    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    AI for everything, but I know what I am doing, so I am mindful of not letting it introduce security risks. I'ts just much faster than writing code myself.

    A journey to freedom from alarm clocks

    EXECUTION 
    Is it? Well, thank you for saying that, it certainly doesn't feel that way. MVP is always a Node.js vibe-coded app, freelancing varies a lot because it's not just software, in fact, software for freelancing is a minority of my projects.

    EXECUTION 
    July update: Achieved my goal of acquiring one more client so that I am not as reliant on initial client list. The work is pretty boring but it pays very well so will keep it c. 3 days a week as a cornerstone project Will end things with my current cornerstone client who lately has become...

    The AI Agents Thread: If You're Not Using It NOW, Does It Mean You're Behind?

    GOLD! - AI - 
    I am creating one for my SaaS website, which basically scrapes, categorizes, and double-checks database inputs, but I am not sure if it qualifies as an agent or if it's just fancy AI automation. Based on all the LinkedIn n8n automation posts that I see which "can replace an entire team of X" ...

    EXECUTION 
    June update: Freelancing remains very good, in July I will most likely sign a completely new contract and expand my client list The Saas product remains unmarketed but I have assigned an email scraping job to at least get an email campaign going. I will actively look for a partner to promote...

    - AI - 
    At this point, the pace of progress is just too rapid and I don't like it. I have been working with AI automation through the API for the past year or so and I still haven't had time to master things like MCP or agents. I wouldn't mind some slowing down which hopefully will come soon when the...

    An AI-based web browser, which I can't say I have tried because for now, it's Mac only. But just reading the description makes me think that some scraping/web extracting scripts I have written in the past are now obsolete. https://www.genspark.ai/browser

    EXECUTION 
    May update: Moved to a new country to become tax resident and wasted a lot of time on logistical and bureaucratic bullshit. The Saas app MVP is ready, finding time to promote it is a big struggle right now Income is flowing from freelancing, with another potential project coming my way, plus...

    Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech

    IDEA 
    Sure, the funding will be there even if reduced. My point was that if you are going to compete on cost, then now is a good time to do it. I'd say don't overestimate those non-traditional deals. Firstly, they are much fewer than you think, the majority of biotech relies on VC funding, with some...

    Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech

    IDEA 
    We are in similar fields, best of luck! The point about funding is important, your timing would be good because not only federal funding is leaving, but also VC funding, and deals in biotech are in one of the worst slumps ever. Your challenges will be a) there are many established agencies that...

    EXECUTION 
    April update: Hiring cheap programmers from Upwork has been very unproductive. For one of my projects, I got more done by installing Claude CLI and just letting it code from prompts, which is crazy. Already had my 1st experience of a big corporate delaying paying my invoice by over a month...

    EXECUTION 
    March update: This month has been the busiest since I quit my job. I have reached the point in freelancing where I need to start outsourcing. I have already found someone to do my bookkeeping, now I will look for a cheap VA that can do generic tasks for up to $10 per hour. I sold a new $20k...

    EXECUTION 
    February update: Freelancing is going great, I have a 2nd contract going which will be a lot of work but it's good money, some of which is going to go into my investing pot I finished the beta version of a small web app that has the potential for income divorced from time, I gave it to a...

    It’s been a while since I beat up on freelancing… Where are you today?

    ASSERTION SIDE HUSTLE 
    I was never among the people to say that freelancing is a valid alternative to having your own business, but after quitting my job and freelancing for the past few months I have greatly enjoyed it. It has more economic uncertainty, and therefore stress, than regular employment. However, I also...

    January update: I spent the whole month in Egypt which was great but now back to cold Europe. My client was not interested in the subscription service idea, but that's fine, I can develop that independently. I managed to negotiate a higher day rate with him, which allows me to work only 3...

    EXECUTION 
    December update: My health is improving which I am grateful for and allows me to work more. Freelancing for this client has given me a series of ideas for how to automate some of their processes with AI. I got very excited about one particular idea and started coding it immediately with the...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    - AI - 
    The value of ChatGPT is insane. Nearly every week in my day job I think of a new way that ChatGPT could help automate or speed up some process. If only I had the time and energy to act on all of them. I am seriously considering pivoting part of my web dev agency to an AI automation consulting...

    November update: Bad: Caught COVID again. 5th time!!! Thankfully I had taken some Paxlovid with me before I left the US and it made it very mild, at least so far. My old, obese, extremely unhealthy relatives caught it at the same time and dealt with it just fine which I had trouble dealing...
