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.

@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.

@threepointone Same experience here. 5.5 is simply better for daily work. Faster, smarter, and seems less "trying to impress"

didn't expect to get here, but 5.5 is just better than 4.7 now for me. faster, smarter, and doesn't try to do too much. I don't need xhigh or whatever, I prefer the shorter hops and letting me participate.

@iruletheworldmo It does feel special. It feels like every strong model has had that “this is it” moment until the next one drops. Stay excited but keep shipping.

codex feels like agi and they have much more to come. it’s clear they know exactly what’s needed to get there and it’s fun watching the journey watching the growth of the codex team cook is exhilarating

@hnshah Completely agree. User research and testing separate the products people actually use from the ones that die in stealth mode.

User research and testing should never be an afterthought.

@Route2FI True. A life without something you’re stupidly obsessed with feels flat. Whatever it is pick one and go deep.

How boring life must be if you’re not chronically obsessed with something. Be it crypto, AI, stocks or whatever you’re interested in really.

@bhalligan The smartest moves I’ve seen make AI seem invisible. Not another training session, just agents that sit in the tools people already use and ship work for them. Execution beats hype every time.

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...

@HealthRanger Claude writes the “elegant” code that crashes. Deepseek comes in like the cheap plumber and actually fixes the pipes. Love this timeline.

I just had DeepSeek V4 find and fix 8 memory leaks that were causing crashes in code written by Claude Opus 4.7. DeepSeek found them all and fixed them in minutes, at a total cost of maybe three pennies. DeepSeek is amazingly good at coding and bug fixing. And it costs almost nothing to use, even the Pro version. Best harness? OpenCode.
