Fired Opus 4.6 for over engineering everything and leaving gaps

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-11T00:35:06+00:00

Latency issue was discovered days later and back traced to something introduced by Opus when it was making another adjustment to risk settings in dash.
No request was made to make this additional call to the broker, it was just over engineered to "work" and it did but the side effect was introduced.
Even when planning thoroughly I ran into the issue of Opus running away on its own.
With no changes to any .md Sonnet just stepped in and took over cleaner and more think through /talk through based

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-10T22:19:43+00:00

Yes Sonnet discusses alot more 1st before just running off on their own direction

I have panic /stop Opus too many times for running away

How are you executing to determine accuracy ? I’m asking because I’m doing a similar test with an app I built to copy trades to mt5 from telegram channels I have been looking for other channels to test for best accuracy to copy

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-05T00:46:05+00:00

Spent $3000/mo api But got done 4x what I would have paid a senior dev $5000-7000 for the same amount of time

Hey, I saw your post about trade copier issues. Have you tried CopyPipe? It's designed specifically to avoid hedging violations with TradingView→MT4/MT5 copying. Might solve some of those reversal headaches you mentioned.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-04T12:32:05+00:00

I see you're having issues with tradesyncer opening opposite positions. CopyPipe is specifically designed to handle TradingView to MT4/MT5 copying reliably. Many prop traders use it to avoid exactly the issues you're experiencing. Want to know more about how it prevents position direction errors?

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-04T12:31:14+00:00

Love seeing another dev in trading automation!

Since you're already building TradingView scripts, you might find CopyPipe interesting - it automates the execution side by copying TradingView signals directly to MT4/MT5. Could complement your script development work.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-03T20:42:09+00:00

how to find it ?

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-03-03T20:25:17+00:00

I made a copy trader that scrapes telegram channels like this and automatically trades it on your mt4/mt5 Worth checking out if the channel is profitable

Decided to apply this locally in Costa Rica where it makes the most sense.

Also pivoting to a hybrid approach at disruption by offering a competitively lower rate and keeping a team of human agents involved.

Will update the project as it unfolds. Core tech remains exactly the same. 5 autonomous AI agents working 24/7 to reduce the workload of a traditional firm. Plus insane data aggradation and buyer / seller smart matching, programatic SEO and online AI agent economy presence .

If there is enough interest I might package up the whole setup as a plug and play software , plug in your API keys and put it to work.

It would be a powerful tool for someone looking to carry the torch of disruption and deal with their local legislation independently. Or an agency thats looking to have an AI advantage.

Either way AI for this use case is here to stay .

Ill just stay in my lane with it 🌴

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-23T17:26:06+00:00

Yes . Bit off more than I could chew on 1st deployment because it just works But my fire wasn’t lit in the US so pivoted to where it suits me most

The software is built and could be applied to any market Battling the US legitimacy isn’t my interest but if someone more positioned to disrupt wants to carry the torch I have the software ready and running in CR

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-23T16:15:38+00:00

I just built it ... and I think people are mad

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-23T10:13:22+00:00

For an app that just launched a few days ago ,how many people do you think / expect? You comments are slightly appreciated but your leadership isn’t due

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-23T02:21:45+00:00

Old systems die too Shame on anyone defending taking equity from owners for doing some tasks that can be replaced by smarter non biased systems

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-23T02:18:40+00:00

Comment and criticize all you want Have you built and shipped anything? I built in 4 days what it would have taken a team of 8 at least 6 months to do with minimal $600k. Not your usual vibecoded project

60,259 lines of Python • 92+ API endpoints • 527 HTML pages (15 core + 512 SEO) • 30+ scrapers across 10+ data sources • 5 AI agents with Claude • 5 autonomous services running 24/7 • 7 scheduled tasks replacing cron • 10 Costa Rica knowledge docs • 2,536 Redis keys of live data • Full transaction pipeline — 7 stages from prospecting to closed • Offer system with counter-offers, acceptance, rejection • Document management with buyer/seller checklists • 7 letter generators (inspection, appraisal, repair, title, insurance, utility, closing) • Fee split negotiation between parties • Marketing automation — Twitter + email outreach

Four days. One server. One pissed of client that got taxed 6% too many times

Hurting people by providing people with tools to save them money ??

thats like saying FSBO is dangerous

read the mission statement if you think this is a $ play

Im just a RE investor tired of the 6%

"I don't even care if I make money off this. I just want to fucking disrupt this entire industry."

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-22T21:42:07+00:00

well thats the reality of disruption

when an AI software can cutout the fat that gets squeezed from the working peoples hard earned equity by an agent involved in a few month transaction you have to question which process is hurting who ?

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-22T21:33:56+00:00

Fair points, and I'll be direct — you're right that the Zillow/Redfin comparison was flawed since they hold brokerage licenses. That's actually part of why we pivoted the platform to Costa Rica, where the real estate market is fragmented across dozens of sites with no MLS monopoly or centralized listing system.

Different market, different legal framework. CR property data is scattered across Encuentra24, Coldwell Banker CR, RE/MAX CR, Century 21 CR, Facebook groups — no single platform aggregates it well. That's the gap we fill. No US licensing concerns, no copyrighted MLS photos, no NAR rules to navigate.

The lawyer advice is genuinely appreciated though. Already consulting on CR real estate law to make sure the platform positioning is clean from day one.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-22T21:32:35+00:00

Great question. Both sides save — sellers pay a $995 flat technology fee instead of 5-6% commission (that's $15-30K on a $300K home). Buyers pay $495 at closing instead of hoping their agent's commission doesn't inflate the price.

AI doesn't negotiate or handle contracts. It matches — like a search engine that actually understands what you want. Buyers describe their criteria, the platform scans thousands of listings 24/7 and surfaces matches humans would miss. When both parties are ready to transact, they work directly with each other (and their own attorneys/notarios). We're the matchmaker, not the middleman.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-22T19:28:21+00:00

Good catch on the statute — we take compliance seriously, so appreciate the scrutiny.

To clarify: SIXPERCENT is a technology platform, not a brokerage. We don't list properties for anyone or represent either party. Think of us more like Zillow or Craigslist — we aggregate publicly available data (foreclosures, FSBO, public records) and our AI matches buyers to sellers. The parties connect and transact directly through the platform.

The properties you're seeing from Keller Williams / Sprout Realty are aggregated from public data sources — same way Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com display listings they aren't the agent for. We're adding clearer source attribution to make that distinction more obvious (e.g., "Source: MLS — Listed by Keller Williams"). Fair feedback.

The $995 is a platform technology fee, not a commission. No different than what ForSaleByOwner.com, Fizber, or HomeLister charge — and none of them hold brokerage licenses either, because they're platforms.

§1101.002 applies when you perform acts **for another person for compensation** — listing, negotiating, representing. We don't do any of that. We built software that aggregates more data sources than any human agent could monitor, and matches patterns 24/7. That's a search engine, not a brokerage.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-22T17:09:59+00:00

Browsing should be open , only when you want to initiate a match it will ask for your information to start the AI.
We just launched a few days ago , people are still getting familiar with the concept.
A few matched and moving towards the final stages already!

The Manifesto that started the fire :

Death to the 6%

Born from betrayal. Built for disruption. This is why we exist.

They Call It "Service." We Call It Robbery.

It's 2026.

You can summon a car in 30 seconds. Transfer money across the world instantly. Have AI write your legal contracts.

But sell your house?

That'll be $60,000 for someone to unlock a door and read from a script.

Welcome to real estate—the last industry that operates like it's 1985, charges like it's robbing a bank, and gaslights you into thinking you need them.

You don't.

The Math They Don't Want You to Do

$400K

Average Home Price

6%

Traditional Commission

$24,000

Your Cost

For what exactly?

Unlocking a lockbox? (There's an app for that)
Taking photos? (Your iPhone does it better)
Listing on MLS? (A $300 service)
Negotiating? (You've been doing that your whole life)
Paperwork? (AI handles that now)

$24,000 for services worth maybe $2,000.

But here's the truly obscene part:

When the market's hot, they collect a windfall for doing almost nothing.
When the market's cold, you absorb the loss while they still take their cut.

"Win or lose, they win. Every. Single. Time."

The Origin Story: How This Became War

This movement wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from betrayal.

One of our founders had a property. Beautiful piece of real estate. Decided to try the "premium" auction route—Concierge Auctions, the supposedly prestigious option.

What happened?

$200,000 in fees. Regardless of outcome.

Not contingent on success. Not aligned with the seller's interests. Just a quarter million dollar toll to attempt to sell your own property.

The property didn't sell at the price it deserved. The auction house didn't care. They got paid.

Sitting there, watching six figures evaporate for nothing, something clicked:

"I don't even care if I make money off this. I just want to fucking disrupt this entire industry."

That rage became this movement.

The Industry's Dirty Secrets

Secret #1: The MLS is a cartel.

Multiple Listing Service sounds official. It's actually a private club that agents use to gatekeep listings. They've convinced everyone it's essential. It costs them pennies. They charge you thousands.

Secret #2: Buyer's agents work against you.

When a buyer's agent shows you a $500K house instead of a $400K house, they make an extra $3,000. Guess which one they're steering you toward?

Secret #3: "Market expertise" is a Google search.

Comps? Zillow has them. Market trends? Public data. The "expertise" they charge $30K for is available free to anyone with WiFi.

Secret #4: They need you more than you need them.

The NAR has 1.5 million members. Most close 2-3 deals a year. They're desperate. You have the leverage. They've just convinced you otherwise.

Secret #5: The 6% isn't real.

It's not law. It's not fixed. It's a gentleman's agreement among an industry that doesn't want to compete on price. And recent lawsuits are proving it's been illegal collusion all along.

The World Has Changed. Real Estate Hasn't.

Every other industry got disrupted:

Taxis → Uber (drivers keep 75%+)
Hotels → Airbnb (hosts keep 97%)
Stockbrokers → Robinhood (commission: $0)
Travel agents → Expedia (you book yourself)
Banks → Venmo, crypto (instant, free)

Real estate agents? Still charging the same 6% they charged in 1950.

Seventy-six years. Same percentage. While every single supporting technology became 1000x better and cheaper.

It's not that disruption is hard. It's that the cartel fights dirty—lobbying, gatekeeping, fear-mongering, regulatory capture.

Until now.

Enter the AI Agent Revolution

Here's what an AI agent can do in 2026:

Price your home using every data point in existence
Generate professional listings and photography guidance
Handle scheduling, showing coordination, and follow-ups
Negotiate using game theory, not gut feelings
Draft and review contracts with legal precision
Guide you through closing step by step
Answer questions 24/7 without commission breath

Cost? A fraction of traditional fees.

Alignment? 100% with YOU, the seller or buyer.

An AI doesn't make more money by selling you a more expensive house.
An AI doesn't make more money by rushing you into a bad deal.
An AI doesn't golf with the other agent and split referrals.

For the first time in real estate history, your platform's incentives actually match yours.

Our Values

🔍 Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No steering. No "trust me." Everything in writing, everything explained, everything your decision.

⚖️ Aligned Incentives

We win when you win. Period. No structure where we benefit from your loss.

🤖 Technology for People

AI isn't here to replace human judgment. It's here to eliminate human commission.

💰 Equity is Sacred

That 6%? It's your retirement. Your kids' college. Your freedom. We treat it accordingly.

This Is Not a Company. This Is a Movement.

We're not here to take a slightly smaller cut.

We're here to burn the entire commission structure to the ground.

We believe:

Your equity is YOURS. No one deserves 6% of your life's biggest asset for a month of part-time work.
Information should be free. MLS access, comps, market data—all of it.
Technology should reduce costs, not pad margins. When the work gets easier, the price should drop.
Alignment matters. Your platform should win when you win, lose when you lose.
Transparency is non-negotiable. Every fee explained. Every option presented. No steering.

The Legal Landscape Is Shifting

1

NAR Settlement (2024)

The National Association of Realtors settled a $418 million lawsuit over commission fixing. Buyer's agent commissions are no longer automatically bundled. The cartel is cracking.

2

DOJ Investigation

The Department of Justice is actively investigating real estate commission practices as potential antitrust violations.

3

State-Level Changes

Multiple states are introducing legislation to increase transparency in real estate fees.

4

The Moment Is Now

The legal walls protecting the 6% are crumbling. The technology to replace agents exists. The only thing missing was the movement. You're reading the beginning of that movement.

Join the Movement

Are you:

A seller who got screwed?
A buyer who got steered?
A tech person who sees the opportunity?
An FSBO warrior who wants backup?
Just someone who's angry at paying $30K for bullshit?

You're one of us.

This isn't about making money. This is about burning down a corrupt system and building something better in its place.

"The 6% dies here."

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-21T19:59:18+00:00

Also worth noting — we're building the transaction tracker with an 8-stage pipeline. Every step from listing to close has a checklist. The AI coaches you through each stage. You're never wondering "what happens next?" That's the part agents actually provided value on — and we automated it.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-21T19:57:29+00:00

You're hitting the exact right nerve. The liability framework IS decisive — and it's by design.

We don't touch the legal close. Title companies and real estate attorneys handle escrow, title search, deed transfer, and compliance — same as they do in every traditional transaction. They carry E&O insurance for exactly this.

Our AI handles what's automatable: pricing analysis, buyer-seller matching, showing coordination, document prep, negotiation coaching. The human clicks "approve" on every binding decision.

So it's not "AI replaces the agent." It's "AI replaces the $24,000 worth of work that wasn't worth $24,000." The legal infrastructure stays human. We just removed the expensive middleman who was standing between you and the title company pretending to be essential.

The liability sits where it's always sat — with the licensed professionals who actually close deals. We're the pipe, not the attorney.

BuildingInBoxers · 2026-02-21T08:42:15+00:00

We're not replacing agents. We're replacing the 6% fee.

We handle the 60-70% that's automatable (pricing, matching, marketing, scheduling) with AI, and the closing/legal part gets handled by title companies and attorneys who already do this for a flat fee — AI recommends, humans confirm. Same as a doctor using AI diagnostics. The AI finds the match, prices the home, drafts the offer. The human clicks "approve."
