So, today while launching my Etsy shop to promote Clipart Theme Packs (the name of my shop) that I generate and bundle via my web app https://t.co/L8HQupSQH9 I stumbled upon a very serious issue that could put my newly launched shop at risk of being shut down.

@michael_chomsky Nice. List all those of the agents that got there

@thejustinwelsh 100% to this, although as a New Yorker we start off like this 😂, people get offended when you leave the city.

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

Yep. Solopreneurs should be analyzing this, the big players are not profitable. Go hard on a critical workflow and either price subscriptions high or sell credit packs.

If big companies can't make a net return on their LLM token costs, that doesn't mean it's impossible to. In fact this is exactly what you'd expect to happen with a new technology. Incumbents can't use it well, and are replaced by upstarts who can.

Millennial boomers aren't having fun because they can't obsess over syntax anymore.

Gen Z Architects, this is your time.

@vanschneider Never understood all of this "lets code guys, so much fun, no money just want to write divs and functions.. yay"

I'm more of a lets hurry up and do this coding grunt work and see it in the wild kind of dev

This is literally how I'm building Esy today

For most, Cursor via the Agents view is all one needs to do serious agentic engineering. Swap between various models, talk to your agent, review PR's right in the window. Zero need for Codex or Claude Code dedicated editors.

All of the hackers running 24 terminals aren't even building anything people use Lol, just Tokenmaxing and pretending. Don't follow these guys or better, find out what they're building before you do

@darth_chromex @adcock_brett @mandm3130 Why should he want to be Elon, he's his own man. Who are you though? That's what should matter most to you, but here you are worried about two other men because you haven't built anything to be proud of, just a clown suit wearing spectator.

@pmitu helping a man see the potential of a thing is not a lie 🫵

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

The cost of starting a company used to be $5 million. Then $500,000. Then $50,000. Now it is closer to $500. The only expensive thing left is your unwillingness/fear to begin.

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

@Rasmic yeah, it really is

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

@Kimcurrier @akothari @NotionHQ @ivan seems like money was indeed the answer

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

@SneakAwayMedia @Variety Your right. Lets do one thing only for 10,000 years. Which year is a good one film makers to evolve?

@mcuban Start your AI business solving problems for small businesses*

@ryancarson 50+ easy

Sam Altman walked back his AI job apocalypse prediction. What changed? Real-world deployments showed augmentation, not replacement. Humans plus AI is the winning formula.

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

Look at the comments. This is why guys say fuck it just start selling get rich quick ebooks. The masses have bought “get rich quick” in every generation. They’ll buy the AI package, then the Space package too. So always keep “get rich quick” courses in your Plan B and don’t worry: experience not applicable.

Probably last monthly revenue update I'm posting

Numbers are getting ridiculous lol

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

@andrewxroas fantastic, “trust me bro”, right?

[Zev Uhuru | Esy @ESYdotcom]

@gregisenberg @startupideaspod very on most of these especially prompt engineering that was always a joke. workflows are where its at which is essentially designing circuits for propagating intelligence
