Who I Really Am:

A Story About Seeing What Others Miss

For 15 years, I lived in the trenches of enterprise IT infrastructure. Server migrations, network troubleshooting, Microsoft environments that break in creative ways.

I became the guy companies called when their systems failed and nobody knew why.

Then I made an unexpected move:

I became a salesperson.

Not because I loved sales, but because I wanted to understand the other side.

What do IT managers actually struggle with when the phone isn’t ringing with emergencies?

Over 5 months, I had conversations with 600+ IT managers across companies ranging from 100 to 600+ employees.

What I discovered changed everything.

The pattern was everywhere: IT managers drowning in vendor calls, users frustrated with enterprise tools designed for efficiency rather than usability, and a massive gap between what software companies build and what people actually need to get work done.

Most revealing insight: A seasoned IT manager told me, “If I had a magic wand, I’d make all the dumb users disappear.”

That’s when it clicked.
The problem isn’t dumb users. The problem is smart enterprise software that makes normal people feel dumb.

Then my best friend started a powder factory.

He needed simple inventory management - nothing fancy, just track stock levels.

We searched everywhere.

Nothing existed that did just that.

Everything was bloated with features he didn’t need.
So I built it myself using AI tools. It works. It’s in production. It solves exactly one problem perfectly.
That’s when I realized what I actually am:

I’m not transitioning from IT to development. I’m completing my arsenal.
•15 years of systems knowledge = I understand why things break
•600+ customer conversations = I know what people actually need
•Technical building capability = I can create solutions that don’t exist

I’ve accidentally built the rarest combination in tech: domain expertise + market validation + technical execution.

Most developers learn to code and then wonder what to build.
Most domain experts know what to build but can’t code.
I’m in the sweet spot between both worlds.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
Your career path isn’t random. It’s market research in disguise.

Every job, every conversation, every frustration is data about problems that need solving.

The opportunities are hiding in plain sight. You just need to know how to see them.

Now I’m systematically turning 15 years of “random” experience into applications that solve problems I’ve personally validated.

This isn’t about learning to code.

This is about printing money from problems I already know exist.

Welcome to my journey of bridging domains that shouldn’t be separated in the first place.

Just bought an Apple Watch Ultra 3, my first finally

What should I do first?

@David_mduw I’ve got a new homepage

You think can help a brother out with a new website that’s for belgian flemish people?

@IMJustinBrooke @mindstudioai Try Codex app

Really >> give it a try Justin

I am saying this from 15 years being in the IT field

It’s beyond crazy what that can accomplish

@georgepickett @gdb 💪😎

✅ Codex isn’t just for writing code. It just rescued my storage.

My 1TB Mac was 80% full.
180 GB reclaimable. One prompt.
macOS couldn’t even tell me what “System Data” was.

Codex broke it all down:
• duplicate AI models
• rebuildable caches
• app media I forgot existed

For the actual cleanup, I use 🐹 Mole, a CLI tool that cleans, uninstalls, and optimizes your Mac from the terminal.

@sebastianvolkis @OpenAI I have also discovered last weeks that I can use Codex app to browse in a Skool community where I am a member so it can read everything over there and put it in the repo on GitHub

[Christophe @Powercommitment]

@sebastianvolkis @OpenAI What was the trigger for you Sebastian doing / setting this up with Skool?

I mean you probably thought : hey let me use a blank new skool community and go from there?

these prompts turn ai into a personal strategist 😎💪

[klöss @kloss_xyz]

The 17 most valuable prompts you can ask ChatGPT, Claude, OpenClaw, and Hermes:

1. What patterns exist across all my ideas, projects, goals, and convos that I’m not consciously seeing?

2. Can you present to me a comprehensive list of all skills I’ve entertained, demonstrated, explored, discussed, or partially developed across all chats, sessions, and memory?

3. Which of my ideas, skills, or projects has the best chance of becoming highly profitable?

4. What high leverage opportunities are hidden inside my unfinished and/or abandoned ideas?

5. Based on all of our conversations, what themes or problems do I return to obsessively?

6. What are my strongest asymmetric advantages compared to most people?

7. What weaknesses or blind spots consistently show up in my thinking or execution?

8. If you mapped the full body of my work, what core themes connect everything together?

9. Which of my current projects is most realistically positioned to succeed right now, and why?

10. What parts of my workflows, behavior, or decision making should probably be automated?

11. What skillsets do I appear to grasp unusually quick compared to most people?

12. What kind of company, product, or role am I unintentionally training myself for?

13. What contradictions exist between my stated goals and my actual behavior patterns over time?

14. If an elite strategist studied all of my chat sessions with you, what strengths, weaknesses, and behavioral patterns would they identify first?

15. What am I overcomplicating across my projects, systems, or decision making? Be incredibly specific.

16. Based on everything you know about me, where am I most likely wasting time, energy, or leverage?

17. What am I uniquely equipped to compound in over the next few years that most people around me are not, and what should I specifically focus on?
