Realization of the day:

I’m not actually driven by money. I want comfort and to provide for my family, but I don’t care about Ferraris or flexing.

What I’m really chasing is status through trust. Being widely known, being respected, having access to other respected people I can directly exchange value and collaborate with.

Over complicating your processes will be the death of your business.

@davebloomdev @WordPress @photomatt gotta hire this guy already

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

Been. Saying. This.

Improve your ability to orchestrate.

i have seen enough proof now that using a coding agent is a deep skill

it's confusing because the people you see heavily using them produce horrible results

but that's because it's a skill! you can get better and the ceiling seems pretty high - this is very exciting to me

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

@iamalifawad Just talk to it 😎

But yea I should really put together an actual list of steps

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

Building websites via AI orchestration is so much fun.

You should really try it sometime.

@MarcoAlmeidaPT @craylor Incredible landing page 🤣🤣

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

My 16-day-old son has his own domain name and a Gmail address. Pretty cool.

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

Manual development for the sake of developing in the age of AI is the easiest way to go out of business.

I'm not saying you should vibe code everything.

I'm saying the old way of doing things is not the best way anymore.

I'm seeing this in actual businesses and agencies now, first hand. Scary stuff.

@toderash Thank you Brent!!

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

@DataJuggler007 Yeah he's probably not gonna be emailing you so I'll save the cash for now

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

Had someone tell me they copied my website recently.

I'm so honored ❤️

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

@urdigle Obviously an exaggeration but not far from the truth given how much better I enjoy it now

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

At this point...

I would rather unalive myself than click around a UI to build a website.

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

@urdigle Not sure what you mean

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

Another incredible random AI feat.

I, like many people, have a ridiculous amount of shit on my main PCs desktop.

I wanted to access it from my laptop when I'm away from my desk but I didn't want to go through the process of backing up 400 GB of files right now. I needed it quickly.

I already had Tailscale set up for my Hermes setup so I was able to very easily, with like two clicks, (actually Claude did all the work for me) expose it as a network drive on my laptop.

@alanefuller Fair, but they have $$$

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

TIL: Large companies DO NOT have everything figured out.

I always assumed they did simply because they figured out how to scale.

In reality, they have problems that small shops or freelancers could solve for serious $$$

[Mark Szymanski @MarkJSzymanski]

@RobbyMcCullough @joyofwp Appreciate it, Robby! And yea absolutely 💪💪
