The two-tiered pricing model every service provider must use

(and every client must accept)

Option 1: Provider uses AI = lower price.

Option 2: Provider doesn’t use AI = higher price.

If you want to hire a service provider and drive down the price, drive up your dependence on automation. You can’t have a Michelin-star steak for McDonald’s pricing.

The best time to get started with AI

...was 10 years ago.

The second best time?

Is now.

A glass of wine is not exciting

No one cares.

But when wine comes from a robotic tap that automatically counts the ounces and pours with the tap of a card?

Suddenly it’s interesting again.

All around us are humdrum things repackaged in a new way, and we line up to buy them every time.

Vibe coding cleanup specialists

In this week’s Weird. Tech. Finds, I joked about how while vibe coding (using AI to code) increases productivity, it also increases bugs and security flaws.

This is a looming disaster. But it’s also a major opportunity.

People joke that we need “vibe coding cleanup specialists”, but the truth is this will be one of the world’s most valuable jobs in the next few years.

Vibe coding allows you to ideate like never before. But a visionary leader with a coding expert to help clean up the mess is a two-person team that can do pretty much anything in the world of tomorrow.

It’s not a joke, it’s a brilliant business/career plan.

Shiny becomes standard

What we marveled at two years ago is old hat now.

What impressed us moments ago is table stakes today.

How quickly the miraculous new turns to the expected old.
