Thank you 7 thousand times!

My efficiency went up drastically ever since I started trusting Claude will do a good job.

Claude Opus 5.5 is far better developer than I ever was and than I will ever be. No point in competing, just surrendering and transforming my work into everything that is not engineering anymore.

Most significant boost for my family and my company is super simple: Just move to the US. 🇺🇸 Texas or Florida 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good thing AI brought to the software agencies: Before we did only one stack so people can cover each other easier. Like you wouldn’t write C# for a client if only one person in the company mastered it. It was too risky. Now with AI who cares… We wrote a couple of apps in node or rust just because we can. Stack doesn’t even matter anymore, or least nowhere near it used to. This is a good thing because I can have multiple languages and frameworks without ruining my agency or being reliant on one key person.

For the first time in my life I can feel the time running out and I have an urge to work as much as I can, not to miss this wave.

We're building what I'd call a small software factory. It's not the lights out kind, where you throw in an idea and an app comes out. It's a loop with people at both ends. A person writes a ticket in our tracker, with what done means. An agent picks it up, writes the code, runs the tests, opens a PR and moves the ticket to testing. A person tests it and closes it. The factory is only as good as what goes in and who checks what comes out. The middle is mostly solved. The ends are where all our attention goes now. Week one was messy though, I am not going to lie, but I can see this thing working in about a week or two without any major hiccups and our day to day work getting totally transformed. It is a bit scary, but I cherish the fact we can now focus more on building and thinking deeply about the great products instead of pumping out the code all day long while the keyboard is burning.

I don't use cursor anymore, how about you?

I got million impressions yesterday. Literally million. Verified? 70.000. 70k. 0.07 million. 7% of the people were verified. This place is a cesspool of bots.

A lot of debate recently if AI is the vitamin or a painkiller. For me, neither. It’s life changing hard drugs.

Every big deploy ends the same way. Someone has to tell the client what changed, which means scrolling through weeks of PRs, guessing which ones they care about and translating "refactor billing service" into something a normal person can read. So we added a /changelog skill to our internal AI stack. You give it a starting point (a tag, a commit or a date) and the branches to read. It goes through every merged PR in that range and writes two versions. The client version has a short summary plus what is new, improved and fixed, in plain sentences. The internal version lists every change with its PR, plus the things the deploy actually needs: migrations, env changes and breaking changes. The part I care about most is that it can't make things up. It won't write "faster" unless the PR has a number behind it and anything it can't place it asks about before writing. Each file also records where it ended, so the next deploy starts from there.

I once did a class in PHP for the whole semester back in college days of 2013. Language looked awful and I preferred writing C++ and Java and JavaScript over that PHP abomination of a syntax. Never written another line of it after that semester. Today is one of those days when I am happy with my superficial decision making.

The amount of people who didn't get the joke and started answering this while passionately explaining how stupid this post is, is quite concerning.

AI must alleviate you of doing the “need to do” work and put you in a position of “want to do” the work and products and workflows that achieve this psychological twist in your brain are the next billion dollar ideas.

Now tell me realistically why this couldn’t work.

An agent does exactly what the ticket and docs say and that sounds great until you read your own tickets. - improve the onboarding - update all the documentation - make reporting better A person would come back with questions. An agent comes back with 10 changed files unless you implement something like a /grill-me in the loop. So the ticket/docs are now the most important artifacts in the project. It's where the product decisions live. A good ticket says who it's for, what changes, what done looks like and how we'll check. Code quality used to depend on who wrote the code. Now it mostly depends on who wrote the ticket.

I’ve always wanted to make my mark on the world by inventing some super sleek programming language. Now that I can actually do it, I lost any interest because there’s literally no point in doing that anymore.

My hypothesis, after months of building with agents every day. Software work has three parts. Deciding what to build. Building it. Checking that it works. For decades the middle part was the expensive one, so we organized everything around it. Job titles, team sizes, estimates, how agencies charge. Agents are collapsing the middle. The two ends aren't getting cheaper at all. If anything they matter more, because a bad decision now gets built in an afternoon. So the valuable person is whoever owns the ends. I call that person a product builder.
