A few months ago I didn't know what a terminal was.
Last month my rental car platform did just under $4k in MRR.
I built it after the wife and kid went to sleep mostly from 9 to 11pm or in spare time while COO of a marketing agency doing $350k a month.
Claude code + GPT + T3 Code is the ultimate equalizer.
All you have to do is put in the time. Literally anyone can build a business with these tools. And its not a lot of time either.
Find ways to pull from open source projects or tools on Github.
Be strategic in who you follow on @x and YouTube.
I'm looking forward to telling my story over the past ~ 1100 PR's and how I started from nothing.
We're only just getting started.
What made you make the jump and start getting into this crazy AI space? What are you building?
Drop a link and lets #Connect
art and characters can stay hand drawn, keep full creative control there
but the actual game? the systems, the code, all of it.. no studio can out hire ai on that anymore
unlimited money, best devs in the world, millions a month. still loses
its not even close and the curve is only getting steeper
Being upset that any sw - game, app, a website etc - uses AI for development will soon be as sensible as being upset that any of these things use a compiler to produce code.
Majority of software produced today is already with AI.
Last major non-AI-assisted game will be GTA VI
Open weight models are falling further behind google and OpenAi.
Open AI and Google are falling further behind Anthropic.
GPT's next model release is the most impactful one for them to date.
I keep finding myself going to GPT less and less. Image gen? maybe once a day?
Claude Computer use closed the gap GPT had. The odd Astra code review?
I genuinely want to know what and why is anyone reaching for GPT over Opus/Fable??
They dont just have the best model. They have the second best as well..
I've got a client who i gave my phone number.
He's the best power user of my software and it's not even close.
He messages me every other day with an idea, a slight ui tweak, or some feature request.
The closer a founder can be to its TOP users in a SAAS is an absolute game changer.
Screen shot the whatsapp conversation > right to opus 5.5 customer support agent in T3 code, feature request to live in prod in under 30min every time.
User feedback > self improvem loops are incredibly easy right now.
Find your top power users, roll out the red carpet, give them reason to give you feedback. They will feel like they have a team working for them and never leave.
You will get the best possible feedback to keep things improving.
grok bot is the BEST AI agent orchestrator right now
and THIS is the best setup i’ve EVER seen
https://t.co/NjkQuOVZag
it runs claude code for engineering and paper for design
here is the FULL setup and how to copy it:
@larsencc @ all og devs everywhere. We get it your mad your skill set was replaced. But your not special anymore. You are still needed for now but not sure how long that will last
@chriscompiles Tough to fully shut off and be with the family, but also spend more time with them just on the phone over up in the office.
Pros and Cons for sure
@lennysan Who would hire a pure engineer anymore? I'm head hunting an operator who has used these coding tools and skills over the past year all day over a traditional developer.
