Building business infrastructure for solo operators and business owners who are scaling.

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@Harish_521 The most efficient and cost effective at producing business outcomes within budget constraints and deadlines.

AI or not that's always been 90% of industry jobs.

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@boson2photon I'll tell you when I find out.

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@0xSero Bro is gonna pull up to the gun range with deepseek 41 flash 1017 and two dgx sparks.

fr tho, yeah, open models must stay open

[LunaNine @lunanineai]

Generating a website with AI is a solved problem, anyone can do it in minutes

But if you run a solo business, the more important question is what you want to be responsible for after launch

hosting and deployment? making the next edit when your services or prices change?

You might know how to handle all of that
but do you really want another administrative role?

Don’t be caught accidentally signing up for a second job!!

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@aryanlabde The take:

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@TrueAIHound @peterevoss RWKV is interesting but yeah.

I wish there was an easier way to do embodied intelligence

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@edinsoncode Has someone made a Gambling Addiction token? something just named that?

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@DougKennedy93 Yeah but the most viral are written after getting served divorce papers because you missed the birth of your son to finish a presentation.

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@RadicalKjax Yo!

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@MartinGTobias @benvspak it's your time to shine

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@edinsoncode I'm surprised no one has snuck an XMR miner on some random skill

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

Assuming their family has not shunned them, failing means moving back home and maybe facing some backlash.

For founders without generational wealth, failure can often mean even worse poverty.

Diverse origins produce amazing talent, but some people don't have the chance to show it.

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@devbyak Thanks!

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@devbyak Eminem been real quiet since this dropped

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@edinsoncode I don't think there is one.

opencode go is close but the moment I ahve the oppostunity to go local sustainably... Yeah I'm cancelling

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@devbyak Yo no hablo francés. Se puede medio leer si sabes español. Igual el italiano lol.

Benditas lenguas romances

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

@devbyak Yaaaay!

[AJ @BuildWithAJ]

Every skill that is needed to code well with AI isn't AI native and I could probably get a competent but isolated dev up to speed in 2 afternoons.

[Vishal Singh @vishalsingh2972]

imagine being a software engineer in 2026 and your company treats using Claude Code or Codex like you're cheating at your job.

sounds crazy but apparently this is still how some big banks and traditional companies operate.

AI coding agents are getting ridiculously good, yet there are engineers spending their entire day writing boilerplate, debugging things manually and going back and forth on PR reviews.

meanwhile devs using Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and AI agents are building and shipping at a completely different pace.

but honestly, what worries me more is what happens to the people working in these environments.

you work 9 to 7, get home exhausted, and now you're somehow supposed to keep up with agentic coding, MCP, new AI tools and workflows that seem to change every other week.

how many people realistically have the energy for that?

and here's where it gets interesting.

imagine spending the next 2-3 years being a good engineer, following every company policy, getting solid performance reviews and doing everything you're supposed to.

then one day you're back looking for a job.

the market doesn't care that your company discouraged AI. you're still competing with developers who've spent those same years actually building with it.

and yeah, AI-generated code still needs testing, code reviews and proper engineering judgment. nobody's arguing against that.

but being careful with AI and making engineers afraid to use it are two very different things.

feels like we're watching two completely different types of developers emerge.

one group is figuring out how to build better software with AI.

the other is still trying to convince their company to let them use it.

and the weirdest part is that some of the engineers doing everything right at work might be the ones falling behind without even realizing it.

curious what you guys think about this? 👀
