Hi everyone! 👋 · Clief Notes

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Karli, Bas's wife.

I just joined the community and wanted to introduce myself. If you've spent any amount of time here, there's a good chance you've seen Bas around. He seems to be everywhere. 😂

The good news is you don't have to worry about me posting nearly as much as he does. He does enough talking for both of us.

And for anyone wondering: yes, he is exactly the same in person.

In all seriousness, I have to give Bas credit for encouraging me to explore AI. Years ago, he told me I was way ahead of the curve when it came to AI and that I had a way of communicating with it that just made sense. He always said I was naturally good at prompting and getting great results, and honestly, that's a big part of what inspired me to learn more about AI and pursue it further. I also come from a graphic design background, and as someone who's neurodivergent, I've found that AI complements the way I think, learn, and solve problems.

By day, I'm a hairstylist and educator in Southern California. I've been behind the chair for over a decade, specializing in international hairdressing with a focus on dimensional low maintenance hair color, and textured razor cutting.

AI has become an important tool for me both professionally and personally. I use it for brainstorming, client communication, marketing, content creation, education, business planning, and learning new skills.

The thing I'm most excited about right now is that I'm building an app for hairstylists. I don't come from a software development background, so it's been a huge learning experience, but AI has made me realize that building something like this is actually possible.

I'm here to learn more about Claude, Claude Code, AI-assisted development, and to connect with other people who are exploring what these tools can do.

Looking forward to learning from all of you!
