Just closed my first paying client and wanted to share for anyone still grinding. I've been offering AI consulting for local businesses helping them figure out where AI actually fits (answering calls, following up on leads, that kind of thing) instead of just hyping tools. No paid ads, no cold spam. I spent a couple months being genuinely useful in groups like this one, answering questions with no pitch attached. Eventually a business owner reached out to me asking if I could help them set something up. Booked a call, kept it focused on their bottlenecks instead of the tech, and they signed. Biggest lesson: leading with value builds trust way faster than any outreach sequence. If you're early on and it feels slow keep showing up. It compounds.

Building websites on day 5 was amazing! I learned the real way to make any websites look beautiful and stunning. The cloning and especially the screenshot method was mind blowing, it made website building a lot more creative and efficient i think. I actually used react bits to add little components for this demo website i made and honestly react bits has solid components for all different kinds with amazing animations and effects. Had a lot of fun making website's this way.

I’m curious what everyone thinks about this. Do you think AI agents are already genuinely useful for businesses today, or are most people still overhyping what they can actually do? Would love to hear: - real use cases - limitations you faced - things that surprised you

This one's a little different, but I had fun putting it together. I hope you guys find it interesting! 100 Years of Artificial Intelligence Explained, and it starts with a 26-year-old building something in his parents' bedroom and a code that took an entire war to crack. I walk through the whole timeline: the two winters that nearly killed the field, the approach everyone wrote off as a dead end, and the single move that made a world champion walk away. This is 100 Years of Artificial Intelligence Explained, and honestly we're just getting started.
