In july 2020 I sent this message in a whatsapp group:

"stop learning python. it's over."
"programmers are the factory workers of the 21st century"

everyone laughed. gpt-3 had just come out and could barely string a sentence together.

6 years later… we went from incoherent gibberish to whole working systems.

my own job has changed every few months. I skipped autocomplete entirely. went to claude code. then tab enter. then dangerously-skip-permissions. then voice. then 20 agents running in parallel talking to each other.

most people don't see it yet:
- people stop noticing AI improvements once the AI gets smarter than them
- baselines reset fast. what was magic last year is just a regular tuesday now
- you can't make someone understand something their paycheck depends on not understanding.

smart nerd jobs are where AI dominates. math, programming, data science, … anything with a dense feedback loop where you can check the answer quickly.

the actual edge is the messy stuff.. taste, judgement, sales, investing, negotiation, frontier science.

these domains have sparse reward signals. ground truth is disputed. the stakes are too high to yolo.

this is where the money pools. when intelligence gets cheap, everything that can't be copied gets expensive. land. energy. attention. trust. taste. the humans who can operate under genuine uncertainty. anything with a hard ceiling on supply.
the rest commoditises.

you say "but I'm a 10x engineer". you think progress just stops right here?

I stopped identifying as a programmer or ML engineer. I build a business now. and I spend more time on the stuff that makes us human.

it was never about the tools, the language, the framework. you overfitted on stuff that was always going to commoditise.

adaptability was always the whole game. that's what humans do. we just have a serious competitor now.

[Toomas B @toomasb]

@nico_jeannen yeah true. I've just started posting youtube shorts, I feel like that might still work, kinda

[Toomas B @toomasb]

@FlorinPop17 psyllium husk. thank me later 😘

I built an app for daredevils and adventurers 😈🏄‍♂️

Launching Do All The Things on ProductHunt today.

It's a searchable list of 7,000+ bucket list items

You can filter on difficulty, cost, location, etc.

Completely free, you don't even need an account

If you have a second to spare, show us some love 😘

@DmytroKrasun thanks Dmytro! good luck to you too, let's do this 💪

[Toomas B @toomasb]

@morganlinton and you really start to appreciate mornings so much more

[Toomas B @toomasb]

@dvassallo so conclusion is it doesn't matter as long as you start and you don't give up

[Toomas B @toomasb]

rewrote the entire pipeline for finding good images for each bucket list item for https://t.co/2oGChfuNyt

works really well now, fully automated!

tomorrow launching on @ProductHunt 🤩

[Toomas B @toomasb]

posted https://t.co/BpNDXueRrR on hackernews and it stayed on the show hn page all day

vibecoded some pretty cool new featurs all day

then checked and only 1 person clicked on it

but hopefully in the long run our programmatic seo starts working

I need to be careful not to get lost in feature creep again. only build stuff if genuinely useful

and always prioritise marketing and finding product market fit first

[Toomas B @toomasb]

little secret: being a successful founder is more about personal growth and fixing your own bullshit (trauma, anxieties, mental stuff) than anything else.

[Toomas B @toomasb]

@robj3d3 @levelsio @tdinh_me @marclou thanks Rob that means a lot coming from you!

[Toomas B @toomasb]

just quit my job

gonna live on savings

gonna figure out how to make money

1 year to successful startup

no more excuses

thanks @levelsio @robj3d3 @tdinh_me @marclou for the inspiration

[Toomas B @toomasb]

I'm changing how I think about building a startup

I really believe you should just provide as much value as possible for free

as quickly as possible

without building for months

that's how I'm building https://t.co/2oGChfuNyt now

[Toomas B @toomasb]

Finally gotten around to adding AI videos to ClipPanda.

The tech wasn't there yet but now it's getting pretty good.
