1000%. I'll create tons of one-shot projects that I use everyday but if they go longer than 2-3 days then it's probably game over unless I'm working on a cool feature for something else I find interesting. For example, I built a tracker for models. It knew about the new Fugu model before I did. 🤣

Say no once, you look difficult. Say no ten times, you look disciplined.

Your focus blocks aren’t luxuries, they’re armor. If you don’t guard them, clients will fill the space with their chaos. What’s the one block on your calendar that never moves?

Flexibility isn’t free labor. Adapt on your terms, not theirs. If clients want evenings, shift your mornings later. Today, I'm allowing for a peaceful morning.

Momentum is built on small daily victories. The size of the win matters less than the chain. - Write them down. - Show your receipts. - Keep the streak alive. What’s the smallest win you tracked today?

The most radical productivity hack isn’t a cold plunge or a 5 AM alarm. It’s turning distractions off at a set schedule everyday. Sleep is the real leverage. Be honest 😅 What time do you actually crash?

Boundaries aren’t walls, they’re safety nets. They protect your time, your family, and your work by keeping focus where it matters most in each moment. What’s harder for you, holding the line at home or at work (or both)?

Now I’m curious 🤔 If you had to hand off just one task to an AI agent… 📅 scheduling 📧 email drafting 🔍 research 📝 summarization ♻️ repetitive edits Which one would you offload first if you could only pick one?

Seth Rose @sethrose.dev · 18/09/2025
Summarization is my secret weapon. Agents provide a clean TL;DR with action items. Skimming 10% of the content keeps me informed. It's the difference between drowning in information and managing it. Agents turn the flood into a drinkable bucket.

The first job I give an agent is scheduling. You send an email that says, “When are you free?” and the back-and-forth begins. An agent can check your calendar, check theirs, propose slots, confirm, and send the invite. It’s the most obvious time sink that people still tolerate.
Picture this: your calendar cleaned up automatically.

Up +7% in just over a month. No trading, just holding + staking. Sometimes boring works. 😎

My win: spent the past week focusing on social media interactions. Engagement’s already up 60%+ so looks like it’s working.
My analytics screenshot showing 7% engagement rate (+63%) and 5.7K engagements (+195%).

AI agents often fail at tool handoffs, not reasoning. The 3 design rules that fix it? 1. Ensure context persists through interactions. 2. Expect failures as the norm and plan accordingly. 3. Allow agents to seek clarification before finalizing. Which ones do you commonly see ignored?

These are the 5 things that quietly decide if an LLM tool scales or breaks. Which one do you think teams ignore most? 👇

Before launching your AI agent, make sure to save these 5 rules to catch weak AI agents before launch. These common pitfalls are the primary culprits behind most AI agent launch failures. Which one do you think kills scale fastest? 🧵

Success! Got system audio recording and transcription up and running on my #Macbook Pro! 🎧 Here I am streaming #WWDC25. Next on the list: cracking database ingestion and categorization, before crafting an AI Agent with memory of everything I watch.

Update. Looks like it completed with a few errors. I'm now having it double check itself to see if it can resolve it.

Seth Rose @sethrose.dev · 13/05/2025
Update. Seems to be working really well.

Whelp, let's see if Claude Sonnet 3.7 can help me back up my files successfully. Follow me for the update. 🤞

Planning to reset my Macbook Pro either tomorrow or the next day. Typically use it for Development (Typescript & Python), LLMs and models. - Got any pre or post reset rituals you'd recommend? - What essential software do you always load up on a fresh install?

Spent the day working on my flowerbeds. It's been ages since I tackled something so hands-on. Sure, my back’s protesting, but the sense of accomplishment is worth the ache. Nice to shift gears from staring at code!

Got tired of waiting for the “perfect tool,” so I'm building my own from scratch. It’s basic, but works and has taught me more than I expected. The best part? Total control over every feature. It's locally hosted, fee-free, and driven by Qwen3. Anyone else built their own tools out of necessity?

Claude refused to update a file, so I intentionally updated it with bogus data. Suddenly, it was all, "Oh, now I see the problem!" and updated it correctly. 🧠

I guess let's see if this thing works well with Qwen3. 😅

That terrible moment when you run o3 (High Reasoning) in Chat Mode.

Seth Rose @sethrose.dev · 30/04/2025
Avoided o3 because of its cost, then spent hours chasing a bug with no luck. So go figure that o3 solved it instantly. What's pricier: wasted time or spent money? 😒

I might have gone a little overboard with my self-hosted Claude Projects replacement, but hey, it works like a charm! 😅

Revenue screenshots are boring. Show me the weird bugs and the late-night fixes.

People love to say ‘just use AI for that’, until it fails at the one thing you actually needed.

My best work usually come from breaking something important.

Stop worrying about AI taking your job. Instead ask, "Am I leveraging AI to outpace the competition?" Offense wins championships. Defense just delays the inevitable.

🚨 Attention Vibe Coders! #DevMode #BuildInPublic Top Secret AI Labs and Senior Devs don't want you to know this one weird trick to get ANY LLM to find the error! Just sprinkle log statements on EVERY single line of code. Complexity is overrated.

🚨 Attention Developers: Cursor AI Update! 🚨 In the latest April 15th beta (v0.49.x), ALL .env.* files (and more) are now silently blocked from AI access, including your .env.example templates! If you notice issues with your Cursor agent and config files, this is why. 👇

The best AI content doesn't look AI-generated. The best AI-assisted workers don't announce they're using AI. See the pattern? Invisibility is mastery.

Me when Gemini proposes a plan, but doesn't actually do it.

Seth Rose @sethrose.dev · 12/04/2025
Me: This code is broken. Gemini: You've hit the nail on the head! Me: No, it's still broken! 😩 Gemini: Wow, you've hit the nail on the head!

Seth Rose @sethrose.dev · 12/04/2025
Just weaponized my AI stack (Cursor + MCP + Gemini). Built a shopping agent that scanned 9k+ local deals into Postgres in 2 hrs. Cost me nothing. In fact, I'm basically printing money now. 🤑
