Hey guys, Adel here. I joined the community a couple of weeks ago and I was reading part of your messages and of course part of the videos shared by @Nick Vasilescu. I want to start congratulating Nick for his generosity sharing knowledge and resources. I'm a software engineer for the last 9 years and I was working as consultant another 9 years before that. Right now I'm working in a small startup orchestrating payments. Why Am I here? Well, I want really to take control of my life, you know when you work for a company there are good things but also bad things. In my opinion, the worst things are related to don't have control about what you want to do or the lack of flexibility in different perspectives. I want really to change that, but I'm a husband and a father and I can't quit my job until I have something in place. I want to be part of this new era, I had a little of exposure to AI in my job, but I want really to learn, grow and take advantage of this opportunity we have in front of us. But I need initially to do it in parallel with my job. I'm Spanish but currently living in Ireland. In one hand I'm checking boring processes here (bookkeeping, logistics management, ...), in order to find gaps and processes with potential to be automated. In the other hand it's where I want to receive help/advice from you guys... I'm seeing a lot of content and I want really to start doing things... Based on your actual experience, if you had to start right now, what would be the main resources or steps you would take? Thank you in advance for your time and help, I hope I can provide updates here... Adel.

In two days spent over 2,000,000,000 tokens on gpt5.5 xhigh fast mode I sold this app for 28,000$ plus 4,500$ / Month Picasso said it’s not about how long it takes me to do a drawing that makes it so valuable. It’s how long it took me to get that good !! Agentic engineering is a gold rush why?? Because of supply and demand People with good agentic engineering skills are in extreme demand and there in short supply What happens to things that are in high demand and low supply ? They get valued like gold. Hints the gold mine reference Experience in this space means next to nothing because majority of everyone has the same experience level Don’t get discouraged by not knowing everything cause nobody does. Even fable doesn’t hit 100% on benchmarks Like Nick says. Sell before it’s perfect ! Your business starts the day you collect money from a stranger, Weither you know how to deliver or not. Sell then figure it out !! Agent Empire !!
