Been thinking about second brains for AI. Same concept as the human version—offload context so you can pick up where you left off. Except it's md files the model reads, not you. Works surprisingly well.

Using AI for marketing / GTM copywriting? Consider asking the LLM to evaluate text using the value equation: Value = (Dream Outcome × Perceived Likelihood of Achievement) / (Time Delay × Effort & Sacrifice)

imho: mastering AI is the highest ROI skill right now. not just 'using it'. mastering it. the gap between those two is massive.

Interesting how AI is simplifying UI down to: Chat Table Canvas Buttons Terminal

Weird realization: I've used more skills from management books than programming books when working with AI lately. Getting it to work within your system feels more like coaching than coding.

JSON-LD used to be "nice to have" for rich snippets. Now? AI models are using structured data to understand and reference your content. Skip it and you're invisible to both Google and the answer engines. 5 minutes of implementation. Two optimization layers.

The simplification of UI happening with AI is underrated. Instead of changing the interface to change the workflow, now you just update the tools and prompts behind a chat. Same UI, completely different capabilities. Iterate without disrupting users.

Been working on a @railway next-wp (Next.js / Headless @WordPress) deploy for a while now and finally shipped it.

New ep with @youngbloodcyb The hardest part of building with AI isn't technical — it's letting go of what you think you know. New episode on the Bitter Lesson and why humility might be the most important engineering skill right now. youtu.be/hNj-nmMaowM

grateful for family, friends, and the llms

next-wp now runs Next.js 16 and Tailwind 4

📝 add form building to your application in one command just shipped brijr/forms, a drag-and-drop form builder you can install directly into your app with @shadcn cli. one command, full form system. everything is done via JSON so it's super easy to add AI generation and save forms to a database!

AI has transformed coding into a process that feels more and more like sculpting rather than construction. Raw material can be generated in seconds and then whittled down into a usable product and user experience.

It's that time of year... New personal site is _live_.

just shipped an markdown starter repo with Velite as the content layer and honestly? pretty impressed. the type safety is clean, the config is straightforward, and it just works. no fighting with it. if you're building content-heavy sites with Next.js, worth checking out 👀

2025 is the year of browsers and IDEs My stats —> Browsers Tried: 9 Code Editors Tried: 7 Final verdict? I’m tired.

If swapping models takes more than one line of code, you're battling infrastructure instead of testing ideas. Having shipped enough agents to learn: model flexibility and prompt iteration speed are everything.

shipped a new MDX Website template 📝 > Next.js 16 App Router > Velite for type-safe content > copy posts as markdown for the llms > code blocks with copy button > shadcn/ui components > craft-ds for design system folder structure = your URLs. no config needed. perfect for blogs, docs, portfolios.

ever wanted to create an ai to act like someone you admire from history so you can chat with them about life? i made this 'persona creator prompt' to do that. i drop it in claude and use research mode on 4.5 sonnet and it cooks.

I love using @payloadcms for building apps and internal tooling... I made a starter 👇

my 2025 setup for mac ... still a work in progress

A fun question to ask chat: > Based off of what you know about me what would be good books for me to read? I got some pretty good suggestions.

I'm developing a new AI starter template using some of my favorite modern technologies. @nextjs @xmcp_dev @mastra_ai @supabase I call it loopflow --> workflows + human in the loop

I always add this to my .gitconfig I call it "git send." It's a simple alias that adds all staged changes and commits them with a provided message (default is "wip"). Here's an example of how to use it: git send "feat: add ai sdk"

Deployed my first production-level MCP to @vercel. Great experience and decided to write a guide on it. Still very early but excited for what Vercel is doing with this.

running @cursor_ai in full-auto is a wild experience.

Just shipped major performance improvements to next-wp! ✅ True server-side pagination ✅ 90% smaller API responses ✅ Unlimited post scaling ✅ WordPress headers integration Combined with @vercel fluid compute it's the best (and cheapest) way to host your headless @wordpress frontend.

Just passed 1,000 on YouTube 🎈 Thanks, everyone. I'm still learning what content is most helpful, but I'm excited to keep sharing the things I'm learning.

Never been a better time to be a product engineer.

One of my favorite things about AI is its ability to track my progress. I have a written record in the form of chats that document what I'm learning and thinking, and I can even interact with the record. Many people argue that AI replaces thinking; for me, it has enhanced it.

How to install the Meta Ads MCP server I made:

Once you make your first MCP server, there's no going back.

Setting up AI for design success? Can we teach AI good taste? I've found that establishing a solid baseline and providing the LLM with extensive instructions is crucial. This is my goal with craft-ds and @shadcn/ui. Here is a bit of an intro into my current process. More to come.

AI is only as good as it's context

Made an MCP server for interacting with the Meta Ads Marketing API. ✅ Campaign Management ✅ Analytics & Reporting ✅ Audience Management ✅ Creative Management I have been really impressed with it's ability (be careful it will create campaigns for you if you ask it too haha). Feels like the future.

I love MCP
