There are two ways to win in life: - Chase your obsession to the point of insanity - Be delusionally optimistic

One thing AI has really done for me is give me someone to think with whenever I’m designing an enterprise solution. The days of brainstorming back and forth have been reduced significantly. As a Cloud Solution Architect, I can now bring two possible approaches to the table and discuss which one will save the organization more money, work better with our existing tools, and make sense for our overall architecture. AI doesn’t decide for me. It gives me a thinking partner to challenge my assumptions, explore trade-offs, and help me think through the architecture before I make the final call.

It's based on a real implementation, including the mistakes you'll likely encounter and the exact fixes that get everything working.

Building with AI has exposed the fact that coming up with original ideas is very hard. Every rendition of a product built with AI so far is a makeover of what already exists. There's still a huge idea moat to be explored even if the barrier to entry is probably 0.

I regret to inform you that a lot of problems in life are solved by waking up early and working out.

I regret to inform you that nobody cares about your potential. Potential is nothing without execution. When you're young, everyone cares about your potential. You get used to focusing on it. But as you get older, no one cares about your potential. Just your delivery against it.

Your job is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary. Don’t box yourself into roles. Don’t identify with your job. Nobody cares if you’re a software/ai/cloud/anything engineer, your knowledge might be obsolete in a few months and you could get laid off next year, who knows. Build multiple income sources. Skill up. Try to escape the rat race. Play the system. Cheat. Commit fraud. Lie on your resume. Whatever. You’re not winning this game by staying a good, obedient employee.
20-year devs can't find work anymore
