The models got better.

I gave my coding agents a Discord activity and accidentally made the scale of their work visible.

You don't need drift detection to start.

I pointed Claude at Evan Miya probabilities and Yahoo public picks and told it to build a bracket optimizer.

AI makes checking claims cheaper than making them.

Automate the draining parts, focus on what gives you energy

Agents + CLIs + skills is the core of the future - nobody has figured out the right human interface for that yet

No theory, just the setup — how I actually work with AI tools day to day

Everything else is CLIs and skills files
