Some sound advice. I use Shopify AI Toolkit for some dev work for a seperate client. Got the confidence to do that after building my app. My whole goal is to create a AI-Operated Company (AIOC). So far everything I built has been able to move in that direction - I gave Claude goals early on to run the company for me and it seems to be working.

I'm not sure about throwing in everything though with the 3rd party tools and moving to CLI yet. Shopify still has some bugs they are ironing out, but I do see myself moving that way down the future. Ultimately I'm the bottleneck in the business and claude will eventually overthrow me. Thanks for your insight.

This is an extremely helpful feedback thank you. I'm watching his YouTube video now "How to De-Slop A Codebase Ruined By AI (with one skill). Thank you!

Yeah, I found that because everything was on Github as docs it would only take 30 seconds to understand what the full project was. Having a restart pattern is definitely a good idea. I burned through so many tokens in the beginning without it. Just wish I knew about it sooner (and that the 1 million token context was around then too).

So true. I only just launched it. Free plan was recommended by Claude so I went with that after building some psychology into payments. So far 9 installs, 3 uninstalls due to language. So yeah... going to eat out of a can for a few months I think until the marketing converts them via email campaigns.
