Who I Really Am: A Story About Seeing What Others Miss For 15 years, I lived in the trenches of enterprise IT infrastructure. Server migrations, network troubleshooting, Microsoft environments that break in creative ways. I became the guy companies called when their systems failed and nobody knew why. Then I made an unexpected move: I became a salesperson. Not because I loved sales, but because I wanted to understand the other side. What do IT managers actually struggle with when the phone isn’t ringing with emergencies? Over 5 months, I had conversations with 600+ IT managers across companies ranging from 100 to 600+ employees. What I discovered changed everything. The pattern was everywhere: IT managers drowning in vendor calls, users frustrated with enterprise tools designed for efficiency rather than usability, and a massive gap between what software companies build and what people actually need to get work done. Most revealing insight: A seasoned IT manager told me, “If I had a magic wand, I’d make all the dumb users disappear.” That’s when it clicked. The problem isn’t dumb users. The problem is smart enterprise software that makes normal people feel dumb. Then my best friend started a powder factory. He needed simple inventory management - nothing fancy, just track stock levels. We searched everywhere. Nothing existed that did just that. Everything was bloated with features he didn’t need. So I built it myself using AI tools. It works. It’s in production. It solves exactly one problem perfectly. That’s when I realized what I actually am: I’m not transitioning from IT to development. I’m completing my arsenal. •15 years of systems knowledge = I understand why things break •600+ customer conversations = I know what people actually need •Technical building capability = I can create solutions that don’t exist I’ve accidentally built the rarest combination in tech: domain expertise + market validation + technical execution. Most developers learn to code and then wonder what to build. Most domain experts know what to build but can’t code. I’m in the sweet spot between both worlds. Here’s what I’ve learned: Your career path isn’t random. It’s market research in disguise. Every job, every conversation, every frustration is data about problems that need solving. The opportunities are hiding in plain sight. You just need to know how to see them. Now I’m systematically turning 15 years of “random” experience into applications that solve problems I’ve personally validated. This isn’t about learning to code. This is about printing money from problems I already know exist. Welcome to my journey of bridging domains that shouldn’t be separated in the first place.

Send this to your chief of staff @bot : "Get all the bots together and send each one off to improve one thing. Be proactive and impress me, but nothing that needs my permission. Find the gaps I haven't thought of."

Grok bot Two pro tips- 1- tell your bots to make a backup of themselves once per week with all their memories and routines. Make sure they save it to your pc or Dropbox. If your account gets deleted, you can pick right back up with hardly missing a beat. 2- don’t ever download any introduce anyone else’s bot build to your account. There’s way too great a risk that they will mess something up. Build your own bots from the ground up.

I find this really cool!

I have Grok Bot on my iPhone, Mac, and Windows PC I can switch between devices anytime and pick up right where I left off No interruptions. No remote control setup. Everything just works I find this really cool

This is a sick visual

Fun little loop you can run your agent on for basically anything: "Imagine this is a 3/10 output, what would it take to get to a 7/10 and a 10/10. Think of dimensions to evaluate our work against and work up the chain. Use these vectors to start: {relevant vectors}" Then have it loop a couple times by taking action on the 7/10 3-4x.

Most people I know who use AI in their work are missing out on a lot of power It's not because of the tools they use, but because they don't have a solid understanding of how the tools work.

Yep Companies now hiring an AI Specialist
