After the first exercise at setting up folders, I began the next day to put it to work. I have two websites that I built with Manus and everything was great, until it wasn't - and I had no reasonable method to fix bugs. After my Brevo account got totally jacked up and my lists went to the netherworld, that was the last straw. I started to create files for a new site that I am going to use on the WordPress platform. I finished it at one session. The next day I decided to start with the second site and the lightbulb went on! I can make a set of skills for this! A whole new vista opened up. And while I am here. I SWORE I'd NEVER try Skool again. Ever! There was little to no value in anything I tried. Wasted money. But God has a sense of humor. This is the very first time that I have ever experienced a true community and that has meant the world to someone who lives very isolated. Thanks to all of you who helped me so selflessly! This is the Way. 😉

You guys keep liking and commenting on my confession posts, so here's another one. I wish at least one of these confessions wasn't real. They're all real (sad face). For the AI nerds in here (so, all of us): I think I'm addicted. It's worse than being hooked on a video game. A game at least has the decency to feel like a waste of time. This feels productive. Sometimes it actually is. At 1am, running six seven sessions at once? Not so much. ------------------------------------ What my nights have turned into ------------------------------------ Multiple Claude sessions going at once. When it got late and I knew I should be in bed, I'd flip every one of them with the /remote-control command so I could keep feeding the machine from my phone. Lying there in the dark. Waiting for the little dot to show up that means it's done thinking. Fire off the next instruction. Wait for the dot again. It's a slot machine. Drop the coins, pull the lever, watch for the dot. Like a freaking addict. One evening this week (I think it was Tuesday) I had three sessions all editing the same end-of-day file, and they kept overwriting each other's work. I'm sitting there getting genuinely angry. Then I caught myself cursing out a piece of software. Out loud. "You BLEEP, you broke it again." And I stopped. It's a machine, Ruben. Why are you getting triggered by a machine? And who's really doing the breaking? ------------------------------------ So I asked the machine why I can't quit the machine ------------------------------------ I did what any self-respecting addict does. I used the thing I'm addicted to, to figure out why I'm addicted to it. I'd read The Goal a while back (the Theory of Constraints novel everybody in operations swears by). I reopened it, had Claude walk me through the main concepts and tie them back to my business. And it clicked: I'm the bottleneck. My time, my attention. Not my team. Not my tools. Me. Then came the part that actually stung. The optimizing itself was the bottleneck. I'd been spending multiple two-hour sessions buffing an end-of-day routine whose entire job is to take fifteen minutes. The thing I kept "improving" stopped being my constraint years ago. I just couldn't put it down.

is any one using Hermes as there harness? personally i have been happy that i did all the starter classes here with a VS Code so i at least know what i am doing when getting the beast of something like hermes and LM Studio working.

We talk about folders all day, but the folders are FOR something. I want to know what... 🎖️Bonus points: comment with the single most painful manual process in your industry. The best comp entries come from exactly those answers.

Personally. No I don't think they did, I think the researchers are discovering what I did already ! And I'm happy they are. I would love if you all could comment, share or tag Google in this though as I would love to work with them !
