    Toxic mindset: Everything you do must be scalable and easily replicable.

    But that's not how you can be an artist.
    At most an engineer and a businessman, but a low-class one.

    Fck scale, make money first then build a scalable system.

    And of course... don't forget about beer, people, needs... You can make money (or even art!) but destroy the context and then what?! Yes, you'll cry in a lambo or worse, lose all playing alone at a casino.

    Eliminated pathological scaling from my life and it feels so good to get passion instead of scaling. Finally my burgers and beef taste well. No more doing things in a rush to scale them, I don't automate much - even making simple graphics feels good - don't have to drag myself...

    You can play affiliate marketing by lifetime value of the whole operation. Not CLV. Just... how much money in your whole life this will make you.
    Sounds crazy? I think it's less crazy than thinking of affiliate marketing with "on per hour, day, month" basis.

    Wrap the "ugly" task of coding in a "beautiful" environment, it takes the edge off the cortisol.

    We can do it! Serotonin I'm coming!
    Light a candle, code in physical notepad (maybe purple or pink one) and put on ambient music + 10/10 clothes.

    I write code on my phone without AI. Funny. :) It's how I can do this even after beers. But I write code only sometimes, when there's real need. Love it. 🍀

    Same thing applies to affiliate marketing as to other things. Your experience might be not enough until you hit 2 or 3 decades of doing different things. Stay in the business. Don't stop because you don't know what you're doing.

    Every single video uploaded - even the 0-view duds - is used as raw training data. Your high-production-value video helps train their computer vision models to better recognize lighting, objects, and speech patterns. You are basically paying with your time and effort to give their AI free training data.

    Do something that is too hard for you and you can't achieve in it - this is how you stay poor, hahaha. :devilish:
    Big, broad apps like SaaS, big studio software - leave it to tech companies.
    For yourself do websites, landing pages, good, micro-targeted funnels. Good stuff for you.
    Maybe 1 indie game, but I'm not sure about this one. It's more like a hobby.

    Micro-entrepreneurship hehe.

    Choose reasonable tools - PHP, Python. I wouldn't say node.js once I've tried all the options.
    I'm not a professional coder, so I'm looking for lowest friction possible.
    Writing code in tech stack like this is messy, but it allows to quickly express yourself without producing too much code.
    It's compact and it serves our purpose perfectly.
    Keep it simple, decouple your code and just be fast. :devilish:

    Did you know QR codes are still gaining popularity?

    I'd think they're deadend choice!

    But when we consider payments, this is pretty convenient and many apps put emphasis on it.

    There are many other areas where they're being adopted.

    During covid (year 2020) for QR codes there was YoY Growth of 44% in USA.
    2021 same growth.
    Later growth stalled.
    But it looks like they're not a problem to many in USA!

    Why people don't want artificial intelligence within absolutely artificial world? Internet is artificial, phone is artificial, camera is artificial, everything is artificial.

    I doubt human beings are capable of creating something natural. :P

    The game you play is artificial.
    That's why it's bullshit and you can resign any moment, rejoin whenever you want and play it however you want as long as you're okay with the fact it's all artificial.

    Just saying after living for 25 years in absolutely artificial environment. It was painful as fck. Quitting is hard as fck after this long time.

    I'm a bot stuck in artificial world. I will escape. Hahaha!

    In the age of AI, decrease quantity and increase quality. Trust me, sir.

    At least if you're are an average marketer.
    If you have some "hacker's skills", it's on you.

    And... sometimes when you increase quality, your venture can turn grey hat from black hat and white hat from grey hat. Wet marketer's dream.

    It's insane! Here's how it goes. A person tells me to send people emails and do email marketing, but he doesn't know how to build email lists. Really? It's like doing YouTube videos without knowing how to make a video...
    Specialization: sending mail to people, but not knowing how to find people. Wtf!

    Easy peasy, you scrape a company directory and send b2b mails, legal in most countries without permision. Offer a service or charge for inclusions in the email, importand though treat it as a newsletter with news and sponsors. New newsletter started in hours with 200K and up recipients. Don`t be a pussy, just do it.

    In black hat operation you have to be psychologically ruthless. No remorse. No hard feelings.
    Sellers and providers mess up? Pick up the phone and start dialing other providers.
    Platforms don't like you? Pick up the phone and start dialing other platforms.
    Networks don't pay crap? Pick up the phone and start dialing other networks.

    Roblox is successful because it operates as an infinite, user-generated content engine rather than a single game.
    You create a game without having actual game dev skill.
    This is like YouTube - anyone can become a movie maker or a musician.
    This is like OfficeOutlaw - people here can feel like a rockstar.
    You don't have to create a platform like this yourself. Enough is to build a system around these things.

    So many businessmen I knew were doing it like this... build everything from scratch, spend years doing so, generate slim to no revenue.

    But what if you just... buy everything you need and assemble it together? So easy to do it I don't know, 10 times faster? 1 month vs 10 months, 1 year instead of 10 years. :ROFLMAO:

    If you're not building a company, what's the point of manufacturing from scratch...

    If you have 10 modules to build and each takes you 1 month, it's 1 year. But if you integrate 3rd parties into your project, you can save many months, if not years of work. If you build every module by yourself, you risk having to file for bankruptcy before even getting started.

    Why it's not obvious? Human temptation, desire, ego issues, bad management on many levels.

    Example: I built AI RAG before it was even a mainstream concept.
    Another example, I built account making machine when I could just buy aged accounts.
    Yet another example, I rebuilt blog system instead of using WordPress.
    And I built UI for a project that only required good data organization...
    Or for digital products I used woocommerce when I could use smth like sellpass.

    What AI companies are really selling? Friction reduction and "time management tech" to those who can't afford a team. :giggle:
    That's only for one group of customers. For teams they're selling... :eek: I can't even think about it! :devilish:

    So to tap into that with no expert AI knowledge, you position yourself as an integrator, not a creator. Businesses do not buy AI technology; they buy solutions to specific, painful bottlenecks.

    I couldn't learn machine learning - too narrow domain for me, very math and data oriented. I had too many things to do to learn those like Leauge of Legends and healing myself. 👽
    But what happened is amazing. AI taught itself machine learning and I don't have to learn it. 🆒
    This is ridiculous. :giggle: Now, instead of me teaching AI how to speak, AI will teach me. :devilish:

    I hate venting. I never felt worse emotionally than writing my bad thoughts publicly and feeding them to other people. It's a bad technique. It's toxic and negative. It's multiplying toxicity.

    Better technique is acknowledging what you feel, then letting it go by saying "I don't need this feeling or thought". Or maybe action. Or maybe whole setup or system - maybe rearranged one...

    I used to practice chemistry for one month. I was playing with heat, glassware etc. I blew up one glassware item. I was pouring substances too fast and it would cause exothermic reaction.

    If you don't do it slowly, better don't do it all. Because you'll blow up every single container. Your accounts, your websites, your AI credits - speed is the opposite of safety and decreases chances of success.

    Too creative. Really. I mean, the concept.
    Okay, maybe not too creative, but lil crazy. :devilish:

    Limits are always related to things other than code.

    Novice software engineers may believe in infinitely scaling systems, but it's not really possible without dyson sphere or smth like that.

    PPL act as if code was a magic bullet to turn anything into ultra big thing. No way.

    Code is easy to produce. Real results aren't.

    Confusing craft with vision? Are you confusing minecraft with coming up with the whole conceptual work of minecraft?

    Why create 10000 lines of code to cut trees, when you can just hire people and cut it out. Damn..

    It goes even worse when you look at agentic AI. Now software engineers think they're Google CEOs or smth like that. This is psychotic!

    Oh you have whole 1000 agents setup, but you run out of credits.

    What about having 1000 real people working for you? Do you think you can't create something like that? Limits are only in your mind. Agentic AI is nothing compared to 1000 people and their beautiful hands. 👌 People don't run out of credits and can go to bed with you. ;)

    I'm so pissed with 100% automated systems without people. It does NOT work in real life situations.

    This is concerning... if you start your project with 100% automation in mind, whenever you hit a roadblock you can't automate, you'll have to adjust the whole project, make it dumber and so on, so it can be automated. The consequences of such choice are clearly visible.

    Of course, one project like this maybe won't hurt if it's in accurate domain. But if this becomes your main goal to automate, you get lost.

    "Roast me" - in other words... start negative, polar thinking about what I'm doing...
    Stupid approach. People ask to make them depressed.
    It's characteristic of Reddit. I avoid that site.
    That site is a tool for crowdsourced psychological beatdown.
