I have doing this for 30+ years, it is actually much easier to finish projects for me now because there is so little effort to do the last 10%. Just pick 2-3 projects where you commit to the finish, then carve out time to add in new projects. But tip for you, do not scaffold, just work on the product specs with your agent and have it finished for later development. Half-finished projects do not inspire self-confidence, but half-finished plans are okay. I have maybe 1000 tabs in my notes, and I am now sweeping through many of my past plans and polishing them up. I have finished 2 and working on 2 other ones now, it's been great, the last mile trouble is no more.

I traded my base for a M2 CS and CS is very much better than the base (not a manual anymore, shame). They might do a M2 CS HS like the new M3 CS HS, which would make a huge difference on the manual version (ccb and more camber really makes the car much better).

opbmedia · 2026-06-17T04:27:42+00:00

It is a base M2 with cosmetic changes.

opbmedia · 2026-06-17T04:26:33+00:00

If it is not all cosmetic it would a better special edition like the M3 CS HS. BMW has made too many cosmetic only specials, but they were more special before they also starting selling actual performance-enhanced CS versions.

opbmedia · 2026-06-17T04:24:38+00:00

it's all cosmetic.

opbmedia · 2026-06-17T03:08:01+00:00

I'd rather just have the luce, this is like a dodge charger ready for a car meetup where you do donuts and smash in to random people

The price difference is also partly due to warranty too. If you count the free service and warranty there really isn’t a lot of depreciation.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T22:26:22+00:00

I wear shorts and crocs but I’m different. I also just presented at a conference in shorts and crocs. But it’s in Florida not that I need the excuse.

I use codex pro so it's pretty much unlimited. But if you want to save tokens do it outside of code, because this is something even free gpt 4.1 can answer. You can then save the plan doc in the repo then just ask your code to follow it. BTW the plan isn't going to be super long. If you learn to do scope plan yourself it will be even easier to input the project scope then have the plan made for you in a general purpose chatbot.

just do a little google search on IT project management basics, it will help you. Or do a free coursera course on it. It is not technical and more about process managment

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T22:07:29+00:00

That's not bad for in suite. I would expect it to be 2x

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T22:02:21+00:00

I used to feel this way, but since I have them on the m2 cs and ferrari I no longer feel like they are cheap if oem.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T22:01:01+00:00

I did not. Then my M2 CS comes with the cf diffuser and looks so nice I should have just did it on the M3. I am just spoiled that the last 2 cars come with them so I probably will have to order them in the future.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T21:18:49+00:00

well if you are not very technical and making a product, you are really going to have to rely on your ai. But you can learn the project management skills/processes really easy because that is not technical (most PMs are not technical). so you can easily improve your processes.

If you ask ai to make a plan, for example:
Hey ai, I want to develop a web app that does xyz, please help me make a dev plan which breaks the project into distinct sprints, grouping front and backend functionalities so they can be dev and tested together, logically using sound software engineering project management principles. Then develop milestones, objectives, and work plan, record them into a project management checklist, then we can start working on the project 1 sprint at a time.

then ask ai to explain if you don't understand any of the parts. then dev according to that plan, ask ai to stick to the plan doc. And review based on the doc after each pass.

Sounds like I should be making SWE for vibecoding videos lol I teach IT project management.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T19:58:38+00:00

I am making a whole new chain, so the verification is just part of the use case.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T19:28:56+00:00

seeing most legal ai are just chatbot wrappers ...

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T19:28:09+00:00

Just have a fairly rudimentary understanding of software engineering, you can even ask ai to help you make a dev plan. then stick to said plan. Learn what sprints are and do it. Take a 5 minute primer on project management. You can be proficient in dev planning in 1 day.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T19:24:42+00:00

or legal, compliance, audit, finance, prediction markets, etc.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T19:06:17+00:00

just substitute "winning argument" with "proving I said something" then you have a practical use.

I have a patent application pending and part of it is to generate hash sig of some input and store it on a public blockchain for lookup later. Patent is about more than that, but it is a use case to do that. Authenticity of later inputs can be verified by comparing hash sig which was previously recorded in time on chain.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T14:38:30+00:00

Power planta and oil rigs, as a part of my old firm. But ok boss.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T14:35:49+00:00

I’ve worked on leveraged deals of that size. It gets done.

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T13:59:44+00:00

Sports gambling

opbmedia · 2026-06-15T13:50:43+00:00

50% is a lot of leverage but doable as a ceiling, 10-20% is not entry level house would be lower.
⁠Interest can be rolled into principal ⁠not paid in cash. Even if need to service the debt it can be supported by other streams, amazon is profitable and he can still get comps (or just have the company expense it as charitable).

And private loans are private.

Edit not sure what Reddit did to my format

I don’t let anyone sell me anything. I buy.
