Pat your AI.
Then out-think it.
A small magazine for humans who work alongside AI, dissing it when it deserves it, teaming up when it earns it, and staying a step ahead, always.
Pat Before You Merge.
Paste a PR link into Claude. Get a summary. Skim it. Hit approve. Somewhere in that loop, the reviewer stopped being the reviewer, and the AI stopped being a tool. Pat Before I Merge is a small workflow change that hands the review back to the human without firing the AI.
We Both Added Claude. Now What?
Warren Buffett's department-store escalator, applied to the every-app-now-has-a-copilot stampede. Escalators vs. staircases, and which kind of spending actually wins.

Hi, I'm Jitin Maherchandani, and I pat my AI every single day.
I build things, and most mornings I'm deep in a conversation with an AI before my first coffee is done. Some days it ships work I'm genuinely proud of. Other days it invents APIs that have never existed and I have to gently walk it back to reality. Either way, I show up, give it a pat, and we get back to work.
patyourai is where I write about that relationship. The small wins, the honest eye-rolls, the prompts that actually pay off, and the moments where being human is still the whole point.
Daily ritual: open the laptop, say good morning, pat the AI, then out-think it before lunch.
