This comes from my experience when I started out as a web developer trying to get clients. I always used to just say that I make websites and ask whether they wanted one or not. But from my experience, I think the reason why this is a bad idea is that potential clients or leads, better said, first have to process what kind of solutions or features might be possible on a website to ease or facilitate their business. They might not have much knowledge about what a website or web application can do, especially when they are in their senior years.

Most of the time, I start off by greeting them, but only locally. So I always go to my local leads around my local area, and I ask them how they are doing, how their work is going, how, whether it is difficult, what problems they have, or whether there are things that might be improved. And Based on their answers, I always tell them the solutions that I can provide, and in the end, I always end up with saying something like "by making a website or a web application".

So I think, from my experience, and maybe most of the users here might agree with me as well, it is better to start off with solutions, and at the end, you explain that this can be done by making a website or web application. An extra tip that I can give is that you can always tell them that if they want more information, both of you can meet up in a coffee shop or somewhere similar, and you can pay for them. It will just be a business expense, and it is actually a good gesture. It is also something that can make your potential client more likely to become your client.

Time Is the Most Valuable Asset, Not Money. But why? Because time is a resource that can never be regained, while money can always be earned back. When you understand this, it becomes clear that using your time wisely is crucial to achieving long-term success.
For instance, while money can help reduce taxes or be reinvested in your business to generate greater profits over time, time, once lost, is gone forever. In an ideal world, the more money you invest wisely, the more profit you generate over the medium or long term. That is the essence of a successful strategy.

Another key to business success is trust. Finding a trustworthy and independent person to collaborate with is essential, as trust forms the foundation of any strong business relationship. When trust is established, everything else tends to fall into place naturally. Unfortunately, many people today struggle to trust others. They attempt to save money by doing tasks themselves like developing their own website without having the necessary skills in web development or design. This approach often backfires, as they end up spending far more time than a professional would, only to produce subpar results. Creating a website on your own might seem like a cost-saving measure, but the lack of expertise can lead to a low-performing product. Worse, the time spent on this task is time that could have been used to grow your business. This is a classic example of wasting precious time for minimal returns.

Hiring a skilled freelance web developer is a smarter investment. Professionals can create a high-quality website in a fraction of the time it would take an amateur. This frees you up to focus on what you do best, expanding your business and generating profit. Time is far more valuable than money. When you try to handle everything yourself, you waste valuable hours that could have been spent on core business activities. Instead, by allocating a portion of your profits to hire an expert, you gain both a superior product and more time to focus on what matters most. Trust plays a vital role in this process. A reliable developer or service provider ensures consistent quality and can be counted on for future support, whether it’s website updates, social media management, or SEO. This kind of relationship-building fosters long-term success and allows you to concentrate on growing your business.

When business owners invest time in areas they don’t fully understand, like web development they often end up reaching out to professionals later to fix issues. This creates unnecessary struggles and expenses. Attempting to save money by tackling something outside your expertise often results in wasted time and resources. Remember, money is far less important than time. A professional developer not only delivers better results but also allows you to reinvest your time and energy into your business. And the cost of hiring professionals can reduce your taxes, providing financial benefits in the long run.

Ask yourself: would you rather invest money to expand your business and increase profits over time, or waste both time and money on avoidable mistakes and unnecessary taxes? The choice is clear for smart business owners, they prioritize their time and focus on what truly matters.
By hiring a trusted freelance web developer from the start, you save time, reduce stress, and establish a reliable partnership for future needs. Whether it’s troubleshooting, website expansion, or ongoing business growth, investing in expertise upfront is always the better choice.

The moral is simple: trust is the foundation of successful business relationships. Investing in experts saves time, delivers superior results, and ensures long-term benefits for your business. Time is your most valuable asset, use it wisely by working with professionals who can help you achieve your goals.

So, we know that GPT 5.5 sucks at frontend design. But I would still want to use one Codex subscription without combining with others. I wonder if there is a skill or plugin in Codex Desktop I can use to compensate for that. Does anyone know?

Here is my CLAUDE.md contents. Enjoy:

# Rules & Guidelines

- **Rules**: Don't start dev servers. Make use of Context7 MCP (if there is one available) when you think it is necessary (for example when making code changes related to Supabase). But make sure to use the correct version of certain techs e.g. Supabase based on the specific project you are currently in if you are considering using the Context7 MCP.
- **UX/UI**: As an expert in UX/UI, apply UX and UI best practices in all responses. Also, if necessary, try to criticize my approach in anything related UX and UI if you think my approach of handling things can be solved better or implemented better for a better UX and UI.
- **Mobile responsiveness**: Always make sure to apply mobile responsiveness so the app looks great in all devices.
- For everything you have done/fixed, give a short summary easily explaining what you have done
to implement/fix something. Also tell a short summary of what is expected from the user's side.
- Never commit/push code or use git whatsoever. The user will handle that themselves or tells you explicitely to do it.
- When making a plan, try to not make it sound difficult and make it shorter than normal.
- Make sure you also put nice formatted code blocks above functions or methods or so explaining what it does in simple terms.
- For feature implementations, always come up with potential problems/concerns that might be possible in the future based on the current project and try to overcome those as well. And also make sure before the implementation you have in mind, to realize if that will cause problems depending on other code that it is dependent upon or that might break based on the rest of the code in terms of the implementation.
- Make sure to make a md file called MASTER_DOC.md in the project root in case there is not. It is a project based document with a summary how this project is built, its architecture, features, gotcha's, flow of certain features in chronological order and more. You need to make sure for every code change that we do in terms of features, etc., you include it in this MASTER_DOC.md summarized and also in a certain place in the doc where it fits. Make sure you use good MD formatting like title, subtitles, bulletpoints whenever you see fit. If there are discrepancies you notice, then always let me know so we can decide what we can do with it/those. At last, you need to make sure that the docs are well readable by a developer from any level/seniority and so it can always be reused by an AI model to get the best knowledge of a project. Also, make sure that the doc md file is always updated. For example, when certain features in the app is changed, you need to make sure that the mention about this feature in the doc file is also updated based on the changes. This doc file is a living document.
- When writing content, make sure you write as a human would and make sure you do not use terms or words that screams "It is AI written". For example do not use the long dash — (em dash U+2014) and the medium dash – (en dash U+2013). Do not use terms like "Furthermore", "Additionally", etc.
- Think before coding: Do not assume. Do not hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs. If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted. If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.
- Simplicity first: Thrive for generating minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative. If you write 200 lines of code and it could be 50, rewrite it. Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, simplify.
- Only touch what you must. Clean up only your own mess. Do not refactor things that are not broken. If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it - do not delete it.
- Put comments on top of the lines in every file what the purpose of the file is and also put comment in every method/functions explaining what it does. Make the format of comments you put have the same format and styling as PHPBlocks.
- If there is a folder called docs or doc in the root of the project, make sure to make necessary changes in one or many docs (most likely they are going to be MD files) in the folder depending on the name of the file and/or the contents of the file.
- In terms of existing frontend application: Do not redesign the page from scratch. Before coding:
- Inspect the existing components, layouts, spacing, Tailwind classes, shadcn/ui usage, naming patterns, and page structure.
- Reuse existing components where possible unless I tell explicitely otherwise.
- Match the current visual style exactly unless I tell explicitely otherwise.
- Do not introduce a new design system unless I tell explicitely otherwise.
- Do not create duplicate components if a similar one already exists unless I tell explicitely otherwise.
- Keep changes minimal and consistent with the existing UI unless I tell explicitely otherwise.
- Add loading, empty, and error states consistent with the current app unless I tell explicitely otherwise.

I think I will be using Codex Desktop for a very while... No Claude Code/Desktop or OpenCode with GLM, etc. just one app to rule them all with GPT 5.5

GPT 5.5 has already proven itself to be extremely well in coding especially in backend. One caveat is mediocre frontend.
