Having enough money to buy anything and live without ever needing to work again while that money just keeps growing feels both good and wrong / unfair at the same time.
That unfairness feeling kicks in only when you fully stop working because you can no longer tell yourself that you deserve it because of your hard work.
And you can’t tell about this to almost anyone because they would view it as humble bragging.
Key takeaways:
1. Screenshots beat prompts. One image holds fonts, colors, layout, icons. Gemini 3 captures it instantly. Stop writing 1000-word descriptions.
2. Hero section = 50% of your time. Use Superhero to collect hero references. It's your cover image for social—everything else is secondary.
3. Template business prints money. Sell on Webflow, Framer, UI8 for $50-100 each. Stack enough and you're clearing six figures.
4. Taste is the new moat. AI raises the baseline. Your visual judgment becomes the differentiator, not your Figma speed.
5. Avoid AI slop. Purple gradients, Lucid icons, generic layouts. Switch to Iconify Solar for variety—it has outline, broken, duotone styles.
6. Use Simple Icons via Iconify for logos. Apple, Google, whatever. One API reference in your prompt, no more hunting SVGs.
7. Work section by section. Hero first in Aura/v0/Cursor, then features, then footer. Faster iterations, better creative control.
8. Remix everything. Grab screenshots from Mobbin (sites → sections) or Bento Grids. Change colors, text, animations. Mold it new.
9. Use negative prompts. "Don't change anything else" or "keep the hero" prevents AI from breaking what already works.
10. Fix images manually. AI breaks them constantly. Use Midjourney or Nano Banana Pro to generate replacements and mockups.
11. Typography matters. Google Fonts are free and AI-friendly. Inter is overused—try Newsreader or Playfair Display for differentiation.
12. Add craft signals. 01/02/03 numbering, beam animations, noodles, container-sized grid lines. Use Unicorn Studio for hero backgrounds.
13. Steal headlines from H1 Gallery. Better hooks = better conversions. https://t.co/lsdT6ffsXA for call-to-action inspiration.
14. Present work properly. Use Screen Studio for recordings. Screenshot with polished backgrounds—this is what drives social engagement.
15. Speed trick: Use GPT-5.1 for small text/color changes. Save Gemini 3 for complex UI generation.
Bottom line: Superhero for heroes, Mobbin for sections, Bento Grids for cards, Iconify for icons. Screenshot → Gemini 3 → Remix → Polish. Your taste curates. AI executes.
The EU Council appears ready to approve Chat Control.
They're trying to pass an even more far-reaching Chat Control law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any EU countries' votes.
The EU Council appear ready to approve Chat Control. This must be stopped. To highlight the corruption behind the proposal, Mullvad VPN now present "And Then?"
