In this post I want to look at two implications for the SMB software market : why your product almost has to be a first-class citizen inside tools like Claude to stay in the candidate set, and why being in that candidate set also puts you a step closer to being benchmarked, ranked, and eventually replaced by the platform itself. I also walk through the plugin-and-connector architecture behind the payroll workflow Anthropic uses in the launch video.</description></item><item><title>Mapping the code-as-video landscape --- deterministic to generative, with a learning-content lens</title><link>https://bil.arikan.ca/posts/code-as-video-landscape-for-learning-content/</link><pubDate>Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://bil.arikan.ca/posts/code-as-video-landscape-for-learning-content/</guid><description>The first two posts in this series put Editframe through its paces on a hello-world clip and a 71-second product walkthrough. This third post zooms out. The question is no longer &amp;lsquo;does code-as-video work for L&amp;amp;D&amp;rsquo; &amp;mdash; the first two experiments answered that. It is which other frameworks belong in the picture, where they sit on a deterministic-to-generative spectrum, and what each tier can credibly contribute to a learning content development workflow.</description></item></channel></rss>
