Sometimes, it’s good to break the cycle and try something new.

Notes may be permanent. My opinions aren't.
Doom porn salesmen are not much better than the people they claim to expose.
Does anybody use @Alby Hub for business as their LN setup for accepting/sending bitcoin?
I wonder if I should look into it. If there an easy API, then why not?
Damn, my app actually works. What do I do now?
No joke, I just wanted to play around and found out quickly: I still like the idea, it works now and I want to launch it.
It’s going to be fun.
They’re microwaving my food in a cafe…
Hope and wait.

AI, robots, cyborgs, flying cars, virtual reality: all that we were programmed in childhood to expect is now becoming real at a fast pace.
A brave new world not for the weak of character.
Sometimes, paranoia kills you faster than what you’re paranoid about.
Alan Watts was a smoker and a drunk, yet I fail to register any fakeness or bloated ego.
The guy was more spiritual than most avid church goers and self-proclaimed gurus.

Will power is muscle to train, a tool.
If, by sheer willpower, you have managed to quit alcohol and other bad habits, get into sports, be a faithful spouse and so on, it doesn’t mean you’ve spiritually grown in any meaningful way.

I actually think making it look pretty will be much more difficult for the AI Agent than creating core functionality.

As of 2024, desalinated water accounts for approximately 98.8% of Dubai's water supply, with the remaining 1.2% sourced from groundwater.

— There’s a shortage of drinking water!
— 71% of planet Earth is water. Desalinate sea water.
— But it’s expensive!
— Ok, die then.
I have no illusions regarding running all the business operations with AI (I’ll have to partner with or hire a CTO, for instance).
But the fact that AI allowed me to get from an idea to a working prototype while I’m not a professional programmer — all within 3 weeks — is mind-blowing!

Well, I have just finished all the core functionality for my app MVP. Replit’s v2 Assistant really helped.
Now, some design tweaks, code cleaning, security audit and deployment to production so I can test with real users and show it to some friends.
And then, let’s see.
Bullish.
I’m now really convinced AI will reduce corporate manpower by orders of magnitude.
9 to 5 is dead.
Russia and the US haven’t magically become friends.
Putin is a traditionalist. Trump is a traditionalist. And the EU and the previous US administration are commies who have grabbed too much power recently.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Never forget:
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women,

The quote came in. You won’t believe it!

Up to $400k with a $50k/mo retainer and a timeframe of 5-6 months.
For an app that is a basically a few SQL transactions and REST and RPC API calls.
They probably saw “BTC” mentioned and instantly imagined me to be a Michael Saylor.
To date, I’ve done 90% of the app myself in three weeks (including a break of one week) and about $100 in AI credits.

I think v2 is definitely better. It had some hiccups yesterday, but today it just delivers!
