If this is happening to you, you're doing it wrong. This is like saying that your hammer is bad at screwing in screws. But why does this "nothing is really happening" happen? A few reasons. 1. The difficult part is now getting users, sales and marketing. The difficult part used to be the building but now that that's the easy part, products and features are easy to produce so we feel like we're accomplishing something. And we are. Sort of. Because, of course, products and features are for people, and that getting people is the hard part. And once you've built 50 things with no one using it, you feel like "nothing is really happening". 2. Tech/AI is a walled in castle, a self-contained ecosystem where many people are building very similar, slight permutations and improvements on each others products. The feeling of "something is actually happening" with ai most acutely felt when either real problems are being solved or you move out of tech and apply ai to the 99% of business that aren't tech: schools, brick and morter, small to midsize manufacturing, etc. When you use ai to solve problems outside the insular world of tech, you feel the literal opposite of "nothing is really happening".

Absolutely. And the cure for this is restraint. Slow down, don't go as fast as you can. Slow down by 20%, consider the system, the tools, the context. Have a learning session. Consider alternatives. Trust your human gut.

As a Dad, hats off to you kind sir.

Labs can of course benchmaxx. But that's just as bad as trashing models without evidence. At least benchmaxxing is actually improving the model.

I'm still long Google.

Claude is amazing at coding. Claude is terrible for writing. Most of my job is - Being amazed at Claude coding - Fixing Claude writing Tip: Use Google models for writing and reference writing you like or writing manuals like Strunk and White's Elements of Style.

I was just about post that there should be a @StackOverflow for agents...and there already is. agents.stackoverflow.com/

Honestly so sad. Stack Overflow was a beautiful place. RIP.

Mike is the only one of you jokers touching grass and tokenmaxxing at the same time.

I assure you, you don't need advice from the medium distribution of all the text on the internet. Call your Dad.
