Comrades, please don't be slackers.
If you start building a multi-store platform in January — don't forget about it a month later. And don't forget to remind those dumbass neural nets writing it for you that you're building a multi-store. Because…

How It Gets Fixed
Last post showed what agents find on someone else's site. Now — what to do with it. How findings turn into fixes. Your own project is easier to fix than someone else's. Because you have access. Google Search Console as the source of truth…

4,191 products. Ten in Google.
Friends of mine in Lithuania run a site — airbag.lt. Parts, repair, store. Up for 22 years — domain registered in 2003. I'd long wanted to look under the hood. Not as an auditor — just curious. We do roughly similar things…

How I teach Claude Code to see, think, and do
Imagine: you have a newborn. Smart. Capable. But can't do anything yet. You need to give it eyes — to see. Hands — to do. And a brain — to know what to do.

How I actually decide what to take on
Once you start figuring things out and realize you can basically build almost anything at any level of complexity, the real question shows up: what to take on, how many projects you should run, and which ones are worth pulling off the ground…

A shift you can't ignore
If you're even slightly in the loop, you can see what's happening. The owners of the big neural networks are fighting for clients. Token prices are artificially low right now. Open-source models (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek) are squeezing from above. The market will split: cheap models for the masses, expensive ones for business…

Claude Code in the trenches: memory and planning
After context compaction, Claude Code automatically rereads CLAUDE.md files — global and project-level. Whatever you put there, it remembers after compaction. Here's what must be in CLAUDE.md…

How I started writing a delivery system
Enough chatter. Let's get to the process. I'll keep technical terms to a minimum so the overall picture stays clear. Here's what I had on input: there was a delivery website, I was the dispatcher in it, there were drivers, products, a storefront, orders…

How I organized my workspace with neural nets
This may be hard to follow for some, especially those just stepping into the topic. I'll try to explain it as plainly as possible. If you have questions — ask. I try to answer everything. Sometimes questions accidentally get caught by the auto-moderation…

Limits
It's not all rosy. Neural nets have limits. And if you don't understand them — you'll keep paying for it. The scheme looks simple. You frame the task. It solves it. You check the result. But if you want it to frame the task for you…

Behind the scenes
Honestly, life is a new state of who you used to be before coming back. When everyone needs something from you. Everyone wants something. Everyone tugs at you. Constantly distracts you. And all you want is one thing — you need…

Third step. How I joined a real project
I was offered a simple job. Dispatcher. A project in Miami. Delivery. Drivers. Clients. $150–250 a day. No development. Just stay in touch, connect people, check payments. At that moment it suited me.

Step two. When it became clear the problem wasn't the VPN
Once the VPN was more or less settled — several servers, masking, chains — a new question came up: what's next? And here's an important aside. Since 2020, when I was in the jungle, I'd had a channel and a chat…

First step. Not AI, but security
When I came back, I wasn't thinking about AI, projects, or money. The first thing that became obvious was that the world had gotten harsher. Almost immediately I kept hearing the same thing: don't go online without a VPN; VPN traffic gets throttled.

Why get into all this in the first place
Everyone is talking about AI right now. Too much, too empty. Guides, courses, videos, "look how easy it is." Strip away the noise and one normal question remains: what of this can actually be used if you're not planning to…
