7 videos. 1 honest verdict.
I spent the last few months building in public - testing every AI framework, every tool, every shortcut. LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, n8n agent swarms, Flowise, and even my own framework OpenClaw.
The conclusion video is live now:
And I've put the entire 7-video series into a YouTube course so you can watch the full journey from start to finish:
Here is what I kept: DuckDB, direct REST APIs, Claude Code, CLAUDE.md as the OS layer, Git.
Here is what I deleted: everything that was setup porn - demos that looked impressive but generated zero revenue.
This is the foundation for what we build next inside the Lab.
