Print your most esoteric PDF and go to this meetup in NYC. It's through initiatives like this that we can preserve organic autism. If you don't have a PDF - just DM me.
Yeah I don't think I've found the proper work hygiene for intelligence on tap yet... Feels a little bit like the fast food era of AI
AI was supposed to make us work less
I've never been this tired in my life
most days I have up to 10 agents running at the same time. one fixing a bug, one writing pages, one refactoring something I already forgot I asked for, 3 other I have no idea what they are doing but i suppose i ask it?
and I jump from conversation to conversation all day
compared to 5 years ago, I probably context switch 100x more
by the end of the day my brain is fried. completely toasted. nothing left, not even for the people I love
I call it the fried brain effect
thought it was just me but almost every founder I talk to lately says the exact same thing
we got superpowers, and somehow the pressure only went up. if you can ship 10x more, you feel like you have to ship 10x more. every single day
I don't have a solution
honestly I have no idea where this goes from here
anyone else feeling this?
as nice as vibe coding is for business, it's incredibly empowering for your personal life as well. yesterday I made a local Swift app that allows me to do emotional inquiry with the feelings wheel + AoA audios, and it shows avoided emotions on a heat map over time. took 30 min x2 iterations to make, and now I don't have to jump around 2-3 different apps as part of that routine anymore.
I downloaded Grok Bot last night. Haven't used it since.
What's been the magical moment for ppl? Undoubtedly, some of the posts around it are paid, but this one is not. I'm genuinely curious.
I think e-commerce is an excellent case study
For anyone in software right now
Ecom already went through product commodification
And the players that prevailed created ...
BRANDS
The best time to start a consumer brand, per @Seanfrank:
1. January 2012 at the dawn of Facebook ads
2. Now
Why now?
“It’s moated from AI. I would hate to be trying to sell software right now.”
“People are going to buy stuff forever. You have birthdays. You have Christmas.”
Ridge just had its best Q2 ever, even with inflation and the Iran war.
Frank says this contrasts with the Ukraine war in 2022, when there was a noticeable dip in e-commerce.
“If I had my Shopify notifications on, it would just be chiming all day right now.”
“It’s definitely a vibecession.”
Yesterday I built a content os that will save me 10h+ a week
Outputs 100+ hooks & vsls in <10 minutes
Per usual, ai is a multiplier
Crap in, crap out

> Runs each draft through a "bland detector" gate
