It’s never too late to admit you made a mistake. It’s more powerful to admit a mistake, than to persist when everyone else knows it’s a mistake. It’s a mistake either way, but only one way means you’re either oblivious or disingenuous.

After more than a year of labor, my book 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 has launched! It's all my best ideas -- and best writing -- on how to grow your company with your existing budget and team. And yes, I read the audiobook myself. :-) 𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁: You can buy cheaper bundles directly from me -- Kindle and Audiobook, or those plus the physical book -- from hiddenmultipliers.com 𝗕𝘂𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻: It is available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible: tinyurl.com/hiddenmultiplier… 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: Skills that implement the ideas in the book as well as articles, more added all the time, at skills.asmartbear.com/ I'm so proud of this and grateful to the many people who helped along the way, reading early drafts, challenging my ideas, and encouraging me to do it, and the 750 people who preordered the book, trusting that it would be worth it. All your feedback and ideas are welcome, as usual! (P.S. You know this already, but 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 and 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 is extremely appreciated!)

Introducing Magnitude: your actually local agent 100% private and offline. No token costs, no API keys. Open source. Today's agents are local. The model isn't. Every prompt, every file, every secret gets sent straight to Anthropic and OpenAI. Magnitude is built around local models and runs the whole stack itself. The inference engine is part of the agent, so the models run inside it, right on your computer. It lives in your terminal, and setup is one command. Magnitude profiles your hardware and shows you which models fit, with the trade-offs between quality, speed, and memory. Pick one and start working. No painful config or server to babysit. Out of the box, it can use your shell, edit files, and run scripts. Add skills and it can work with Excel, PowerPoint, PDFs or Chrome. Use it for everyday work: - Analyze sensitive data - Manage private notes - Review code and logs - Search and organize files - Build docs or slides npm i -g @magnitudedev/cli GitHub: github.com/magnitudedev/magn…

You can do anything. But you can’t do everything. You have to decide. If you don’t decide, you get nothing. You can think of a hundred paths to follow. But you can’t follow them all. Use time.

🚀 We released a new thing: `spatie/guidelines-skills`. It turns our internal coding guidelines into AI skills, so coding assistants can follow the same conventions we use at Spatie. That means more useful AI-generated code, with less cleanup afterwards.

This is without knowing anything about your test suite or app, but a few thoughts off the top of my noggin. Realistically, I don't think there will be a quick solve here. My guess is item one will be the place to dig but also requires the most work.
