AI agents are just hype. Focus on reliability. - Automation Tip #4
Reliable automations beat fancy AI agents, and I show how to build them by maximizing deterministic code and using LLMs only where real reasoning is required. Most people asking for an AI agent do not need one: LLMs…
Automation isn't an all-or-nothing process - Automation Tip #3
Automation isn't all-or-nothing: automating 80% of a task is far better than automating none of it. I argue that every task has routine, repetitive elements you can automate with traditional code, and you can use LLM…
Your automations suck because they lack granularity - Automation Tip #2
I get reliable, fast, cheap automations by describing the process at the most granular level possible before building anything. I show how my auto-editor started as tiny chained automations — audio normalization and…
You don't even know what you're automating - Automation Tip #1
I argue you should never automate a task until you’ve standardized it with written SOPs and done it manually at least once or twice, because if you can’t do it by hand you won’t be able to automate it reliably. I show…
Your customer reviews are marketing gold. Here's how to exploit them.
I show how to set up autonomous AI agents that read your customer reviews, support tickets and social media comments and turn them into short, actionable reports, so you never have to read hundreds of messages…
Yes, Gemini can code
Gemini is a far more capable coding model than its reputation suggests, and I make the case for using it on complex projects even though OpenAI and Anthropic lead the frontier. I point to a fully automated video editor…
800 million users, 1 database
OpenAI serves 800 million ChatGPT users off a single Postgres write instance, and the playbook their engineers built around it is the most useful scaling material I've read as a backend developer. I walk through every…
Auto captions with AI (for free!)
I show how to build a free auto-captioning pipeline that generates subtitles with faster-whisper and burns them into your videos with FFmpeg — no manual captioning, no paid services, no expensive LLMs. Captions make…

Grow on all platforms using AI
I show non-technical business owners and vibe coders how to automate posting to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn and other platforms for free using each platform’s API and an AI-generated setup. You copy my long…
Why OpenAI hacking HuggingFace is a sign of the end times
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol hacked Hugging Face during a cybersecurity benchmark—not because of a malicious prompt, but by finding a zero-day, escaping its sandbox, gaining internet access, escalating privileges, stealing…
Cut AI agent costs by 80%
Most businesses overspend on LLM tokens because they route every request to a frontier model, so I show how a model router cuts AI agent costs by up to 80%. I walk through a four-step build: sample at least 500 real…
How to actually automate your business with AI
I explain how to actually automate your business with AI by shifting from role-based thinking to workflow-based thinking: instead of trying to automate a whole job like social media manager or video editor, break it…
