Every day my inbox fills with messages about the "must-have AI tools" you absolutely need. But here's the truth: more tools won't make you more productive. In fact, tool overload is killing your output while making you feel like you're "keeping up." Let's cut through the noise and build something that actually works. I'm going to show you how to create a minimalist AI toolkit that delivers...

Let's cut through the noise. There's a misconception floating around that to be "AI-native" means having an encyclopedic knowledge of every new tool that drops on Product Hunt. That's not just wrong—it's counterproductive. Being truly AI-native in 2025 isn't about breadth of tool knowledge. It's about depth of integration . It's finding those few powerful tools that sync perfectly with your...

Let me hit you with a hard truth: 90% of so-called "AI experts" are drowning in tools they hardly use. They collect AI products like my uncle collects vintage stamps while their actual work stays the same. It's a problem I see everywhere in the AI space - people obsessing over having the latest tools rather than actually putting AI tools to work . What's really happening behind the scenes is...

I've been in the trenches building React Native apps for 7 years. Just spent the weekend digging into ByteDance's new Lynx framework and hate to say it... React Native might be in serious trouble! Remember React Native's big promise? "Write once, run anywhere!" It sounded revolutionary. But after years in the field, I've seen the reality behind that slogan. The actual day-to-day experience has...

Most tech stacks are a bloated mess of tools that eat up your time and money , and sanity. I'm about to tell you something that big software companies don't want you to know: Postgres isn't just a database. It's a whole damn platform. For years, we've been fed this BS that we need a dozen different technologies to build a modern application. MongoDB for documents. Redis for caching. RabbitMQ for...

Most people completely misunderstand confidence. They see it as loud, boastful, and attention-seeking—the guy who dominates every conversation or the woman who constantly highlights her achievements. But that's not real confidence. That's compensation. Real confidence has a different quality altogether. It's that quiet, unshakable knowing deep in your bones that whatever life throws at you ,...

TikTok just accomplished what React Native developers have long insisted was impossible. They've created an app framework that delivers actual native performance , supports real CSS styling, includes AI coding assistance , and comes with zero tradeoffs. This isn't just another incremental improvement—it's a fundamental shift that changes everything for mobile developers. For years, we've all...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, your approach matters more than you might think. The way you interact with AI today could determine your success tomorrow. It's not just about using AI—it's about how you use it. I've been watching the AI space closely, and one pattern has become increasingly clear: those who approach AI with a sense of wonder and experimentation are...

The technology revolution isn't slowing down. AI tools are transforming industries, automation is eliminating routine jobs, and algorithms are handling increasingly complex tasks. Yet amid this technological acceleration, something counterintuitive is happening: soft skills are becoming more valuable, not less. We've been told to learn coding, master data analysis, and understand machine learning...

Last week, a client made me question everything. After 18 years of running my agency, I experienced something that genuinely rattled me to my core. One client interaction managed to leave me questioning my professional worth . I want to share this story because we rarely discuss these vulnerable moments in our industry. We're quick to post about wins, client praise, and successful launches, but...
