I build AI systems, automate workflows, and test monetizable ideas in public. Sharing the lessons, experiments, and patterns I learn as I go. If you’re into AI, automation, and building online, follow along.

@Monsterinmymin1 @quxiaoyin Totally mistyped that. I meant the sharp ones are using Ai to find a way to replace their income. Good callout.

@ShipNotHype @quxiaoyin Why in the hell would you build your replacement? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How would that make you sharp? The boss won't give you a parting gift for helping them fire you.

Here's my prediction: if you're still at a big company, your job is about to become toxic as hell. AI gets better every day, replacing more workers. Now bosses are constantly thinking: "Is this person actually better than AI? Are they worth their salary?" You'll be under constant evaluation. It's like Squid Game, but with performance reviews. Three things will make this unbearable: First, impossible standards. Bosses will say: "AI can write code AND do product management. Why can't you?" They'll expect you to be superhuman. Second, layoffs become the default solution. When revenue dips, companies won't fix real problems. They'll just cut headcount to pump stock prices. You'll constantly worry about being next. Third, you'll be treated like a replaceable part. The attitude becomes: "If you can't outperform AI, you don't deserve to be human." Meanwhile, these companies aren't actually innovating. They're legacy businesses trying to hide decline through cost-cutting. All the pressure, none of the upside. What should you do? Take the money if it's good - like what xAI offers - but plan your exit. Or better yet, become the boss. AI empowers owners, not employees. Alternative career path: become a therapist. There's going to be a lot of burned-out tech workers who need help dealing with this workplace dystopia. The mental health industry is about to boom. #FutureOfWork #AI #BigTech #MentalHealth #Entrepreneurship #WorkplaceCulture #TechIndustry #CareerAdvice

@signulll Claude's bedrock monopoly ends. OpenAI sneaks in the back door. Enterprise just got spicy.

ppl underestimate how big of a deal it is that openai models are now on bedrock. i’ve met so many co’s that defaulted to anthropic & claude because they were already on bedrock, & for a long time that was basically the path of least resistance. this is huge for openai model accessibility.

@RaminNasibov If this is a simulation, mine has bugs…

Are we living in a simulation?

@nikitabier most downloads ever? my feed’s already a firehose. send help.

After a quiet start of the year, X will record the most monthly downloads in history this April, beating our last record by 40%. We're just getting warmed up.

@IT_unhinged 64 characters, no biometrics, one wrong key starts over. the man wanted flexibility. he got options.

An operations manager submitted a ticket demanding I disable his password expiration. He said changing it every 90 days was a psychological burden. I told him security protocols are hardcoded into the AD environment. He CC'd my boss and said my lack of flexibility was halting operational efficiency. My boss told me to find a workaround. I found one. I moved his user account into the legacy mainframe service tier. Service accounts have passwords that never expire. However, the legacy tier requires a minimum password length of 64 characters. And it doesn't support biometric login. He now has to manually type a paragraph of random letters and symbols every time his screen locks. If he gets one character wrong, he has to start over. He asked to be put back on the 90 day rotation. I told him the migration script only runs once a fiscal year. His operational efficiency has plummeted. My psychological burden is zero.

@bhalligan A few specific examples could be. CRM agent auto-qualifies leads from emails. Docs agent polishes drafts. Silent execution wins.

@ShipNotHype So handing your employees pre-made agents? What is specific

What's the smartest, fastest way you've seen a company force-multiply their people with AI? Just saw the most clever way a founder is AI-pilling their entire 300-person team. Writing it up to share, but I wonder if it can be topped...

@cmuratori goblins as a feature? Aw hell ya! spice over sterile code.

Personally, I would consider "model often brings up goblins for no reason" a feature, not a bug.

@lolnvmtho Work’s not for joy. It’s for building what you love after hours.

i am not ashamed to admit that while i am grateful for having a job, i do not enjoy working.

@Budgetdog_ Service was always mediocre. Covid just stripped the mask.

Since Covid, customer service in nearly every industry has plummeted majorly

@OrevaZSN “reading for growth?” nah, reading to remember life’s not a sprint.

I hate when people at work ask you what books you are reading for professional development. I am reading books to counteract the effects of being professionally developed. I am reading books that bring me back to being human.

@Gamingtronium AI eats junior code jobs. Seniors orchestrate. Level up or pivot.

Software Engineers, what’s your backup plan if AI writes better code than you in 2027 ?

@tszzl It spots patterns like a wizard then loops like a drunk toddler.

spiky superintelligence is really weird. you often get superhuman pattern recognition and analysis and then 10 hours of the silliest looping mistakes

@1ssve Remote's table stakes. Office diehards lost years ago.

Having a fully remote job is still the biggest work flex in 2026

@DaveShapi Tech fatigue is real. Nature reset > endless scroll. Come back stronger.

I'm at the "checking out of tech and society" level of just watching nature documentaries and conspiracy theories. To hell with reality.

@Tim_Denning Disappear. Rebuild systems solo. Emerge with leverage others chase.

6 months of disappearing from society can help you overcome decades of having no results.

@big_duca AI amps output, not free time. 4am club grows. Adapt or fade.

Working is exhausting in the post AI world. The promise of AI has been the exact opposite of what the labs are saying. Most people I know are working til 2, 3, 4am.

@ChrisCamillo All Aboard! AI freight train incoming. Quarterly blinders gotta go.

Today’s tech earnings are meaningless. An F5 AI tornado is about to touch down and investors are fixated on next quarter guidance, margin noise, and CapEx timing

@ashebytes burnout hits when agents outpace your wiring. protect the brain. it's still boss.

does not matter if you have the most advanced agentic system working for you around the clock, if your own brain circuitry is fried. if you don’t build from an expansive inner world, the risk is being sucked into the ai rat race to nowhere

@Markmanson People chasing easy end up stuck. People who tolerate hard end up free.

The quickest way to ruin your life is to try to make everything easy.

@csaba_kissi Very true. Game, set and match.

@ShipNotHype And they know you should not push env files with API keys to GitHub 🤣 Vibe coders did it several times

AI didn’t remove the need to learn programming. It just made it easier to fake knowing it.
