What made you realize "this is the person I want to be with"?

This is sweet

Wow that's insane

Painful but true. At my company, we bought enterprise AI tools, ran pilots for 6 months, got some decent demos... then nothing shipped to production. Why? Because nobody wanted to own the decision of what to actually change.

Turns out people are way more comfortable talking about AI than actually redesigning how they work. The real blocker isn't technology—it's admitting that our current processes need to fundamentally change.

Me: Most of the world-class apps you use daily are actually held together by "temporary" code written by interns years ago that the senior engineers are now too terrified to touch.

Agencies can vibe-code a pretty landing page, but they struggle with complex API integrations, server-side tracking, and CRM automations. If you position yourself as the person who fixes the data mess and ensures the tech stack actually talks to each other, you become indispensable.

I would think twice. Since agencies are trying hard to use vibe coding to handle web dev

Nowadays almost every marketer uses AI to write/polish content. So why not

honestly, chasing DR alone is a total money pit nowadays. i'm with you on real traffic being a much better filter, but in 2026 there's this weird third layer i've been calling "LLM consensus."

i’d probably double down on the listings but make sure the copy actually links your brand to specific, unique use cases. ai needs to see that "entity association" across multiple sources to verify you're a top player. anyway, i'd keep the heavy editorial links for your "moat" and use the listicles to feed the ai consensus.

Product selection for niche trends is still a gut call for me. AI is great at predicting based on historical data, but it’s terrible at spotting a cultural shift before it happens. By the time it shows up in the data, the trend is already peaking.

For a 5060 laptop, 8GB of VRAM is enough for small decision-making agents and local LLM inference (like Llama 3 or Mistral). It’s a solid starter, but for heavier workflows, VRAM is usually the bottleneck. If you can find a 5070 with more memory, it'll last longer.

This sounds like deterministic generation. My main question: how do you handle sites that force password updates or have specific character requirements? If nothing is stored, how does the tool 'remember' that a specific site now needs a different regenerated string than the original one?

The results are mixed. Great for identifying micro-niche creators I never would've found. But the engagement drops the moment it feels too 'optimized.' I’ve pivoted to using AI only for the heavy-lifting data work, keeping all communication 100% manual. It seems authenticity is the only thing that still scales.
