diagram.
I felt a bit of shame reading it. So I continued down the rabbit hole and asked: “Would this still be interesting for people to read?” and the response was:
Yes — and precisely because of that hidden pattern, not despite it. The internet is drowning in “I tested Tool X, here’s what happened” posts. Nobody needs another AI tool review. What’s rare is someone who’s willing to show the mess underneath: the perfectionism, the fear, the girlfriend saying “no thanks” to your clever automation. That’s the part people actually remember.
Key Insight
The diagram was supposed to be the subject of this experiment, and instead it turned the spotlight on me. That’s either the most useful thing a diagram ever done, or the most uncomfortable. Probably both.
