James Bullis | Personal Strategist

Personal strategist helping experts recognize their authority, know where they stand, and decide what to do next. Be the Advantage.

[James Bullis | Personal Strategist @authorityinside]

Some people don’t need more talent.

They need the right room.

You can be genuinely good at what you do and still be positioned where your value is not fully seen.

Same person. Same ability. Different context.

That is where authority starts to matter.

Be the Advantage.

@Gavel_on_X Judgement. Intelligence does not mean good decision making.

@Demeter_Erinia CD-R or CD-RW?

@bechemtheghost1 @coryalthoff They have us so busy trying to interpret what the output actually says that we can't even tell it's hallucinating any more.

@tonydbaker The old way is now the new way. At least we have CSS. ;)

Remember the CAN-SPAM Act? Whoever is teaching this stupid outreach tactic obviously doesn't know. I'm going to start going after these for $53,088 per email.

WP rocket did badly here. But the official @wordpress account needs to stop shitting on individual parts of its ecosystem.

Terrible look, and deeply unprofessional behavior.

A system earns trust one remembered correction at a time.

@claudedevs Adding MCPs to desktop is confusing. If I make a single mistake in the config, it kills the whole config and I have to rebuild it. Also, I have to work around the desktop preferences. I don't know why this can't be a managed interface.

@DioceseofTulsa Really enjoyed the procession coming by the house. I recorded most of it although it was dark. Very beautiful and moving.

@hadesdevs @cursor_ai When the opportunity is staring you in the face. Business is a full contact sport.

[Cursor @cursor_ai]

Origin, our code hosting platform, is now live.

It's fast, easy to use, and deeply integrated with Cursor.

Get started by syncing your repos from GitHub.
