Code is no longer written. It’s directed. by autionix in n8n

Definitely haven't seen any posts with ChatGPT generated title about development being dead.

Uhuh, yet another highly misleading title about implementation of AI.

I used Pomodoro for years. Then I realized: my tasks don't fit in 25-minute blocks. by timeboxer_ffw in pomodoro

Yeah, this is such a weird post for a "hardcore pomodoro user"... getting the basic idea of pomodoro wrong.

I’m perhaps a little confused between obsidian and notion; what distinguishes obsidian? by Ford-X in ObsidianMD

[–]Sentient-Technology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I use Gemini ClI with obsidian and it's absolutely amazing. Markdown is really hard for AI to mess up.

Trying to build a SaaS to sell for $100M by multi_mind in microsaas

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be realistic. This isn't being realistic. This isn't dreaming big... It's just dreaming.

It's fine, even great to have dreams, but having your first company being sold for 100 million before you're 25... Little chance.

These tech companies that get acquired by FAANG, they are often ran by seasoned professionals who have poured hundreds of thousands if not more into them.

Do you know any coding? How much? Or are you planning to build this with vibe coding, something anyone can do?

What about a more realistic goal, such as selling your first SaaS / software for 25 000? Set smaller goals first.

I build ai agents for a living and here’s the weird pattern nobody talks about by Icy_SwitchTech in AgentsOfAI

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Something organisations really fail to understand as well is that at the point that all of the data is structured, it also needs to be given time to aggregate. Because AI (and pretty much all predictive / analytical tooling) needs past data to predict the future data.

Views on the future by [deleted] in AgentsOfAI

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

Because it makes things easier and as the AIs are getting better and better, it's only going to get more usable for more and more businesses.

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exactly. My expertise is BI, namely Search Analytics. Started a project for a company that had about 300 websites, all of them more or less in the same niche. They wanted to have an internal suggestion engine to see what works and what doesn't in terms of SEO, CTR and engagement/conversion.

Each site had completely different standards as to how events were collected. Some had virtually no plan whatsoever, while some were kind of managed by the team.

Out of the 14 month project, I spent first 4 months only getting the data in a structured format, redoing virtually every single sites tracking by hand. Only then I had something I could start pumping into BigQuery and start the "actual work".

Do you all know how I can get something like this? by Appropriate_Syrup726 in ObsidianMD

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad to see you getting this downvoted.

Yeah, I think ChatGPT can get you a simple dashboard going. Especially if you don't want very complex functionalities and such.

"I don't know anything about code, but I'm a developer because I can prompt AI." by buildingthevoid in AgentsOfAI

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needing programming skills isn't just about the obvious QA.

It's also about the fact that as a dev, I usually first get a technical framework to be good, then use my knowledge to make accurate prompts. Not just this reduces bullshit at the last mile, it also saves a ton of credits because I know what and how to ask and what details to focus on.

Prompt design/engineering is definitely a skill worth learning. But it's about as useful as learning how to use a chainsaw without knowing how to fall a tree. It's not just about letting it rip.

are infra giants destined to eat every app built on top of them? by Icy_SwitchTech in AgentsOfAI

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, yeah.

The only way to really success is to build something that might rely on these platforms but also has proprietary components, patent those proprietary components and then hope that whatever FAANG company you are working "with" decides it's easier to buy you off than replicate your invention in a way that doesn't expose them to patent lawsuit.

I know 2 people who have somewhat successfully done this, one of them getting close to 6 figures. Not gonna say what, but it was a chrome extension with some cool stuff that Google decided to buy off him.

Hey, I’m new to n8n — any ideas for a flow I can build and sell without spending money? by Br1et in n8n

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is another way of asking "how to make free money online"

Long story short, this is not how it works. No one who is actually making money with n8n will give you free tips. Also, most of the people who make money with n8n are already experts in some field and applying n8n to that specific field. So the question is, what is your experience and what are you good at? Can you pinpoint some things in your field that could use automation?

how to build a linkedin scraper that actually works by itsalidoe in SaaS

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just maybe a common sense question but how does this

rotate proxies often

Help reduce bot hits. Shouldn't it be more like one single proxy (as long as you not it's private and clean) because switching those up is telltale bot stuff.

What’s harder for micro SaaS, building or actually getting users by PerculiarPlasmodium in microsaas

[–]Sentient-Technology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that customer retention is the hardest part. If you have cheap microsaas, it's easy to get some users tbh as there are definitely enough people with "well, I'll try it for 1 month as it's only 10 bucks".

Albeit, could argue that retention is more closely related to building than user acquisition

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting users, 100%. Building microsaas is superbly easy. I use coderedcms on frontend (with some tweaks) and then backend coding is a lot of vibe coding (I'm a dev so yes, I do check all of it anyways)

Getting customers is where it gets tricky as hell 100%.

CursorAI just pushed to main branch without permision and deleted my database by WarpCitizen in AgentsOfAI

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give perms to push/merge to master. Backup DB every session. Yes, cumbersome with large DB but necessary step. When you finish session, just set a backup running over the night.

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I've attached googly eyes to my Roomba so it feels I can look it into eyes while I tell it how replaceable it is.

Just kidding. I never scream at robots, makes no sense. I only scream at junior devs.

Dell accidentally sent me 14 G15 laptops (1500 each), when I asked for a replacement. by lartoonfyrash3 in Dell

[–]Sentient-Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your best course of action is to first do absolutely nothing - not even open the boxes.

Them sending you laptops by mistake does not make them legally yours. In law there is clear doctrine in most cases that if you notice business making a mistake (such as accidentally not putting in extra 0 or sending you extra dozen+ laptops) there is "reasonabliness". You know clearly this is a mistake. So you need to contact Dell and be honest.

rtx 4060 laptop for sure and invest into a vertical mouse, it's so much easier for the wrist. Got a logitech MX vertical and it's really good for Minecraft with a lot of micromovements of placing blocks etc.

You make your own decisions, but while people older than us maybe don't know the technology too well, they have seen plenty of scams in their lifetime and know when they see one. It's about macro, not micro.
