I just realized something about Cyber Monday: Most developers waste it on gadgets. But the smart move? Invest in the 4 pillars that actually grow your career as a developer. A few years ago, I was stuck at a government desk job where I couldn't get hired anywhere else no matter how many applications I sent. I was grinding LeetCode daily, launching startups on the side, and making less than minimum wage when I averaged it all out. Then AI dropped at the end of 2022, and I realized: this is the biggest wave of my lifetime. But my current approach wasn't working. So I did something different. I assessed myself across 4 pillars: Beliefs × Skills × Awareness × Monetization = Your Developer Impact My score: - Beliefs: 10/10 (I believed I could do it) - Skills: 6/10 (I could build, but had gaps) - Awareness: 1/10 (nobody knew who I was) - Monetization: 3/10 (only knew a few ways to make money) My score: 10 × 6 × 1 × 3 = 180 Here's what changed everything: Going from Skills 6→8 would take me from 180→240 (nice, but not life-changing) Going from Awareness 1→2 would take me from 180→360 (game-changer) So instead of buying gadgets this Cyber Monday, I invested in courses and books for ALL FOUR pillars. Result? More than doubled my income and went from zero opportunities to way more than I can keep up with. You can watch the full framework breakdown below! Here's what you'll learn: ✅ My Developer Impact Score assessment (do this yourself to find your bottleneck) ✅ Why awareness was my biggest bottleneck (probably yours too) ✅ The exact courses, books, and programs I bought for each pillar (NOT sponsored—these genuinely changed my life) ✅ How to maximize your chance of succeeding during the AI revolution ✅ The mindset shift from "take" to "give" that opened up all my opportunities Plus, I'm giving you my complete shopping list organized by the 4 pillars: PILLAR 1 - BELIEFS 📖 Millionaire Fastlane → https://a.co/d/cmJdbTZ

Hey guys! Brandon wanted me to throw this in here after talking about this on tonights call. If you are into Claude Code, IndieDevDan is an amazing AI Engineer YouTuber to follow. He had a video I wanted to break down with how i work and how he explained concepts as it can be confusing about how slash commands, mcp, agents, skills and memory work together, when to use them, etc. https://scottmichaelmedia.craft.me/claude_code_features

Cursor just dropped version 2.0 last night and I've been testing it all night to give you my honest first impression. The three most game-changing features: Multi-Agents (run up to 8 agents in parallel), the new Composer model (4x faster than the old one), and Browser Mode (now fully embedded in the editor). In this first look, I break down what works, what needs improvement, and my opinion on whether you should use cursor or claude code with the new changes. You can watch the full breakdown below! Here's exactly what you'll learn: ✅ Multi-Agents walkthrough: How to run up to 8 agents in parallel on a single prompt and when this actually saves you time ✅ Side-by-side speed test comparing the new Composer model vs the old model—see the 4x speed difference in real-time ✅ Browser Mode deep dive: The new embedded interface, element selection tools, and real use cases for UI development and workflow automation ✅ New Editor features including voice-enabled coding, worktrees, and how to use multiple models in one workspace ✅ Price comparison breakdown: What you actually pay for Claude 4.5 Sonnet vs Composer 1 and which makes sense for your workflow ✅ My honest verdict: Feature-by-feature assessment, bugs I found during testing, and whether you should upgrade today or wait Whether you're excited about Multi-Agents, the faster model, or Browser Mode, this deep dive will show you exactly what's new and what actually matters.
