You don’t need to become technical to use AI well at work.
I’m Sheikh, the builder behind Standout Hacks.
I test practical AI systems for real work - then share the useful lessons here.
Here’s what you can expect from me: 🧵
The choice isn't only between centralized and distributed power.
We also need clear rules, open competition, and people who can think for themselves.
Putting AI in more hands helps, but it doesn't automatically make the system fair.
AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down.
The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it.
Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the technology?
@jackmoses777 AI can give us endless answers, but it can’t choose what is worth caring about. That still comes from human judgment, values, and lived experience.
Most professionals don't have an AI tool problem.
They have a task-selection problem.
They keep collecting tools without deciding which real task should become easier.
Start with one repeated task.
One useful result beats 50 saved tutorials.
My belief is simple:
AI should help you do better work. It shouldn’t give you more tools and information to manage.
If you want to save time, build career value, and stand out at work, follow along.

Here’s what you can expect from me: 🧵
I’m not here to share every new AI tool or make unrealistic promises.
I’ll share:
Tools tested on real tasks
Systems that save time
What worked
What failed
What I learned while building my businesses and community
A pitch landed in my inbox:
“I made $30k in my sleep. Want my secret?”
I’ve bought that shortcut before.
I got recycled advice, a locked community, and an upsell on day three.
My filter now:
Do they show the work or sell the dream?
If it’s on my page, it worked for me first
My Watch Later folder had 30 tutorials.
Average length: 40 minutes.
Used in real work: zero.
Now I ask one question before pressing play:
“What will I do with this today?”
No answer, no play.
One skill applied today beats 30 tutorials saved for later.
Last Monday I wrote down 9 tasks.
By Friday, only 4 were finished.
Those 4 had one thing in common:
They had a time slot on my calendar.
The other 5 were sitting on a to-do list, waiting for me to “find time"
That’s the real difference:
A task without a time slot is a wish.
Happy New Year ✨
This year, don’t try to do everything.
Do the right few things better.
Small habits.
Clear thinking.
Better tools.
That’s how you stand out.
Cheers to 2026 🥂
Is every customer the “right” customer? We all know that the answer is technically “no”. But when we’re reviewing reports and forecasting revenue, sometimes we just want increased sales.
Actually, the problem isn’t too many customers – it’s that their vision is inconsistent.
