How I stopped using AI like a search engine
9/10 people use AI like a search engine. They ask a generic question... And they get a super encouraging answer. (Probably scraped off Reddit or an internet forum). But the top 10% treat it like a collaborative partner. They ask better questions. And they do it with the quesiton interaction prompt Instead of guessing what to ask or prompt, force the AI to do the heavy lifting for you. Next time you are stuck, paste your draft as usual. Then, add this single line: "Rather than answering,...
I spent 3 weeks building with AI. Here's what actually worked.
I just wrapped up 3 weeks of intensive AI coding experiments. While everyone's debating whether AI will replace developers, I decided to test it myself. Here's what I actually built and what surprised me: What I Built: A portfolio tracker with IBKR integration (Python + Telegram alerts) Three business automation scripts using Claude Code A complete Zettelkasten CLI system for rapid note capture Deployed multiple projects to VPS using cursor CLI The Reality Check: AI didn't replace thinking -...
How I organize a dozen coding projects (without losing my mind)
I have a problem. 22 coding and content projects are scattered across my Mac. They were in different repos, stages, and purposes. Last week, I spent 30 minutes trying to find which project contained my options-trading code. Here's the system I built to fix this: The Two-System Rule: Zettelkasten = Thinking and learning • Permanent notes about what I learned • Frameworks and insights • NO project files or PRDs ~/cursor/ = Building and shipping • One folder per project • All code, docs, and...
How I turned 1,000+ notes into content gold with Claude
Claude just became my secret weapon for content creation. I fed it my entire library of notes—thousands of markdown files—and built four custom scripts that now run my content planning on autopilot. Here's what these scripts actually do: Deep Pattern Analyzer: Runs weekly to audit how I spent my time, spots contradictions in my work, identifies cross-domain patterns, and even suggests reflection questions for journaling. It's like having an AI accountability coach that actually reads my...
I wrote a manifesto about plain text 3 years ago. It just paid off.
I wrote a private little manifesto about the merits of writing in plain text and markdown file a few years ago. Since then, I’ve collected nearly 7000 notes inside my private knowledgebase. It’s the engine behind all my content, coding and business ideas. It also just paid off in a way I never expected thanks to Claude Code. First, here’s the gist: No vendor lock-inIf you use plain text and Markdown, your writing isn’t trapped in fancy-pants database or a proprietary format. I’ve tried all...
How I organize 20+ coding projects (without losing my mind)
I built a Telegram bot in 15 minutes with Clawdbot.
I built a Telegram bot in 15 minutes with Clawdbot. Then, I deleted everything. Clawdbot (now rebranded as Moltbot after legal issues with a certain AI vendor) is the latest rage in AI automation. It's aersonal AI assistant. You can use it to send emails, manage calendar, interact with online services. All from the command line. I built an interactive Telegram bot that gave me updates on my calendar, email and coding projects. 15 minutes from zero to working bot. But I uninstalled it after a...
