OpenAI's pricing tells a story: $20 → $200 → $2,000 → $20,000. The trend is obvious, and $20,000 is far from the ceiling.
Most engineers aren't maxing a $200 subscription. Without serious automation, that's already enough to keep a human typing prompts 24/7.

The "anyone can build anything with LLMs" hype is BS sold by ppl selling something. LLMs amplify existing skill and judgment—they don't replace it. But here's what is true: the minimum viable audience for a tool just shrunk from "thousands of users" to "one."Read more →
There's a buffalo rancher in Montana who noticed something. When a storm rolls in, cows turn and run. They try to outrun it. But storms move faster than cows. So the cows stay in the rain longer, getting soaked, shivering, miserable for hours.

Same storm. Different strategy. Entirely different outcome.Read more →
The farmers and programmers analogy holds: one operator with heavy machinery replaces a hundred shovel-wielding workers. Question isn't whether to use the machine. It's whether u know enough to notice when it's digging in the wrong direction.Read more →
Transformer architecture: an engineer demos chat-with-ai and gets shut down from above. OpenAI runs with it via ChatGPT and suddenly Google's playin catch-up with its own invention.
Yet google controls distribution, capital, and the signature line.
Medieval guilds understood this. Artisans owned their mark. You couldn't ship without your sign-off. Industrialization broke that pattern—factory owners captured what craftsmen produced. Now we're surprised when the pattern repeats in software?Read more →
