You made me realize something. I routinely spend upwards of 500$ per month on LLMs for coding (expensed towards clients). However I live in a place where 500$ is around the avg. salary. I’m lucky that I know my way around western clients. C

Are you actually seeing any signs that we’re going back to how software was written before, and needing those skills in the same way? Because I sure am not seeing that right now. As someone who vibe codes 100% and has become managements fav

I am still trying to find a replacement for cursor. But in the past 30D my automations and my own coding has consumed well above 10 billion tokens for less than 300$ with auto and composer 2.5; while building a fairly stable product with 20

Well to a lot of people this is still a foreign concept.

Why Python? Because I have written it for 10+ years, know how to debug it and I can smell it within 10 seconds of the agent writing code if it does something that is going to end in a huge foot gun. With any other language, not so much; I w

I had sworn to never use VSCode until Pycharm fell behind on integrating LLMs. And I was a loyal JB user for 10+ years. Then Zed and Cursor came out and I never touched another JB product since then.

It works. You’re just not doing it right if it doesn’t work for you. It’s hard to convince me otherwise at this point.

It’s a little hard to believe when I remember game dev jobs already being a mess in 2019.

You’ll be shocked to see how many job postings for only fans chatters are up on Reddit when you search for them (several are posted every hour). Some ads are looking for 10-20 chatters at once. But the people taking on these jobs are applyi

Do you mean the creatives? I do outsource the creatives. For ads, I largely automate setting up and maintaining them; like rebalancing and demand generation scripts. But here we are talking good old spreadsheet magic not AI. I do use some A

I come from a few years experience in Marktech, but I am also now training a partner of mine to run and maintain ads with zero to no experience. The best way to go about it is using something like Gemini guided-learning, asking it to explai

I consistently launch small vibe codes products. Slap ads on them and after a few weeks decide what to do with them without launching them anywhere else and am seeing good results. I see little to no reason to even launch them any other way

Understanding how to run paid advertising well beyond throwing money and a budget at a campaign and calling it a day. It’s generally not covered by most solo or bootstrapped founder guides, but in 2026 it can make all the difference. And it

Marketing for founders in 2026: just buy ads and invest into actual marketing. Because everyone else is busy spamming SaaS directories, subreddits and twitter (often with sock puppets) and wasting everyone’s time.

I know, but its certainly a new paradigm.

I am starting to believe it’s not OPUS but developers getting better at using LLMs across the board. And not realizing they are just getting much better at using these tools. I also thought it was OPUS 4.5 (also tested a lot with 4.6) and t

I mean, I would, and I will. There are enough people that will allow this. Just look at the OpenClaw hype. I have also seen a lot of my friends build these type of automations for themselves; or attempt to. Which leads me to believe there i

Awesome, so I no longer have to use Firecrawl or my own crawler to scrape entire websites for an agent? Especially when needing residential proxies to do so on Cloudflare protected sites? Why though?

I can't wait for the days where LLM written articles are indistinguishable from real writing, so people stop complaining about this. I am giving that another 6 months. In a lot of cases its not just lazy prompt -> article, but rathe

Of course, I guess then this post is more about the category of apps where it doesn't matter that much. But there are still a ton of apps where all they are doing is bringing together a bunch of API keys and profit the difference.

Yes absolutely. A lot of these apps are surface level great, but the you dig deeper and its really just as easy to build the same functionality yourself. Keeping in mind that these are all decently well funded projects. Often the "issu

The idea that someone could hold copyright over such a tiny snippet of code is just as stupid as LLMs regurgitating them.

The automation which allowed 99% of the jobs to disappear, will be responsible for (pulling this out of my ass, to get a point across) 90-200% of the new jobs which we now can do.

The funny thing about Langchain is (and a lot of developers will attest to this), is the more "serious" your application becomes, or your app becomes production ready. The more you start to understand what Langchain is doing, and

Usually 5-6 hours. For the life of me, I can't consistently sleep anywhere above 7 hours, let alone get more than 8. I do always wake up well rested.
